This is Melsy's post.And I am in full agreement with it.Those are the worst ads on TV.Sorry Melsy for swiping your post.==
Here I go again! TV ads...Is there anyone agree with me about two ads I can't stand. Mind you, I do switch off now when they come on.
The first being the guy that licks the remote control and then gives it back to his wife.
The second being, advertising the world rugby cup about being a camera man...can't we do better than have an american to advertise this?

Maybe I just posted my comments on the wrong site. Posted them on grizzle. Get confused at times with all these threads...does being blonde an an Oz rectify this!

Well Warner may have plenty of something but I doubt its brains.
My vote for worst ad goes to that screaming yank advertising the World cup

I'm still trying to figure out if Ive seen the one youre talking about Mona with the remote control.

I have to agree with Mona. That Ad with the guy licking the remote control is the pits. It makes me sick to see an adult acting like a spoilt child. What do our grand-children think when they see such disgusting behaviour? Doe's anyone know who to complain to about ads on TV?

Ocker
When you mention ads about dying, would one be about two young guys after an accident....'what are you looking at, stop looking at me..? that is pathetic.

If you wish to complain about anything shown on TV, and I guess that would cover adverts, contact Broadcasting Standards Authority
http://www.bsa.govt.nz
then click on Make a complaint.
And, yes, I agree that guy licking the remote is disgusting.

I think the ones Ocker is talking about melsey1 is the ads for buying funeral insurance. 
I agree that fatty going on about double this and that. Another is about a toilet seat that closes by itself, and the man is on his knees panting like a dog.
We have no issues with that, both lids go down. When I want to use the toilet up goes one lid, and if he wants to use it up go the two lids.
The loud Harvey Norman and others get on my t*t too.
