Oh, I see that Captain Birdseye has stopped taking his young relatives out on his boat, and is actually going out to net some Cod.
Well, walking around the boat while actual trawlermen do work, anyway..

I noticed the other week that one of the Freeview movie channels was trailing a Christmas films only channel to start in September, might already be up and running.

the Verisure adverts have a new episode - same couple whose neighbours where burgled (they cam in through the garden...) but this time with added verisure installation guy.
it would appear they can't afford more than 2 speaking parts ever as the wife says nothing.
it's like the oxo family, only with security cameras.
― koogs, Friday, 8 October 2021 12:17 (two years ago) link
The wife says nothing and looks slightly deranged.

Surprised no-one has mentioned so far that the Go Compare guy is more annoying as himself than he ever was as the most annoying character in adverts.

(go compare guy) sung "Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur" at the last game at White Hart Lane. He reprised the song at the opening of Spurs' new stadium
I've not knowingly seen him in anything since that ad, but it seems some Spurs fans have.

I actually did see Kris Marshall in our 'local' Tea garden with his fam (mum&dad) a few years ago. That won't happen again (Tea Garden closed down)
What ad did he irritate in, or is the loathing a general thing?
― Mark G, Sunday, 10 October 2021 07:30 (two years ago) link
He symbolizes everything that disgusts me. Obviousness.

Semi convinced Kris Marshall, Dan Walker and Jake Humphries are the same guy and a particularly loathsome one at that.

I am increasingly troubled by the radio 2 TV advert where they dress up the presenters as bad family photos, they have gone for retro laffs and ended up making some extremely unfunny, fairly cursed images. Every time I see it, it looks worse.

So I just seen an advert for a Motorhead album, which was very strange cos who does tv adverts for albums in 2021? and the voice guy sounded like Tommy Vance, and I'm like I'm sure Tommy Vance is dead, so I Googled Tommy Vance and yes Tommy Vance has been dead for several years, so somebody has made a TV advert for a Motorhead album and got somebody to do a Tommy Vance impersonation on the voice-over, also now I know Tommy Vance's birth name and it is very funny

I've just noticed that the terrible, sexist, creepily cgi-looking advert for Aunt Bessie's roast potatoes has a "based on a true story" caption at the beginning, lol ffs it's just some voice over lad saying he liked his nan's Sunday dinner

Yeah, the radio station he joined had pre-recorded idents for the real Tommy Vance who dropped out,so that was the condition of employment for.. him.

belatedly noticed that they've changed up the scenario in the ad for direct prescriptions with the hen picked/useless husband and disapproving wife couple. this time he's mixed up her prescription with that of a mates wife after going for a quick pint on his way from collecting it, the useless fucker. last time he made a mistake whilst distracted by an article about collectable toy tin soldiers or some such idiocy. kinda love him tbh.

Guess this tread is mostly UK centric, I expected this revive to be about those horrific VW commercials with all the people singing that dumb song about what they are doing that makes me want to claw my ears off.

Don't think so. The Verisure tradition of only two people being allowed (paid?) to talk in an advert continues.

there's a new verisure advert, but it has no qualities worth mentioning.
but watching Big Match Revisited, 80s football, there are pitch side adverts for manhole covers, tyres and tapes (cassettes i guess). and Dickie Dirt's "for PM and Sunday" whatever that means. no car adverts, no airline adverts, nothing that i saw on Everton / Hull City before that.
