  • I've got another one: Diet Coke sponsoring ITVBe, with the soppy girls swooning over some good looking bloke. (or maybe it's me being jealous).

    The kitchen one, narrated by Martin Clunes where he says something along the lines of "re-defining the role of the kitchen" - er, what?

    Any perfume one that is just a cut and paste of attractive people doing random things (running from people, smashing through a wall, climbing a rope) that's supposed to signify you smelling nice.

    My favourite ad of all time has to be this one:

    The mind boggles. Does he sleep in it? Does he ---- in it?

    MuffinTops - this probably belongs on a different forum but why haven't you used your savings to eliminate the credit card debt?

    My pet hate is spotting the same actor/actress being recycled in multiple ads. There is one with a mature couple promoting equity release and later she is promoting a cruise (probably courtesy of her equity release).

    Really annoys me when I remember the actress/actor but not which previous ad they were in.

    As my OH would say 'Calm down dear ,you do know that it's only an ad'

    what was it that Ted Bovis said in Hi Di Hi, all entertainment has to have a basis in reality.

    Hi Malthusian,
    Credit card is 0% and savings are earning 3% and 5% in various accounts.

    Although not strictly an advert for McCains, the advert breaks during Emmerdale that feature families with the same name as the cast of the soap really are really annoying.
