Popcorn is a comparatively recent "tradition" in Britain. We used to buy those little bags of sweet Butterkist.

The woman in the Lidl advert going all the way up to Scotland to find out where her beef comes from

You know where it comes from love

True, and they usually rely on the lazy stereotype of a Cockney football fan for the voiceover (nobody north of Watford enjoys football of course). Suppose the "Accrington Stanley" milk advert of years ago was at least an exception.

Haha, yeh, that's a good description!

I'm not sure about the quote thing, I am new to Digital spy & still finding my way round the different forums.

"Money Supermarket" ad with the 2 guys wiggling their backsides at each other, I've had that song in the ad as an earworm for weeks, its awful, every time the ad comes on the earworm starts again. bloody irritating.

Actually, after all the general over-the-top tone of the ad, I quite like the end payoff - "Almost Makes Cleaning Exciting"

Make sure you get a smart TV with voice recognition!

I said "no **** off" to my tablet the other day because for some reason the 'voice search' thing appeared (when it was supposed to be disabled) right over the top of something I was trying to make work*, and to add insult to injury it put 'no **** off' on the screen ready to go as the search term


* swearing and irritable prodding, you can understand why people love their devices

my TV stands in the corner, one of the newer ones, that one use with the light on and the curtains un-drawn AND I do have the remote controller, but I keep tripping over the wire to it, the only tablets that I have are the ones from my local pharmacy

The automatic video recorder I had from Radio Rentals had a wired remote control and this was the last time I saw a 'package-included' wire that was anywhere near long enough to fulfil its intended purpose and even managed to be trip-free.

Such glee from the novelty of fast-forwarding through the ads and jingles

The "football fans" Pringles ad is just so rubbish on so many levels.

It is obviously a "multinational one" with no dialogue (just a voice over), no branding - apart from a pack shot.

The idea that people will only eat a certain flavour of crisp as the packet is the same colour as their team's strip is ridiculous.
What do they eat when their team plays away then ??

I'm Back!

Sorry to everyone for being a moody son of a bi*ch last week (thank god there is no 'delete account' option for this forum). Was having a bad day last week and just got p*ssed off over nothing, well nothing overly important anyway.

So if you will all have me back I solemnly swear not to do politics again, and I will avoid posting when I am having one of my 'black dog' days.

As a peace offering I bring this:-

The new AO advert playing up the gormless man trope by having him burn the dinner in the oven, whilst his wife & kids just continue laughing and playing in the kitchen.
