Considering the humourless nerks I used to associate with in Sainsbury's in a former life, I'm impressed with a clever and witty response, fair dooze.

This for irritating. Oh god I hate it. This is the american version but even with english voices it's awful.

OMG that music is in the generic music section of iMovie!
It looks like a silly product, too. I've never seen a slightly grey person and thought 'Wow, he looks like his knows what he's doing!"

I do love a bit of "salt and pepper" hair colour though.

I'm sure it's attractive, but the advert makes the assumption that all salt 'n' pepper heads are charismatic old Hugh Hefner types. I can't imagine someone looking at a trolley park attendant with similar hair and thinking "Woah, he's a veteran and he knows his stuff".

The bit that enrages me the most is the therapist at the end doing the sexy look that says: "ooh, I'm a foxy therapist and I'm going violate my ethics with YOU"

I suppose all us losers with entirely brown hair should give up hope of finding women. And I bet those men who have used Grecian for years are kicking themselves.

"NOW AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE LONDON MINT OFFICE... we're not actually a real mint that makes proper money but if I talk at you in a posh voice, sounding important, and stand against a sober black background in a cheap suit, I'm hopeful that I can flog you a virtually worthless stamped lump of metal which we've made particularly tacky by painting Britannia on it in red, white and blue. If you do buy it then we'll bombard your letterbox with special offers for gold sovereigns rings, innit."
Go on... fuck off.

Oh. OH!
Too late to get my £59.95 back for a gold painted penny piece then?

Currently being entertained and irritated by the
Kärcher Clean to the Beat advert. Why the heck don't they smile in it?
