Nah it's not you. I think it comes from the fact he's in an Iceland advert

If you were surrounded by Kerry Katona and Coleen Nolan and all those kids, wouldn't you look hunted

I certainly would... not that you'd be able to see my expression for all the foetal-position-whimpering-in-the-corner I'd be doing.

Also you can see that "Have-I-Really-Been-Reduced-To-This" look in his eyes too

Woo-ooh I'm in the mood for dancing.

So I do the the Nolans, I can handle it. *snif*

Never mind the ad, bloody "Lose Women" is low rent enough!

Actually JAG used to be shown on CH5 s they bought it pretty quickly thinking it'd be huge and it wasn't.
For those wonder who the heck Bellisarius is, he also wrote Airwolf and Quantum Leap.

Saw the Ferrero Roche advert last night, now I know it's really Christmas.
What was wrong with that classy Mr Ambassador ad anyway?

So I'm at this do and this attractive woman comes up to me and takes my hand,
"You're Mistadrong!!"

Keep your off myyou!

Ah, my newest annoying ad would be the new one for Crunchy Nut Cornflakes where the guy in order to protect his packet of £2.70 breakfast cereal opens his laptop bag and shields himself from the rain with his £300+ laptop.

What an utter twonk. (And other words I can't use in polite company.)

He's a crunchy 'nut'

and that is rather the whole point of the ad

I can't help feeling that there are people out there who would probably think
it's a good idea.

Well if they're that stupid...

Taking into account the kind of tv programmes we get these days I can't help
feeling that there are a whole lot...

Ok, 2 more that are currently annoying me are VW's Matrix style advert where the engineer fights with several different versions of himself and the Thompson Holidays advert where they "build" an island.

Oh, and that annoying singing cat in the Readers Digest advert trying to spoof Gilbert & Sullivan.

"the Thompson Holidays advert where they "build" an island."

Haven't seen it but aren't travel companies really struggling with the growth of the internet? Isn't their strategy to make out that they 'build' you holidays? I seem to recall that their staff are now "Travel Designers" ...

The IAMS cat. Well, not the cat as such, but the doorbell that goes off half way through the commercial.

Why???????

it's the guy's voice in that. So freakin' smug. That stuff costs a fortune and Pippin the Wonder Cat won't eat it.

That voice is Leslie Phillips

Thanks - it was on the tip of my tongue. I don't have a problem with him or his voice, generally, just that smug cat.
