It is handy mind. I nearly applied for a loan on it the other day by accident.

The Bold 2-in-1 advert where a teenage boy picks a box of liquitabs off the supermarket shelf and exclaims "Wicked!" to himself. The mum is also wearing some sortof fake Google Glass affair thing.
Truly terrible.

I keep thinking they are warnings rather than shopping tips, from the way they are speaking - also why are Barclays moonlighting as IT teachers these days?

All seemed normal until the "BOOK! BOOK! BOOK!" sound effect. Honestly sounds like it's been dubbed in for a spoof video or something, considering the volume of it is louder than the rest of the advert.

The one on UK telly has a British voiceover, so it seems it's a global campaign - which may help explain why the 'humour' is so piss-poor.
That said, there's simply no excuse for the French version - where any likeness to the word 'woof' has gone completely. Someone needs to take that dog to the vet.

So it's been on a lot over the last couple of weeks, but I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I saw the new Pot Noodle ad for the first time.
