Ikea, it's very forced I think.

It would be, that's the only way to make the shelves fit.

Here's the Channel 4 Top 100 TV ads full list:-

Even though the Strand cigerette ad killed off the Strand brand, the music used in the background was very popular and the songwriter (Cliff Adams) created a 3 minute version to be released as a single.

Cliff went on to be Britain's foremost jingle writer and advert song writer, coming up with the following:-

The Milk Tray theme tune
The Frys Turkish Delight song
For Mash get Smash jingle
Murray Mints, too good to hurry jingle

Plus many, many more over the years.

However his most famous one may just be the Milky Bar Kid song, which in later years Adams would joke that he could retire off the royalty payments from this tune alone, given how often and for how many years the campaign ran.

Also another interesting side note about the failed Strand brand of cigarettes. The biggest problem was the tag line 'You're never alone with a Strand', however market research at the time found that most people remembered the tag as 'You're always alone with a Strand'.

After 3-4 years the brand was killed off and rebranded as Embassy. In the first Embassy advert there was a lonely man at a party who was being ignored, so he starts to hand out Embassy cigarettes and lo and behold he is suddenly the most popular person at the party. Thus Embassy went on to become the biggest selling cigarette brand of the 1960's.

That stupid Vax advert with the nasty kids. Yeah lets just drop a full ice cream and throw a bowl of strawberries on the floor and then piss off outside so kids mother can clean it up.

If looks could kill she would be up for murder horrible little shits.

Haha, reminds me of a previous one for a floor cleaning product I think, where the mom just finished cleaning the floors to a shine when the kids burst through with muddy boots and filthy dog in tow, and she just smiles, shaking her head gently as if to say, "ooh, you silly kids." In real life she'd been shouting multiple obscenities at them while they dodged her house slippers being flung at them.

When are the ASA going to force Duracell to compare their batteries with other Alkaline batteries rather than Zinc ones? Bit like comparing a Ferrari to a Fiesta. Every one knows the Ferrari will leave the Fiesta for dust. But a Ferrari against a Lamborghini would be a fairer comparison (well, not one of these Lamborghini's obviously http://www.lamborghini-tractors.com/en-eu/ )

I can understand why Duracell do it as saying "lasts as long as any other alkaline battery" doesn't quite have the ring of "lasts ten times longer than other batteries". And I note they leave out the reference to Zinc batteries in the final tag line hoping the punters will forget that they mentioned them earlier in the ad and think it applies to any type of battery.

Apparently according to the Match.com advert "thousands of singles are joining Match.com every day", then they show a lesbian couple stripping to their underwear
The tagline is "Love your imperfections", what does one person find imperfect about themselves? Are they confusing the site with Tinder now?

The Surf advert gets right on my nerves.

I've finally figured out what bugged me about the trivago woman and the 'have you not done your ppi' man, even when on mute - the movement and stance just seem 'off', in a sort of not-quite-natural movement sense, presumably so they fit in the part of the frame that's not full of logos or something.


Because they are advertising to overly-optimistic men.

Along those lines why do adverts for floor cleaners always have kitchen floors that look like a herd of cows have spent the night in there? I mean every inch of floor space is covered in grime in an otherwise spotless house!

Its the same when they show bathroom cleaners. The bath is in such a state you would have through they used it to grow tomatoes ... not wash !!!

Damn it, I had a feeling something wasn't quite right but when you live on your own there's nobody to point out the little mistakes. The bathroom is colder and draughtier than the greenhouse but at least the neighbours might stop complaining.

The beans advert where they're all having a communal sing a long or whatever they are doing - uuurrgggh!

Today, during The Chase I saw the new SCS advert which mentions "Christmas" delivery - for heaven's sake it's 15 weeks away - even I could build and deliver a sofa in that time.

Fact is they'll be saying the same thing 4 week before the perishing "big day".

Ugh, I've never liked it when they refer to it as the "big day" - Christmas to me is the time from Christmas Eve through til New Years Eve. The emphasis on just one day ruins it, seems so anti-climatic by about 7pm!

Just seen the ad for Kinder Choco Bon and wondering why they're been marketed at women only. I like chocolate, and so do all my hairy arse bloke mates! What gives?!

I suppose it's a common advertising technique to show the before picture as bad as possible. Beauty products are like this too. They show a woman with unbrushed hair, no makeup, looking quite sad, bad lighting, and the after image she could be a cover girl model! It's like geez, get a comb, turn on the lights and smile fgs!

Moooooon riverrrrr


It's such a blatant and shameless attempt to shoe horn sex appeal into an ad. Obviously aimed at lonely single men. I'm not sure how it got approved to be honest - first time I saw it I laughed as it was so outright and ridiculous.

Another dating ad that irritates me is Elite singles - for snobs who don't want to date the hoi polloi.

I've wondered that about Elite Singles - is there like a screening process or something where your judged on how sufficiently elite you are? Do you have to enter your post code or salary on the application?

The girl on the Oral B advert that was just on (on the break of Bridget Jones on ITV2,) has an ugly stupid looking mouth and ridiculous teeth.

Hideous. Annoying ad.

the dental adverts are all annoying generally and have the opposite intended affect on me - sometimes- sh sh sh - I go to bed without brushing my teeth.....sh sh sh

the ad that's getting to me at the moment is the one for Audi cars driving through a Harrods-type department store with the soundtrack of the lift telling you what's on each floor - blatent rip-off of Are You Being Served

Voltorol new balls please ? Why does he say it as though he's just been hit in said area

Clearscore need to just stop making adverts.

can someone please explain what Uncle Ben's rice has to do with the classic track that is Peter Frampton's ''Show Me The Way''

I love the cat "miinneeee".
