I don't even watch TV anymore, the only times I do is when I'm slacking off at work sitting in the break room, and then I just sit through them.

Nanette Newman, yes, that's her name.  I wonder she's up to now?

Also, the Oxo woman... I've forgotten her name too, but she was in Confessions Of... A Driving Instructor in the 1970s. LOL

A couple of days ago, I was cleaning the showers, and found a small bottle of body lotion that had been left behind.
 
The label said 'Sea Kelp'

Oh Jeez yes - the pseudo science; stick an out of work actor in a white coat & the wobbling masses assume he's a scientist, knows what he's talking about and therefore is one to be taken notice of.

What actually are pentapeptides?

On a toothpaste advert, do we actually need "light adjusted to highlight clinical situation"??



Regenium, anyone? Perhaps some 'Active Liposomes' or 'Absorbant Nanospheres'??

How can you possibly love adverts? They don't even make funny ones any more!
I like the old Fosters and Budweiser and Guiness adverts. But the new ones aren't funny.

I'm sure it was Mark Ratcliffe... I even remember him commenting on it, I'm sure!

Perhaps I'm wrong.  I'll Giggleswick it.

Infact, I've seen dubbed adverts for English products... like that Credit Card lot... their early adverts were always dubbed.
Or the Churchill ads were they used a Vic Reeves sound-a-like that sounded nothing like him.

There's so many sucky commercials out there, not to mention dubbed ones. Oh, I hate those!

Of course, if it's well made and at least adds some interesting stuff in it, then it's watchable, but also they get weared out after a while. I usually talk to the people I am with or change channel though, and if im in my room I just play some drums in the meantime.

This is a party political broadcast by the RIO/Avant-Prog team:

You all need to listen to Henry Cow!

That was a party political broadcast by the RIO/Avant-prog team.

Yes, I can see that is quite annoying, actually. LOL
