When I first saw it I sat there in total disbelief, thinking I was still in the US
Although what they are talking about perfectly describes the ad..

Seconded. I am actually impressed by the ad. I am impressed it has managed to annoy me more than the insurance ad with the opera singer..

I like that one, that guy can really dance

But I absolutely loath the GO COMPARE, with that Pavarotti wanna be, it does my head in and subsequently gets turned over when ever I see it

Those ads had a funny side effect for me.... My five year old daughter sings along to both, and with the we buy any car one, launches into a mad dance.... Very funny to watch.

I love this advert (latest John Lewis one) but it seems to be a bit Marmite. Some love it, some hate it.
