ad for a program on Spike, "New and exclusive to Spike, also available on ....."
it reminds me of my time spent as a market spieler "Now then ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, who wants this unique item, there is only one, so the first person with his arm up, thank you, gentleman over there, now who else wants one"

The weedy little pharmacist on the hayfever advert....
I actually knew that bloke in the past. He doesn't disappoint but I'll leave the insulting in the barrel this time.

As he doesn't have any injuries and has just been beaten by his wife it's clearly a reference to him just being emasculated by a woman so is playing on the tennis phrase and the insult that he has no balls anymore.
Seems most of the crap ads have been covered in this thread *breathes an odd sigh of relief*

The ad for whatever I can't remember and have not the slightest interest in knowing.
A man gets out the front passenger side of a car and trips and falls in mud and keeps slipping while trying to get up and gets mud all over the car window, while his unloving wife and two ungrateful daughters sitting in the car think it's so hilarious. If that was my dad, I be out instantly helping him. Yet another in a growing number of anti-male ads. |

The Jacob's Cracker Crisps Advert where the 'bridesmaids' are singing 'Ride on Time' is starting to annoy me now. It's cheesier than a mini cheddar.

Scam warning
not related to ads, but a warning, I have just been contacted by a man with an Indian sounding voice, claiming to be from Norton Anti Virus and telling me that I have viruses on my computer. I have contacted Norton and am informed that Norton do NOT contact customers in this way, it is a scam to gain control of one's computer |

There seems to be a new one from some organisation* promoting some 'intersection of spirituality and technology' ideal which sounds disturbingly like how someone might try and give a religious framing for promoting the loveliness of the Borg. And the URL they give doesn't mention the claim to be a church of some kind though anyone can call themselves one of those but it's a .org.uk domain which I thought had thought was supposed to be for non-profit organisations and for a non-profit they apparently have an impressive bank balance and having their name almost sound like it has something to do with science and together with the 'ology' bit, how could anyone dare to suggest otherwise...?
* who shall remain nameless, obv. |

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but the ad (I have no idea what it's for) which has a CGI dog eating at the breakfast table with the family. The dog is just creepy and it has a voice that sounds like it belongs to some kind of sociopath or even psychopath. It gives me the willies.

That's a very common scam and has been around for years. I actually went along with one chap with an Asian voice. He told be to enter a URL into the search box and I knew it would be dodgy so I hung up. But then I checked the URL and it was one of those which enables other users access to your computer.
![]() I do this for 2 reasons. One, scum like this deserve their time wasted and 2 if they are talking to me then they can't use that telephone operator for scamming others. Remember NO company will call you unless they want to either sell you something or outright scam you. Another red herring for these scammers is they always have a very heavy indian accent but will always have a western name, such as the following:- Scam Telephone Op - Hello, my name is Alex and I am call from Windows Technical Support (or any other tech company, or even a made up tech sounding name) there is security issues with your computer. If you then ask them where they are based or ask if they are in India they will always say (if they are pretending to be from a real company) they are calling from the city most associated with the company (ie Windows/Microsoft they will say they are from Seattle). So word of advice never, EVER trust someone who calls you, they are ALWAYS con-artists. |

I truly do hate these fake scammers. What I love to do is keep them on the phone for at least half an hour, pretending that I am a completely computer novice and need them to slowly go over everything again & again.

I forgot what the advert is about, but I hear this song by James Blunt when I'm doing other things in the background and I want to end my life. |

Remember NO company will call you unless they want to either sell you something or outright scam you. . Caller "I am calling about your accident" You "Oh yes, I have been suffering from memory loss" Caller (now excited at prospect of a sale) "How long ago was your accident" You "Accident, I dont remember having an accident. Have I had an accident ? " |

That diet chef one, where she meets her 'slim' self, looks and sounds like an apprentice task, a losing apprentice task!

"I want what you've got". OK, that would be extreme narcissism and a vocabulary which lacks any positive adjective except "amazing". |
