Did you know that he's actually quite a good opera singer (or whatever the proper term is, tenor, etc). Why would you demean yourself by doing that shite?

Pretty much all insurance/price comparison adverts are horrendous. I guess they rely on some kind of annoying thing so you don't forget their name, and are more likely to use them. Most adverts are strawberry floating terrible though. There are very, very few that I can stomach watching. Problem with ads is that their effectiveness has little to do with them being 'good' adverts or not.

There's one advert, something about getting compensation for accidents, that's set out like a Jeremy Kyle type show. With some old bitch talking and then interviews some pikey in the audience who got monies for a bit of metal falling on him.

Such a bad advert that I can't help but think cost too much to make - based on the amount of people in the fake audience.

The Halifax adverts have been the worst for years, but the ones where they are singing soppy songs are worse that they've ever been. Horrendous, vomit inducing stuff

Time to turn this on it's head and show a couple of good ads:



And a rather serious ad, but very memorable (probably for the wrong reasons):

Look at me I'm going to go against every sane persons view and pretend I love a film that almost ruined the legacy of the first two just because that's cool and unique and everyone will think we're hip.

Oh hey, sounds like Timothy Spall.
*something about kitchens*
Ha, yeah, we got out kitchen from you, we're fine for now.
"It's got our name on it. Wickes."
...slogan, company? Not company, slogan?

*every other time Wickes advert starts*

After seeing some terrible adverts over Christmas, I started thinking that the main adverts that I liked were broadcast during NFL games, there have been some brilliant ones this year; this always made me smile. :wub:

I hate all adverts equally....except for the new T-Mobile one with Harry Hill saying all the stuff that Britain likes. Not sure why but I kinda like it :oops: :shifty: .
