Take it away Frank...

Just a teeny bit paranoid, no?

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

Advertising can't "make" you do anything you don't want to. Of course, if you do want to, you'll do as you're told*

Me ? Paranoid ?

Who whispered that ?   

It has an influence over people. Surely you can't disagree with that ?

And it's always nice to have an excuse to post a bit of Frank.

Those two silly tarts allegedly sisters singing to a stupid song.

I just came on here to post that. My other half has to listen to me describe new, inventive ways for them to die every time the advert comes on. They are my kryptonite

Same here, last time it came on I said to my other half I would have to bury them under the patio given the chance, she replied with yeah, with "twats buried here" in neon lights on a sign.

Aren't they a YouTube 'sensation'?

Yep and probably adored by dizzy, single 30-something women who cant get a proper job so tag themselves with bullshit titles like 'Lifestyle blogger'.

Lifestyle Blogger FFS.  Heard that the other night on a quiz show. Samantha is 33 from Epsom and is a lifestyle blogger.  Pah!

[Frank Becton]

The Alfie Boe 'Fisherman's Friend' advert is getting on my nerves now, which I suppose given he is from my home town and advertising a home town product it shouldn't, but I still can't stand it.

Haha i was thinking about this thread the last time I saw that same advert. I doff my cap to you Frank,

Alfie Boe the big theatre luvvie wouldn't go anywhere near a Fisherman's friend in real life.  He'd have a fleet of aspiring understudies shipped to his dressing room during the intermissions who then proceed to tickle his throat with ostrich feathers and rub expensive oriental balms into his chest.

Ha Ha spot on mate - what is worse I did a favour for my Dad today who still lives in Fleetwood, I am a few miles up the road, and had to drive past the Factory and just reminded me further of the horrible advert.
That smirk he puts on at the end is just cringeworthy.

[The Bournemouth Red]

It's probably been mentioned already, but the credit score advert with the dog repeatedly asking "what choo doin'?", then saying "better score, better deal".

"What choo doin'?, what choo doin'?"  Well dog, I'm just getting a sack and half a dozen house bricks, we're going for a walk by the river...

[Big Red Richie]

^^^   +1    Fooking hate those adverts, especially the bit with the wife string into space and making some benal comment totally unrelated to the actual advert.

[J_Kopite]

Had to bump this thread due to the new Diet Coke advert with the new age creepy bint in the newsagents - life’s short, have a Diet Coke! “because I can” faaaaaaaack off

[Rysoph76]

All the Vodafone ads with Martin Freeman in. Something about him just does my head in and the adverts are fucking stupid

[El Lobo]

The Nationwide one with the two unfunny bints singing stupid songs

And the one with the cat offering the puuuurrrrrfect TV and the puuuuurrrrrrrfect toaster, all for only 1029% APR.

[Ziltoid]

Ziltoid has to earn a living you know.

I've just seen this you utter, utter twat

[Dench57]

Those two utterly detestable women in the Nationwide adverts, one of the most irritating in recent memory

They should have their own thread, it seems this ad is universally despised.

[Frank Becton]

The booking.com 'Magnus's Story' is really getting tiresome now.

Ahh good old Magnus, the inoffensive Scandie Hipster casually mooching around Uganda and throwing up on the sides of their streets.

Unfortunately, they cut the film at the end where he was hacked to death by the Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army.

Being off work sick you get to see how fucking depressing daytime adverts are. Every ad break its either some c*nt trying to get you to take a loan from a loan shark at over 1000% APR, over 50 have you planned your funeral or that smary c*nt Martin Clunes asking have you made a power of attorney yet? Just fuck off you c*nts

I would question the suitability of an employee of Booking.com who says he's in Uganda, but doesn't know where.

I quite like it because it reminds me of Magnus Ver Magnusson

[Ziltoid]

Been said before but the TUI ones. Awful, and the singer's voice is terrible. Every aspect so grating.

I can forgive them because i like the lass on there quite a lot

[Dr. Beaker]

The Volvo one, where you see the beautiful sleek Volvo with absurdly pretentious voice-over by some bird. It's even more shit on the radio because there is only the pretentious bollocks, with no picture of a nice car to look at.

[butchersdog]

The TUI advert with the girl who has the whole hotel and seemingly entire universe revolve around her while her boyfriend lurks in the shadows/off camera like some sort of afterthought. Can't stand that advert.

The Nationwide ones, as many others have said, incredibly annoying. Someone needs to tell the blonde woman the strange egg timer/shaker isn't a musical instrument in the same league as a piano.

Also, the advert for Oral B with the Arnie style dentist, "my gums are sore, but no need to worry, right..?" " WRONG!")

Think they’re a bit of a chicken and egg situation. I had the misfortune to (briefly) work for one of those companies who advertised heavily on daytime channels. I think advertising cost is obviously a lot cheaper compared to primetime and their ‘target audience ‘ (shudder) were obviously well represented.

Pretty bleak rotation of adverts though as you say. The final insult for me was being made redundant by them, job hunting from home on day one, stuck SSN on and I see my former company advertising their tat on their within seconds.

Conscious I’m sounding very Partridge here. “Needless to say, I had the last laugh”.

[Crosby Nick]

I think I once had a brief encounter with a girl like that. Not a beautiful European brunette, someone who’s eyes were like that screenshot.

How has this absolute steaming pile of shit not been mentioned?!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jZtEXMBbaZg

Nescafé, For the moments that matter. It’s fucking dreadful, up there with one of the worst I’ve ever seen what’s with all this emotional advertising at the moment. Cadbury one is awful as well.

This always plays at the cinema. Hate it.

[Lycan]

Those nationwide adverts with those two 'sisters' singing really shit songs out of tune.

[armchair-fan]

Be careful, the Police are apparently investigating you!

I have to say, it is the worst advert that doesn't involve James Corden I have seen in years.  They are like Victoria Wood without the jokes

[AndyMuller]

I hate the Trivago adverts but the woman is decent.

That's the way they draw you in. Attractive but not over the top, a little bit girl/woman next door.

[killer-heels]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but that Nationwide advert.

Anyway, I think Nationwide are trolling everyone now because they have done more adverts with those two ladies doing different songs.

They're bad adverts, but that's a bit extreme.
