The Crunchie one with the dubbed on mouth, WTF were they thinking?
yes

I cringe whenever it comes on ... Although on the other hand, I could watch the current dubbed mouth Domino's advert again and again and again! hehe

Dick-U-Is and the advert for his current tie in with 3 mobile & Dial.

Edit - also the new VW Tiguan advert with the supposedly Hipster dad driving his daughter to school.

the Weetabix Drink dhead that says "I haven't got time for breakfast" I'm too busy sleeping in my clothes - then rocks up to a full breakfast meeting and actually has to push a croissant away as he gives it the corporate "lets go" bullst as everyone around him is clearly eating.

Maybe if you turned up on time you could eat with everyone else?

All it promotes is laziness.
The thing that annoyed me most is who it seems to be aimed at. Clearly the just out of university fresh faced yet disorganised and useless interns that want to get up at the last possible second yet somehow are still ferociously ambitious despite earning just £100 and seemingly fine to spend £2 on breakfast bottled ste every day. Cringe.
You know, one of my housemates recently bought some of these, and he matches your description almost to a "T"

My wife bought some of these to take to work. I looked at the sugar content, and it's pretty high. The st they peddle is not healthy, especially if you're drinking these things and sat down all day, moving nothing but your hands and fingers on a keyboard.

But I guess if food products aren't loaded with sugar content, they just wouldn't sell as well..

Yet another sexist advert.

Just imagine if the roles were reversed - need I say more

I mentioned this to my missus recently with the same sentiments, and she countered with the good point that if the roles were reversed, a man would have handled the situation differently. The advert portrayed a very 'feminine' way of calling your other half out for cheating then dumping them. Ideally though to remove the sexist sentiments I had they should have had a gay couple instead, that way you lose the sexist image but are still able to keep the on screen actions.

Tiguan advert as mentioned above...Jesus Christ VW are terrible, they might think it's cool to pitch to that demographic but the end result is so bad it's bad.

I see they don't advertise the Polo GTi being the best car on earth, it sells itself.


Also the dominos advert....makes my head veins twitch...

Along with all the Jacobs women and everyone from the dominos pizza advert! (I know they've been mention above but they are such annoying adverts they are getting another mention)

All the recent Cadbury adverts have been total drivel!!

All the recent Cadbury Kraft crap made in Poland adverts have been total drivel!!
Edit for reality. The sooner Kraft get bored of not being able to sweat any more out of the desiccated husk of Cadbury and sell it to an organisation that isn't run by lizards the better.

Are they still introducing weird fusion confections? I'm waiting for the chocolate with cheese slice combo.

I love this thread. I drop in to catch up on the st adverts that annoy everyone else. I automute the telly and tend to look away a lot during ad breaks so I miss the current trending ones and the descriptions here are superb.
"company not run by lizards" had me laughing.
Thank you! smile

Not a TV one but the radio one for Solid Oak furniture with the manager hilariously confusing the sound of people knocking on the shop door to get in with people knocking the real oak furniture

The paddy power euro advert with the Scots supposedly having a dig at the English. To all the clowns involved in this, goram, mcavennie, the krankies (ffs); everyone is laughing AT you.

I'm not sure what the creator of the current ClearScore advert was taking when they thought that one up.

Woman on sofa watches advert on TV for CS and demands male partner check their credit score immediately, male checks credit score and gets average score, a dog sounding like a knock off Cookie Monster pops up and asks the male what he's doing before proclaiming his love for him, male reciprocates and tells the dog he loves him and the woman on the sofa thinks the comment was directed towards her.

Weird.
