    The naked old people - advertising God knows what ? yuk .They make the diarrhea advert look good (pepto bismol) !

    You can't see anything anyway. Apart from the girl in the advert, i like her expression when the guy uncrosses his legs!

    The Mr Q bingo ad is annoying and stupid and too long!

    That one also looks incredibly like AI

    Why are 'old naked people' so yuck? It looks like a fine advert.
    If you're jealous of the age game and they're beating you, who knows, you might be lucky enough to catch them up one day.

    I've got nothing against old people - I am one .I just don't like adverts that use nudes to try and make their products more interesting , so I wouldn't like even it if they were young .

    Don't mind the Daisy by Marc Jacobs ad this year - loving the background music to this

    I've checked back a few pages and couldn't see anything about this, so sorry if I missed anything and it's been covered.

    I find the NSPCC advert one of the most upsetting things I've seen for a long time. I can't bear to watch it, it's too real for me. The little girl in it breaks my heart, and I find myself waking up in the night worrying about her. I don't know if that was the reaction they wanted.

    It's by no means the worst advert but it is very unsettling for me. As long as it raises awareness and people donate though it's a good thing I suppose, but I do find it distressing.

    Just shows the power of advertising (it’s our favourite ad).
    (I did buy him a bottle of whiskey instead which was even more expensive.)


    I once got it from the pharmacy, they said it makes your stool turn black. 😳

    Another annoying ad that’s trying to tug at the heart is the grandmas getting cushions from Amazon so they can go sledding down the park. It’s on nearly every ad break in my area and also constantly on YouTube.

    Jamie Oliver and those bloody toothpaste adverts
    seems to forget all the cooking shows he was eating in everyone
    "Oh could never eat that before", He hid that well.

    M&S clothes ads. A group of people striding through a snowy town sneering at people, and one of the men starts doing some sort of David Brent dance.
    It's awful, so are their food ads.

    Don't see them as sneering. Posing for sure.

    But definitely a David Brent dance from the one at the end who glares at the camera as if he wants to smack the viewer in the face for some imagined slight

    I was recently in Florida and couldn’t even escape this dreadful advert over there!

    Somebody posted a fuller version where the grandmas dissolve into their younger girl selves which is rather sweet, but they never seem to show that on the TV.

    Yes, I think I’ve only seen the flashback advert once and that was maybe a month ago.

    Would make a bit more sense as the full version so it's a shame they don't include that bit.

    Pretty sure this is a recycled advert as well - at least I'm confident I've seen this before and a while ago at that.

    Probably not PC but I hate that RNIB ad with the girl banging on about letters from Santa in braille and how she said she was on the ‘Nice’ list - ffs, isn’t she a little old for all that? I mean, like 8-10 years too old? And don’t get me started on those godawful ASDA grinch abominations this year!

    That one's on ALL the time!
    Any advert that pulls that emotional blackmail BS is an instant no-no for me too.

    Don't know which supermarket but it has an advert of Christmas fayre in close up, one of the food items looks like a ring of poo between pastry, did no one naking or approving the ad have second thoughts about shot?

    That ad fills me with dismay. It's a joke on the sad people who go to Spain, Greece etc and then insist on eating only "British" food. The problem is that there are quite a few people like that. They're the "patriots" who have dragged down Britain and continue to do so: they're not funny.

    My friend who works at Argos warehouse has told me she and everyone else there HATES their current campaign of that creepy doll and the T-Rex. I’m not alone!

    Speaking of, the ad where they force that guy from the back of his car to drive to a warehouse full of gaudy crap… I think they’ve altered it. The end should have the dinosaur being threatening and going ‘ahem’ from the window, but now it’s just the relative going ‘wow, I didn’t know you had taste!’ and the guy going ‘oi!’ Maybe they got complaints, who knows

    I’ve been thinking about the man with the suitcase full of beans. No wonder he has to go on holiday alone.
