"We are the masters of tv"

No your not your a stupid little child!

Its about time children realised the adults rule the household not the kids.

That ad was highlighted in a Digital Spy article recently.

The Grattan ad with the music that is basically an obvious, blatant copy of The Rembrandts' song, and Friends theme tune, I'll Be There For You, with one or two subtle changes.

I don't know who does the voiceover for the Vax ad but she sounds like Fearne Cotton's heavy smoking sister. My ears hurt.

"That's Amore"

Does that annoying voice really say "The boot's stellar?"
OMG, talk about manufacturing and forcing rhymes!
An atrocious advert yet again and with the repetition, one that has again ruined an old song that I really used to like!

'Literally' is used all the time and hardly anyone seems to know what it means, literally! To watch someone disintegrate literally in front of you would be the stuff of horror films.

Another overused word is 'iconic'. And while I'm having a moan, why does every other person start a sentence with 'So'? And I can't even think about 'like', overused in the extreme. I was like and he was like.......... Oh, and everything is 'amazing', much used by Kate 'umble and her ilk.

Grouch, grouch.............

I absolutely hate hearing the word "Amazing" now....you cannot watch TV these days without hearing it at least once a minute!
I hate "Smashed it" too, and all those other awful celeb inspired crap words, like "Amazeballs" and fusing two names or concepts together to make a new word.

Most of all I hate those "Money Supermarket" ads. They make me want to vomit!

One set of ads that are grating on me right now are the cancer research scrounging ads.

Full of people having treatment and telling their cancer stories. "Love you. Thanks for being here...." *VOM*

How much more money does cancer research need?

I reckon they found a cure for cancer years ago, but admitting it would mean their funding would cease.

Spot on, far too much of a money spinner. More breakthroughs have been made by government funded research than CRUK.

I agree. yes, I am aware it's a serious disease having watched 2 relatives go through it. But they're a big charity who get a lot of money. I'm more likely to want to give money to much smaller charities. Especially ones that doesn't guilt trip me by saying "but it's only £2 a month, which is less than a cup of coffee" or whatever rubbish they spout.

I've seen those before. They really are absolute gems from the past and so refreshingly non-pc!

Jimmy Choo make up to size 9 heeled shoes and this place stocks heeled shoes to size 13!

Oh. Well it needs removing. Better still, remove the entire advert!

“As for the face, one can only assume, that unfortunate though it is, he was born with it.”

I meant the silly face contortions.

“What is the thing the builder does with the finger under the nose?”

Maybe picking it?

Bib is spot on and yes it makes me feel queasy. It's not even slightly funny, it conveys no message at all, and it's not clever.

"As a woman I can step aside or step up my game"

Doesn't make sense to me. Who said women couldn't be DJs when it is their time of month?

And it's on every single ad break - I'm poised with the remote control, finger hovering on the mute button

Poor things must be really struggling. They're the only band to have a No.1 record written by each individual member.

Another expression is 'nailed it', much beloved of Simon Cowell and his ilk. As for Money Supermarket, I wish there was a more extreme word than 'grotesque' as that would apply.
