Well, no, I suppose he has to run a few steps first.

In terms of the pure annoyance factor, it has to be John Cleese in those AA insurance adverts.

The fact that the ad is on the back of a dirty bus a few inches above the exhaust would subconsciously put me off more than the bloke in the Ad.

I would put it (cricket, not just 'throwing a cricket ball') pretty high up. But then I know a thing or two about it.

Jimmy Carr recently spent a day as a "barista" in Starbucks. What a sellout.

Bill Hicks - "Do a commercial, you're off the artistic roll call, every word you say is suspect, you're a corporate whore and eh, end of story."

Wow. Does 'doing stuff out in the sun' require gender-specific "Advanced Nutrition" these days?

Tim Lovejoy's pasta add was the worst. Under different circumstances I would have felt sorry for him... but he's a ####.

His agent clearly thinks he is one too.

I think I can beat that (or match it). Lenny Kravitz "designed" sushi.

Extra marks for having his name included TWICE in it too.

btw nothing wrong with a sportsman endorsing a health/fitness product. Pace bowling is hardcore punishment amd Jimmy Anderson is a fine athlete.

I expect the conversation went something like:

"Hello Mr Anderson, can we use your image to increase our profits? Here's a big pile of money"

"Big pile of money? Yeh, ok, whatever"

This. He manages to woo a very attractive female with a student meal and despite acting like a complete ####.

Michael Schumacher doing L'Oreal adverts back in the nineties was amusing.

The Welsh rugby player that did the cash for gold ad, can't rememeber his name as just call him cash for gold now.
He probably lives down the the road and is going to come a thump me now 😳

For me, it has to be johnny rotten flogging marg.
Lee Byrne doing an ad for some ropey cash for gold outfit was pretty poor too.

Where would you put it? Pace bowling is severely harsh on the body.

This thread is at risk of turning into a "golf isn't a real sport" / "football is a game not a sport" type arguement*.

Only the lazy ****less British could make standing around in a field for 5 days a 'sport'.

(*both of which I agree with).

Bill Hicks quotes deserve their own Godwin's Law type rule where anyone who quotes them is identified as frozen in the sixth form.

Have the British made such a sport? I am unaware of one.

The current Figo ad for Just For Men* is gruesome.

*I goggled the product since the ad was so bad it'd escaped me.

Why is he holding a bat when he is being advertised as a bowler?

prob because having him holding his balls wouldn't be a healthy image 😉

because during the game of cricket, bowlers also need to bat.

Possibly the strongest fail in weeks on here.

If only there was a vegan cricketer who could be eulogised as the perfect image of man....! 😉

Greg Chappell's vegan I think...

He's also Australian though, so you might want to bear that in mind.
