Yes, as Hello Sunshine pointed out, this is indeed a kangaroo and the reason I clicked on this thread. But you know ... it *is* wearing a hat most of the time.

These are the *best* adverts on at the moment:
"For bonza car insurance deals, girls get down to Sheila's wheels...""For ladies who enjoy their cars, Sheila's wheels are superstars..."
So damn catchy!

You forgot the worst bit. It goes something like:
[posh man with posh voice]: this is the exact size of your nasal passages when you have a cold - theyre not full of snot...
(Jump cut to posh mans mouth)
[same posh man putting on even posher voice]: YUCK!
[posh man back to normal posh voice]: its the veins in them exploding....
Truly infuriating.

I did notice though that one of these ads featured about half a dozen redular members of the public, and EVERY ONE OF THEM was grotesquely obese. What can it mean??

And what does "crumbelievable" mean, anyway? It's not really a pun. It doesn't really make sense as a slogan. I would pay $50 to be a fly on the wall during the creation and selling of this ad campaign.

I would've accused you of having hid in my living room last night were it not for the fact that you posted the above statement three months ago.

They think the line is so clever they make her say "ICS you can" about ten times in the one advert.
It makes me want to weep.

The "did you feel something?" ad for Wilkinson Sword or whoever - razors seem to be the new chewing gum in unwatchable advert stakes.

Combo of cliched corvette-owning jerk plus overstyled yuppie apt plus woman in role of smug manipulative killjoy really put me off! I think this is a commercial for insurance, but I'm not even sure of that.

I thought it was for the Yellow Pages...
Anyway, what about the latest Mini Baby Bell thing, with a central casting model woman (dressed like one of the Angels from Captain Scarlet) throwing some cheese out of a plane so some geeky, gropy skydivers leap out after them, but the geekiest one of all fails to catch his and it lands on a remote-control flatbed truck that an evil-looking Scandinavian boy drives away while cackling, forcing the parachutist to chase after it on foot through a giant concrete pipe only for his chute to get caught up in the pipe making him fall flat on his arse while the evil-looking Scandinavian boy eats the cheese and laughs even more madly than before?
What the fuck is that all about?
Meanwhile, Sheila's Wheels continues...

Totally otm. I've also been reduced to shouting at the telly recently by the jaffa cake advert with the woman stuck down a well and the new one for bogroll with some kind of balm on it ("I'm a bit of a clean freak" etc). Jebus, these are bad.
