I see Gocompare.com is now Go.compare as if that makes the adverts any better.

I do like the McDonalds advert with Ferris Buller theme tune.

Oh God yeah.

Bugger off!

And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

Domino's pizza with the three guys on yer stereotypical desert island talking about what food they miss.

One of them does the "Domino's yodel" and a delivery guy shows up on a jetski.

Those Ant and Dec bank adverts don't seem to be getting any more impressive.

Much like the duo themselves.

That’s the great British public for you, build them up and knock ‘em down, personally BBC/ITV/Sky could do with getting some fresher and cheaper talent in,even Morecambe & Wise went on too long!

Same could be said about Mick Jagger, Elton John and countless other oldies, move over!

Don't much like the Tesco advert where man is stuck down a well and the trolley has to go and get help.

Call me suspicious if you wish, but I can't help but feel Carl the Wombat (from the Meerkat ads) is up to something.

I think he's secretly a serial killer, and is trying to bump off poor wee Sergei.
