Not as awful as the 'Radio Station' ones, but pretty close. Bring back that big black guy.

They make them that bad deliberately so that people remember them for it. I'm sure of it
Almost as bad as that at ICS you can.
At ICS you can
At ICS you can

Michael Jackson would be spinnng in his grave repeatedly screaming "hee hee!" in a cold sweat if he saw that ad
If he was alive that ad would've killed him for sure

I recognise one of the people in it. The blond woman with short cropped hair, there is a close-up on her half way through. She was one of the finalists on that Andrew Lloyd Webber show, where they were trying to find 'Dorothy' to star in 'Over The Rainbow'. But I agree, crap advert. They should bring back Howard, or whatever his name is, from the early adverts. He was brilliant!

He became a real frigging diva after his 'fame' according to a couple of journalists I know who interviewed him.

I think the worst ads in history have been McDonalds adverts. They are in the super-heavyweight division of 'bad!'.

Here's another vomit inducing rendition:
I simply can't understand what the ad agency for Halifax is up to. Is it that they think everyone will be tapping their feet at home and saying "Oh look gran, aren't them Halifax folk lovely, just like you and me, not at all like them greedy champagne guzzling, coke snorting hooray Henrys we read about in the news" and then gran gets up and says to everyone, "Come on you lot, get up and let's all do the conga to them loverly 'alifax people", "Ooh gran, you are a one, come on all together now, "we'll be there! we'll be there! just call my name and.........!puke!
Yeah Halifax, I bet you will "be there" when it comes to booting a family out of their house when they've missed a couple of mortgage repayments!
