But while we unanimously concur with the old cock consensus, that hasn't stopped us knocking together this list of 10 in-game adverts that we think would actually work for one tenuous reason or another. Check 'em out...

The tissue one took me a second, mostly because I found those games more irritating than anything else.

The Excedrin one, though. Yeah. Definitely could get behind that one.
