Not so much an advert but a trailer for the TV show Harlots. It’s the woman at the end who has a laugh that sounds like mobile phone interference.
I will double check, but my recollection is that it is a hard surfaced path, contaminated by sand, which is normal near a beach.The latest Amazon advert where the sulky teenager tries to skateboard on a beach is unintentionally hilarious. To me at least. He could have found a more solid surface nearby because even beaches require roads and pavements to access them.

I really like that advert because of that gorgeous redhead in it.I dont know whos in the advert but one male appears to have too many teeth.
The advert with the gay rodents in sounds like it's voiced by Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith. They're definitely characters who wouldn't be out of place in an episode of 'Inside No.9.'There are so many at the moment.
That one with the gay rodents and the washing up roster is possibly the wors. Either that or the bank robbery AA one

The important thing is we've started a discussion about how strange this advert is.Looks like a beach to me?
Albeit one where a production crew has been in and pushed some sand to the side to fill in some pools of water.
Possibly the more irritating thing to me, as someone who used to skate, is the idea that because someone likes skating, they'd take to surfing. Part of skating was actually rebelliousness and these activities have their own subcultures. I don't think I'd have taken to surfing quite as well as the lad in the advert!

The lyrics is actually "I've travelled every road in this here land", not Dixieland according to the subtitles on the ad. I think it's originally an Australian advert for a travel compahy rehashed for a British audience.My eyes may have deceived me, but in a TV advert, a grandfather sings that had travelled every road in Dixieland (which I take to be the area once under the Confederate States in America)....
I can only go off what my ears hear. I am told that there is a Country & Western song that mentions Dixieland that is played to the same musical intonation featuring Willie Nelson and Hank Snow.The lyrics is actually "I've travelled every road in this here land", not Dixieland according to the subtitles on the ad.

I've also noticed the increase in the number of gambling adverts on YouTube. There's one in particular featuring a young lady in a red dress and if I had a quid for every time I've seen it, there'd be no need to gamble!Can I extend this to Youtube? recently, within the last week or so, more than every other advert has been for gambling firms. No idea how the algologs came up wit that, I don't gamble, I won't gamble, so they are simply wasting their money trying to attract my attention.
Most of my watching has been sport based admittedly, but they have started to descend on me since I began to watch anti-MAGA videos/presenters in the last week or so! Surely a coincidence?
Anyway, if anyone knows how to get rid of these pesky and useless adverts maybe to something more appropriate I'd love to learn!
I do on my PC, however you can't block ads on the TV app! Yes, one can run a HDMI cable from the PC to the TV but it means getting out of your comfy chair to move to the next video!If you want to stop seeing adverts on YouTube - use FireFox browser and add uBlock Origin to Firefox.
I do that - no YT ads, bliss!
Great song.Inclined to agree. Video clip of Amazon "Moving Day" follows...
I have been speaking to a professor from Manchester University about this matter and was told that a fully-grown male walrus could reach a weight of 1.5 tons. There have been a number of occasions in the waters of both northern Norway and of Franz Josef Land, where a large male walrus capsized a small motor boat by attempting to haul its bulk aboard. Kayaks used by humans are far easier to sink and there have been many instances of that over past centuries.Does that mean a real walrus did not attempt to board the speedboat?....![]()
