I've just seen a traumatic advert

The saddest bit is that you are right

Presumably Dior believe there are still people around who regard him as "cool", rather than ridiculous and moronic. And that those people use expensive cologne.

Also surprising that they are cool with his legally confirmed status as a beater of women.

[ursus arctos]

He's almost 60

They aren't paying him enough to run

[Benjm]

Catch him! Bite him!

He isn't even running, for goodness' sake.

There's a new Johnny Depp advert for Dior Sauvage Elixir that is jaw dropping in its naffness (not wanting to see him for other reasons aside). Playing an electric guitar in the desert? Why, Johnny, you are sooo cool.

Also the "elixir" creates an unwelcome image of him drinking the stuff, which isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

A reluctance to acknowledge that other places are available seems consistent enough with PlusNet's Yorkshire-centric pitch, off-putting as it is.

[ursus arctos]

Because they have no clue that Dick King-Smith spent almost his entire life in the West Country?

[Hot Orange]

Why do PlusNet think it's only in Yorkshire that people use the phrase "That'll do" in a deliberately understated way?

Didn't know where else to put this - C4 knock it out of the park again for the Paralympics

Not really traumatic (irritating, mind), but I've just watched an Audi advert where the car is shown sedately cruising down a couple of streets while the small print informs me that it's being driven by a professional driver on a closed circuit. Why do I need to be told this? Is it to try and quell the urge to smoothly drive down the road at a moderate speed as to do that kind of thing I would need professional training?

Whoever created that Domino’s yodelling ad campaign may have to be shot dead.

Agreed, however the small lesson in manners at the end is appreciated.

Keep a weather eye on Real Betis Balompié to potentially put the domesticated feline among the feral stock doves.

"FC Barcelona players eat them" says a mother to her carrot-resistant daughter in an ad for an exorbitantly priced fridge.

FC Barcelona, as we all call them in conversation.
I wonder if they'll get the better of Real Madrid CF this year, or will Club Atlético de Madrid S.A.D. manage a repeat?

That new SumUp advert raised quite a smile here. Fair play to them.

[Felicity, I guess so]

I had glimpsed the Cantona ad on FFWD but finally saw it last night, little did I know it was for Cashley and Sports Direct

[Levin]

Also, doesn't it involve a little bit more than surface knowledge about yodelling?

OK. So, ex-Blossom, and "whatever the fck the comedy with science" was, she's gone full-on vitamins endorsing.

She can now, officially, go fuck herself. Probably.

I swear to dog, the next time I hear the phrase "let it rain", and it involves money, I am going to go postal.

Lenor - "Where's The Sun?"

Right up where it don't shine if you don't shut the fuck up with your caterwauling.

Who, when deciding which celebrity to use to flog their TVs, thinks "Jimmy Bullard is your only man "

I struggle to see Proust being a Redditor

Must be a failure of imagination

That's one for Reddit r/OddlySpecific.

All these places carry with them that weird, artificial-bread smell.

From recollection, Wimpy's in Canterbury always used to smell of cigarettes, canned chicken soup and damp overcoats.
