All of those Kevin the Carrott ads are bizarre and strange if you ask me. I hate. The way Aldi are trying to make it a "thing ". They've even got Kevin the Carrott stuffed toys in their shops for Chrissakes.

What kind of kid wants a stuffed carrot for godsakes?

I’ll switch you off, ya smug pr**k!

Doesn't that line date back to the early 90s when Christmas lights used to go on fire for sport? It annoys me if for no other reason it's completely outdated!

Loads of kids have stuffed bears, it's not like they're ever going to eat a real bear.

Not sure if Meteor's Beardy McBeard face should return, with 3's and Vodafone's I miss you ads

I thought Beardy was the Vodafone ad? The smarmy bollocks

I know Guinness would have thought they would get 20 or so years out of that ad but I doubt when they made it they would have thought it would be on in November

That domino's FOMO ad. Shut up you nerd

Bic have a new advert saying most lighters don't pass EU safety tests. I've seen the add about 6-7 times tonight alone.

I don't have a problem with the ad per se, but, I'm just wondering how many extra lighters they will have to sell over christmas to break even on the adverts.

saw a thing a few years ago on bic and they are one of the most forged/counter fit black market copied companies in the world and can loose some serious money on copied lighters and pens. They have a huge black market of their stuff in Africa

Undoing his great work on the Wire a little bit more with every Sky ad. Mind you, he's still got credit in the bank for it as far as I'm concerned.

More than likely they'll get eaten by a real bear.

Once the CATS movie comes out, I have to wonder if his cred will survive.

Film looks like a trainwreck, tbh.

Why are Porsche running ads on Sky News? It's every 15 minutes & only applies to people who have a hundred, thousand euro lying around.

not sure where Kerrygold get the notion that Irish mothers are all hatchet faced scowlers who begrudge their children a bit of adventure or happiness. Horse to France & Irish Soil both show a glowering oul trout dampening the romantic spirits of the younger folk around them.

I'm tired of seeing UK advertisements that overrepresent "minorities".

In principle it's great but it feels like a very rare thing to see a functional family with two white parents on British TV these days.

Before anyone foams at the mouth, all I mean is maybe they could tone it down a little bit.

That ad's over 20 years old, I know climate crisis and 'we have no future cos of global warming' is all the rage now, but will recycling and advert 'really' help?

Really?

Also, do the actors still get residuals? I'm assuming one or two are probably dead.

The Lidl ad is the most annoying ad at the moment with the least convincing family ever.

It affects me worse than any other ad mentioned in these threads since the beginning (Reading the op I barely remember anything it mentions but it was 2003!), its the worst thing on tv atm, its just so off in a weird indefinable way, I cant wait for Christmas to be over when I see it tbh.
