That awful squeaky-voiced bloke in the Safestyle adverts, plus all the other Safestyle employees with their red tops and their inane grins.
Definitely not my experience of Safestyle. |

That chuffing James Martin ASDA advert - incredibly wooden, stilted and cringe worthy. Are they using the same advert agency as Tesco by any chance? Absolutely terrible.
Not to mention that the size of the sandwich he makes for circa 6 people at a picnic is hilariously small, they'll be lucky if it stretches to a slice each. If this was me I'd not be saying "Thanks James!" I'd be saying "WTF is this? You do realise there's 6 of us don't you. Thanks for ruining the picnic you t**t!".

The McDonalds advert with the goth girl, so cringe.

Deezer.
Especially the one where some terrible supposedly retro sounding voice mentions things that rhyme with 'deezer'. It is horrific! Yes...I now remember that it's for Deezer but that isn't always a good thing, as now I will make sure I don't ever use it! |

He quits Saturday Kitchen to do guff like this and other BBC shows, and SK *still* shows a lot of his old clips on there as often as they do with Keith Floyd and Rick Stein. |

No offence, but I hate people who complain about selling out.
In this case, how can fictional animated characters sell out?. ![]() |

The Malteser ad where the woman gives her boyfriend the flick. I'm not surprised he's been snogging other women if she acts that immature all the time.

Channel 4's constant promotion of "Summer Screen" at Somerset House in London.
It is ONLY in London, as obviously the troglodytes who live in every other town and City in the UK have no interest in watching films. This has been going on for years, and really annoys me. Why not at least try other cities ? . |

I have posted numerous times before against the current trend of ads showing men as weak, or gormless, or idiots.
However recently I stumbled upon an old BBC 2 documentary series from 1990. The series was called BBC Washes Whiter. It was a 5 part series about the televisual advertsing industry over its first 35 years in the uk (1955-1989). And the best thing about it is that it is a 1990 BBC documentary so its only a voiceover and information from advertsing executives and directors and experts (none of this modern thing of asking the general public or soap stars to give their uninformed opinions). I'll post a link to the second episode which is about how men were shown in UK TV advertising in the mid 50's through to the end on the 80's. Turns out that since the early-mid 1960's men have been shown to be incompetent compared to women, except in ads for products directed at men (alcohol, tabbaco, cars, aftershave ect). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpD3MoLzXeg |

you remind me of one the passengers when I was working on a cruise liner , he said how he loved the cruises and had been coming for about 40 years ever since he was 30 years, he said "When I was 30 years it was wonderful, different woman every night, when I was 50 years it was wonderful, different menu every day, now that I'm 70 years, it's really wonderful, bowels open every day."

"We feel joy" - urgh this song fills me with such hatred and annoyance! What is it with Morrisons doing a song to death? It really grates on me every time I hear it.

So green flag have jumped on the let's make fun of men bandwagon.
The dad gets out of the car to fix it, what's he thinking he's a man trying to do something men are good at in real life but now attempting in media so clearly he won't be able to fix it, and he falls over. Cue wife and children showing no concern for what looks like a very nasty fall but laughing. He should drive them off a cliff |

He should drive them off a cliff Calling the ASA or similar does no good I did that and was told, "Men are more robust about these things, not that that means that it is 'Open Season' on men" NO? it looks that way to me and what you just said confirms it. But the more that we object to the advertising standards and tell the product sellers that we won't buy their product the sooner that they will get the message |

OK, so we are now on the second advert for McDonalds to feature a staff member with a neck tattoo. Their UK policy states that tats "are only allowed if they are unobtrusive." I smell bs.

Tescos latest one with Ruth and Ben the fruit steals the scene.
James Martin and the unexpected guests at the bbq , I love the way he breaks the bread for the feeding of his countless guests and then walks on the water of his pool. (slight exaggeration ) Maltesers ad Frickin irritating. I'd have stuck the chocs up her nose when it went to penalties. ![]() Rob Brydon on a cruise ship. Give it time and he'll be the cabaret act - a suitable ending. |

Lovehoney with 'couples ' straight out of central casting discussing sex toys is pretty cringe.
