Brownie points for anyone who can come up with a link to the 'We couldn't get Michael Caine, so we'll just use a pair of his glasses and a bloke impersonating him' one.

It wasn't this traditionally, historically, obviously nonPC one? :wink:

Seriously, was it an advert for Hamlet or just in your imagination?

I do remember 'The Baldy Man' advert for Hamlet but I had forgotten this one.

The advert for Fiat with the weird dance moves and am getting sick of seeing Sky advert with Eric Cantona.

That Pantene advert with Cat Deeley doing a 'swisssh' with her hair.
Perhaps some of the guys on this site think differently.

Also that rather unusual girl who does the 'Galaxy' advert where she has a hidden supply of chocolate
in a large box.

There's an annoying ditty on the BBC at the moment about "press a little button" which really annoys me. I press a little button called "mute".

the dfs advert always on practically every advert break no matter what channel you are on,and they always seem to be having a sale that ends soon, the confused.com advert slaughtering queens somebody to love song, the dundee council ad for paying council tax via direct debit and using a penguin cartoon character in the advert who ever heard of a penguin living in a dundee council house and paying council tax!
the annoying ad for paying your tv licence press a little button really annoys me also the one about learning how to work a computer.
trailers on itv1 for new programmes coming soon except that stv wont be showing them so why show the trailers an classic example being downtown abbey which stv didnt show when the rest of the country got it but it is now being shown on itv 3 starting next wednesday at 8pm with two episodes
