On a serious note, I love that ad also, especially the bit near the end where he does what he does with his eyes.

The worst ad on TV must be the shreddies ad.
The idea of a load of incontintent grannies who probably smell of pee mauling every little shreddie before it gets to your bowl is enough to turn you off the stuff forever.
My least favourite from yesteryear is:
"Do the shake n vac and put the freshness back, do the shake n vac and put the freshness back, your carpet smells ........aaarrrrrgghhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!"

Ah no I love it, especially when one of them starts letching after the "hot" inspector dude! But your reaction is amazing, you must actually eat the stuff to associate so strongly with it? lol

Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...
Listening to the radio this morning I realised that the ad that drivers me more insane than any other at the moment is the one for the Halifax credit card. You know the one where they keep sayiny "Oh, flip, oh, flip...." etc.
That part is bad enough but the bit at the end when that sanctimonious git says, "Watch your language, Pat. This is a place of work." drives me to despair!
And to totally kill me off, if you listen carefully, he lets out one word and actually says "This a place of work"
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really hate the poo at Paul's ad, more than any ad I have ever come across. Put me right off my tea one evening as I watched the news. lol
Full marks to Guinness for years of consistently brilliant ads, Specsavers I'd have to agree have been really strong of late too.

Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...
A new ad I heard today which gets my goat......
TodayFM are sponsoring a concert in October at the O2 for some band called....
"span-du ballet".....the horrid pronounciation is repeated more than once in the ad!
Wonder who "span-du ballet" are, a tribute to the great 80s band "Spandau Ballet" perhaps..?!

I heard that too! Everytime she said it I was shouting at the radio. Surely someone involved with making the end would have heard of the band and known how to pronounce it.

Re the "span-du ballet" ad.....someone must have had words with TodayFM (or TodayFM read AAM!).
I heard the advert again today, and it's been re-recorded with the correct pronounciation!
Or maybe "spandu ballet" couldn't make the gig, and Spandau Ballet are turning up instead!!
