That awful Crunchie advert rips my gears

I love the Sky Q advert song.......I've gotta be me by Sammy Davis Jr

Just seen an advert with Tom Daley in where he is presenting an enormous cake. Yes I'm sure with a body like that he's always eating enormous cakes!

That Clearscore advert - I'm half surprised we haven't needed to buy a new TV after that's advert's been shown. (And, seeing how common a name it is these days, I highly doubt he's the only person in York called Charlie.)

Also, is the dog supposed to sound like the Cookie Monster?

I see we have a new Halifax advert this time featuring the Flintstones.

Sadly poor Fred sounds like he had had a stroke.

I saw an abomination of an advert late last night, for late rooms it was. I've attempted to block out the memory but I seem to remember a couple in a bedroom. The man is lying and reading on the bed and his wife is stood at the side of the bed checking her phone. The woman who is on the larger side then screams, delirious at the fact she's got tickets to see Chris De Burgh. She gets so excited that her towel falls off at which point she is completely naked bar her underwear. Her exposed tits are then pixelated out as she proceeds to dance out of the room waving her 32z bra around in the air.

The voiceover proclaims that "it doesn't look like an advert for laterooms". Well so far laterooms ads have followed the following formula; common people doing something demonstrably embarrassing, idiotic and/or demeaning such as painting themselves gold, getting naked and then rubbing themselves in front of a mirror or having a complete gimp beatbox about Liverpool tickets in front of his sister, who clearly hates him as well as grown men dressed as pigs and fairy's crashing cars. So laterooms think their perfect customer is overweight, working class, highly obnoxious, likes to get gold and kinky in the hotel room and not the least bit self aware and that they probably drink drive. Seems to follow the formula ********.

He narrates in this kind of overly familiar, laid back attitude where he describes what's happening as it happens, adding unfunny comments as the scenes progress. It's really not the traditional kind of ad narration. It reminds me of the deezer adverts. He says things like "cue massive logo sparkles". I'll give them credit because it is slightly different and kind of funny for its ridiculousness but all of that is outweighed by the fact that its levels of obnoxious stupidity make it completely unwatchable.

I take it you're not referring to the old Wilma-or-Betty question...

The Dulux Endurance ad. with the horrible brats drawing on walls, kicking a wet football against the wall etc. and then 'yummy mummy' gives them an 'aah, bless!' look.

I wonder if Dulux Endurance can get blood splatter off the walls...

"You and MEEEEEEEEE"

God, I am seriously getting sick of that IKEA advert!

not as sick as I am of the Gladstone Brooke's ad, "Sold to you and I" NO you prat, it's "You and ME" you wouldn't say, "Sold to I" would you, or perhaps YOU would you prat

Betty Rubble? Well... I would go with Betty.

But I'd be thinking of Wilma.

So Rodgers & Hammerstein were wrong with 'The King & I'.

But in all seriousness I remember reading an article about this years ago on the BBC website. Apparently there are grammatic rules for both 'You & Me' and 'You & I'.

'You & I' should be used when they refer to the subjects in a sentance.

'You & Me' should be used when they refer to objects in a sentance.

Therefore that Gladstone Brooks ad is wrong and they should use 'You & Me'

If I can find this article I'll post it via editing this post, or a new post if the editing period has expired.

EDIT - Found the BBC article. Here is the link:-

Go Outdoors, dear.

basically very simple, think of the sentence in the singular, example, "Are you coming to London with me" becomes "Are you coming to London with Tommy and me", as one would not say "Are you coming to London with I" one does not say ""Are you coming to London with Tommy and I"
If one would say "I am going to London are you coming with me" then one would say "Tommy and I are going to London are you coming with us" but one would not say "Me are going to London are you coming with me" so one would not say "Tommy and me are going to London are you coming with us"
So of course as one would say "Sold to me" not "Sold to I" as one would say "Sold to you and me" not "Sold to you and I"
I hope that that makes it clear, as for the King and I, just think of the words of Petula Clark's song "England swings" "England swings like a pendulum do .............." just one of many examples of contorted English to fit a song lyric and need I mention "To boldly go...."

New Admiral ad - still no idea what that it is supposed to be about - just distracted by the stupid "Admiral's" children's dress-up box costume.

Yet another year of being bombarded with adverts for Channel 4's "Summer screen".
Which only takes place at Somerset house in London.

Nowhere else in the UK whatsoever.

Obviously everybody lives in London, nobody lives anywhere else in the UK.

you mean that we don't? oh yes of course I do remember that there are a few people who have the misfortune to live in the wilder parts of the country, places like Manchester, Sheffield, Gloucester, Norwich I think that they even have cinemas in some of those places, or as they call them "Picture Houses" where they show "Magic moving lantern slides", I believe that it cost two eggs or a pound of potatoes for a show, they also have beer or as they call it ale at a score of eggs a firkin

Such a vile, obnoxious racket. It's as if she can't remember the words so starts "Woah ohh ohhhhhhhh"-ing over the rest of it. Horrible.

Come on, who are you kidding?
She'll never leave Fred and we know it.

Latest Always advert with the female goalkeeper;

"Do you really believe because I'm a woman you think I'll crack under pressure"

Err... No?

"Well, look at these fanny pads, look at them with their gel, no leaks, look at them. Because I'm a woman."

WTF is this all about? WTF does being a woman cracking under pressure have to do with fanny pads

You know. You could be right

Go Indoors does not really have the same ring to it

Not that keen on the new Amazon advert with the girl on the swing, is it Duggie Brown pushing her? looks like it, LOVED him in the comedians.

Don't think he's still with us is he? *goes off to look up Wikipedia*

EDIT: ooh, I stand corrected - he's 75

There's a new McDonald's ad with a new edgy punky rock tattooed chick. Wahoo

About an advert only shows the product is noticed , advert paid for , better still boycot the product there is many I hate Tesco last Xmas have not been back there since
