TV’s Worst Adverts First Birthday Competition! 2008-03-01 07:27:15 Update
The very speedy Gina has won this competition a mere 45 minutes after I posted it.
So well done to Gina.
There’ll be another competition in a couple of weeks time (one that should run for a bit longer) so don’t worry you can still be in with a chance to win random crap too…

February’s TV’s Worst Advert Award! 2008-02-28 16:53:17 It’s felt like quite a busy month here at TV’s Worst Advert
s with plenty of new stuff to write about.
Most notably I think the Ewan McGregor advert for Davidoff (in which he sells his passion for a bit of smelly) and for the Lynx Chocolate Man advert (in which there’s a man made of chocolate).
Both [...] Read more:February

Clubland Xtreme Hardcore 4 2008-02-26 15:11:29 Note to reader: This ad has been hanging round TWA like a bad smell for some time now without me writing about it. So apologies that it might not be currently shown on TV.
Musical taste is an *xtremely* subjective matter. And I suppose that, just as “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, good [...] Read more:Xtreme
Ewan McGregor - Davidoff Adventure 2008-02-21 15:53:54 Here’s a tale for you…
I found myself on a tedious journey. The scent of car fumes in the air. Leading me further and further into the abyss. Every smell, every step, every sight made me want to go home. Until I found myself in a place where I saw something magnificent… I saw an empty [...] Read more:McGregor

Premier Inn - Big Time with Lenny Henry 2008-02-21 15:37:50 “Hey, I’ve found something small time” Lenny Henry
shouts to his manager.
Much to my amazement, it wasn’t his own reflection in his Premier
Inn hotel room’s bathroom mirror but the bill at reception.
He then pulls a face as if he’s finally crapped out the funniest line he’s thought up in 25 long, mirthless years:
Note to [...] Read more:Big Time
Pedigree - Adoption Drive 2008-02-20 08:02:38 It’s a shit, cruel and wholly unfair world.
Disclaimer: Except not in my house and probably not in yours either. But, I assure you, everywhere else it’s shit and cruel and unfair - I’ve seen it on the tele.
People do terrible things to each other; they will use people, animals and, sometimes, the rain forest to [...] Read more:Pedigree

Tena Lady - Stand Out 2008-02-18 15:45:11 I’d had a post lined for today about Brand Power that I was fairly pleased with but then it was gazumped by the new advert for Tena Lady.
In fact, the Tena advert is so new that I can’t find a copy of it online.
Anyways, although Tena is a little bit snigger-worthy as a topic I [...] Read more:Stand
Lenor - Concentrate 2008-02-17 14:56:42 Did you know that if we all switch to Lenor Concentrate instead of using horrible old bulky Lenor, err, Unconcentrated we could take up to 14,000 lorries off the road each year?
Yep, you’ve guessed it, it’s another bloody “You’re destroying the environment, you bastards!” advert.
Because, you see, the bottles used in Lenor Concentrate are littler… [...]
Peugeot 308 - Inspired by Nature 2008-02-13 07:34:58 The environment is currently the “morality-knife being slowly twisted in our backs” of choice amongst, seemingly, just about everyone working in the media.
You just can’t get away from it.
In fact, there was a time there when every day for about, ooh, 6 years the Independent had a front page story about how we were “destroying [...] Read more:Peugeot

Oral B - Oral B Triumph with Smart Guide 2008-02-11 08:04:12 Back in the middle ages people more than likely had bad teeth. I say “more than likely” because, as usual, I’ve done no research into the facts behind this post.
These bad teeth saw the rise of such nicknames as “Gummy Fletcher” and “Toothless Jim” and popular phrases such as “She’s got a gap in her [...] Read more:Smart

Ford Fiesta - Stupid Dogbot, Clever Fiesta 2008-02-09 09:33:19 I was talking to a friend not so long ago about his future plans. He was debating whether to move away from London to a new, better paid job because leaving the bright lights of the big city would mean leaving his youth behind.
“You’re past 30; I think youth has left you behind” I reassuringly [...] Read more:Fiesta

New To TWA - Just The Adverts 2008-03-15 09:00:43 Regulars might have noticed a few changes on TWA over the past couple of weeks and, come the end of the month, there’ll be a few more as well… ooh, mysterious.
Anyways, just to let you know that I have add a new section called “Just The Adverts
” where you can view - wait for it [...]
TV’s Worst Adverts First Birthday Competition #2 Results 2008-03-20 16:29:18 Sorry for the delay in this result but I’ve been otherwise engaged pebble dashing the inside of our toilet for the past 2 days.
But without further ado - and as I know you have probably all chewed your finger nails off up to the arm pit in anticipation - I’ll let you know the winner [...] Read more:Adverts

TV’s Worst Adverts First Birthday Competition #3! 2008-03-23 16:26:35 Yes, we’re back with a third and final TV’s Worst AdvertsFirstBirthday
Competition!
After the success of the first two competitions I thought it was only fair to see TWA’s first anniversary month out with a bang.
So here it is.
As always, we’ll start with the prizes.

This time you’ll be amazed to hear that [...]
March’s TV’s Worst Advert Award! 2008-03-31 03:49:46 Well, that’s another month over with and what a month it’s been for TWA.
Not only was it our first birthday but this month saw the biggest number of advert haters visiting this humble little blog.
If I’m reading the figures right, and I’m sure I am, nearly 6.5billion unique visitors came along in March
