Liking the new Carling pool-table ad — with a couple of familiar faces propping up the bar.

The World cup Visa Advert with Usain Bolt. "2014 FIFA World Cup™. Jamaica to Brazil"

Its Dreadful, poor and you can tell its all fake with him being green screen on nearly every single section of the advert.

Oddly that bib doesn't feature in the advert.

I wish to nominate the advert for a yoghurt brand featuring Nicole Scherzinger appearing to be having an actual orgasm whilst eating a yoghurt in a taxi before the taxi brakes, her nose goes in the yoghurt and she laughs stupidly.

She had no dignity before but she really has lost anything close to dignity.

Looks like this MadBid TREASURE came out last year, but I didn't have the opportunity to see it:

I thought, "well, it can't be hard to improve on this amazing bunch", but I may have been hasty.

The Oral-B advert where the woman asks the person on the screen in a white coat (that she's facing away from) in an advert that has clearly to this point been about toothbrushes/toothpaste, "So, you're a dentist?"

I prefer the one that promises me terrifyingly blinding teeth like Shakira's

Not so much an advert, but a teeth-gnashing promo for my new job.

Oh god, it feels like one of those almost-convincing April Fool's pranks that big companies do these days. What a terrible product. Anyway, why can't they just shout "OK Google... OK GOOGLE... Fuck it... OOOKAAYYY GOOOGGLE" at a phone instead.

PS - has anyone in history stored a shopping list on an Amazon thing, and where on earth would you go to retrieve it?
