The Worst Ad of 2008? – You Decide
12 December 2008 by SilkyYes, it’s that time of year when every second rate, written by idiots, advertising publication runs it’s “Worst Advert of 2008″ poll.
This year TWA is offering you 10 fine choices for worst advert of 2008 from the TV’s Worst Adverts hilarious archive.
But rather than a panel of luminaries from the World of Advertising picking the top 10 for you to vote on, I showed the adverts to my dog and used the howl-ometer to get the finalists. I guessed it was probably just the same.
Anyways, here’s what he’s picked for you:
- Slim Fast – Fruity Tootie
- Davidoff – Adventure with Ewan McGregor
- Ford Focus – Beautifully Arranged
- L’Oreal – Pierce Brosnan
- HSA – Hey Just Say
- Garnier Nutrisse – Davina McCall
- Acorn Stairlifts
- Coors Light – Hear Me Now!
- DFS – Nickleback Rockstar
- Kelloggs – Dame Kelly Holmes
Just in case the full horror of the adverts haven’t been forever burnt onto your retinas I’ve very kindly linked to their TWA entry.
So you’ve no excuse not to vote now, have you?
Voting will close, rather arbitrarily, at Midnight on December 27th and I’ll let you have the result before the New Year.
So, get voting!

“Dame” Kelly fucking Holmes by far. Smug bitch.
Anyway, THE worst adverts this year are not the new ones, but still the same old crap they keep repeating from 5 years ago – like Accident Helpline / Blame Direct – cornier pieces of shit you will not see.

What about that Compeed one with the girls dancing? And the mousier one texting (texting? From 3 feet?) her about the compeed she’d slipped into her bag. Couldn’t find it on Youtube or I would have submitted it.
