    Flogas with the "Gas Man" advert, how did they think this ad and that wally-brain gas man offers a good portrayal of their company. Send the confused, woke bumbling arsehole instead of your best professional representative, yeah, good plan.

    Also the gasman looks the long lost lovechild of the woman who answers the door. Maybe there is more drama going on here than first appears!

    The whinging screaming goat in that ad sounds a lot like Tom Grennan.

    Already I am sick and tired of seeing, and hearing, that wretched "What The World Needs Now" advert. Amazon I think.

    In general I hate all of those kind of ads that try to overdo it with all this cringe worthy goody-goody crap.

    It's clearly a set-up. That's his sister's house he's calling to - anyone else would run the irritating tyke with the dogs after him.

    You'd think Diageo could stretch the advertising budget a bit and wheel out a new Christmas advert after 20 years of the aforementioned.

    Still, I think it's quite a good one, with a bit of Christmas atmosphere about it and I kind of enjoy it to be honest.

    Maybe I am a product of the constantly connected age, but don't tend to watch much linear TV any more. (Maybe the news if its not too drawn out, or the very rare programme that catches my eye), and when an ad break comes on, I immediately hit mute/change channels/get on the phone, I just simply refuse to be advert fodder.

    Here's a tip, there's very few ads on VM player live stream channels, 1 to 3, just a nice soothing tune and background caption, that runs for nearly all of the ad break as far as I can see. HD stream too.

    Or just record the programme you wanna watch and fast forward the ads. The AMAZON ad has re-enforced that method substantially

    Has anyone mentioned the new ad for Bulmers? A group of friends chatting as they skip through different periods of their lives, including a wake and a wedding. Like a lot of Irish ads the quality of the sound is quite bad.

    The Aldi ad arse joke was obvious, but I didn't get the tit (!) until tonight, when he says "it's a booby trap". Puerile in the extreme. Wasn't there a "willy' reference in last year's effort? I suppose a character named Fanny can't be too far off. Very Christmassy.

    The An Post ad with the Tin Man is back for another year. It's 🐎💩, the stalker neighbour literally lives across the road from him. She could just drop the card in his letterbox herself, but she freely chooses to go out of her way and be ripped off by An Post instead.

    That screeching Gillette ad, 'the best a manín can get', as he scrapes the bum fluff off his face,

    Then goes on a date

    That ad with the Tin Man in it.

    And the song that goes with it , with her singing sounding like her mouth is either full or half-closed.

    Nearly brings tears to my eyes.…tears of torture

    The BMW Ad for the hideous looking X3 with the fake vroom vroom is just dreadful…

    He's been mentioned already but that clown on the Flogas Ad is bloody annoying, he sounds like Pascal without the lisp.

    The new ad for Jaguar is such tripe. It reminds me of one of those pretentious arty perfume ads, and there isn't a single car in it, or even a road!

    Setting aside the DEI crap but that rebadging alone is brand suicide.

    That cat was immediately identifiable.

    That's a horrid new badge JLR have designed. Hopefully it's an early April fool or the likes

    On another more potential positive note, i haven't seen that horrid Amazon advert all weekend, have they pulled it? Has the poor man who cleans for a living who couldn't afford his own jacket and is bought one by the "real" staff been sacked?
