ITV 4 ads - worse than being thrown into a barbed wire fence

After a week am getting really hacked off so am thinking of alternative slogans.

Stella Cider - it's not wife beater - its la famme beateur (adopt clouseau accent)

Boardman bikes "when I ate that Spanish steak I knew I'd have a problem in the morning with the drugs lab"
"when the team had to lift me off the bike, I knew a mechanic had overdone the superglue on my seat post"

various ambulance chasing lawyers "Been injured by a TV car driven by a moron? Ring our no obligation helpline"

any more?

    Been enjoying watching the last 5 minutes of all the re-runs of Quantum Leap.

    Oh boy.

    "I always wondered what the second and third steps on the podium were for."

    Did Chris not baulk at these catch lines when he read the script? Come on, the guy has less integrity than Jordan. And I don't mean Michael.

    I like the Evans ad, my girlfriend is featured in the video climbing a hill on the KOTD ride. She's a tiny spec of a thing in a loud pink jersey. I want to call Evans for the video and surprise her with it, she's not see it yet.
    When a cyclist has a disagreement with a car; it's not who's right, it's who's left.

    Any ads pee you off when you watch the same show ten days in a row. At least we haven't half naked cyclists in sidi adverts.

    And I think Hoogerland would argue about your title.

    I would just like to say.. here in Asia, Eurosport has ad breaks, but no ads showing! They just have their promo piece "All Season Long" showing lots of cool cycling clips from the season accompanied by cool music... Dont know if they show that in Europe.... At least this year no stupid Ginger Winger and his Transitions... Ich Bin Tyler Duracell

    For all those watching on Eurosport you can add the next line..

    "In the heart of Eurasia..."

    "Too much for a 30 second commercial..."
  • I quite like the Skoda one.

    But guys, get a hard drive recorder and watch it later, or 'live' with a 15 minute delay or so.

    I got one two years ago PURELY to skip through the endless and lengthy ITV4 ads on the Tour. Well worth it! :)

    Jacomo! Clothes for fatties, advertised heavily during a sport renowned for the whippet-like stature of its athletes.

    That turtle faced bint needs a slap (well, according to my Wife, she does!).

    Dreadful adverts. Didn't even register with me that they were for Halifax.

    Ginger winger - like it. Thanks to dickie branson's V+ box, I come home from work to 4hr 30mins of ad-free awesomeness, only partially spoiled by Sean's dronings. WTF is prickled wire?

    I do this with everything now, a 1 hour slot on ITV can't have more than 35mins of content. Think how many hours of your life you can save by not watching this sh!te.

    Oh I don't know, that Lynx shower gel one has its merits. I have been known to skip through the boring cycle race coverage just to get back to that ad ;)

    Skoda Add is decent, other than that, turd. I avoid them now by pausing it untill quarter past 7, then i can fast forward the add's, and it still finishes in time for Eastenders 8) :oops:

    Sadly, I actually quite fancy the lass in that advert. I think I could have a lot of fun with a girl with a neck that flexible! :twisted:
