Thumbs down Argos Christmas wish advert.

Is there is a more nauseating Christmas advert on the box? Early days yet.

this advert is one of sickliest adverts to date and really brings it home that the festive season is just a spending campaign for the retailers....

Anything with Jamie "pth pth pth" Oliver in it?

The furniture ads with that gay-looking ex-hardman from Eastenders in it?

Tesco voiceovers using VERY rich "celebs" like Wogan. Let someone else do it for the same wage

And yeah, Kerry Mc Fatt'un

Argos's catchphrase is a bit lazy to say the least "Dont Christmas shop for it...Argos it"........should really more like "Dont Christmas shop at Argos".

Quite like the Vauxhall Corsa ad, the "C'Mon" little teddy-scamp things, a wacky ad that makes you smile!

That Vauxhall advert gets on my nerves but as an advert it works, you certainly remember the product.

Love the M&S christmas one, that girl with the curly hair.. hubba hubba!
