That new ad for Kelly's ice cream.
I love ice cream and was interested in the ad for the first couple of seconds until it just became pathetically stupid and an insult to the intelligence. I love trying new sweets and ice creams etc but I won't ever buy any of Kelly's on principle, after having to suffer that nonsense.

I wonder which particular genius thought that David Mitchell talking to a glass of orange juice was a wonderful idea.

Also why does her look so pleased when the sat-nav gives him the directions for work? Surely he must have known satellite navigation came with the car upon purchase, or is he just that excited to get to work?

What annoys me at the end of the advert is when he pulls out from where he is parked. He doesn't check his mirrors or look behind him to see if anything is coming. He's an accident waiting to happen!

Forgive me if it's been mentioned & I dont' even know what it's advertising as it infuriates me so much - the one where kids are sulking in the kitchen because Dad has to selfishly go to work so the boy sullenly moves the clock-hands back & then they guilt-trip Dad into turning the clock back even more.
Then they all laugh, hug and celebrate making Dad late for work to spend quality family time spreading butter or whatever amazing fun they were already having.

As its Cornish ice cream. Its the first TV ad ever where that language has been spoken. And it was in the news and well promoted. |

I hate adverts where they use a very well known voice to add credibility, but then get them to say "We this and We that" as if they are a member of the company. Barclaycard and David Mitchell are current culprits.

Then there's the razor advert.
"You want to jump into the pool but then you think" (staged look downwards) "Am I beach ready"? WTF?? |

For me any "Go Compare" ad, but particularly the Gregg Wallace clone driving the taxi... Fantastic!!

Volkswagen Tiguan, where the bearded dad drops his aloof kid off at school in the very kind of car that marks you out as a tosser right off the bat: Off roader lookalike, lowered suspension, low profile tyres on bling wheels, obligatory vanity plate, and he even has that thudding music booming out of it. The advert is making out that you'll be thought of as cool and therefore more loved by your child when you act as their personal chauffeur in one of these attention whore wagons. But what the rest of us know is that you'll just look like some kind of Madely-esque, desperate bell end.

![]() Also the fact they try an portray Michelle McManus as a beloved Scottish celebrity. She is, at best, a local Glaswegian celebrity. Outside of Glasgow no-one is interested. A quick look confirms this. As a recording artist she only released 1 album and 4 singles (2 of which failed to chart in the UK Charts). There was also her TV presenting career (all with STV - aka Scottish Television, which any Scot will tell you should be called GTV - Glasgow Television) hosting 'The Hour' on STV (think a cut price 'The One Show') This show was a mild daytime hit for 2 years, then STV decided to move this to prime time and drop an ITV show (I think it may of been The Bill, but I may be wrong). In primetime the show tanked and was cancelled after 4 shows. This is nothing against McManus, it just she is the latest in a long line here in Scotland of a minor Glaswegian celebrity being misrepresented as 'beloved Scottish celebrity' by the Scottish Media (all based in Glasgow) and the UK media. And I'm sure that any compaints made about the ad will be meet with a reply that, "The man from the agency that came up with the idea/was in charge of production is Scottish so it must be OK." I'm sure they will be the occasional Scottish person who will like this advert and probably think the advert has been made to be shown only in Scotland, without realising this is a UK wide campaign and has been designed more for the English (and Welsh and Irish) to laugh at the Scots. Really it is quite pathetic! |

As a Scotsman I find this advert very offensive. Its another one of those adverts that come from a London agency (Lucky General in case your wondering) and plays on the London stereotype of Scotland - tartan wearing, red haired, beard growing, bagpipe playing, shortbread tin, angry at the world, chip on our shoulder but cover it up with passive aggressive humour stereotype.

I know it will have been said 100 times on this thread, but the 'Doncha', Moneysaving Supermarket ad with the bloke sashaying down the street with his CGI fat-arse-in-denim-hot-pants, is extremely annoying.
It's even more disturbing now, as I think he resembles daytime trash-TV lawyer 'Judge Rinder'. Now I know why the esteemed barrister wears a long, black gown! (It's slimming.)
