I'm never afraid of Goths, I always think "If you do anyone any harm, it's more likely to be you than me"

The Ladbrokes advert with Ally McCoist and Chris Kamara, so cringeworthy.

You've just watched it too then?

Basically, all footballers, athletes and sportspeople should be banned from appearing adverts - apart from Eric Cantona, because he can act.

Yes I personally know someone who was sacked by McDonalds for having a visible tattoo.

Seen it several times and it's really grating. Hate football coverage on ITV.

And featuring the obligatory aggressive female voiceover. Hate it.

Punk's Truly Dead if it's being used to shill the tasteless pap McDonald's pass off as

Anything with crap dancing in.

Not really adverts - ITV promos with Eric Cantona in.

New HSBC ad. Another of those 'aging through the years', this one featuring a bloke in a lift.

What is it with these bl**dy types of ads? Personally, I think what really winds me up about them is that it seeks to define someone's entire existence - and usually a cliched middle-class nuclear family - through time solely by their relationship to an all encompassing corporate entity. I just find them so depressing and limiting in their viewpoint.

I also can't stand those Tesco ads with Ben Miller and Ruth Jones. He's (what else!) the cliched 'embarrassing' middle-class, middle-aged dad with all sense of dignity or respect surgically removed from him, and she's the obligatory tragically smug Mum who always has to get the last quip in.

and has he ever heard of Newton's Third Law, When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body. So that if he is tired pushing the child, then he must also get tired from the back pressure of the blower, which pushes back with a force equal to that which he exerted pushing child with his hand and that is ignoring the weight of the blower.
This is why the riddle of the man with three bars of gold, crossing a bridge that will only support him and two bars of gold, doesn't work, or stephen fry's "Budgies in a lorry" doesn't either

I lkie both Ben and Ruth but they should both be ashamed of themselves

Re HSBC the one withe house built in a day that poor couple meant to be pleased with the invitation to a house that seems to have basically gone up in their back yard

Well said.
Such a tired, cliched and quite insulting meme.

Any ad, usually yoghurt ones, where the male trips over, falls down or has a ball thrown to his head, and the half naked, bikini-clad smug female soooo smugly eats a spoon of yoghurt with a smile on her smug face. Sexist sows.

I always mute all ads but when cr@p like that is on, I also have to turn my head or close my eyes.

Yet she's the idiot who exclaims "FAT FREE??!" when it's clearly written on the lid...

It's bloody awful that ad. The girl is so odd looking; she looks evil and she's spotty too. Are we meant to believe that he fancies her? Or is he scared of her? I'm not sure LOL!

I hate ANY of those ads. Awful. Preying on peoples emotions and guilt tripping them. It's a well documented fact that most of the money collected by these 'charities' doesn't go to the people it's meant for. And if you DO sign up for them, you get hounded for more money. Older and vulnerable people are often bullied and ripped off by charities.

Bleedin' awful ad. As if Tesco - or any other store - would let you bring a melon back FFS!

Who writes this ghastly scripts? As someone said earlier, Ruth and Rob should be ashamed of themselves, being linked to this God-awful string of ads. And what happened to their appalling 43 year old 'son?'

Tesco are trying to create a cute little tv family like the Bisto family, and it's really not working. It's so bad that it's actually embarrassing
