Charlene does indeed manage to make it look completely effortless to produce such a beautiful voice and song.

And I'm so glad it has come to Twinings attention that women today juggle numerous roles on a day to day basis.

why is that bull dressed up like something from dickens and talking like tim nice-but-dim to try and sell us curry sauce. does not compute.

British Telecom have a broadband service called 'Infinity'. They've just started a new, faster service called... 'Infinity 2' Twice as much infinity as before!

I don't think I get the Dulux one where they paint the room yellow & the son moves out. Is it meant to be too blinding for his daily hangovers?

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

yuck

ugh, using Philadelphia in those recipes a) costs more than and b) doesn't taste as good as using double cream and freshly grated parmesan.

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?

^ and 19000 other idiots on google

and thusly language "evolves"

blooding ridiculous

fucky nell

forking caunts

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.

"I just sold my car click click"

I just skipped your ad FUCK OFF

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?

swimming armbands, obv.

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.

uh? So, what, the pregstrang is the dead guy's affair or something?

I think it's some "my husband is dead but hey! there's a random new baby on the way somewhere so I have accepted the circle of life" wise old woman shit.

Those billboard Go Compare ads that look like they've been grafftied on. So many people have fallen for it and put it on Facebook.

xpost oh ffs. "Hey widow! Get some perspective!"

current Phones 4 U tv ad is the greatest of all time btw

Snack enlightenment. Surprised the league against asian defamation haven't created uproar.

"It has come to Jacomo's attention that the actor who played Egg in the BBC 90's series 'This Life' is about to walk in from of the camera."

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?

Whoever that sofa company is who are currently running ads for a sofa with a built in iPod dock and speakers.

That Costa ad that features what looks like people buried up to the neck in shit while singing 'I Was Made For Loving You' by KISS.

really hate the truck commercial where the dude shakes the dealer's hand but first wipes mud all over it, wtf come on what is this REAL MEN GET DIRTY ARGGGH bullshit

on the other hand the truck commercial with Peyton Manning where he says "call Papa Bear" and pumps his fist is really one of the greatest commercials ever

> Costa ad

this

Brad Pitt. Chanel. Why?!

^^^ I don't understand either. I keep substituting the "you are not your job, or how much money you have in the bank" line from Fight Club.

Yes Converse Make Boots

Vodafone advert with Yoda on a train helping a woman do a crossword puzzle on her tablet.

What's not to like? It's *yoda* and he's helping People

Kevin Bacon, go fuck yourself

BT Broadband students, go kill yourselves

are they still doing those super sexist bt ones where that one guy is constantly leching on his flatmate?

BT students are the worst. I pine for the return of Kris Marshall and her off of Spooks. Oh no, we can't have a party because we're all incapable of using a cd player, oh fuck off. We can all rent or buy professional dressing-up clothes to sit around our house in, but fibre-optic broadband is beyond us because 'we're students, luv' aargh fuck OFF.

I like Kevin Bacon though.

The definitive Sherlock, solving crime with the help of Beechams.

The real Sherlock Holmes would have taken certain powders for a cold, but not Beechams.
btw the first result on a Google search for 'sherlock beechams' links to a sneezing fetish forum.

xposts what ailsa said, yes.

notice how the smug nerdy bt student has already been reduced to an animated gif in the latest BT advert ?

maybe some market research backed up ailsa's definitive view point ...

I know someone who looks strikingly like BT advert student bloke and gets the ise taken out of him all the time, which is a shame cos he's a nice guy.

"I don't wanna grow up, I wanna be a Toys-r-us kid KID KID KID KID"

It's no 'there's a magical place, we're on our way there...', that's for sure

(presumably) 10 and 11 year old kids beatboxing the super mario bros — you were born in 2002, shut up
