That's exactly the point - can't see why it should puzzle anyone.

Gladstone Brooks You could be owed up to £7000, what they don't say is how much their cut is going to be.

Subway. The guys stood there choosing something to eat as if it's a life or death decision. It's a sandwich FFS.

Yes, that's because you got clinically obese on purpose. It's not funny and it's not healthy.

Well, a McDonalds will make sure your guts don't start the day off well...

It all goes back to the old fear of having to be buried in a pauper's grave, when I was a child, old folk went without food so that they would could leave enough to make sure that wouldn't happen, they were the same about the Workhouse, they starve themselves so that they didn't have to go into a Workhouse.
BTW the last Workhouses closed in 1948, closed by the Labour Government”

My grandmother bought a funeral plan from the Co-op. She had that old-fashioned fear of dying and not leaving enough for a funeral.. These Sun Life type schemes are not worth doing - much better to buy a plan direct from a funeral company. I believe you can get them easy payment plans!

Is that the one where she says she saw her son "literally disintenegrate/decompose" (I can't remember which one) in front of her?

I wonder if she's aware of what the word "literally" means.

It's kind of old now but that Flintstones ad (for Halifax I think?) is terrible. It looks so cheap and is so poorly executed.

All of the Maltesers advert, terrible acting in all of them. The worst though had to be with the woman who crushes the brides foot but it's ok she got the best mans number, such bad acting from her and the woman who says "you are so naughty" or something like that afterwards.

too many great and classic tunes are being ruined by sticking an ad on them - I blame Sun Pat and their dancing raisins to 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' - I shall never forgive them for ruining a Motown classic

It's shocking (surely!) to see an overweight man being used in a KFC (I think it was) advert! True he was sat with two skinny people, but still!

They usually only use skinny people in those ads, but there he was, a tubby man sat at a table between 2 skinny people.

Shock! Horror!

Nope, certainly McDonalds, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5mF4G2DJGc

The tag line is "our breakfast is freshly prepared, even if you're not" which makes absolutely no sense.

There are very few adverts that I like, most I simply ignore, a few tempt me to bad language but only the Moneysupermarket adverts and particularly the latest "Epic Squads" version actually make me change channel.

In the last hour or so, during the Paralympics, an advert for Safe Hands funeral plans has been on five times. Down a shot every time the daughter says "dad", you'll be pissed before the advert's finished. She says it at the end of nearly every sentence.

Ah yes, but female bonding really is the name of the game in all their uniformly awful adverts, presenting situations that women can relate to and therefore ... err.. buy Maltesers

The worst I think (and that's really saying something) is the one where the actress portraying a deaf woman explains to the actress pretending to be her friend that a dog has hilariously swallowed her hearing aid and she will get it back "tomorrow", presumably when the dog defecates and its owner goes through the result to find and subsequently return said hearing aid.

I'm trying to figure out who should be most offended by this, but it's probably deaf women who are portrayed as so stupid that they would even consider lodging something which has been dug out of dog s*it into their ear, never mind how it had been washed / sterilised.

Mind you, it does tell us where they find the ideas for these adverts.

It's a bloody terrible ad. Everything about it makes you want to bury the person who created it.

This is way more stupid.

Why is he wearing womens stilettos? Why does he have such a big arse? What's going on with his face?

It's mentally retarded.

The Tesco ads continue to be uncomfortable, with the obnoxious wife. Who is this meant to appeal to?

I thought they were actually deaf as the ad was for the Paralympics but could be wrong?
Daft ad though as I couldnt decipher what they meant
