    I like that advert too! I think it's for Tesco Direct (a catalogue which is quite like the argos catalogue I think).

    At the moment I hate food advertising, I feel like it's trying to mess with my head.

    The question should be "which one's do you like" cos the vast majority of them are balls.

    How about ALL insurance adverts? :)

    Other countries I have visited, often seem to have so many more eye (and 'ear') catching adverts, often with real humour, while British adverts are generally unfunny, uninspirational and a real excuse to leave the room and put on the kettle.

    The Polo advert with the dog has been banned btw. Just thought I'd mention it.

    I agree with scrote. I remember when adverts used to be good, and had a bit of effort put into it. Nowadays, only Guinness seem to care.

    Why has it been banned?? I loved that advert :(

    ETA: Just Googled it, and found it's because people have phoned in with concerns that the dog was shaking/whimpering because it had been badly treated and was scared. To be honest, I can't really believe that that's the case. My boyfriend's dog shakes when he's overexcited...like when someone says the word "walk" or he hears his dinner bowl being picked up. Surely they wouldn't have put a dog in the advert that was shaking cos it was so terrified?

    I do agree with some comments I saw when Googling though, that dogs should be in the rear of the car when travelling.

    Awww I loved the dog singing! I did worry about him cos he looked like he was having a mini-fit! But I assumed that they didn't induce a fit just for the advert and that he was probably ok!

    ETA: the dog was a trained 'actor' (he was in a mask film) and he could shake and do other things on command. His stunt double wasn't as good so he had to go on a motorised plate that jiggled him

    Let's see, I think the one I hate the most is the latest Dairy Milk advert with those carts racing each other to "Don't Stop me Now" by Queen. What does that, or the slogan have to do with chocolate? It's like that shitty drumming gorilla advert, they're just trying to capitalise on very famous, well written songs. Honestly, take away the music and it's codswallop.

    Also, I hate the picture loans advert. In one you've got some silly fish wife following her husband round with a camera while he swoons "Really? Oh that's much less than we're paying now!". And another one with a geordie woman yelling "I've found your scooter!" in a Geordie accent.

    And the last Guiness advert with the dominos was pretty lame tbh. I expect far better from them.

    Churchill, Picture, Flake, and the bloody Moonpig one. Pretty much any ad they put on during GMTV in the morning :grump:

    confused.com adverts - all the people on their adverts are idiots, they all look like they should be annoying kids tv presenters or something
    Iceland with kerry katona - like she needs to buy frozen crap for £1
    Any antiaging advert full of magic ingridients we've never heard of, especially the one with the american actress who does l'oreal ones.
    Churchill - don't get me started
    Cadbury trying to be original with their off the wall adverts that have fuck all to do with chocolate

    Anything for diarrhea, constipation or any other condition you don't want to hear about. Especially that smug look the woman (it's always a woman) always has on her face afterwards, as if to say "I've just banged out a massive shit, and it felt great." Not at dinner time, please.

    I agree with so many mentioned in this thread. I HATE the new Flake one with Joss Stone, that girl needs a slap.
    The "we need to fly to Barcelona" one wouldn't be so bad, if it wasn't for the woman's voice when she says "as soon as possible" AAARGH it makes me itch.
    And yeah, the Glade one with the kid on the toilet :mad: Why does he even have a notepad and pen in the bog with him?!! Grrrr
