Yes they happily throw money at you, then as soon as you miss ONE payment; they'l have your credit record wrecked, and the boys from 'Can't pay, we'll take it away' around your house,before you can say 'default!'

I HATE that, and I can't stand her either. Her voice or her weird lips. WHY do these young 20 something women ruin their face with botox/collegen?

And on THIS one, the collegen looks like it went a bit wrong with her lips! Pic on the right... (And her nose looks weird too.)

I HATE that Thomas Cook ad. The little boy prancing around makes irritates the hell out of me. And I HATE the awful tune that goes with it! Is it Simon out of Corrie on that ad by the way?!

I agree. Annoying as eff.

As for Stacey Solomon, I'm sorry but she's annoying as fook. Sounds like Kermit the Frog on acid and looks like a horse.

Also, no idea why she's chucking her face around and shrugging her shoulders all the time like some sort of overly twee sweet girl type poses - stop being a knob love!”

I hate the Look Again ad. And yes Stacey isn't the prettiest girl, but OMG her VOICE! It's horrible! (Not the accent BTW, just the voice,) so irritating and nasally and whiny. Why have they used HER?

And I know I've said this before, but the G-tech air ram ads are THE WORST! They are too frequent and too long. Someone needs to shoot that annoying man "For just £299 paaaaaaaaands!"

I don't like either of those. As Ive said previously I mute it when that awful woman comes on. The other day on Sky I was watching the tributes to Jo Cox and they had a break and the first advert to come on was that one. I was so angry - I know they don't have any control over which adverts they show then but that was completely insensitive and she is beyond awful. Surely they cant think that she would encourage anyone to do the post code lottery.

I see the Jacobs Mini-Cheddars ad is back on with the three teen lads miming to 'Total Eclipse of the Heart'. I still don't understand why the 'mum' appears at the back of the room and seems to be having a conversation with someone (?) but has then gone from the next shot. Help me.

There's one on at the moment that has a recognisable old song playing throughout the ad which is fine. The song, at the end of the ad, gets cut of mid sentence/bar with a sort of needle slipping on vinyl/quick fade noise.
It's like they couldn't be arsed to tweak the track like most ads to fit the time they had. I know that this grabbed my attention but as its at the end of the ad I have absolutely no idea what it was for at all. If anything if I did find out I'd be likely to avoid the company for be so slapdash with the ad!

Not sure if anyone else on here has done this, but I asked Tesco on Facebook about their policy, and they said they wouldn't resell the melon. Not sure why they still allow its return. You buy a melon but don't need it? Give it to a neighbour. Or eat it! You might like something new!

I could understand if you'd spent a lot of money on the wrong TV, but a 50p melon? Oh, do me a favour!

!

And it plays for about two seconds before stopping. Whatever he's playing his music on, it needs throwing away!

And then, during the local North West weather on ITV, we hear a longer piece

I found out at the weekend that my Mum bought one of those half-price on Ebay. We have since disowned her

I think the ad your talking about is for JD Williams and the song is Teenage Kicks by The Undertones. For some reason they cut the song off at or just before the 'Wanna hold, wanna hold her tight' part.

Another one to add to our list of ads that highlight the difference in the way that men and women are portrayed in TV ads.

20-something guys in swimwear being ogled by old (over 70) woman = acceptable & comical.
20-something women in swimwear being ogled by old (over 70) man = unacceptable & sexist.

And its for Doritos, this product is almost certainly bought 50/50 by men & women of all ages, so they can't even use the excuse that 'this product is mostly bought by women, so they find this funny'.

And why does Sky use Disney animation to advertise it broadband for the past 2-3 years. Since when did 10 year olds buy the broadband for the family household?

Oh yes, that is absolutely godawful,and why the American accents? Even more reason to hate Rupert Murdoch and his empire of evil.

It comes back later in the break using a different part of the song. I still don't buy any of their shit.

Swapping that melon because she changed her mind? At what cost? How much environment-destroying petrol/diesel is that burning up for absolutely no reason at all, never mind needlessly adding to congestion on our roads? It won't be nuclear war that destroys the world, it's going to be disorganised shoppers

Not with a bang but a squeakily-wheeled whimper

I know it's the sponsor, and not a advert, but ITV please get another sponsor for Emmerdale.
Hate all the awful families and their silly comments
