If I were to post what I thought of someone who was seriously considering closing a savings account on the basis that they didn't like the TV advert I would have to give myself a yellow card

The singing sisters. Christ that is the stuff threesome nightmares are made of.

The Halifax ones as well with the cartoon characters. Top Cat gets a loan for a dustbin - well good luck getting a mortgage on a movable house. Probably half the reason they got into the s*** in the first place - lending to unemployed cartoon cats and stoners with their dogs.

In fact come to think of it any bank advert. Here's an idea, why not show a clip of a branch at lunchtime without every window being shut as the staff are on a lunch break.

Oh and that and the bloke on the death plan adverts. *****

This made me laugh, hol cartoon advert rant meets 2008 crash facts.

Bravo

Dilly dilly very silly

Footie is the only program that I watch live as I record everything else just so that I can flick over the adverts.

I did manage to catch this advert once and very silly it is too. I didn't realise that the words actually meant something until I Googled it on reading your post.

That is one of the most annoying adverts I've seen in a long time. And I've never heard anyone, no matter how deranged, say "Dilly dilly" to mean "Amen" or "'sright".

Far too many adverts pretend to be hilarious with the lamest of one-liner endings or by getting celebrities to commit the most cringeworthy of finishes. I can only assume that scriptwriters for such ads do their work during a five minute tea break e.g. car insurance companies can hold their heads in shame.

Two tickets and double your money is deliberately misleading, isn't it not? Two tickets might give you twice the chance of winning one prize, and also the same probability squared of winning two prizes, but then again if everyone else takes up the same offer then you actually have the same proportion of the total ticket allocation as you would have had without the promotion, so your chances of winning are the same. Or actually less, if there are enough people stupid enough to believe the bollocks and therefore more people buying the tickets who otherwise wouldn't have.

It's very easy for organisations selling betting, lottery and similar "services" to take advantage of popular misunderstandings around the mathematics of probability and the so-called law of averages.

They reckon that Griff Rhys-Jones and his cringeworthy behaviour in the Vauxhall Zafira ads a few years ago actually cost them sales as people didn't want to be portrayed as bumbling idiots like him

Indeed. I do wish more advertising agencies would realise that all they are achieving is to embarrass their clients.
