Bold Rover Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I just saw two on the telly at my gym. One for something called smart insurance where the guy picks up the phone and arranges life insurance there and then - would anyone actually do that? Then one for "ancestry DNA." You can send them a sample of your saliva and they'll tell you if you're related to Genghis Khan etc. How sinister is that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLip69 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Shpock I tweeted a comment saying "Shpock was what the Vulcan would have been called if Sean Connery had played Captain Kirk" They tweeted back to say it meant SHop in your POCKet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that kind of defence, they'll be selling tickets to the trademark infringement case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 The quaker oats ad with buzz Aldrin must be the most tenuous celeb endorsement going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeefc1783 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The Yaris advert where a lassie thinks it's fine to potentially give her mate a terminal illness in the form of skin cancer just because her mate dropped something in her car. Do you get skin cancer from fake tan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I get the impression I'm missing the point of these Marks & Spencer ads with Santa's wife. Why are people writing to her in the first place? Has Santa dingied their request because they're on the naughty list or something? All seems a bit passive-aggressive for Mrs Claus to be undermining the old man's work IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
