Secretly directed by Wes Anderson and you can't convince me otherwise

This is the advert that annoys me the most because it feels likes it's come directly out of 2008.

I'm still waiting for the "yo fam" Dulux advert you mentioned a while back to air.

I'm positive that Albert Einstein one advertising smart meters is Alexander Armstrong doing the voice.

That Einstein advert is bizarre and I don't see how that's something that should even be allowed, morally or legally, to happen.

I don't mind that ad, or the Wimbledon themed one they did, I quite like the way it subtly takes the piss out of hipsters.

The only decent credit ad is the one with the cat taking a stroll on his hind legs.

Only problem is the song getting stuck in your head for ages after seeing the ad.

The personality rights of Albert Einstein were used with permission of The Hebrew University Of Jerusalem.

The other one which is basically the 'rocket looks like alternate words for penis' bit in Austin Powers is far more annoying.
