The Samsung ad with the Chelsea players and ...Donna Air. Most conceptually vapid ad ever and looks like it took 3 minutes to make.

And it's not an ad, but the Gordon Ramsay Braveheart trailer. The sound quality is really bad and I can't tell what he says before and after the chefs run down the hill.

the pepsi max(?) ad, which seems to be random people in street picking a footballer and a plot point. the thing ends up as a mess.
the singing worm on that compost ad.

Ha, was about to say about the Pepsi Max ad - clearly none of the footy players featured have had to be in the same room at any moment during filming. Even at the 'party' at the end.

Yeah, that one sucks.

The moment of genius in that pepsi ad is that Fat Frank is only seen very briefly, but is EATING.

I can't cope with the awful adverts for heat - with the woman singing ni the car. They actually make me feel ill, like I'm in the first stages of a heavy cold, in a William-Gibson-Pattern-Recognition way.

Pompous car advert - take your pick really - with female bodybuilder ("Is this beauty... or obsession"), CCTV ("Is this for our safety... or theirs"? (or something like that)) etc etc etc, shut up, it's a fucking car

There's that advert for Berocca which is plainly ripped off the video for OK Go's single - you know, the one with them on treadmills.

We've been whinging about this ad on the mongrel thread. Does it make you want to visit Melbourne?

Latest UK McDonalds advert (where adults and children are making a garden representing McD's foodstuffs) is a horrible piece of faux-sincere bullshit including:
1. Use of every tired cliché from every advert made in the last five years ie. indie-twee whistling song, outdoors setting, people working "togevver" to make pointless object which is revealed at the end.
2. Implication that teamwork and community are a part of McDonalds "core brand values".
3. Dreadful chummy reference to potatoes as "Spuds".
4. Hateful reprise of indie-twee whistling shitbaggery for "I'm Lovin' It" motif at end.

New McCoy's ad yet another celebration of pig-ignorant laddishness, apparently knowing about anything that isn't football is grounds for immediate banishment, possibly death.

What's up with that ad for a generic brand of Asian cars, featuring what appears to be a miniature version of The Feeling playing a shit song from inside the glove box?
