There's some other car advert with a bunch of tortoises crawling along - what's that about? Is it saying there car is durable but slow as fuck?

I haven't seen this follow-up Michael Winner ad. FWIW, First Alternative refused to insure me because I work in television. Cunts.

The current one. Where some perfectly normal folk are settling into their sleeping bunk seat thingys, nods/smiles around. And they get to their destination the next morning, and all have turned into plastic supermodel types. The blokes also. And 'Alice Cooper' at the end, supposedly, too. Except it wasn't him in the first place but a younger version. (Maybe he took an earlie flight and had two regenerations like Dr. Who)
ANYWAY!!! PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE! AND SO THEY SHOULD BE!
(agreed re the KFC ads. They are fine. You can like the music and ignore the product.)

What I hate is that Kodak one with the smug voiceover guy saying how much "we miss real pictures, and we want them back!" Who the fuck are 'we'? Do they think we're going to believe this smoothe-voiced meeja cunt is speaking on OUR behalf? Fuck him! And fuck YOU Kodak!
And another thing about the Head and Shoulders advert: it doesn't make any fucking sense! If, as it points out, she has no problem wearing his aftershave, why is she suddenly unable to touch his shampoo just because it has the word 'men' on it? Aftershave is for men and that didn't stop her! I think they should go the whole hog and call it "Womanthrax." That'll stop the klepto-bitch from touching it.

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."

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.

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.

Sillit Bang adverts are accidentally terrible or purposefully awful.

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.)
― We Are All Full Of Kate (kate), Thursday, 7 April 2005 08:15 (nineteen years ago) link
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?).
