The NFU Mutual advert on the radio that ends with 'We love to pay out'.
WTF??!!! NO insurance company love to pay out FFS, they actively don't intend to pay you anything if they can help it.
Very annoying advert.
The ones on the TV are just as bad too featuring the part hipster "assessor" joyfully jumping around like Mary Poppins from house to house saying "yes" to every customer he meets.WTF??!!! NO insurance company love to pay out FFS, they actively don't intend to pay you anything if they can help it.
Very annoying advert.

Now the Halifax is brutalising Thunderbirds. What the hell is going on at the end with Parker sitting on the beach waving at a really weird-looking asexual person on waterskis? !
Either Parker has gone off to Thailand to pursue some latent ladyboy fascination, or him and Tin Tin have been secretly having it off behind the Tracy Island cardboard set. As Alan Partridge would say, Back of the Net! The Zoopla advert with the total spacktard with the lank greasy hair having some kind of seizure in front of his wife and the estate agent. What I cannot understand is why they stand idly by looking embarrassed, instead of doing the natural thing and giving the bloke a shoeing for being a complete onanist.

Now hes gone far away
My hubbie threw him out
When he told us he was gay
Ive been married twenty years
My sex life is on the slide
But things are getting better
I write s
te poems for nationwideThat sort of thing your meaning with the old bat sat on the allotment
There was one recently for something, I think that food supplement one where basically instead of having a balanced diet you drink what looks like sick.
Anyway the small print at the bottom of the screen says "92% of 47 people agreed" to back up their claim saying "9 out of 10 think this is fantastic", that's not a fking survey that's an office whip round, please ps off and come back when you've done it properly. All that says to me is that the product is awful and they had to manipulate the data to fit their claim, which I know always happens but this just smacks of desperation.
It used to happen on make up adverts but it seems they've been told to stop being such tts and now the surveys seem to be in the 150 to 300 range, which I think is still small but better than the above.

Although I have to say, that there are a couple of ads I actually like, the Lloyds bank one featuring the trilogy of life is quite something IMHO. Plus the Dyson ad, but I bet they never expected to get the thoughts I have when I see it, just WHO is that vacuum using stunning crumpet?

(21 out of the 200 asked, agreed)
Way less than half agreed with the statement. But that doesn't matter. So long as some (presumably 3 or more), agree then that's good enough for marketing!

So I've just seen the Pepsi ad that's had everyone up in arms, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it...
