Worst TV adverts of the moment

Wine ads infest the London Underground system. That and ads for ten- week 'philosophy' courses.

Must. Calm. Down.

Lambrini girls are classic. As David Bell, chief executive of Cheetham Bell JWT, which devised the campaign said:

"It is a drink for salt-of-the-earth girls to drink before they go out, maybe while chatting or putting their make-up on. While they do that, they probably crack jokes about their boyfriends. I've never heard of any men being offended by these ads. They're quite clearly just a bit of fun.'

Who'd have thought that one day computers would allow us to watch adverts at work

Millions of years of evolution and THIS is what they expect us to aspire to.

I LOVE the Link advert, but I'm prepared to accept it's for similar "ah - a good old fashioned cheery crappy ad" reasons as my fondness for the never updated Argos campaign.

creepy animated babies who discuss personal finance.

Ooh yes - that's the original 'I have to change channels cause this makes me nauseous' ad. Apparently Madchen's gran loves it cause it reminds her of Madchen's dad at a similar age.

Pervert.

Actually, this reminds me of a girl I used to know who said she loved dentist drills.

Any ad where the magic of Animatronics allows toddlers or animals to SPEAK. GRRRRRR!

Any ad on Channel 5 which shows exactly what media buyers think of the viewers, eg debt ones, dial LAWYERS ones, old folks' maladies and life insurance ones. All the most awfyul American imports of the ages in one break from Family Affairs omnibus when I am hung over and de-motivated. SCREEEEEE!

God I hate that it is SO CONTRIVED who would say 'shall I take the old thing away' you'd say 'shall I take the old one / old telly away'. Only then of course the hilarious punchline wouldn't work.

There are many ambiguous things they could ask that would be better than 'shall I take the old thing away?'. How about 'shall I take this old pile of shit away?' or 'this isn't much use to you know - shall I take it away?' or 'do you want me to get rid of your husband?' ('husband' is slang for TV set in Berkshire)

What kinda of messed up message is this? Blowing your last two quid on a happy meal for someone else? I mean the kid could have at least had got his dad to pay for it! (you get the thanks without incurring financial hardship = crafty!)

Chrysler is one of company's clients, and believe me the only thing any of them would ever get misty eyed about is the idea of spending an extra dime. If they could make a crappy car out of nerf and sell it for a profit they would.

Also, Maura's Chrysler ad is really bad as well. Someone shoot their ad agency.

I don't have anything against Chrysler really, but their commercials are bad. BMW are 100 times worse to deal with as a client but their commercials are clever.

Are you gellin' like a felon?

Dr Ranj, thank you for knowing the price of cashew nuts in Grape Tree

xp I think I'm part of the problem when tom's description means I'm looking frwd to seeing it now. can't see how they'll top the golf one but I'm excited.

just seen the pot noodle slurping video with some kind of electronic noise rather than the slurping. wasn't paying enough attention to understand why that was.

there's a second slurping ad at the moment as well though, macdonalds perhaps.

The Hertz car rental ads I have been getting on youtube for about a year are driving me mad - one is a parody of Oprah saying "you get a car!" and the other is a parody of Tom Cruise on Oprah, both are just shit in every way possible.

haven't seen in a week but i'm still irritated so the sara cox radio 2 promo. is it calling her listeners 'you absolute legends' or the digital landscape of sad commuters making their 'everyday less everyday' by having hung up played to them, the 'less everyday' to the 'everyday' train rhythm beneath?

not that bbc radio promos don't usually annoy me, mind

"my nan was a truly amazing woman, she made shit sunday dinners with frozen yorkshire puds" is a feminist masterpiece
