The Lidl advert where the woman is scared that their beef isn't British. Yep drag her to Scotland to chase cows. Sounds like Brexit got and input through and through.

He's got a great sense of humour and is very clever.
Don't care for Blunt's music, but he does seem to have a nice line in Self-deprecating
humour.

I think it might be an iphone advert.

I agree with you though it is seriously annoying. Definitely on the mute list.
I am with you there - one of the worst I have seen in a long time

Just seen the new Maltesers ad.

Come back Annie, perhaps you weren't so bad after all!

Whoever's doing the Halifax adverts must be living in the stone ages, utterly ridiculous.
Same company as the equally stupid B&Q ones I guess.

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

The one for Renault where there's a an outdoor theatre (yes, I know it's just CGI and doesn't actually exist) full of people watching the car being put through some scenarios.

But the theatre is stuck on to the edge of a cliff with half of it on stilts - why did they need to do that???

What should have happened next in that advert is her getting thrown out of the bar on her ass for throwing sweets around.

The Jeremy Kyle show bumper ads which are based around a hotel & everyone ends up dancing with each other. The one in particular that is cringeworthy is where a waiter with a beard & a blonde waitress bump into each other knocking there plates everywhere, they then proceed to do a silly dance & the blonde lady clearly can't dance to save her life! I've seen more rhythm & timing in an arthritic newt!

Every single Sky advert that seems intent on cramming in every single shouty, whacky-American-voiced character from the latest 'hit' children's CGI cartoon movie into a 1 minute advert. But it's the endless, shouty, look-at-me dialogue, filled with 'whacky' one-liners, which are never funny, cute - you name it.

The characters never. Shut. Up. For the entire advert.

Direct line 'it's just my waife's old flart.' If they are married, it's HIS flat too. Stupid.

The Cancer research ad with the ugly girl with the glasses and the weird mouth and the emo boyfriend who's there 'supporting' her. I don't know why, but this advert just REALLY bugs me! It's so badly done.

I have mentioned it before, but the ANDREX ad is awful! How clean do YOU feel when you have been for a shit? Cue embarrassed giggling. "Well, I don't use ANDREX, so I probably have skid marks on my knickers!'

What a revolting advert. And that little git who says 'as clean as a squid!' 'as clean as a puffer fish' etc. Who WRITES this shit?!

I use Tesco everyday value bog paper, so I am probably in the skid mark category as well.

That Budweiser commercial where they're at a football stadium and the audience is making a big display of opening a bottle of the "beer", then pouring it into a glass, followed by drinking it (with audible chugging noises) and then a big gasp afterwards.
Anyone who drinks 'Bud' needs medical help. Its horsepee.

The Fixodent ad with the 'dramatisation' of the woman in the giant mouth with dentures. Thank you advert for letting us know it's NOT a real mouth ffs!

Diet Chef: With the bint talking to her former fat self. WTF!

Actually liking the Ryan Reynolds BT ad.

I hate all the Cancer Research ads. They're on every ad break. CRUK will never find a cure, it generates far too much income.

The Trivago ad. with that antipodean woman claiming you can see prices from various sites for "the exict saime room".

This must surely contravene advertising standards as it is extremely unlikely that exactly the same room is on offer on all sites, as it's impossible to tell what allocation each has, or even if "the room" that is being offered on site "A" hasn't just been sold on site "B".

Anyway, the best way of getting a decent room, at a reasonable prices is to do the research yourself and book directly with the (independently owned / operated) property yourself! Works every time for me.

I Kind of like that advert too, certainly better than the Alec Baldwin one.

Really, they can't find a cure, don't tell that to the Royal Marsden or they might stop treating me

In America at the moment Bud had been renamed "America".
Another reason not to drink it.

Why not take your own advice Istvan, and leave Scotland out of it.

It isn't just you jenny, that bloke looks utterly revolting.

Talking of revolting blokes in ads, I thought that they'd sucked that extremely annoying **** in the GoCompare ads into a black hole and killed him off.

Bring the black hole back and take the taxi driver with him.
