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? |

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. |

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!! |

Let's face it. Most of us on here have older teenage or adult children. What we find distasteful could be hilarious to the younger age group. Our tastes are different. |

Most programs I record so I can fast forward the adverts. |

Not keen on the group of builders and men in shorts but I do like the ones where they just have one of each or one on his own. |

I think it's only JD if someone actually buys something courtesy of an advertisement! I never have! My two granddaughters aged 16 and 13 think the men in shorts are just plain embarrassing, and yukky! Is it supposed to be amusing?!! Oh right!!! |
