Default Worst Advert on TV?

Jusy seen the advert for "Vagisil" on ITV

The dubbing is so bad i cant tell you,

No wonder though, what woman would want to go on TV and explain how to apply it to her "sensitive areas"

haha, had to google for that one, never head of it

it seems they do a "hole" range of flange related maintenance products, even a fully synthetic fanny batter. Could be quite handy in a motorway services type soap dispenser by the side of the bed

I think the Glade touch and fresh with the asian kid on the ****t£r annoys me the most as the dubbing even beats kinder surprise or maybe even carol vorderman encouraging us to take out a purple loan to keep us in the red, would like to shoot the $lag

Any AA ad - far too patronising
The "quote me happy" ad - complete fiction (and how can the call centre staff hear the same call when they have headphones on?)
The other insurance ad with the dog called "lucky" - who would insure such a family?
Any ad for a foreign confectionary (kinder surprise, haribo, ferraro roche etc.) - they just don't translate

...but worst of all, the ads that the BBC show repeately between every program, news article, weather forecast etc - and we are bloody well paying for them

The new ocean finance is a classic piece of work - why did they pick only fat and ugly urban white trash for it

halifax - deffo baaaaaaaaaaad
Lucky the dog is in the "More than" adverts

best ads at moment are John Smiths no-nonsense


p.s. I work in advertsing but don't blame me for the crap ones

Terry's Chocolate Orange with Dawn French. "It's not Terry's, it's mine" says the appropriately shaped queen of voice-overs.

Maybe Terry's could make a new version loosely based on a satsuma, called the Dawn French special - the Chocolate Fat-Sumo?
