I think the adverts for Allan Carr's new show on Channel 4 are hilarious. The ones where he had the body of a baby with his head, chatting about feeding the ducks and such. So funny!

I hate the advert for that oven-cleaning product (I think that's what  it is) which says it's so easy, even a man can do it.

What is this, 1950?

Or is it supposed to be a higher level joke that I'm just not getting?

Love the new Irn Bru advert!

so do i!

'It's fizzy, it's ginger, it's phenomenal!'

I also like the one for the kitchen roll, where the elephant arrives to clean up the spill, but the woman has got to it first with the kitchen roll.  The elephant turns round to leave, looking completely crestfallen, and kicks a wheelie-bin on his way down the road.

What is up with the badly dubbed commercial with the boy that wants to 'do a poo at Paul's'?
I'd love to know where that's from.

Oh man, I hate the "I want to do a poo at Paul's" one!!!!!!!

The Comedy Central commercial for Sex and the City is sooooo annoying. The girl who is supposed to be 'chatting' with Carrie about when the show is on has the most annoying voice ever.

Do you mean the ones on US TV?  Are they actually dubbed over American voiceovers?  I thought it was just a new fad for Brit accents, trying to sound posh.  There seem to be a lot of them now.
Or do you mean the ones in the UK, like that one for men's hair dye that is so obnoxious anyway but with the Brit dubbing is even worse!

Everytime I see that one, I have to ask in what home does each child have his own individual bathroom?

I have seen the Subway one with the Man dressed as a Jalapeno so many time and it always makes laugh! "Oh mamma, too hot? too Spicy?" then he runs away but not before shouting "Hot! Hot!"

I also think the new Currys ad is hilarious. The one where this heavy set man hangs a brand new flat screen TV on his wall. He starts to flip threw the channels and finds 3 ladies doing aerobics and joins in. Next thing you know he jumps and the TV is smashed on the floor.
LOL Love it!

Not only has Jamie Oliver been to the US, he has also apparently gone back in time.
Why he chose the 70's I don't understand.  Reckon he thinks he's being cute. 

Also, all of these ads that show children being utter sh*ts and moms cocking their heads and smiling at their incorrigible offspring.  The Vanish stain remover ads particularly spring to mind.
...the whole damn thing will turn
and return redefined, rearranged, rearranged...
