Topic: Adverts you hate

[PaulF]

Sounds a bit too European.

I'd happily buy a twenty four carat gold plated farthing and thru'penny bit set. Fond memories of my pocket money days when you could buy proper Smarties, the Hostspur and a Jublee and still have change.

Nice spot. Apparently it's Austrian money.  Every day's a school day round here.

[Buck Pete]

brilliant

Yep funny

[Keita Success]

Anyone seen this ad? Not an ad I hate at all, quite the opposite.

You need the Ads You Actually Like thread.

Not a telly advert: the one at Vue cinemas with John Boyega to turn your phones off. It lasts about 3 minutes and it's before every film I've seen there in 3 years.

This metal detector guy on the Nationwide advert

The way he looks at the camera at the end like he's revelling in your laughter after a poorly told shite joke does my head in

[Nobby Reserve]

Specsavers hearing aid one.

An old guy doing some shit dancing (to music that he can now presumably hear) in his living room.

I'm sure some will think "Ah, that's cute... and old man dancing in a living room" but I just find it uncomfortable and cringey.

This has reminded me of that weird life insurance (what else?) ad with the elderly couple dancing really badly around their living room.

[Buck Pete]

The one that was on a few months back with the lanky bearded guy dancing around after he has discovered the "blue pill"

He waltz's down the stairs and shimmies into the kitchen.  Twirls his wife around etc

I wish Grifter still posted on here to give his analysis on it.

[So… Howard Philips]

Wasn't he in his dressing gown? Looks the type to wear black socks when he's on the job as well - an utter bastard.

And his lady was way out of his league, so yes an utter bastard 

[WhereAngelsPlay]

The Vinted one that has the twat with the beard in it "It's my turn",bet the c*nt has been saying that all his life.

Just looked that one up. He has a particularly obnoxious and effected beard, the utter twat.

That's the fella. Boxer shorts with pictures of Homer Simpson on too probably.

he reminds me of Pirlo

And voted Brexit. And parks in disabled spaces because 'why should they get special treatment?'

Just seen the first Christmas advert, from Very. That can fuck off if they're intending on doing that for 2 months.

I saw that the other day

Went in B&M today, Christmas music playing

Missus is not happy, the new John Lewis adverts has destroyed together in electric dreams, slowed down to a funeral march.

The advert is shite too

Just checked it out and from your post I just knew it would feature a whiny female vocal.  Destroyed the track is being kind.  Turned it off almost immediately.

Turns out the singer is Lola Young.  Saw her on Jools Holland a few nights ago as it happens.  Yet another angst ridden Amy Winehouse, Adele hybrid, taken straight off the "Girl who strums a guitar" conveyer belt.

[El Lobo]

It'll be interesting to see what gets a whiny, acoustic cover first for a Xmas advert. A novelty record like Bob the Builder, or some thrash metal band.

Could see Freak on a leash being the John Lewis one next year

[Tesco tearaway]

I'd like to see a whiny version of the Angelic Upstarts hit "Fuck off and leave me alone"

Anything with Ca Plane Pour Moi by Plastic Bertrand. Awful song, lazily used in quirky adverts.

Racist Brexwit types hate it for having a black family on it, so even if it's the shittest ad ever, I love it.

Its fucking disgusting that. I said in the other thread that I knew there would be a kick off when I saw it and I shouldn't have to be expecting things like this. I hate what the Tories and that c*nt Frottage has turned this country into.

Still a crap Christmas advert, but if its making the flag shaggers burst a blood vessel and hopefully die, then I'm all for it.

Saw someone comment on that and I went down the rabbit hole on the follow up comments. Racists will be boycotting John Lewis this Christmas it seems.

[Buck Pete]

I'm boycotting John Lewis but not because I'm a big racist.

My lad has gone and got himself a fulltime job and subsequently left his job at JL.  Bang goes my 25% discount

Yep

Just give me snow, father christmas and kids and families having a happy day and that'll do me

[Hazell]

I do find it odd that people look forward to Christmas ads like John Lewis and Marks and Spencers like some big event, the B&M punctures those perfectly.

Saying that, I don't mind this one and like you say, that some people think that having a black person on TV is woke makes me like it some more.

I shouldn't hate it, but I still do.

I'll park it in the 'Hate Purgatory' until I have more detail.

I got into a row with someone over that advert, they aren't half some dumb people out there. All these idiots saying stuff like you can't see white people on the television now! I mean what world are they living in? Utter arses the lot of them.

Straight to advert Hell then.

All of the Nationwide ones recently are shite. Those “modern poets” are cringeworthy bullshit.

“This ones for the Northerners, we know you love Gravy. Come to Nationwide and your money you can Save-y”

[Komic]

The coca cola advert, where they are playing some fantasy fighting game and some kid gets killed so drinks a coke and bugs the game out so its non violent. Then all the streamers seem relaxed and happy about it, not incredibly annoyed that they've ruined the game.

[Rob Dylan]

I instantly hate any advert that uses the line "This one's for the...", or "Here's to the..." There's so many of them, all desperately trying to show that they understand how 'ordinary' people live.

Also any advert with whistling or 'quirky' music in it.

[Son of Spion]

Pretty much every Malteasers advert over the last few years.
