hate the Dominic West adverts where he's a bank executive

Too cowardly to go properly nasty because they're still advertising banking services, and still somehow written really stiltedly

I can't help thinking that now we've reached Stockholm Syndrome with the wombat as we did with the meerkats, Compare the Market will introduce an even more annoying character *shudder*.

"that true, restful sleep"
yeah this is some fucked up Americana shit, fallout from a very strange mattress culture
To return briefly to Dormeo. I'd forgotten that in one of their adverts where they're talking, sorry, shouting about having guests staying over and sleeping on one of their mattresses - which you absolutely know are going to be completely underwhelming and look nothing like they look in the advert - that it'll be on a "mattress you can be proud of".

I kind of hate that AA advert where bank robbers rush out to find the AA man working on their getaway car - potentially a good idea rendered completely meh. Apart from suggesting the AA have no qualms about helping criminals commit crime and ignoring the fact any bank robber worth their salt will have a getaway driver, it's the bit where the AA man offers them Bombay mix that annoys me most - is it supposed to be funny? Quirky?

the bombay mix guy IS the getaway driver.

which is why he says 'it's ok *I'm* with the AA'
Oh right. LOL you can tell I'm not a driver. I still don't like the Bombay mix line.

(have just realised that 'I'm with' could mean 'i am employed by' as well as 'i'm a member of')
he's far too chill given the circumstances

someone should tell Pot Noodle that just because something is intended to be disgustingly obnoxious doesn't mean it isn't disgustingly obnoxious

New Verisure advert looks like it was improvised during a teabreak in the recording of a proper Verisure advert - with the crew as actors.

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
