Quick, quick, think

The one with the horses ? I like that one

Blimey that must have been one hell of a sneeze! Better get after it Mrs it can't have gone far.

Can we have a group hug if I hand out the clothes pegs (never seen them advertised!) for our noses then?

I know right. Very odd ad! (The one with the mint faced man!)

And the one with Verne Troyer is fecking annoying!


Me to LOL. It's funny when the Geordie lasses speak... and he says 'I love the Danish!'


I agree. Futurama fan, take a week's break (or a few days at least,) and just chill. I have days when posts of mine disappear all the time on several other forums I post on. Some are valid removals, some are NOT. But I wouldn't leave! STAY.


Ha ha, nor for me. I never pee when I sneeze.

Another type of ad I hate. Ones where they go out of their way to be multi-cultural. Mixed marriage etc.

There's one with the smug David Mitchell (Barclays I think) that fits this bill.

Couldn't agree more. Just supremely annoying!!!

But for me the worst has to be ANY payday loan ad. The cynical marketing strategy that they use, presenting themselves as caring so much about you that their happy to lend you as much money as you want, while at the same time making sure the several thousand % interest info is tucked away at the bottom of the screen in tiny letters, never fails to astound me.

Ugh that awful advert with Ronaldo flashing his six-pack I hope once the Euros final is done tomorrow I will have to stop seeing his smirking face!! I don't understand what women find appealing about him, he's so plastic-looking.

You won't be wanting to go and stay in his new hotel then?

I think if we start with the safe distance and then anything after that should be entirely optional and for the sake of sanity, absolutely no declarations or records to be kept of who made what choice.


Just so long as this touchy-feely nonsense doesn't involve any actual touching or feeling, I've seen the threads in GD and am well aware that people around here are a bunch of deranged perverts

His wife Victoria Coren Mitchell is absolutely annoying!

I have to agree with this, and have mentioned this before, but last time I did, I was accused of being racist. Seriously, that word has lost its meaning now! People are accused of being racist for virtually nothing!

As I have said before, virtually 3 in 5 in ads seems to have mixed race couples, and mixed race families. It's like they're boxing ticking and appeasing the PC brigade. I could literally count on the fingers of one hand, the amount of mixed race couples I have ever known; yet the tv commercials constantly feature them.

It's the same in my town. It's over 90% white, and roughly 95% of the pupils are white in the schools in my part of town. Yet on the big advertising boards (outside the schools,) 75-80% of the children featured on them are black or Asian.

The secondary school near me is 97% white, yet on the big board advertising the school outside, 4 out of 5 of the pupils are black or Asian. It's the same in the prospectuses for the 2 colleges in my part of town. Approximately 60% of the students featured are non-white; yet only 5% of the 'actual' students are non-white.

Also, I have done a number of courses through my workplace, and much of it is online. Around 1 in 3 of the questions I got had names like Ravinder, Kamal, Suki, and Denzel, and animated pictures of Asian and Black people.

Not being racist, just making a point. When there is less than 15% non-white in the UK, why does the media act as if virtually two thirds of the population is non white?


Yes, awful adverts! The one with that irritating bint saying 'you'll have to smell for today!' grates on me!

"Yeah, here, have two grand on us! But if you don't pay it back by next Friday, the boys from 'Can't Pay We'll Take It Away' will be around, forcing their way into your house, pushing you around, forcing their way into your private bedroom, and rifling through your personal, precious treasured possessions, and making out YOU are the aggressor!"


I feel the same. I think he's vile. Give me Beckham any day!

That sentimental tosh bank advert - Lloyds TSB. The one with the slow mo. Stop telling us you care about us - you're a bank, not Hallmark cards.

"I'm 32 and I've never smoked".... Shut up you mug. Wifey in the background putting laundry in the washing machine......"I'll go ahead...".... Life insurance for suckers!

"We give you £125 just to switch accounts."
"So, what will you do with your £125?" (the bloke asking the question would be wise to invest in a suit. One that fits.)

Then, at the end of the ad. the 'small print' flashes up. You have to sign up to the Halifax 'Ultimate Rewards' account. £15 per month. So they've got their money back in 8 months. Oh, and it's not open to anyone who's switched since Jan. 2012.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You are not alone!" Dumb bird wants to borrow £2k over two years. "I could easily pay it back." Well yeah. That's £20 a week for 2 years. Except Virgin Money charge 99.9% apr, so that's £40 per week. Sounds a bit different now, doesn't it?

Oh God, yeah, he's so smug isn't he? I always think, what do you want, a medal?

They've changed that bloke haven't they? He's still annoying though.

Those awful ads with William Devane plugging crap "gold coins", that keep turning up on Sky Sports News. "The Rrrrrraslin Guide To Gold" or whatever it is

Does anybody know if the guy playing his "butler" is that "movie heavy" actor Gavan O'Herlihy (bloke out of Superman III and loads of other things)?

And while I'm on Sky, that Royal London funeral plan one with the annoying Welsh voiceover - sorry, "Rrroyal Landan"...

Makes a hell of a drinking game though.
If you take one sip for every 100% of interest, get the wrong ads up and you be paralytic in one ad break !!!

That drink drive ad where the woman wants her drunk husband to come and pick her up from a night out. He ends up in the doghouse because he refused.

What sort of information does this send out ffs!!!! Why is the man the bad person in this ad. He is preventing death by drink driving. Why would the makers think this is a good ad

It's a joke. He's in the doghouse - "but alive". I think it's a good campaign.

'Everybody yeah yeah Chicken satay yeah yeah "

I know, it's on par with that awful advert with the two old guys in the pub playing darts..... "I'll give them call!"

Exactly! Most banks are scum. Out to get every penny out of you that they can! We have had a few run-ins and altercations with banks in the past. One example is them asking us if we wanted a 'health plan' to pay for dental and opticians etc, and we said NO because we had one through my husband's employer.

5 months later, I noticed a payment coming out of the bank for £33, that I didn't recognise. (Didn't have internet banking then, and worked long hours, so that's why it took that long for me to spot it; it was when I was combing through the last few months statements looking for something else. ) ANYWAY, it turns out that the cheeky bastards had only gone and set up the plan anyway!

Oddly, even though they set it up, not only without our permission, but also without us signing anything, we had to put it WRITING that we wanted to leave the plan! AND we had to give a month's notice!

Another example is, our bank called us in 'for a little chat to talk about our accounts and to see what they can do to help us.' I went alone as my husband was working, and they tried to scare me into taking out a 'spouse safety' plan, (something like that!) They said if my husband suddenly dies, all 3 accounts will be frozen and I won't be able to get any money, for possibly one or 2 months, (and the same goes for him!)

So this plan will pay out £1500 to keep us going until 'everything is sorted.' It was going to cost £25 a month EACH! (£600 a year!) for this plan! That was a big fat lie, as all 3 accounts are joint accounts, and I can access the money whenever I like (and so can he!) And the same will apply if one of us dies. Lying scum! Trying to con us AGAIN. I do have a few more examples, but that's enough for now!


That is super annoying, and that fella - the dark haired one who has a baby girl with him - is a TERRIBLE actor!

And yes, most insurances are a rip off and a waste of time! Me and my husband don't have any insurance, except car insurance which we HAVE to have, and home contents which is only a tenner a month anyway, and breakdown cover at £7 a month. We even cancelled our pet insurance for our 2 cats, when it went up from £29 a month for 2 cats to £55, because our elder cat hit 8 years old! (The other one is 3 years younger, so within 3 years it would have gone up to about £75-85 a month!)

We have had cats for 15 years, and have never claimed on the insurance, and everything like flea drops, worming tablets, inoculations, and spaying etc, aren't covered anyway! Plus, when our younger cat had a little operation 3 years ago, it only cost £170 in total. Our excess is £80! So it wasn't worth claiming!

Our bank account is £700 a year better off now, and the money is no longer going in the pockets of the insurances company! Plus, I discovered there were loads of things that weren't covered, and things like ongoing payments for diabetes or epilepsy that they said they would keep paying out, stop when they have paid out a certain amount. Basically, they make sure they only pay out for about a year to a year and a half.


Yeah, PLUS, £125?! That's not much of an incentive for ME to swap banks... offer 2 grand and I'll consider it! They all have multiple millions tucked away that the government gave them with the 'quantitative easing,' so they can afford it!


I don't think I've seen this one....

Immigrants from Ireland, Europe, Canada, USA etc are mainly white...

The asa think it's a good ad with a good message based on the reply I received when I complained.
So that is acceptable but in London you can't have beach ready bodies used in adverts and I'm assuming that only applies to female bodies.
Sjw's and feminist ruin everything they meddle in in media.
No doubt there won't be any equivalent Think! Ad with the genders reversed in the same way.
