That level headed advert annoys me.

Why would she have so many photos of herself with a level head, and why would she borrow money at 415651949% interest to redecorate?!

The washing machine is shagged! But look at the pretty wall with paper that I cannot hang properly!

Raaah!

Also this, the very opposite of level headed. On what planet does it make sense to pay back more each month than you borrowed in the first place? I can't believe these APRs are legal. I do love the stained glass on the front door though.

Christ on a bike!!!!!!!

Only a clinically brain dead moron would apply for that! I guess that's their target market though?

ETA:

Weirdly, on their own website it doesn't show you how much you'll repay per month until after you've input your details... I wonder why?

Not sure its just the brain dead, just the desperate. If you already have bad credit, no family to borrow from and your fridge just packed up, what do you do? Avoid these if you can, but I suppose the friendly and warm adverts like this just make it seem like a safe bet!
They are just picking clean the bones of the already poor...

Modern day loan sharks (PH lawyers - is this OK?) At least if you default on your payments you don't end up with pulverised kneecaps.

Not violence, mild annoyance at the Expedia ad claiming the Gumball rally is rubbish. Bloody cheek.

[oceanview]

Advert on one of the freeview channels, some yoghurt ad with a middle-aged woman having a couple of young buff blokes "pamper" her.
If it was an older bloke being "pampered" by young women it probably wouldn't get aired as would be too sexist or de-meaning etc.
So pack it in you dirty old mare!!

The Harry Potter & Haribo adverts where they over dub the adults with silly children's voices

[Mastodon2]

There is some stir fry advert on tv at the moment that is making me want to smash something, centred around the premise of a man phoning his wife / girlfriend. The woman is on screen cooking. Diaglogue is as follows:

"What you doing?"

"Cooking."

"What you cooking?"

"Stir fry."

The blokes voice is completely and utterly monotone, to make him sound like a thick tt while the woman cooks some tea. Every time I see I just want to put my foot through the tv.

[Bluedot]

I've tried to ignore it but that annoying bint droning on about her dentist telling her to use a 'GoPro'.
Then she comes out the dentist and gives it the 'All Clear' in a 'look at me all smug' type way.

Everyone involved with those adverts need a swift kick in the face.

Those two berks in the purple bricks ad.

Did I hear this right, yesterday? They now have some sort of special offer on a PINK TOOTHBRUSH!!

Nicole stsinger and her chocolate covered balls.

Cringeworthy.

I was going to mention those ones but had assumed they had been mentioned a million times before in this thread. Agreed, pretty much the worst adverts going

The Aldi "gastropub" adverts are really starting to grate now.

But obviously not getting the message across as they are for Lidl not Aldi.

[JonRB]

The advert where the smug guy is cycling down the cobbled street, and the woman is walking down the pavement. And she gets to a barrier across the pavement and stops because she is too myopic to see that the pavement is blocked until she almost walks into the barrier. And then smug bicycle guy rings his bell and gives her a lift round the obstacle because, you know, it is absolutely impossible for a pedestrian to step into an empty road to walk round an obstacle.

[JonRB]

Oh, and since I am watching Le Mans on Eurosport HD, the "Advan" advert that they play every year - the one where, to demonstrate how great their tyres are, the car brakes in a straight line and goes into a four wheel skid.

I frequently remember what product or service and advert is promoting but not the actual company. So I will recall something is a bank advert, for example, but not which bank.

Sorry to hear that. Here, try another East 17 track to displace it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kav0FEhtLug

Pringles Tortilla Chips. When the left hand girl scoffs the last one, where does the one in her right hand come from?
