Good luck to him.

They're not on price comparison web-sites because:

1. They have to pay commission to the site provider, which costs the customer more;

2. Buying insurance should be about more than simply the price. A garage I know refuses Direct Line customers because DL are such poor and slow payers;

3. It's a free country. Up to them where they promote their services.

The ads aren't bad either; plenty worse about.

Thanks Priest.

Is that your name because you are a clergyman or clergically (!) inclined?

Or are you named after the small club which anglers use to beat their piscine captives to death?

Muppets?

I'm obviously missing something.

He's a successful comedian.

An insurance company offers him a ton of money to take part in its advertising campaign.

He accepts the money and does the campaign.

A few more people buy insurance from that company than might otherwise have done.

Who is the victim?

I'm a victim.

Have to listen to people who think they're funny when they shout "Green army".

What credibility?

He's a COMEDIAN.

Will his sketches be less funny 'cos he's been in an advertising campaign?

Or is he involved in some political / religious / social campaign that has passed me by?

the adverts are woefully unfunny - it taints his reputation, instead of thinking about his work I now consider him the blellend in them appalling adverts - not that I expect he cares particularly

I can take him or leave him.

One of the things I like about Whitehouse as a provider of light entertainment is that he doesn't seem to take himself too seriously.

So seems odd to be having a pop at him just for making a few ads for insurance.

How many lucrative TV advertising campaigns have you yourself been offered and turned down?

Aviva (Norwich Union)....not on comparison websites because they cannot compete...
