Be warned. You can never un-see this.

Possibly the worst ad I have seen this year. Just seen it on 5 USA in the break of Columbo.

Commentator says "2 months after starting diet chef, Cheryl meets her former self..."

New Cheryl talking to old Cheryl (who's looking at an old pic of her all slim and trim...) "You can look that good again you know!"

Old Cheryl - fighting back the tears.... "why did we wait so long?"

Painfully bad. As if ANY diet would make much of a difference in 8 weeks. Any any diet that DOES make you lose a lot in 8 weeks, needs to be binned anyway.

Must have the before woman dress in a slightly frumpy manner and no make up.
When women go on tv they never want to look their best if they are slightly overweight.
In comes new her and her hairs done plus nice clothes.

I'm questioning if the before woman isn't wearing a fat suit.

hey that's it, "I'm not fat, just wearing a fat-suit" better than "I'm not over weight, I'm just under tall", great I'll use that one

The smug James Cordon, as posted earlier, I avoid his programmes but now he's on adverts as well.
Love the T Rex song on that ad though.

I actually like James Cordon! But there again, I like spiders and ironing, so I must be weird.

There were so many negative comments about these ads on their Facebook page that they took them down and now you aren't able to comment on the various videos (the one on TV is apparently meant to be the 'best' of the ones they shot) on YouTube. The ads are insulting, especially when you consider "Cheryl" only had a stone to lose yet she couldn't wash her hair, dress in clean clothes and put on makeup...

He's annoying wherever he goes
Have you seen him review the newspapers?
Over excited and laughing at every other word
I'm sure he's a nice fellow, but in very small doses!

Plus having something stuffed up her top

Yet ... she still has her double chin

I like James Corden but the Confused,Com ad and the green lights drives me mad!

Even if the light stayed at red he does not have enough stopping time so would go through anyway.

Those Mr Kipling adverts with people who are angry about something suddenly idiotically fawning over a cake annoy me.

Can I nominate 'The Jeremy Kyle Show' as every morning it seems like nothing more than an hour-long ad for Facebook.

No thankyou; I have no desire to see him do anything, ever.

I'd tend to agree, James Corden as a presenter is fine.

However I find his comical acting to be (a little) wooden, not terrible, just wooden. And as a VO artist for adverts just terrible.

I seriously hope he is doing the old English star thing of accepting almost anything & everything in order to build up a nestegg for the rest of his life, and once he hits his target he will become far more selective about what he does. Just like Michael Caine and the late Bob Hoskins did.

Hoskins & Caine worked their a**es off and then in their 40's were able to just work on projects they wanted to be involved in, giving them complete creative freedom.

I'm sick to death of BT's TV ads for seemingly never ending sales!
Spring sale, Winter sale, Summer sale, 10 day sale blah blah blah....

I also think it devalues their brand as some kind of bargain basement shed.
So tiresome!

Maybe that's the way.
Forget the useless asa.If an ad offends or just annoys you then go complain on their Facebook page and tw*tter.

Although be careful how you complain on tw*tter. You'll probably get the ban.

Any advert that has a slow, dreary, almost spoken version of an upbeat classic as its soundtrack.

I really wish advertising agencies would get as bored with this as I am.

I hate the Flash adverts with the dog pretending to sing that stupid theme tune to Flash Gordon.

Any advert selling sofas or furniture to gormless looking couples.

That'll be Nouvelle Vague's interpretations of classic songs like the Buzzcock's 'Ever Fallen In Love' - they replace the energy of the original with a 21st Century simpering wanky version:

What does he even say at the beginning?

I gather he's trying to say something like ''Smooth mooooove, Akabusi in the room'', but it comes out as ''Smooth moooove, Akabusi ennna hoooo! Hahahahaha''

I quite like a lot of the shows on Dave but am so fed up with the trailers featuring that d***head and his daily mishaps (backed by a nice old Hermann and the Hermits song) being shown at least once, sometimes twice, in every ad break that I'll be avoiding the channel for the foreseeable future.

Do they really, really not realise how annoying and counter-productive excessive repetition is? I refer you to Nick Grey and his GTech bloody Airram and rest my case.

Totally agree mivi, all the life has been sucked out of a great song.

On the plus side, I've discovered adturds.co.uk thanks to you!!
