i've just had the misfortune to see the viagra advert.....
now i have empathy that viagra is a good thing for many men and it should be advertised but...it's the guy involved that makes me squirm due to the fact of seemingly wearing socks in bed and possibly during dtd ?? don't get me on the dancing bit either.
but i totally love wilbur in the british gas ads, i WANT A PENGUIN IN A DUFFLE COAT !
so, what if any make you want to throw a brick through the screen or make you stop what you are doing so you can watch ?

Just had to Google it. Very twee. And totally unreasonable to use such an iconic classic song - I'll never be able to hear it again without thinking "erectile dysfunction". Steve Harley deserves better.

The socks - can't get worked up by them.

I suppose the ad makers have done their best - difficult to say what the demographic for Viagra would be!

Hotel Trivago, any of them, the diet Coke ad with the woman who gives us permission to have a diet coke, the Phillip Schofield one with the kitten, the Flash ad with the singing dog,etc etc...the one that really gets me at the moment is one for a kids game with pretend dog shit, makes me feel sick.

The advert makes my skin crawl, socks really make it 100 times worse. The woman doesn't seem interested either.

The shampoo one where the woman whispers it's especially for women over 40 - when she's clearly nearer 60

The fake tan one with 'hidden cameras' that the actress mugs into. It's the stupid look to the left she gives at the end that really annoys me.

Someone's knocking at your door......

"sneaky harvester"

they are blatantly trying to rip off "cheeky nandos" but you can't force slogans like that.

Just awful.

Someone’s knocking at the door, someone’s ringing the bell Angry

Any advert for toothpaste/brushes where it's shown with a lady who has BRIGHT WHITE TEETH talking (well, ventriloquising) to dentist while displaying her BRIGHT WHITE TEETH and then the dentist smiles back while the lady beams with her BRIGHT WHITE TEETH, then she does piece to camera while baring her BRIGHT WHITE TEETH some more and it closes on woman smiling like a deranged serial killer to show her BRIGHT WHITE TEETH.

We get it. It's toothpaste for teeth. Now fuck off.

Hahahaha I hate it too...can't explain it but I just hate the dancing man!

The smug git on the 'Elite Singles' ad makes my toes curl up...
