He's very annoying on Something for the Weekend. Not as annoying as the fact that Louise Redknapp wears very unflattering clothes. Not even a hint of clevage ever!

The girl in that ad is a bit spesh, though
and well out of lovejoy's league. He lost all my respect when he went to talking about f***ing cooking and not football. It's like my best mate turning into my wife. ****.

That WSC article is brilliant.
Chopped into “chapters” that barely fill a page, in a font size usually associated with books for the partially sighted, Lovejoy on Football is part autobiography, part witless musing, and one more triumph for the crass stupidity rapidly replacing culture in this country. Hopelessly banal and nauseatingly self-assured, smirkingly unfunny, it’s a £300 T-shirt, a piss-you-off ringtone, a YouTube clip of someone drinking their mate’s vomit. Its smugness is a corollary of its vacuity. I hope it makes you sick.

Whatever he's on, he makes me want to punch the TV screen, the smug, self-satisfied, wannabe-geezer SPONG.

Only job done if it associates the product with the brand, and I can't for the life of me think who he was advertising for.

Well instead of talking football like he did when he was on socceram he now talks cooking as he is now on a cooking program. My best mate talks football and my wife talks cooking. Do you see?

Yes, but he was a complete idiot when he was on Soccer AM as well. Just because he is presenting a shit cookery program instead of a shit football program (sorry, was never a fan of Soccer AM) doesn't make him any more or less of a complete knobjockey. It's his ridiculous ego, stupid wannabe wideboy mannerisms and general twatiness that do that.

Easy to blame him but I think I'd rather blame the people who employed him in the first place.

Some great comments about this on a website called bitterwallet.com:
“Isn’t it just the shittest advert ever?”
“Tim Lovejoy makes me want to spunk drawing pins”
“What you do that for?”
“That’s so bad it’s almost offensive.”
“Saw that on the idiot lantern yesterday. Didn’t realise it was Lovejoy, just thought it was some random cock end.”
“I just watched it. I hate you now.”
“I just vomited all over myself. Intentionally. Now I might step on a discarded rake & hit myself in the face. Intentionally.”
“I wouldn’t piss up Tim Lovejoy’s arse if his kidneys were on fire.”
“Sweet holy shit….”
“Oh great, now I’ve watched that fecal sod of an advert I want to scoop my eyes out and hurl them at the wall.”
I particularly like the phrase 'idiot lantern' to describe the telly. I think I'm going to adopt that.

Oh I see that. but that's total shite. Someone here (below) gets what I'm on about...
Besides, I talk football AND cookery. So your point is...?

If you refer to my original statement, I am stating an opinion that is I have lost respect for a guy that used to talk about football but now chooses to talk about cooking. That is it.
Now f***ing drop it already.

I knew exactly what you were on about. I queried what you were saying because I just couldn't believe anyone wold be dumb enough to post on an public internet forum that they had any respect for Tim Lovejoy just because he used to talk about football.
Evidently you did. Blimey.

I don't mind him and just watched the ad and, yeah, it is naff, but not half as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Oh, I get that, never heard of that pasta company before I saw the goon on my screen, and even though I can't remember the name now either, I'm sure next time I'm in Tesco I'll see it and recognise it.
Still won't buy it, however, on principle
I'll skate to that.

He lost all the respect I had for him. It went from very very little to zero.
