Just a couple of days after the shocking partial breast revelation revelations in Beyoncé’s Heat perfume advert, the BBC have news of an advert that’s even more sickening – the John Lewis Christmas 2010 Advert:
So far the advert above has drawn nearly 150 complaints to the ASA and, that ‘m... Comment - Like

I must confess that I didn’t actually see Beyoncé’s Heat perfume advert – in which you can see *part* of Beyoncé’s breast for a second or two! Ding dong! - on TV before it was banned but fortunately all 14 members of the Sister Mary Chastity Society (East Grinstead Chapter) did.

You know what it’s like: you’re a young guy, home alone, with just a Nintendo Wii and your 3 band mates for company. And with a little time, and presumably a lot of lube, on your hands it’s only natural that you’d hold a Wanking Olympics.
We’d all do the same.
But even so, it’s a littl... Comment - Like

Here’s one of life’s greatest puzzles – How do you increase your market share in the meal solutions category among “Hedonistic Urbanites”? Hmm, it’s a toughie, I think you’ll agree.
Well, those fearless souls at Giovanni Rana are having another crack at solving it.

It’s getting close to that time when we like to look back on the events of the year and package them up into glib top 10 lists.
Nowhere is that truer than here at TV’s Worst Adverts – not least because it means I don’t actually have to write any new content for the site. But, as you’ll un... Comment - Like

Whilst I was on my extended sabbatical it seems it’s become accepted fact that the Yeo Valley advert – Come on, you must have seen it! The one with the Yeo Boyz and featuring Lil Massey. No? Really? – is the “Bestest advert on tele, yeah, since the one with, like, the drumming monkey in it,... Comment - Like

RED Driving School has previous on TV’s Worst Adverts. A post that has drawn some pretty angry reader comments about the company (have you people not read the comments policy?).

I had a Holland’s Pie the other day and although it was, as some might say, proper tasty there was one negative, the pastry had a really long ginger hair in it. Now where on Earth could that have come from?
Not really, that’s all lies. I never even seen an ‘Olland’s Pies pie.

If you locked an infinite number of ad executives in a room for an infinite amount of time, would one of them eventually understand the concept of “dumb luck”?

What’s a mildly less soul destroyingly shit way to spend an evening than watching a “sit-com” performed in mime?
That’s right, it’s Wink Bingo!
Anyone fancy a wager as to how many times the words “Wank Bingo more like!” are going to be left in the comments? Comment - Like

Maybe this says more about me than about anything else, but when I saw the very classy and exceedingly well made advert for a new mobile service, Car Spotter, I couldn’t help but think:
“Want to know how much the car you’re about to rob is worth? Then text us now!”

Just For Men have previous when it comes to making fucking awful tv adverts.
But I’ve always been a fan of bullies who play on the irrational, insecurities of others by pushing a lie in a calous attempt to manipulate them which is why I enjoy this advert so:

Jesus has very kindly taken some time out from being “the son of God” and all that to submit this bad ad:
Obviously, this advert is knowingly and deliberately awful – much like the Pot Noodle itself – but it’s on all the time which, as Jesus puts it, make watching again:

Virgin Trains have always traded on the sniggering schoolboy-ish thought that you’ll be “riding a virgin to Chipping Norton and back” but I’ve just sat open-mouthed watching an edited version of this advert for Virgin Trains – with that Robyn Addison from Survivors in it – in which the 3...

Here’s another lovely bad ad submitted by Matthew:
Remember being a teenager… *sigh* those were the days.
Wait, no they weren’t! For the socially inept and unattractive it was bloody awful.

There aren’t many things that will get a policeman simulating oral sex in the street these days – except, of course, for the sight of a Tunnocks Caramel Wafer lorry:

I think we can all agree that nothing evokes the spirit of the Swinging 60′s more than the film “The Italian Job” and the preservation of wood.
Which is why whenever I hear Cuprinol’s version of “The Self Preservation Society” song – from that quintessential 1960′s film – with it... Comment - Like

I had a bowl of Oatibix once – but not at a roadside cafe, obviously, because they don’t serve Oatibix.
Although eating it didn’t make me repeatedly sing the chorus to My Sharona with two of my simpering mates, I did below the hits of Marilyn Manson down the toilet bowl latter that day.
