Topic: Adverts you hate

[Hazell]

To be honest that’s what their adverts are. At least you can tell who it’s for. All the other bank ones with talking heads from their staff get annoying after a while. And ultimately all the backs are stuffed in terms of being able to offer competitive rates so they might as well do something a bit different to their competitors (by using a lot of ideas used by other companies admittedly!).

It makes one yearn for the days of Howard Brown.

To be honest, I would have picked him ahead of Bubble and David Brent as well.

The one with Michael Buerk trying to flog a 1/8th sovereign for £70 to halp the younger generations to be aware of currency such as shillings, hapennies etc that went out of circulation 50 years ago. I remember pre decimal and I don't give two shits about it, so why do my kids need to be arsed?

More living in the past bollocks.

I can't stand that Mr Kipling one where everyone is horrible to the young lad.

He has to rob a cake and give it to his sister before she gives him a smile.

Was sound in the run in to have a piano cover of “We’re gonna win the league” at every ad break though...

[So… Howard Philips]

"This is an announcement from the London Mint Office" with a voice over similar to that announcing the air raid warning in "Two tribes".

Fuck off - You're selling crap quarter sovereign bling to cockney geezers not pronouncing defcon Three.

Like the kids these days give a fuck about pre decimal coins and why exactly is a dead, useless and almost forgotten currency "important" to the younger generation? Only matters to the Brexit racists.

That On the Market one,halfwits sitting in a cafe singing about the house they've just missed out on.

Forgotten currency? I'll have you know I paid my tailor's bill of 10 guineas for fancy weskits by means of sovereigns, thrupenny bits and farthings.

My Mum used to buy me toys off Bob Isherwoods Market stall in Kirkby market for half a crown. And I do like some nice thruppeny bits.

Did you know that Sovereign coins are still legal tender?
The only thing is is that they are only worth a pound if you buy something with them.

Yeah but they look damn cool mounted in ring.  Couple on each finger if possible.

Why are Nationwide persisting with this ad campaign?   It must be working which worries me in itself   Absolutely horrendous.

[rob1966]

See the "Get Ready for being fucked when we join the WTO care of the Tory c*nts and racists" adverts are on the telly now

[bradders1011]

Wouldn't it be nice if Sky changed their fucking adverts?

[Jwils21]

Wouldn't it be nice if Sky changed their fucking adverts?

It’s in keeping with the way Sky over market everything. You watch Sky One for an hour and you’ll hear “wouldn’t it be nice” 5/6 times, see the same repeated adverts for their latest “Sky Original” 4/5 times and eventually you’ll realise that most of the pre-show voiceovers are repeated.

It strangely puts me off watching Sky Originals as they’re so heavily marketed. They just all seem to have a weird feel to them.

"Do you have a dry scalp?"  "I'm not flirting. it's a genuine question?". 

Instant hate.

McCain.  Sure I've done this one before so sorry.

Nice to know they approve of lesbians, disabled folk and mixed-race couples eating their crap oven chips.

Agreed. I hated it the first time I saw it.

I think I saw that one the other day. I turned to Mrs. Spion and commented on how they managed to get just about every minority group in there.

That's fine, but I do cringe when they try far too hard to shoehorn people in like this, because it looks so contrived.

Exactley.... remember when adverts were... erm, .... just adverts !
Then it was a couple, then with kids, then mixed race couple, then with kids.. disabled, gay lesbian..

Wonder who will be the first to do the ultimate inclusive advert

A mixed-race, same sex couple, one able-bodied, one in a wheelchair.  Holding hands, one wearing a Utd shirt and the other in a LFC shirt

A bank with a recent scandal in the news. Guaranteed.

The Arla advert is doing my head in 
"It's not milk."
"It's not milk."
"It's not milk."
"It's not milk."
"It's milk that's been filtered longer"... Or some crap like that.
I'm usually shouting at the telly by this point so I don't hear the full advert 

[AndyMuller]

It baffles me to this day how JustEat got Snoop Dogg to advertise them. They’ve got a new one out with him now.

[Jwils21]

Not sure whether this is in the love or hate category, but Plenty’s Christmas advert is something else. They start off with an arl lady pulling tinsel from a cats arse, and continue through a beautifully disgusting Christmas Day with blood, sweat and sick. Top marks for the sheer ballsiness, just not great when you’re trying to have your tea.

In terms of Xmas adverts, Lidl’s shameless ripping into Aldi is a beautiful sight.

to be honest it's probably the best thing he's done in ages.

[reddebs]

Not so much a hate but when I hear the eBay one it reminds me of "guardians of the galaxy" with that stupid tune!!

[Jono69]

Capital One Credit Card advert traumatises my daughter - There's a lady on a bike who stops at a Ice Cream van , get's one and has a lick and then passes it back to the man who served her

You wouldn't think a 10 year old could get quite so upset by something like that

The head office is a few minutes away from where we live if you need me to go and mention it to them

Mrs. Spion was a bit upset at that one. She reckons they went too far when they stuck a fork into Kevin the Carrot.

I think he's doing it for all their global brands so it isn't just a UK thing. Bet he's earning a few bob either way.

They have a revenue of about 1B pounds a year too.

The subtle face on the carrot is genius, though.

I’d very much appreciate mate.
Just stand outside their main office building shouting “Feline Posterior Cavity said that it is fucking milk you bunch of inbred meffs!”
I’m sure that’ll get the message across and they’ll see the error of their ways

Fucking HATE the Idris Elba Sky Cinema Christmas advert.
