"And what the hell is Chris Akabusi doing prancing around in that mousse advert like a loon? He must have a very good sense of humour to do that."
or be a total prat, my bet is on the latter |

The "Yes I Can" advert for the Special Olympics is getting on my tits. I swear Four are playing it every break.

BGO: "Can't beat this"...
Very true and very honest from a bookie but somehow doubt that was their intention

Tesco maze advert: ineffectual male gets family lost in maze; females share a "typical hopeless man" look; female child saves the day, leading man by the hand out of maze.
Don't think I need make any further comment except (1) the "aunt" (Ruth somebody, I neither know nor care) gurns out the smuggest face ever (quite an achievement in adland) and (2) good luck to gender traitor Ben Miller trying to resurrect any credibility in his future career. |

BT Wi-Fi with that guy hanging from one hand from the helicopter. How I would have loved to have been in that helicopter and to have the opportunity to put my foot out and stamp on his fingers that are gripping the bar
Deep joy, am I sadistic

Any ads that have "quirky" characters.
I'm thinking of the Go Compare ads with the "fantastic" quoting morons or the Reed ads. Or the furniture ad from a little while ago which had a guy emerging from a wardrobe looking like a sex pest. |

The Paralympics. The Special Olympics are a different thing.
Yes, the Paralympics (physical disability) gets tons of coverage to the point of overkill; the Special Olympics (learning disability) gets none whatsoever and isn't even included as part of the overall Olympics event.

That is weird to not have had any build up or a series of ads showcasing everyone in the challenge.
But well done Malki for bucking the trend and being male in an advert that's competent and actually won something over females. Quote:
Whenever that advert comes on TV when you see that stupid celebration he does I always make a w**ker sign at the TV at him.

I am surprised no one has mentioned the Nationwide (?) advert where the little girl is handing out cakes to anyone and everyone.
Erm, hello? Is this the sort of thing we should be promoting? Hand out cakes to complete strangers and they will give you nice sparkly girlie presents back?! |

Ads for charities they stay in the UK is one thing, but charities that send money abroad, where it seldom gets to the people that it should do is another. One of my bêtes noires is the one about water, no-one but an idiot would drink the water as shown and describe, not without filtering and boiling first. When I was in Africa, the locals showed us the best type of "Moss" to use to filter, these ads treat either the viewer, potential contributor as a form of racist looking down on the "Poor ignorant native" which they aren't, or the native as a "Poor ignorant native" living in their own filth, which is again racist |

Role reversal, normally dirty old men handing out sweets to kids
![]() When my step-daughter was about 14 and at new school one of our favorite gags was for me to wait for her near her school and when she walked by, I would wind down my car window and say "Hallo little girl would you like a ride in my big shiny motor and some sweeties" she would jump it the car and off we would go. Yes very naughty, but she always had one of the group of girls with whom she was walking who would assure the other girls that I was her step-father, well eventually she would, she also had a wicked sense of humor. |

It's not even the opera singer that is annoying now but the taxi driver getting overexcited and saying "fantastic" like he's about to wet himself. Ad companies that seem to think having weird characters is a good thing when most sane people think they're annoying. |
