Another radio advert.

The Weight Watchers one where a woman talks about eating stuff whilst eating a WW biscuit.

That's disgusting!

Thank you. It's most annoying.

[kowalski655]

Just heard an advert(cant see TV from here) the "wife licker" !!!!!
Apparently its the "Y Fliker" scooter,but it sounds a bit rude for kids TV!

esp that guy with the huge beard driving a white people carrier - Vauxhall Mocha or something - and gets out and takes off his leather coat so he can be "different"

having a huge beard and a people carrier doesnt make you cool, leather jacket or not

they should have filmed that ad in Shoreditch, they could then show a scene of him shaving the beard off to be different.

The Co-Op Bread and the bacon advert
"this is important bread blah blah waffle waffle homely tale cosy little voice crap crap waffle "
"this is important bacon, teenager bed waffle waffle family life scenario comforting cooing voice crap crap waffle waffle"

"that's why we charge so little for it"
fook off asda is cheaper
"the co op here for you for life" well hopefully you can die early as the local ones are staffed by moronic ignorant wkers who think you wanting a carrier bag is a crime etc"

Hopefully the archaic place will go down the pan
Hateful adverts

...And Lidl beats 'em all, it seems....

[hidetheelephants]

The latest shylock advert, which features no less than Chesney Hawkes(or a convincing lookylikey) and an appalling cover of his appalling one hit. If that wasn't bad enough it's filled with dancing monkeys.

[Balmoral]

Bright House. They make pay day loan company's look like Saints.

[AlexRS2782]

Noticed earlier that the Kindle Paperwhite adverts are being run again.

"Real people. Hidden cameras". Yes, of course they are, we believe you.

Also the new run of Paypal adverts are already being shown excessively.

Although a few of the toothpaste ads are worth a laugh what with the rather poor overdub onto the European advert and the total lack of sync as a result.

Anything with plinky plonky "oh aren't we so wonderfully environmentally friendly and hipster-ey"

On the radio, that new Mercedes Benz advert pisses me off. "you are metal, but you must be Mercury because you don't stand still" "You are a wave, and I must be the surfer, and I will catch you" Oh do fk off. Bet that bloke wears boat shoe.

Yep. Kettle at the ready to boil piss at such things.

The music for these trendy / hipster type stverts is normally a rhythmic strumming of a Ukelele.

In fact, having just done a quick Google search on such things, it seems I'm not the only one to notice / have raised blood pressure from it.

There's even a Facebook group dedicated to it, thus: Campaign to ban ukuleles and whimsical singing in television commercials

Not sure if it is a UK-wide advert but there is one on at the moment that rips my kitting - Dreams. Got some 'wacky'-looking guy in it with fluroescent-coloured spectacles, a grin that you couldn't remove with a cricket bat and 'wacky' waistcoat and trousers.

By golly does that man need a really good solid kicking.

Who would want to visit a store that has a weirdo like that hanging about.

[eddy02]

There is an ad at the moment showing a Healy 3000 in a garage with some bloke grinding on top of the engine,sparks flying everywhere,front wings/body not covered.
For the life of me I can't think what he could be possibly grinding on top of an engine but it makes it look spectacular so it must be important.

Hive - I don't one now specifically because of this ad. It's not just the whimsical singing and the uke. It's the actual lyrics that have clearly been written from a rhyming dictionary and the conceit of the whole thing. How much time can it save? Mine is programed to be on when I'm in and off when I'm out. If it's too hot/cold I adjust accordingly when I walk past. Plus I wouldn't have to find my phone to adjust the temp.

They are also very poorly dubbed, as evidenced by the American English words used.

[Mastodon2]

The Toyota hybrid where it says "6 million people have fallen in love with driving again" due to Toyota hybrids. Have they "fallen in love with driving again", or are they just pleased that it doesn't cost them so much do drive any more? Sounds to me like they've taken their sales figures and spun it to make it into something it's not. I'm sure the Toyota Prius I drive for work has been included in that 6 million figure, I don't love driving it.

Also, the Nissan Quashqai where it describes it as "the ultimate urban driving experience". If I wanted something for urban driving, an oversized hatchback on stilts wouldn't be my first choice.

Driving is one of my most pleasurable experiences, I love it - With that in mind, I would never willingly buy one of those cars. I can only imagine that they are the automotive equivalent of drinking tap water.

[Mastodon2]

I love driving (much prefer riding a motorcycle though), but there is no way a Toyota hybrid is anything other than a white good. A McLaren or Ferrari hybrid on the other hand, is a different prospect.

Oh my god! The new Argos advert. GOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL.

fk me, it's annoying enough with those fking aliens, let alone shouting goal like that for the whole advert. This is why I hate football.

[The Hypno-Toad]

The new Cravendale ad.

What the juddering fk is that meant to be about?

How to increase your sales, give all your prospective customers kids night terrors.

Football-themed adverts seem to be on the rise - anyone know why that is? Men thinking up ingenious wheezes for buying a new telly, oh my aching sides.
