The new Barclaycard one with Simon Cowell. He makes me shout at the telly. I'm happy to say I've never seen one minute of his 'music' shows. He makes my skin crawl.

He has got a weird look about his face lately, not just in the ad but on britains got talent too. Too much botox or something.

I've mentioned before the over 50's don't die til you've paid ten times what a funeral costs ads. There are now more and more companies jumping on this, plus all kinds trying to guilt you into leaving something in your will then add the release your equity adverts. When I retire, terrestrial TV is getting binned off.

It's the guilt factor that gets me. 

If I don't get Sun Life / Royal London / British Seniors ect funeral cover my family will fall into a massive hole of debt.  Apparently.

Yeah, shower of bastards.

It just cost £4200 for her Dads funeral last week and that was for a hearse and one car. We've decided to fuck off having funerals, costs about £1k to be picked up from where you croak, taken to crem, burnt and then family collect ashes. They can go the pub and get pissed if they want to say ta-ra to me.

It's a bit of a taboo subject and no laughing matter, but that is a funny and very reasonable way to look at it!

I agree and think most funeral type adverts are aimed at your guilt, your conscience and of course your pocket.

Can't remember whether I've said it before, but the Meerkat Movies one. It's completely out of key and it goes right through me.

And the Simon Cowell Barclays one. He's looking more and more like his Vic Reeves portrait.

While employing drivers who go to dodgy cities like Wolverhampton, who hand out plates like sweets, because the local council refuse to issue one to the driver.

The plastic looking guy with the blonde hair is Jade Goody's husband Jeff Brazier

He's the usual Z lister type but just reading I see his Dad was the skipper on the Marchioness and he died with 50 others when it went down on the Thames in 1989.  Was a real bad few months for tragedies in 1989 :(

Fair play to Brazier grabbing a few quid like, he's not had much luck on the personal side of life has he.

I see that fucking horrible Nescafe Gold Blend one is back. The one with the guy on a stage facing what's supposed to be all the people he's ever met in his life, and the Lloyds Bank singer warbles somebody else's song in the background. He asks a load of questions like "sit down if you don't remember me" (and about 90% do, which should tell him a lot), and "sit down if you've never seen me strangle myself with a napkin when ejaculating". And he's left with about half a dozen, who all give him knowing looks, and he invites them down for a cup of coffee.

That first question should be "Sit down if you think I'm a self centred needy twat."

If you use a napkin does that mean that the usual cravats don't apply?  ;)

Hate those ads too, those families are working and look quite comfortably off. Yet when their car breaks down, or the fuckin boiler goes on the blink they immediately turn to Quid Quid!...Don't think so, these people not got a few bob in the bank, or got family and friends to ask to borrow a few quid before turning to rip off money lending companies. Misleading load of bollocks. Wonga had their ads banned, these fuckers should do too, or at least be made more believable.

That one's been mentioned in here before. I hate the hypocrisy of it. If it was three men in the advert acting in a similar manner there would be outrage. But seeing as it's women, and a disabled woman at that, acting like an immature juvenile and making smutty inuendos is suddenly cool.
