Worst TV adverts of the moment

hell yeah! but she'd have to have the manly man power-tool salesdude making untoward comments and trying to scam her into buying something more expensive.

It's not so much the ad itself which annoys me but the fact that they're doing another one with...wait for it...Johnny Vaughan. Unfortunately I suspect he won't the one who gets hit by the car, followed by the slogan "Should Have Happened Ten Years Ago."

Oral B Brush Ups - Rip, Slip, Brush....ARGH!

I don't understand it, he's obviously on the verge of some kind of breakdown, and no wonder being in a job like that just so he can afford the car? I bet he's driving home to attach a hose pipe to his exhaust and end it all.

KILL ME NOW

No, this is genius!

Haha those Michael Winner ads have gone beyond the annoyance horizon and now I just chuckle weakly and sip more gin.

last night, i was laughing out loud because it was like they'd set up the commercials just to make toby swear at the screen (1st the levis gang/shakespeare ad, 2nd the san miguel 'you know ines de cortes?!' ad, 3rd the toyota 'he stole my car!!' ad, and followed up by the orange board with daryl hannah 'you're a idiot')

i said that was such a bad sign that we should just leave before the movie started (especially when they previewed 9 songs again. ugh). i was right, turns out.

HI! BARRY SCOTT HERE!

Sillit Bang adverts are accidentally terrible or purposefully awful.

Bet it has a catalytic converter, thereby rumbling his game.

However, I find the Joanna Lumley "You don't have to be posh to be privileged" the most hillarious at all. The amusement never wears off, no matter how many times I see them. (Though I'm glad that there's another in the series now.)

Everyone, quite, rightly has been mentioning their hatred for Johnny Vaughan's hateful smugness, but, unless I've missed it, nobody's missed the ad's where he takes that to it's logical extreme. Yes, the Nuts adverts! Some busty blonde babe haplessly tries to change a tyre, while her ordinary bloke boyf is engrossed in a copy of Nuts. To make things worse, Vaughan pipes up in the most condescending voice possible and scoffs, "Women, don't expect any help on a Thursday!". The emphasis he puts on "women" wiii-men-ah is all the more horrid. Not only are these adverts shockingly sexist, they're patronising to both sexes. As if men would be stupid enough to be lost in the pages of Nuts. Oh yeah...

Sorry, on a bit of a rant here, but just remembered the ad from a couple of years back that was based on middle class school run one upmanship. What was even worse was the one upmanship wasn't depicted through the adults but the kids. Absolutely disgusting. Capitalism will destroy your soul!

similar are the Vodafone gossiping over the fence ads they have on T4. they just seem very female-aimed but go out during very male-targetted programming (is it Enterprise?).

A possible clue to the Scott conundrum is the second ad, which implies he actually MAKES Cillit Bang. This might explain why we've never seen him before, and his peculiar on-camera personality.

Haha, oh something else about ads during CSI: they frequently advertise Canesten anti-thrush treatments halfway through. Target audience: yeasty ladies, ta very much.

Cillit bang adverts show DEFACEMENT OF THE COIN OF THE REALM!!! and therefore is subversivly cool.

The worst time to watch TV, advert-wise, is Channel 4 in the afternoons, around Countdown. Nothing but adverts for loan consolidation companies, ambulance-chasing solicitors, or devices to help you get out of the bath easier.

perhaps because she's a crap actress, dunno.
