Thanks to the latest Woolite advert I can no longer imagine how anybody washed stuff without it disintegrating before their product came along.

But luckily the trailer for HAZAAAAAA BRIAN BLESSED's UNBEATABLE BANZOOKI BWAAHAHAHA on Challenge is all kinds of excellent.

Huh, so they got Brian Blessed to do Unbeatable Banzuke then, eh? Nice.

Ooh, just got sight of the latest tax return ad featuring none other than BIG MOIRA.

There are no other ads, this one is singularly the best.

The worst at the moment has to be that insurance advert (beatthatquote.com ?) with the boss firing tennis balls at a room full of employees. It's not so bad until a woman gets smacked right in the mouth by one of the balls. I find it very disturbing.

I'd put these under entertain, but it seems to to depend on who you talk to...

Now those ads are very Marmite I must say, happily sitting on the line between inspired genius and "it's gonna taste greaaat".

Surf essential oils. Yet another tree hugging pseudo-hippie advert. The marketing people should have realised this style of advertising was a load of patronising crap after Sky's sickening 'Joy to the World' cat advert, and that was about two years ago :roll:

Coco Pops. Another advert featuring CGI people with multiple facial deformities :roll:

However, I love the Country Life Butter advert with John Lydon.
