What the actual fuck? :|


It wouldn't happen to be this one would it?

Aye, that's the one. Load of pretentious old shite if you ask me.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

Yeah, what's a chameleon got to do with changing energy providers?

Have to say that 'Squarespace' advert with Idris Elba (Luther) is a strange one.
Like Idris but not the advert.

Warner Leisure Hotels, where the waiter chap brings the two women a posh cocktail with an umbrella and a slice of pineapple in it.
As he's carrying it, the pineapple slice brushes against a palm frond.

Nope! Boak! Take it back! You don't know what's been happening to the palm leaf.

The McDonalds advert for the new burger which is 'not available in America'.
I doubt anyone would care about such things.

That "100 years of Tesco" ad bothers the hell out of me.

Firstly, the casting director needs a boot up the arse for hiring an actress that looks nothing like Anneka Rice from the back.

Secondly, why is Chas (Morph's sidekick) buying a tube of toothpaste? He doesn't have any teeth!

And it gets worse! In a slightly edited version of the ad, Chas now takes a tub of them Aerial pod things out of his shopping basket. He doesn't wear any clothes! The feck does he need laundry detergent pods for?
