Still hate the Navy advert that starts with a kid "fixing" a skate board then progressing on to a bike, a car and a Royal Navy ship, helicopter & advanced electronic systems.
I only hate it because it's been made by people with no engineering knowledge!
The guys "fixes" a bike using a large ratchet spanner on the rear axle. As he tightens the nut (which is non existent as its quick release!) the producers have added a clicking ratchet noise (which they also did on the skateboard too). This only happens when you're not tightening/loosening anything at all. The spanner itself also looks massively oversized for the alleged he's tightening. On top of this they show the pedals on the bike being in totally the wrong alignment to have been "fixed"!
Then they show him fixing a car, which he then starts up. Miraculously he manages to start the car and rev it presumably by telepathy as when the car "starts" he has one hand on the wheel & one hand on the door. Who turned the key?!

The Dad is Jeremy Swift, I recognise him from being Barry in "The Smoking Room" , more recently he was in Downton Abbey.
And he played yet another aloof manservant in The Durrells. (I can't watch this ad. I just can't cope with some kid discussing intimate bottom problems with the snooty Spratt! Seriously though, it's a bit of a crap ad anyway? Who would talk to their dad in that patronising way? Do the advertisers think that being a 40+ dad automatically turns you into an slow-witted luddite ignoramus?!)

The ASA, apparently. But what are you objecting to exactly? The portrayal of women or of men?

The guy who advertises his Gtech Air Ram vaccuum cleaner, amongst other spurious gadgets. I certainly know where I'd stick the hose! He has he most boring voice I've ever heard.

Imagine if the sexes were reversed. Shock horror and alarums.

Also Nationwide's rambling poem adverts that go on forever. Dreadful and muted/channel changed when they come on
I despise every single thing about the Nationwide advert.

It's pretentious and tedious.

I can't stand the way the guy pronounces most of the words and overemphasizes others.

I can't stand the stupid expressions he's pulling and the painfully am-dram acting he's doing as part of his delivery.

It's just an appalling advert and totally off-putting.

Natwest: This is what we do
Just a terrible ad that makes it look like anything but a bank. In fact I think the BBC had similar taglines 15-20 years ago "You make it what it is" and possibly also "This is what we do"

Which is why you have to imagine the sexes reversed because no-one would make that advert that way.

I dont like the advert with William Devane for the free gold coin buyers book.
It's the way he says vat instead of v.a.t. and keeps calling us Brits.
The advert and book is made to look like it is sophisticated and then he speaks like an American stereotype.
Unless he's playing Greg Sumner again.

Because if he is then I suddenly like the advert.

Apologies if this already been mentioned, and that it is slightly off topic, being neither the best nor the worst ad about at the moment, but could anyone tell me where I've seen the actress before who appears at the end of the new George Clooney/Ian McShane Nespresso ad? It is driving me up the wall.

I agree- you'd have no idea what Natwest actually does from that ad.

Also, if I see one more ad-on TV, online or on billboards - for the Sky Atlantic "Westworld" I will scream! I can't recall any TV show getting such non-stop hype!

Add my name to the Apple Music ad, cringeworthily unfunny and disrespectful to the name of David Bowie to have James flippin Corden to dress up as him.

The Go Compare "Fantastic" ads.

Bad enough with the stereotypical toffs on horses or the taxi driver creaming himself over the opera singer.

Now they've sent the taxi driver on holiday to encounter the opera singer again and get excited all over again.

Also just seen the new one with 2 blokes playing snooker and it ending with them doing some annoying dance with the opera bloke.

I seem to recall a fair amount of coverage for 'Game of Thrones'

Some make up advert in which a woman claims when she puts on the concealer she feels like she 'can conquer the world'.

Along the same lines the Boots advert - seems to be a beauty festival three girls talking about eyebrows and how someone once asked what was wrong with her eyebrows - applies some eyebrow make up and says wow that's better - my thoughts are erm... Wtf is actually wrong with your eyebrows. Horrible girl.

Bloody DETEST those cretinous Nationwide ads!!!! Aaarrggghhhhh! (insert all your favourite expletives here). DETEST all three of them that I've seen.

Some woman yakking on (I thought that one was an ad for a cancer charity - but NOPE), the guy on the steps reciting his street poem (tedious), and the worst of the three, the guy in a coffee shop (Overacting Central.com - plus what the hell IS he on about?)

Who thought these ads up?

I love these ads, they are just such fun.

Not seen the Apple ads yet but anything with James Corden is gross.
