I think if an abrasive mock-Cockney accent was used to flog everything on television, you'd be pretty pissed off with every brand going. Even ads promoting health and awareness would be a bloody trial.
"'Ere, mate! Fahsands of people are dyin' every fackin' day 'cos of them geezers what go speedin' wiv their birds in cars and hit dem poor sods what don't know anyfin abaht it!
Dahn't be a CAHNT - keep your meat pies to the frahnt!'

Hahaha! That is a great slogan.
I don't care what Rod Liddle thinks of you Ian - you're great.

This 'WONGA' guy... I thought he was that Australian geezer who was a 'DJ' at some point?

Speaking of things Mockney, this is the advert for Toolstation. if it wasn't for the fact that they support non-league football, I'd happily recommend firebombing every Toolstation branch in the country for that pile of garbage.

'Supporting' non-league, Sean? Don't you mean dragging its name through the gutter by association?

"Toolstation".
They picked "Toolstation" as the name of the business?
Why?
Had someone beaten them to "The Tosser Shed"?

I've been watching quite a bit of the IPL on ITV4 and the latest slice of the BT saga is on at pretty much every opportunity and fucking loathsome it is as well. The father of the kids is in this one for those who haven't seen it.
It still isn't as annoying as the Dove advert. It's the one where someones life is described in 30 seconds to the tune of the William Tell Overture.
It's the frequency of them which is the worst thing about having cricket back on my TV. Apart from having Ronnie Irani as a studio guest of course.

Anyone else find it weird that one of those mobile phone recycling companies (Envirophone?) is using the posh bloke from "Test Match Special" (Henry Blofeld?) to do the voiceover?
I can't think of anyone less appropriate for that advert, it's very odd.

Currently pissed off by the "Oven Pride" oven cleaner adverts.
Can they really get away with the slogan "Oven Pride - so easy even a man can do it" in a completely non-ironic way?
I'm off to burn my underpants in protest.

Take them off first, and make sure you're not on a plane.

we got to spend four lovely days in Cape Town.
That’s what I tell people who keep going on about how schmaltzy it is and keep nobbling me about it.
Ah yes, that time-honoured adage. If someone accuses you of being a mercenary, look down your nose at them. Works every time.

I'm a little perplexed at the Dr. Pepper ad, the one where the student has to go the college doctor to sort out problems with his 'little friend', thereby ensuing a huge misunderstanding which ends up with said soft-drink gulper being humiliated in front of the entire fraternity.
It's possibly the only advertising campaign I've seen that intimates that buying Dr. Pepper will bring on situations whereby the consumer of it will undergo humiliating and life-damaging events that see him or her as the butt of Shit Happens.
Should Tango go this route? Instead of Dr. Pepper: What's The Worse That Could Happen?, will we have Tango: Boy, Are You Fucked!

A couple of adverts that are currently grating my eyes and eardrums at the moment.
Firstly there is more elbows in the air mockney mayhem for Cuprinol's Wood Preservation Society. God preserve us.
Secondly there is the new Bernard Matthews Golden Drummers ad, based on one of my least favourite songs of all time. I don't have a link, unfortunately (actually forget the un), but it starts with a freckly little scrote singing, followed by the rest of the family and finally a huge choir singing "You are so bootiful to me." Aaaarrrggggghhhh! I just want to pour Cuprinol all over myself and set fire to it whenever I hear it.

That new Vodaphone advert where the new director of a firm at a restaurant jolly is just about to give a speech when his daughter phones and (sniff) wants Daddy to come get her (snivel) because her boyfriend's left her (blub) and she's feeling really bad in the rain and the cold and Daddy, please come and pick me up and give me a hug and bring that tinkly piano along with you to play plaintively in the background, thus signifying quiet, sad feeling.
Fuck off. Just fuck off.

I'm paraphrasing Charlie Brooker, but do you think there may be a folk song out there that hasn't been used in a mobile phone advert?
