I hope this hasnt been mentioned, but i did search the thread, has anyone seen the Volkswagen Golf advert with the Singing in the Rain theme and the guy breakdancing.

Pure Class - the boys awesome on it - although i wonder if he's aided somehow in it.

EDIT: See it here (Apple Quicktime Required)

Does anyone remember the Not the Nine o'clock News version?

Driven by Italians!

Now I've seen a ringtone ad even worse that the Chav Frog one (which I now have!) Anyone seen that chick thing singing? It's absolutely pathetic, makes me want to put my foot through the tv screen - no doubt it will be heard in chav shopping malls everywhere soon! :rolleyes: :sick:

Norwich Union direct adverts are just so not funny, with the guy from The Royle Family. I also hate all window and sofa adverts, grrh.

The one which goes 'I may be small, I may be sweet, but baby... I know how to move my feet' ? That's worse than the frog one! Argggh!

Has anyone else seen the advert for a press-on towel, where there's a woman standing in the crowd for a mardi gras, and this bloke grabs her to dance with him?

It could be a completely uninteresting ad, but the bloke is wearing the most outrageous clothing, and he is without doubt the world's worst dancer ever. It's worth watching just to see how bad he does dance. :D :D :D

Hello,

My vote for the worst adverts on TV has to be ALL perfume ads.
Also I hate the recent ads for ANTI FIT jeans.:mad:
What is the point of buying jeans that don't fit.:confused:

The Lombard Direct one with the cartoon telephone asking waking up the sleeping couple if they are losing sleep over their finances!
They're already asleep!

Those Anti-fit ads, it's the guys stupid way of talking. do people actually speak like that in real life.

Ocean finance:
'They look like people like me' --- Good god!!!
Also, makes every other loan company application system look like rocket science if these muppets can't work out how to fill in the damn form

The NHS advert, where the guy falls down the flight of stairs. Sends shivers down my spine.

My fave at the moment in the Muller advert, with the Nina Simone record (Aint got No) I Got Life. The record is so cheery, and the funny things you see people doing in the ad cheers me up for th day! :D
