There's one where a girl with a heavy American accent is extolling the virtues of either a laptop or a tablet (might even be one of the modern combination units - I can't remember) but her drawl, coupled with the fact that she barely opens her mouth to speak, means that she witters on for 30 seconds or so and at the end you haven't got a frigging clue what she was on about!

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.

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. |

As someone who only suffers from selective deafness, I did need the subtitles though only up until the point that they stopped - and the actions/gestures were abundantly clear after that, and there was definitely no suggestion that the aforementioned hearing aid would be going anywhere near anyone's ears. There's also the point that for a visual gag, people who aren't used to subtitles (there is most definitely a knack, I admit I often have to hit rewind) are likely to miss the humour. If you've ever watched a sign-language conversation, there are often exchanges which to a non-expert (like me) do look very much like they are not specified anywhere in the official dictionary, or are at best modern slang additions... |

That sponsorship message with Queen in it. "Magic, Magic, Magiiiiiiic " drives me up the wall.

It also sounds like the audio is lifted from episodes of the 50's show rather than it being a new recording.

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.

I think you are on the wrong forum, but I have to agree with you. |

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. He has such big arse because, if you steel yourself to look closely, it's padding. As for the face, one can only assume, that unfortunate though it is, he was born with it. What is the thing the builder does with the finger under the nose? The whole thing is more like some bizarre courtship ritual than an advert and makes me feel decidedly queasy |

I've not been on this thread for a bit so apologies if this has been covered but I've just seen a Maltesers ad where a lass in a wheelchair is telling her mates how she had a spasm and accidentally wanked her boyfriend off
