The new BT ad where the couple are having a big fight by instant message about him going away to take a job and what it means for their future and his internet connection goes down and they get all upset.

Why can't they just talk on the phone? What kind of emotionally stunted adult (without a hearing disability) has a possibly life changing discussion with their partner by typing rather than actually talking to them?

That Flawless deodorant commerical with the girl in NY and she is all about her armpits. Her voice grats on my last nerve, her fake smile and the annoying "reasons" to lift her arms to show off her armpits.


0o0o I found someone who replays the commerical lol..

Reason 1: Woman yells something like "Hey how's it going!" and high fives some guy while walking down the street. " I don't even KNOW that guy!!" She yells happily while giggling.

Reason 2: "At ease captain!" She solutes a door man who looks like a captain I guess? He just looks like a nicely dressed door man.

Reason 3: "TAXI!" She hails a cab which pulls up by her. "No thanks I'd rather walk" She tells the cabbie while pointing in the direction she'll be walking.

Reason 4: She walks through the street and pauses at an empty cop car parked in the alley way. "AHH I'm innocent!" She yells while raising her arms. She then takes a big wiff of her pits and says "And fresh!"

Reason 5: She raises both arms in the air and tosses a piece of trash into a can with one arm, while lowering the other arm and simultaneously caressing her armpit. "Flawless!" She swoons.

Yeah, that one I can live without.

The one with the song 'nothin' sweet about me.......I don't even know what it's for, so it's obviously not working, it just gets the song stuck in my head, and I don't even like it!!!!

This is an old milk ad, but it made me giggle:
We are a nation that has a government -- not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the earth. Our government has no power except that granted to it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government, which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed.
Ronald Reagan

I've pretty much had enough of the red parrot with the Carribbean accent in the Lilt adverts.

I love the Huggies one with the baby 'leaking'!
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

I HATE the Sommerfield adverts. That lady who says "pop into Sommerfield" drives me mad  >:(

I like the Parazone advert where the Dad and the little boy dress up and act like secret agents in their house. Makes me laugh  ;D ;D

I can't stand the ad for Just for Men where the little girls say, "daddy, it's time" and hold out a package of mens hair color. In what world?

Also, the new Oasis commercials are irritating with their connotation that never drinking water is cool. I know some people really don't like drinking water, but to advocate never drinking water is just plain silly. It is water. Just with plenty of sugar, color and flavorings.

On the loves side, I love the idea that Shreddies are knitted by nanas. :)

The latest adverts in the US for Tropicana Pure juice are annoying me... they are total rip-offs of the Marks and Spencer food ads, complete with sultry English accent!
