"Those are the jeans I would have bought with the money I could have saved if I'd gone to Confused.com."

Fuck off. Doesn't even make any sense as a concept.

And who thought the "groovy" VO bloke on More Than ads were a good idea?

I love that Boursin one.

My latest tskworthy advert? Envirofone. "The country is at a standstill as people poke their old phones at cashiers!". Um, nobody would ever do that. Oh, and then he puts a kebab to his ear. Get off my screen.

It has been three months since the last Go Compare advert launched. I know most of the world hates them (even to the point of starting rumours Gio is dead!) but I love them. I hope they make another one, they did ask on one of their videos on YouTube what situations commenters would like Gio to appear in, so there is hope yet!

I cannot chose my most hated advert of the moment though, I like the majority, I will update this post (or reply) when I find one!

I have to admit that I fancy the dancing bloke in the "We buy any car" ads.

Conversely I used to fancy the bloke in the Persil ads, but he doesn't look quite so attractive now they're using him more and more - he hasn't got the face for a close up.

Easy come, easy go.

Your taste is worrying! However, I do also think that the Persil man is rather dishy.

The guy in the go compare advert used to be a go go dancer for essental in Manchester (or so I am told)

You mean "We buy any car", yes? I doubt Gio Compario could bust those moves.

Dear lord, did I just say "bust those moves"?

Anyway - he does look like a dancer in a gay club, which is why I fancy him.

I do love a fit lad.

If it's the right one, then this may be for you, Gavin :arrow: Slow-Mo

And there you go - as if to prove my fickle nature, now I've had a better look I'm thinking, "nah".

Onwards!

Well you got what I mean anyway... I don't like his face, might be because he has too long hair.
Its surprising the number of remixes there are on YouTube.

there are also a strange obsession with the old envirophone advert
