    The Denny ads. Smug, patronising, touchy feely yuckfests.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I'm familiar with LoveHoney and their range of products, but I'm not entirely sure I'd like to sit though one of their ads while my elderly mother looks on.
    I'm still recovering from having to explain what 'vagjazzle' is to her after an episode of Tallaghtfornia

    Eek

    Eek really sums up both situations.

    A little gem of an advert by the Car care motor company that appears on the Irish channels the odd time.
    Car care because we care. One of the worse taglines ever for a start.
    And it also features the embodiment of the age old stereotype of a 2nd hand car sales man (presumably a member of staff).

    Matress ads that go on for 3 or 4 minutes and say the name of their product like 'wondermatress' or whatever about 100 times.

    Stupid Isolief ad with florist(?) woman who speaks in a strange combination of words and gestures and gets excited about a tablet combining paracetemol and ibuprofen. What idiots think these up?

    **edit just read back a few pages and see this masterpiece has already been commented on.


    While I am at it....smell like Johnny Depp? He looks like he needs a good wash and you know his 60 a day fag stained fingers will smell rank too.

    The way she says 'Thanks Tom!' Highly passive aggressive - I wonder when the next installment will be so we can find out just why that edge is in her voice. Some deep background work clearly went into the characterisation of this blistering script.

    What happens to all those "Hi Jude" over 50s who forget to check their over 50s insurance policy every few minutes?

    And the postman's up for a GDPR case, the careless dope. As is she if she opened same said letter "by mistake". Maybe now she know knows how minted her neighbour really is and wants to get in his good books?? ��

    Weetabix advert, "Is this the new normal-abix?"

    And seen a new one this evening for is it Activia? Something else telling us about new normal.

    That phrase makes me homicidal

    The Starbucks Gemma James ad.

    I don't mind if Gemma wants to be called James but I have no interest in Starbucks being so smug at how 'woke' they are.

    It's infuriating seeing inclusiveness being shown as something they care about when in reality these companies just want to cash in on it.
