The Pringles one where the guy is carefully making a dip for the two bints to dip their Pringles in, then turns round to find they have already scoffed them all. If I was him I'd have chucked the dip all over the ungrateful beyatches.
And where does she get that one in her right hand from at the end? We need to know!The Hypno-Toad said:
The latest one for one of the online gambling sites (can't remember which one.) which ends with all these customers sitting on sofas, getting offered cups of tea by 'staff members' who are dressed in blue polo shirts smiling patronising smiles. The place looks like a rest home for dementia patients, especially with one woman sat on the sofa, jiggling her arms up and down. Bizarre.
Now they're dancing round in a ring holding hands. Its like something out of The Wicker Man!But while I'm here.....
The advert for topping up your electricity meter from your smartphone.
Right.
If you have an electricity meter it usually means you are on a restricted income, possibly even benefits. But then, at least you've got an IPhone and access to the internet for about £44.00 a month rather than set up a direct debit for your electric. Just have to hope you've charged it fully so you can still look at LOL cats and order a pizza the lights go out.
Sums up the UK in some respects perfectly at the moment. Some peoples priorities are seriously out of wack.

Not everyone with a key meter is on benefits, could be renting the place and be unable to get it upgraded to a proper meter. I don't trust this 'do everything with your smart phone' idea, batteries don't always last the day, so in the future you would then be stuck unable to pay for anything or even get a taxi home once it dies.Right.

Also iPhones have been out for ages and can be found for not a huge amount 2nd hand, they are not just for those with plenty of disposable income any more.
It annoys me when people moan that Syrians are not real refugees because 'they have smart phones and nice clothes'. They are not fleeing poverty, they were living a comfortable life, then awful st started happening.

"Wow, another thing I can do with my phone! Want."
All the Facebook "friends" ads, now including ones related to sports & the RWC, etc. Try paying your taxes rather than making stty adverts you tts.
Also the new Vauxhall On-Star advert with the neighbour brat giving a neighbour crap over his car and lack of "features" compared to his own dads car, and a hilariously ste dub to English language.

Radio adverts are so much worse though, I think because they don't have visuals, the audio has to be twice as irritating.
I was in a colleagues car the other day driving for a couple hours with Heart FM on - st adverts, st music, st presenters. I think I lost a few brain cells listening that tripe.
TRADE POOIINT, TRADE POOIINT....
Yes, absolutely, does that really appeal to tradesmen, matey matey blokey blokey geyserish bks to the more or less tune of Fat Les's "Vindaloo", is it advertising execs view of anyone who drives a van or are they really into that, same for any van advert, its all a bit st.I was in a colleagues car the other day driving for a couple hours with Heart FM on - st adverts, st music, st presenters.

+1. Don't you just wish the revolting kid would choke on the "not quite the right size for teddy" piece of chocolate. "Teddy is very, very, very, not very well" was on the original advert when it was first broadcast last year. I noticed that the current version has been edited down to "Teddy is very not well", which is just as bad

The McArthur Glen TV advert (maybe local to SW?) sounds like its being sung by Zed from Police Academy... just makes my teeth grind.
