What even is the Postcode Lottery? Thought it was a term for kids missing out in preferred schools? The normal lottery is confusing enough.

The c*nts are panicking as they've only got 18 more months of ripping people off before that particular cash cow disappears. 30 to 40% of the PPI money for getting some kid on minimum wage to fill out a form that the person owed the PPI could do anyway. Imagine paying a company £7,000 for haiving a kid filling in a form in 2 minutes....

The one I hate is "Insert c*nts name will fight to get you what you are owed" Lying bastards.

I loathe Car adverts but that new Audi advert especially

An excruciatingly slow version of the Scarecrow's song out of Wizard of OZ.

Hate it

I see the artist is a bloke who goes under the name 'Faultline'. He's been associated with Coldplay so that explains it all really.

Been listening to the radio at work a fair bit. Radio ads are terrible. One of Oceann Finance at the moment is bad, plus some other one for something (but vague!) with some woman with an awful voice saying they have 50 of a red dress in stock. Anyone else suffered the pain of that one?

You can claim up to £7000? My brother got £12'500.
So are they saying that they'll take so much commission that you'll never get more than 7 grand?

That £7k was just a figure I pulled out of the air based on the payout our kid got,as they take between 30 and 40% of what you get and a lot of people got large payouts. If your brother had used a PPI firm, then they would have taken between £3500 and £5000 as their cut for doing a couple of minutes work. I got just over £2k, I would have had to pay out over £700 of that if I hadn't done it myself.

I don't watch adverts, ever because I have no wish to be brain washed thank you very much.

Last advert I watched was a little baldy c*nt sitting in a photo booth doing a comb over that would have made Bobby Charlton proud.

Not the thread for it, but there was another good Hamlet one which started off being an Andrex puppy ad. First crossover ad I can think of.

Back on topic - Diet Coke idents for ITVBe

"All the ads highlight spontaneous, impulsive moments from Diet Coke women. They focus on the fun and wit of the Diet Coke drinker and celebrate the camaraderie of the women. Sometimes men are the foil, sometimes not."

https://lbbonline.com/news/dawson-pickering-celebrates-lifes-impulsive-moments-with-diet-coke/

The most feeble collection of impulsive moments that anybody has thought up, let alone put in a script, presented to a client and then gone and shot.

It actually says "Up to £7000" on the advert as well; the robbing bastards

I got £4000 back off ppi from our mortgage

They said we had more chance of getting a mortgage if we took out ppi with it.
We went into the branch and voiced our complaint... 3 weeks or so later a cheque landed on our carpet

That's almost the full English of hated ads, you've just missed off the mushrooms i.e. TUI woman and the fucking you tube sisters.

Generally agree with this, except for the “Royal box” ad. that somehow Paddy Power got away with. That was subversive enough to be funny.

I’ve got into the habit of going through the TV mag and recording anything I might be interested in. The advantage is two-fold. You get to watch an ‘hour long’ programme in 40 minutes, and you don’t have to endure the crap being discussed in here.
(Have to confess I’ve caught the TUI advert a couple of times and as much I absolutely abhor violence to women, there is a tiny weeny little bit of me that does fantasise about giving her gap toothed gob a slap)

The one that's currently chaffing my nuts (which takes some doing, as it's only been on UK TV for about a week), is the one for a certain U.S. beer, that's just silly, silly.

The Sky Sports Nissan advert which they play at every break. The one where the family are running some assault course, covered in shite then just hop in the car and drive off. The face on the woman in the passenger seat has genuinely started to make me turn over now.

Horrific.

On a similar accents related grievance, there’s loads of radio ads of late with grating Manc accents. They’ve obviously decided that’s a good ‘everyman ‘ kind of accent but just puts me off whatever product they’re trying to sell!
