Why on earth would the makers of the Harvester advert think it would improve it by adding in another dreadful child ?

Because they are obviously high

I have to mute the Go Compare advert. They've gone from annoying, to shit, to annoying and shit.

I also have to mute that advert about shoes (can't remember specifically what it's for) where it's the two women looking at the computer screen saying shit like "do it again girl!" and "oh no they didn't!" It actually makes me so, so stabby.

Oh, and the Perle de Lait (or whatever it's called) where the girl eats some yogurt and it straightens her hair. Fucking magic yogurt.

I watch far too much telly.

I hate ALL EHarmony adverts! The body language is so over the top and doesn't fit with what the (obvious) actor is saying. Oh and the Sky Go adverts...'so, me and me mate were fishing...'

The new Go Compare ads actually make me smile...guilty pleasure.

It's specifically the bit where the guy on the keyboard goes "just got chills" that makes me want to throw something large and heavy at the screen.

What the fuck is Al Pacino doing on a Sky advert, it's not like he needs the money ffs. I'm angry and disappointed.

Now that made me laugh Futterby...step away from the large and heavy objects!

I think the general concensus is that Sky definitely need a new agency.

The WORST advert I've ever seen has to go to the new meerkat one where Robert Webb and Meerkat are playing the piano and singing that god awful song and it goes on forever! I turn the tv over when that comes on it makes me v stabby.

Don't forget bloody Kate in the bloody nice and easy Clairol hair dye advert. It's the teeth itchingly smug one with the 'husband' twatting on about how after a house move, two newborns (WTF) Kate still looks "well, like Kate!" Hoo-bloody-rah. There have been threads purely dedicated to this advert iirc. Grin

Oh and the Galaxy adverts where the girl finds her hidden chocolate in a box under her bed. She looks like some sort of weird girl / moth hybrid

All those new car ones where there's not another car on the road (they've been doing that for so long you'd think they might realise that a new car doesn't REMOVE all the other cars from the roads ;it's ANOTHER effing car FGS!!!!!!)

Totally the wrong thread for this comment but not worth starting a new one ... in my house we REJOICE at the slightly subversive adverts that seem all nicey nicey but does anyone actually LISTEN to them properly ...
We've had "half price ladyboy sofas" at DFS
"Monkey Street" at Morrisons
and our current fave, the Boots advert - "half price holiday bollocks"
I swear to god. Listen. They are laughing in our faces, people!!!

The Ask Victor one with the man in drag

The hair dye one with the Big Brother presenter who I think is too old and doesn't have sufficiently high forehead for a fringe

The Jessica Ennis and other Olympic/sports people giving you another 1% if someone gets lucky at golf.
