I like the Specsavers ads.

I do not like the men in shorts and high heels twerking and I'm with you, Magpie, I can't even remember what the ad is pushing.

We always turn the sound off during any advertisements, except the odious men in shorts (can't bear to look at that)so at least we don't have to listen to what can only be described as idiotic junk!!

There seem to be two types of advertisements:

Crude - in your face, shock value

Ones that are so convoluted and 'clever' that whatever they are selling is lost in the arty farty presentation.

Oh for the good old days of truly funny adverts.

The advertisement with the blokes in shorts and the builders is just horrible, really vulgar and downright disgusting. I've no idea what's being advertised as we always turn it over for the duration! It's just vile and I can believe there haven't been complaints leading it to being pulled.

There are some really buttock clenchingly cringeworthy adverts on the telly at the moment. The one I hate most is the one where two groups of men, one group wearing tight fitting blue shorts, have what appears to be a dance-off with a group of builders. Another has a man sitting on the toilet with his pants down around his ankles. I don't know what they are trying to sell us, as I have to look away. Any other suggestions?
