the worst for me is the Sky + ad

"its oh so quiet..."

The part where it becomes chaotic makes me unwell

Jesus Wept

The Meteor one is sh1t too with the older woman being a snotty cúnt. Want to punch her in the jaw.

thetonynator

christmas ads should be banned until December.

we should have an advertising regulator who only allows happy christmas ads!!!

although he'd probably end up as corrupt as the financial regulator and accept bribes . . .

MagicMarker

Where are the coca cola ads?!?

This is unacceptable!

CliffHuxtabel

Jet Black

I HATE the guy with the beard in the Meteor ad.

I'd love to attack all the people in the new Meteor ad with a baseball bat. Especially the smug bearded prick.

Be your own advertising regulator and don't watch any.

So much for the Christmas MegaMerge thread

i think you'll find listening to Raining Blood would be much more entertaining than the current o2 ad.

I am tremendously thankful for the fact that I will not have to look at Kerry Fcukin' Katona flogging frozen Turkeys to Pikey families this Christmas, I'll take the O2 and Metor Ad's as a tradeoff anytime.

Slaanesh

The coca-cola song!

I completely agree. I'm fed up of this 'Christember' month that marketing execs have made up. November is not part of December. Never has been, never will be. I refuse to say the C-word until December 1st (and not after mid-January).

Stop Advertising for C-Word! Too soon, too soon!

The new Texaco Techron ads are doing my head in, the ones with the American cabbie, or the American boy racer. And that jingle they have..

This has nothing to do with christmas, they're annoying all year round.

You still hear that one.

I haven't seen many Christmas adverts but I haven't been watching much telly and if I do its normally BBC.

Actually that Tesco one with your one from Cold Feet and your man from The Full Monty is really grating.

No, the voiceover is stoned, hes on a tropical beach and that lovely indigenous fella is playing a conch shell.

Using same argument, Xmas threads should also be banned until December

This advert is doing exactly what it is supposed to. No matter how good, or how crap or how depressing it is, all of you are talking about O2 and this add, making it a very very effective advert...

homerun_homer

Hate that smug beardy man and his mates. They should have walked away battered and bruised from being outdone by the other Carol singers but no... they had to return and feic it up for the lot of them. I hope they raise shag all money to buy a pint between the lot of them.

Take that you JLC wannabe!!

Well, not really. I think I'll switch to Vodafone.
