    Cheesiest TV Adverts: Nominations Please

    Another idea from the Dept of Cranial Lubrication (most people call it the pub).

    If you had to nominate one company that had the cheesiest, toe curling adverts on TV who would it be.

    My nomination. The Halifax Building Society. I groan just watching the ad-come-musicals and think to myself 'Who the hell in Halifax thinks this will persuade people to open an account with them'. We had the Brummie bloke in Space, then we had the ad in the Wild West and now the Brummie and a Ruth Badger lookalike in a fanfare along the streets of what seems to be some American city. (Cringe)

    Anything by Admiral Insurance.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

      Whatever it is that Phil Tufnell advertises on SKY - some financial product or other.

        The AA - not only the service with that army of yellow-clad people, but especially AA insurance with all those geezers in the back of the car.

          "Quote me happy" - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGG!

          Stabbing's too good for whoever dreamt that up.

            All the Halifax advert with that 4-eyed, tuneless "let's try and milk my celebrity for all it's worth" dork, Howard.

            AAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

              Only Vinnie Jones would be dumb enough to go on an 'assault course' for help when his car breaks down. Most of us use a mobile. Join the RAC - we have some of the most stupid celebs on our books!
              Life is one of those things alot of people find hard to avoid

                Think of it this way. While these stupid celebs are feckin about trying to get help on their own, there are more RAC patrol men freed up and available for you - which the stupid celebs have paid for.
