James Martin's stuffed layered loaf looks disgusting in that Asda ad.
And is he so short of things to do that he's got to waste half a Sunday making lunch for someone else and then have to take it over to them because they can't frigging wait for it?

I can't work out how you would go about eating that to replace a sandwich
Or any meal.

Direct Line and their 22 year-old reference to Pulp Fiction in the 'Winston Wolf' character. Ugh. Hate the way he tells the person what they've done, too. "You were on the way to a hen party when you got hit in your car" etc.
I'm still amazed that Tarantino sold his soul to let that happen. I thought he had more conscience than that.

The latest Lidl advert with the townie girl and the Scoooots cattle farmer. He claims that he bred all the cattle himself and that they are 'local'. Everybody knows that beef cattle that colour invariably originated from Continental breeds, namely Limousin, Simmental and Charolais. The most popular beef breeds which originated in Scotland are the black Aberdeen Angus, the black and white Belted Galloway and the very woolly Highland.

I wonder if the rights to the Pulp Fiction story (and thus characters) is copyright of Miramax? It is highly likely as it was Tarantino's second film & his first as a mainstream director/writer.

I sure that all of Tarantino's newer movies he keeps the character rights, but Pulp Fiction might of been too soon for Tarantino to get these rights.

Edit - Just checked an article from the Advertising trade paper 'Campaign' and it clearly states:-

"Evans claimed the use of the 'fixer' character – used with the permission of 'Pulp Fiction' director Quentin Tarantino – is the 'perfect metaphor' to illustrate its intention to remove the hassle from customers’ lives."

So Tarantino must own the character rights. I wonder if Tarantino is getting any money, or is he - kind of - helping out his friend Harvey Keitel?

Leaving aside the unspeakable horror of anything produced by Moneysupermarket (the latest one with the man with the huge bottom and the builder makes me feel quite queasy) I think my current nominee is Samsung whose commercials feature some annoying beardy idiot. I think in the latest one he is with Steve Redgrave. Absolutely hate this guy - the beardy bloke not Sir Steve.

It's a bizarre situation. And I'm surprised at nearly 80, Keitel needs a leg-up in his career. I know Youth was mostly deadly dull, but still...

Oh ffs, its a fictional character, get a grip.
Ooh, hark at her! It cheapens the character, you big girl.

That diet chef ad. I know others have posted about it
she's so fat (she isn't really). Cant even apply makeup or wash her hair, Has to be one of the most insulting adverts in a long time.

And the new Harvey's Advert. apparently buying a sofa now is just as live changing as winning the lottery. If anyone acted like that within store men in white coats would be called.

Yeah, well that'll happen if you don't stop eating and end up on the road to Type II Diabetes!

Agreed. The voice gives you the dry heaves as well. I loath the man.

The Boots hearing aid advert with the atrocious ska version of `Everybody's Free` and the bloke who says "My grandaughter said `Grandad, that telly's very loud` and it was very loud."

If he knew that, he can't be going deaf!

You do realise that he would have seen the display showing the volume level when he turned it up?

Asda / George with the little girl falling for her mother's 'won't school and life from now on be exciting' rhetoric.

FGS she is there to save lives !!!

"Because im a woman do you think im going to crack under pressure?"

Yes you are you attitude problem woman!

Came here to rant about this. I watch 4OD a lot and this advert is on constant loop.

I just don't understand it at all, perhaps that's because I'm a man, but WTF do fanny pads have to do with "cracking under pressure" or being able to "Conquer the field"?

Listen you daft cow, you can "conquer the field" all you want but I've got no idea what you and your croydon facelift are actually banging on about... Do fanny pads miraculously improve your football skills? What "pressure" are you talking about - you're a (probably fake) football 'player'?

You're on the rag love, get over it. You're asking me if I think you're going to crack under pressure because your a woman and then prattle on about scanny pads - WTF? To be honest the answer to your question is actually Yes. I do think you're going to crack under pressure "because your a woman" because that's basically what you're implying - take away the fanny pad and you're royally buggered aren't you? (especially in those white shorts - that was a poor decision when you're on the rag wasn't it).

"Because I'm a woman, do you think I'm going to crack under pressure? Here, look at these fanny pads, look at them, that's right fanny pads, I'm not cracking under pressure am I? Because I'm a woman. Conquer the field. Fanny pads!"

It's the most bizarre advert ever
