Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up.

Halifax - People who go the extra mile deserve extra. Yes, maybe they do but you'll open a bank account for any bell end who walks through the door if they have enough money.
Does it give you rewards for helping old ladies? No, it give rewards for spending cash. "sorry mrs jones you only helped one old lady across the road this week, no bonus for you"

That car supermarket one (no idea which particular car supermarket) which boasts that all their cars have tyres which exceed the legal minimum. Well good for them, not selling cars which are illegal to drive on the road.

Kevin bacon EE ads. Premise of "famous Hollywood star incongruously saying British working class TV references", wonder how long they'll spin that hilarious concept out for.

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

Not sure they are dubbed, the actress Sandra Seeling is German (though has been in a lot of English speaking movies).

Anyway, I utterly and totally loath the current Apple "Gigantic" ad, the song grates so much I have to mute or change channels.

I'll agree with that - having seen it countless times the past few days it's really grating now

I'm still giggling at the utter inappropriateness of the song for the advert

Kinder Chocolate! They have recently changed this and now have a small boy(sure it's a woman doing the voice over) saying 3 lines, it's meant to be cute and funny but it makes the kid seem retarded. "Teddy is very very not very well" etc really boiling my piss just now this one.

I think they're saying they supply cars that have tyres with more tread than is required by law, 1.6mm iirc.
So not illegal per se.

St Ivel Gold spread; another joyful load of misandrist bks, all men are fit only to be ridiculed, laughed at and humiliated on youtube.

I just like the way the song describes itself. It is, quite rightly, a big, big load. Of st.

Those Argos aliens seem to have suddenly resurfaced.

Good god, I actually want to shop at Argos less than I did before.

[VictoriaYorks]

Can't remember the name of the product but it's some kind of sauce or seasoning and the ad is just a load of heavy breathing. Makes my skin crawl

[hidetheelephants]

More misandry and doormat males; HSBC mortgages and the sap father who panders to ridiculously demanding daughter by building(and extending) a ridiculous treehouse, then builds another for the other equally demanding daughter.

[Amirhussain]

The betvictor advert is pissing me off

[stephen300o]

Plus 500 add takes a lot of beating, revolting add.

[gpo746]

Maplin moment
That must be as in I want to go to a store that sells Chinese stuff at massively ramped up prices and whose staff are surprisingly unknowledgeable about a lot of the products on sale.

[hidetheelephants]

Doormat males again; men are so spineless that instead of saying 'The world cup is a visual spectacle and I'd like to watch it on a stupidly wide telly with ear-bleedingly loud surround sound from a speaker bar', they have to make a st attempt at justifying said telly with the OH's potential joy of watching gardening/tennis/cooking/period dramas/penguin documentaries in surroundovision. Thank you Currys.

Any of the O2 adverts with the "be more dog" cat, now including the one with the mangy piece of crap speaking at a seminar

I wonder if cat owners are now leaving O2 in disgust? (I'm sure they realised there's more dog owners in the UK though)

O2. Be more dog.
Here, pick up that bit of st, friend. Oh and don't mind me if I make your house stink of 'more dog'.

Strangely that "cat" is actually just a dog with a cat head superimposed onto it. So it's not really true.
