And if you do that with an open tin, you'll slice your hand open.

And how, *exactly*, can you get a connection in the middle of the ocean? (Unless, of course, you can now get life rafts with an inbuilt WiFi router.)

The Oxo ad. where a young girl brings home 'the most popular girl in school' for tea. Said most popular girl doesn't even make eye contact with the family, young girl is mortified mum is making 'only' meatballs! Most popular girl is sat at the table taking photos of the meal. No eye contact or a word out of her mouth yet. She certainly wouldn't be coming back to my house for a meal.

I don't mean it hatefully. The sign language version is great and I believe we could all learn sign language as part of our schooling. I tried to take classes but so few turned up they cancelled the course.

Sorry, I've digressed.”

I'm not a fan of it either, It's not even funny.

That ad for the newest charity-begging scheme lendwithcare.org...lend a person in the Third World some of your money so they can open a stall in some remote region of Bolivia to sell pineapple juice. And the small print says 'Repayment cannot be guaranteed'....the understatement of the century that one!

It may be bad form to quote yourself but I couldn't resist after today's news. After being gobsmacked by their stance in this latest ad - which i thought at first was for a charity or environmental group - RBS have today been outed for pushing small businesses into bankruptcy in order to increase their bonuses. Responsible or Responsible eh RBS?? Apologies for misspelling but Scaudenfreuder personified 😜😜

I got an email from my bank asking if I've seen their latest overproduced advert. Now I know why my current account pays NAFF ALL interest.

BALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barbara Windsor on that hellish annoying Jackpot Joy advert!

Sooooooooooo annoying.

Also that stupid heart of house ad that's on the break of Loose Women today. 'Unleash your inner smug...' She has the most punchable face on tv at the mo!

And what is she smug about anyway? Her house and all the stuff in it, ain't that special!

There's also another malteaser add with yet another seemingly disabled person discussing performing what appears to be a sexual act on a guy and how having a fit made it comedic.

That one is very OTT. Surprised that was passed.

What the f**k is that music on the latest Argos ad?

Their last ''oh, ohOHohOHOH...'' music was rage-inducing, but this is just intrusive noise. Muted and ignored, every time.

Anything advertising the Postcode Lottery is my current pet hate. Where do they find these people?

On the subject of awful adverts what exactly is a 'strutter'?

Yeah, my son tried switching. His pay went into his new account, but his DD's etc. kept going out of his old one, where there was no money! Bank charges started racking up. It wasn't until he threatened them with the banking ombudsman that they got it sorted.

I had the misfortune to see a bit of one of those talent shows* and there was this girl doing that broken whiny plaintive type voice (while un-playing a guitar if that helps narrow it down) and now I've been told she was famous so does this mean it's spreading beyond the realms of ad-land? Or was this the origin of it? I didn't watch long enough to see what actual show it was though it was definitely modern and in colour.

* not something I generally watch, I was deleting channels to clear space to stop my PVR getting confused and resetting itself, it was fine in the olden days when there was only about 200 of them

The new oxo avert with the girl bringing home the' most popular girl in school' who makes no eye contact and doesnt even look up from her phone, then takes a pic of the meal to let all her friends know that she likes the meal, ignorant little girl.

The Galaxy ad - I never want to hear that awful Moon River song ever again. Another irritation is the edit/cut of the song is very abrupt - shoudn't it cut at the end of the sentence.
Probably gonna get lynched for saying this but I really don't think Audrey Hepburn is or was all that.

Looks like she had a large collection of stolen items, particularly fond of other people's hats

Haven't seen the new Costa Coffee ad, but surely it can't be worse that this monstrosity from 2012:-
