what's with that shaving ad where the guy goes around the world in 5 weeks but only needs one razor. first of all, people who do "around the world in 5 weeks" are neckbeards, no doubt about it. secondly, who are you selling this shit to!?

how about those "Men at Work" commercials, where they're all standing against a blank set, "we could pretend this is a set" like they're some fuckin horrible improv troupe. "I'm chatting up only one lady...but she's the most beautiful lady in the room". "THAT'S MY MOM!!" "IM AT A BAR WITH MOM!" buuuurn, baby!! LOL

has anyone ever described their teeth as "squeaking clean".

Not until that fucking advert, no. Could it be based on a "kiss this guy" style mishearing of "squeaky clean" by the creative responsible?

Been back in the UK for four weeks now and 'creamy but low in fat' is the most punchable ad ever made, even more than the Choo Choo Choo Trainline one.

Since that "She's always a woman" ad where a girl goes through all her life until she's a grandma.
Not nomming that one, that's pretty good. But: This ad would not work 'as is' for a guy, he needs some sort of 'achievement' or a different twist on the tale. (I did see a similar one to the first from a guy pov, shown once, can't remember the details, anyway..)
Eventually, a guy one, where the POV is of the daughter growing up, and even though the mum is around it's all the guy's pov (carrying upstairs a sleeping girl, inflating her swilling armbands, etc) until she leaves home for College in the VW her dad bought for her.
Not that one either..
It was the one I saw yesterday. National lottery.
An old woman looks back at how she used to be a brilliant runner but the war intervened and she had to go to work instead, a brief bit of her getting married and having kids, eventually the daughter (or granddaughter it must be it all went a bit quickly) is seen just about to start the race in the Olympics. It's supposed to be uplifting and how the lottery grant committee helps to fulfil ambitions. So why did it seem so depressing in the end?
Did anyone see this one? What kind of tree am I barking up here?

God yeah, I hate that one - there's nothing uplifting about having your dreams shattered but being all benign about it because someone else gets to do it for you 60 years later. There's one for a lawyer firm that's like that too, where some woman is burying her husband but it's all OK because a pregnant stranger smiles at her.

I thought this revive would be about the John Lewis advert. Who thought that was a good idea? (Actually, much fun can be had from being with people seeing it for the first time and trying to guess what it's advertising.)
Current biggest hate is the Philidelphia one where Mum is going to be back late so Dad makes chicken wrapped in bacon - it genuinely looks like it was made by the losing team on an Apprentice task.
During the Olympics I hated the Victoria Pendleton one for Pantene or whatever it was. "Helps me win as an athlete and shine like a woman." Putting to one side the casual sexism, I can't have been the only one that continued with "NO PARTICULAR WOMAN", can I?
