Topic: Adverts you hate

So why is it such a wild fucking diversification to make other oral care products? She says it as though she was saying "I didn't even know Ferrari made a haemerroid cream".

I'd be more concerned if Oral B made bum grape cream. Imagine putting that on your toothbrush by mistake.

Imagine someone using your toothbrush to apply it

Quite like watching the horse racing on SKY, every break 'Arry comes on with his Bet Victor ad on about burning his missus crumpets, terrible, and to think they were a sponsor of ours.

[Crosby Nick]

I read that as bumming his missus and wondered how that got past Ofcom.

That ad with Schofield for We Buy and Car (wewillripyouoff,com) How much money does the greedy c*nt need? Shit rip off company and he puts his face to their ads. Twat.

Fucking ell Rob... That's pretty much what I say when it comes on 
Were we separated at birth ffs 

[bradders1011]

"You won't get nearly as good a deal with us, but we'll scam you quickly."

I hope the advert survives as a primary source for future historians studying 21st Century capitalism.

[Nobby Reserve]

The AA one with the Red Dwarf crew.

It's just as unfunny, obvious and over-acted as the series since it was resurrected.

Makes me sad remembering how brilliant it once was.

[So… Howard Philips]

The latest Hotel Trivago one with two women in an exercise class talking about holidays and Trivago's Nellie Knowitall butts in and gives them the benefit of her wisdom.

Nosy cow.

And one of the loan shark companies have a bloke who looks like a bearded UKIP Bootle Meff

The Barclays app pin reminder one, fella can’t remember his 4 digit pin but can remember the 6 digit one that will then give him his 4 digit one

Any shite cheesy advert mentioning the Card of Vanquis.

The ones with the GOT vibe?

If so shite.

Claudia Winkleman in the Head & Shoulders ad.

'As if Claudia Winkleman uses Head & Shoulders'
'What no, why would you say that?'
Pause, stop, think, how much am I getting paid to tell a little white lie?
'Of course I use it'
 

[Frank Becton]

That Nationwide one where the guy calls the girl up at 3 in the morning "I can share sunrises with you" or whatever it is they say.

And the new advert for a bed with that stupid grey cuddly toy thing dancing on the bed to crap music.

[RedGlen]

I'm going to be terribly unoriginal and say - all of them! They rarely have subtitles, which is a weird thing to dislike, given that I prefer to ignore 99.99% of adverts, but not having subtitles just makes me dislike them even more. Why cant deaf people also share in the suffering and subliminal nudges caused by adverts? 

[Casta]

That 'perf with surf' ad boils my piss, and as mentioned above , ' Hello Phillip Schofield here!', and those clusterfucks singing to just eat

Well Jason McAteer was certainly using it in the 1990s.

Yep, that perf with surf ad is terrible! That stupid laugh she does too at the end!!

The bearded clam in the Viagra advert. Beautiful wife, nice house and is a bit too smug.

Aye, without the little blue pill she'd have fooked off long ago and his hipster beard would be soaked with his own salty tears, the floppy dicked gimp.  At least Pele was a football legend.

Then I suppose that's what their Advert is getting at so kudos to the Viagra people.

That's the advert that uses Come Up and See Me (Make me smile).Total sacrilege.

Are the Nationwide ones with the "comedians" on meant to be spectacularly unfunny?

[Frank Becton]

The TUI one with the family dancing on the beach is becoming annoying.

[Barneylfc∗]

The one for Cinch. Annoying as fuck.

Said this before and will say it again.

Who in the name of Titty Christ is in charge of the Nationwide Advertising budget?  Its just one shite campaign after another.  They are obviously not working, as a successful ad campaign usually stays the same theme for at least a few months if not years.  Nationwide are changing it every week in some hope to stumble on a great Ad.

If its not two shit annoying women on a piano doing an appalling rip-off Victoria Wood act,  it's soft fuckers reciting crappy soppy amateur poetry.  Now its "comedians" being unfunny in the desperate hope of flogging us a savings account.

"Nationwide savings - we'll give you a decent interest rate and won't take the piss when the base rate changes."

I'll do it for 20 grand lads.

Are those ads really for Nationwide? I've seen the ones with the soppy twats in the photo booth and I've seen these new ones with the comedians and I had absolutely no clue what they were for until I read this. I have seen one while typing and had to watch it to see - but without this thread I still wouldn't know what it was for.

I've just seen two adverts, one I've very seen before and one I saw for the first time this morning. The first one starts with a little girl asking "Dad, can we get a Happy Meal" so I immediately know it is for McNasty's. The second one was a load of schoolkids in a playground and a monster comes out the school. Its for back to school at George at Asda. End of August, kids in brand new school clothes - all makes you relate to back to school if you are a parent of school age kids. Thats how adverts should work.

I have only seen the phone booth one also, it was one I pointed out a few pages back as one getting on my nerves.

Problem is, come 'end of Augurst', half the places have sold out of half the schoolwear sizes. I hate parents who kit out their cherubs by the the of July and can relax for the rest of the school holidays, whilst normal people hare around from supermarket to supermarket trying to find the right size/colour/collar/sleeve blouses for their daughters, and end up paying full price for Kickers at Schuh because we forgot to hammer Google for reductions and money-off codes earlier in the summer hols.

Eldest lad start grammar school in Sept, so we had to go to a specific shop, missus went nice and early - senior school uniform costs a fucking bomb!!! Youngest is still in primary, so she ordered some new kecks for him from Asda in the next size up ages ago and rest we get from school.

Only thing left is shoes - she insists on Clarkes for some reason and we have to leave it til last minute, so I will get their feet measured next week and then hit the outlet in the Lowry just before they go back - couple of years ago it looked like the shop had been robbed, there was nothing left on the shelves. Last year I walked in, bypassing the massive queue outside where kids were getting their feet measured, grabbed two pairs of shoes and out in 2 minutes.

You could stare as long as you like providing you have earplugs to drown out the know it all prattle.

Recently I saw that one with that scouse lad, he played our local comedy club a while back and he was fucking brilliant! Although I guess the material we'd seen would have had to have been after the watershed.

The 'Just Eat' ads. Horrible, with a low-budget feel to them too.
