The Sainsbury’s ones with the usual recipe of kids and a cover version are unbearable

Christmas cannibal selection?!

That Elton John/John Lewis advert is fucking shite. If it was to advertise his farewell tour or last ever album, then yeah it'd be good, but as a Christmas advert it is garbage.

I like it. It's a shameless rip-off of the John Lewis Bohemian Rhapsody ad, but the plug bit makes me chuckle.

Speaking of John Lewis, I also think their Xmas ad is a bit crap

The McDonald's ones for the international-themed burgers.

"Look, stuff has gone comically wrong for these formerly-enthusiastic people!" must be the very, very laziest trope in advertising. Challenged only, perhaps, by "Isn't gormless dad a bit stupid and overconfident? Sensible mum and the kids will do it right."

After just watching the 2015 John Lewis Moon Nonce advert for the first time, the one with Elton in is fine by me.

Don't get me wrong they are both smoltzy as fuck.

The Moon Hitler one appears to be a bit of a running joke for a few years. Although I've only just seen the Ad i totally get the piss-take. Brian Blessed posted a funny piece of satirical writing from the Guardian about it in the Xmas Adverts thread

I suppose it depends on your humour taste. Horses for courses etc

I do find the pisstakes funny, the one about what he fuck did he do to get exiled on the Moon was ace - I've just seen some people saying that the ad itself was creepy, that was the bit I didn't get

I think it was that he was peering into a kids bedroom with a Telescope.

Pretty sure it's all tongue-in-cheek Rob rather than genuine outrage.

Betting ads, it's the amount of them that are on every ad break especially when theres live sport on is beyond a joke, as i've said in another thread easy to switch over when your at home, but hard when your in the pub.

On my radio app I keep getting ads for open days at the University of Northampton open days. Anyone else? If so you’ll know exactly why it winds me up so much!

All the Betting ads are annoying[& on far too often]but Paddy Power ads in particular are highly annoying.

As much as Giggs was a c**t for everything he did, that advert is absolutely shameful. I find it disgusting. I have no love for Ryan Giggs but the brother should be embarrassed by that.

Because it is completely crass. He sold any dignity he had off the back of that. Bringing it into the public domain again, taking cheap shots at his brother and making himself look like a tit. For money.

Doesn’t sit right with me at all.

Saw it for the first time today and thought it was quite funny. My own attitude is that If he makes a bit of money off the back of his scumbag brother and he's OK with that, then fair play to him.

I don't know if any of you noticed, but when Rhodri walks into the boozer, there's a craft ale poster behind the barmaid. The name of the ale is "Wandering Cock".

And the newspaper headline. The Tiki Bar thing. The milk.

It’s just too much IMO. I hope he doesn’t have children with that woman.

Probably his brothers anyway.

I doubt you can get any lower than finding out that for 8 years she was cheating on you with your brother.

Paddy Power is one of the most irritating ads going, & bookmaker ads are irritating enough as it is.
