Best and worst TV ads"I'd like to give that dodo off the 5 Alive adverts a good kicking," says tom.joad. And luckily, there's tasty, tasty Cillit Bang to clean up the blood stains when you've finished. Tell us about TV adverts.

Can you imagine an advertwhere an insurance company says "We only insure men because they are better drivers"?
There would be hell up. Oh and if they're such good drivers why are they letting a fucking kangaroo drive the car whilst facing backwards without their fucking seatbelts on!

The "Carbon is the Spectre of DOOM" adsWhy? Because they look like they're a piss-take made by global warming denialists. I was all set to go into a nice rant about "How the hell is did that pseudoscience propaganda get on my telly?" until about half way through when I finally realised it was suppose to *raise awareness* of CO2 pollution.It's obvious that treating the entire population like 5 year olds listening to a fairytale and saying "TURN THE BLOODY GAS DOWN OR THE GHOSTS WILL EAT YOU!" is not the way to deal with a serious problem whose opponents' favourite tactic (short of cherry picked graphs) is to throw out accusations of scaremongering. I hope the ad agency behind it has a good excuse like "The animators stayed up all night watching the 6th Sense, stoned off their tits", or next we can look forward to more legendarily patronising public service ads along the likes of:
"Think. Don't drink and drive. Because the beer-pixies will possess you like Jack Nicholson in the Shining and you will die! OMG BEER PIXIES!"
"Benefit Thieves. We're on to you. With our Invisible Mind Rays.Yeah. Mind Rays. You're so fucked. Also we're telling your mum. Ooooooooh."
Click "I like this" if you think you can handle doing the Incredible Research! (like reading a popular science article written for normal people) that some PR numpty thinks you're too thick for.

I hate anythingUtterly misleading. Like that advert for babies where the mom carries a cup of milk you could fit three dead hookers in to show how much cow milk you'd need to give your baby the correct amount of iron or something.
Look at the bottom, where the tiiiiiiiny writing will reveal that cow's milk isn't actually a good source of iron.
They might as well have said You'd have to feed your baby allllll this cereal to get the correct amount of protein! All this cereal, or this one small slice of cheese once a week.

Every advert featuring fast foodor shite everyone knows is unhealthy. Why? Because the pony-tailed wankers in London who make this stuff always use fat actors with Northern accents to sell fucking crap like sweets, pies, deep-fried food, pizza and cheap booze. The middle-class aspirational adverts designed to make you feel like you're missing out are done using actors who look and sound like smug wankers, who walk round as though being well-off entitles them and their families/friends to special treatment. I've got the special treatment for those fuckers- ECT without anaesthetic: and yes, I do have a massive chip on my shoulder about the rich.

There's an advert for some kind of paint...With a bunch of brightly dressed cunts dancing round singing its praises.
To the tune of 'Self Preservation Society' from the Italian Job...
So to the advertising cunt who came up with that:
"Thank you. Thank you for ruining one of my favorite films of all time. You absolute bunch of total shitting cunting fuck bastards."

This advert always makes me laughIt's not that it's especially funny or brilliant, it's just quite unexpected. For clarification it's a Pepsi Max advert. Still wouldn't drink Pepsi though

There was a fantastic BT oneback when ET was their spokesman/spokesalien/whatever.
And I've only seen it twice, because I think it might have been pulled due to being awful.
Summary:
ET tries to tell the family to phone granddad, but because he doesn't know English, what with him being an alien, it takes a few attemps. Then they grasp what he's saying, and give him a ring.
Luckily, they phoned minutes before granddad went up a rickety ladder in the rain to fix the slates on the roof. Dad xcan sort that out tomorrow! Silly granddad!
Urgh.
