Yet another online US Casino brand now trading in the UK with a crappy loud shouty advert.

"DON'T DILLY DALLY - GET ON BALLY" banghead
They do know their target audience are all fking morons though
It's an online casino. Of course they know their customers are 'kin morons.
Surprises me just how many Youtube ads are for betting sites and online casinos.
Surprises Disheartens me how many people are stupid enough to use them. There is clearly a ready market of pigeons ripe for plucking.

Jet2 - all, (apart from the one with the Asian lady).
Particularly hate the annoyingly chirpy but bland-accented voiceover artist, especially the way she says “your holly-daaays!”

Just Eat - an all-time low from this repeat offender: two fat queenly gerbils being snarky. Just FRO.

Müller Rice - the special needs family in a kitchen, the microwave is for "drying socks". It seems to’ve been running for years.

Don’t know what the product is, but the ad depicts a grandmother introducing her creepy new ‘boyfriend’ to her assembled family.
So, a) it’s profoundly annoying and b) I can’t remember the product / service – a double fail.

Maltesers and yes one of the worst of the current ads.

Domino's four quid lunch. As if the Domino who who ad's weren't bad enough, we've not got 'high fours' instead of high five in the add.. and Domino who who.

I wish they'd just fk off with their crappy food!!!


Gambling ads about taking a break and setting limits etc, or alternatively have some self control (which I realise that some who do it all time don't have) Not everything is about gambling on Paddy Power & the like!!

Showing people who have a "cheeky little gamble" while getting their hair cut, or while out for dinner with their friends isn't everyone's normal life. It's rude and inconsiderate!

Has that Lucozade ad really got a black man swinging on a basketball hoop like a chimpanzee?
Is that what you see?
Well, he doesn't look white.

This continues to annoy, there was a comment about this woman a fair few pages back now... but the gyros bit still makes me chuckle, and is reaffirmed, every time I see it:

Is it just me or are the Omaze ads awful due to the woman's voice who presents them? So annoying.
I struggle with her, she's like some creepy wide eyed unblinking AI android with a fixed smile and gyros struggling to maintain top heavy balance.

Slightly off target as it's a shopping channel but..................
Ideal World - Opatra
It is totally unreal they claim prices of 6k or so discounted down to £800 etc. The presenter has had more work done than some buildings I have worked on.
She gives the impression of chatting to customers or other staffers through her earpiece and mic but I'm thinking she is just chatting to no one.
I used to like looking at Ideal world and scoffing slightly at all the really expensive unknown make watches they sold.
This Opatra thing is in another league it's fast approaching some of the claims in the More 'Audiophile' bullsh*t over in the Lounge a thread that has given me many a good laugh over the years I have added a link below

I've got a bloody earworm thanks to those fking meerkats, I've had it up to here with the flea-ridden bd vermin, to the extent that I'm determined to wipe them out as a species (yes I know it's not the real species' fault, too fking bad). Wombats too. Kill them all with fire. And Shania Twain, she doesn't get away either, or her fellow composer Mutt Lange. OK, I can't kill them but a period of exile in the Kerguelen Islands will do nicely.

And now if you'll excuse me, I need to dash out for an overpriced Americano from a well known coffee emporium. Doo-doo-de-do-do.

You know when you see an ad and think to yourself “that looks like it was done in a day by a team on The Apprentice with a name like Paradigm or Dynamics”.
That’s what I think when I see that ad for the home extensions company (Resa or something) with the guy in the garden with the puppet.

Definite change of approach- have they ditched their previous advertising team?

This is just absolutely ste, anything with seeing Beckham and his gurning face gives me an irrational burst of anger! Why does Walkers think that two has beens will sell more crisps?? Walkers are ste anyway... Golden Wonder for me!

Saw the latest Santander ad earlier in the evening - i wonder how much ££££ is getting plowed into that what with Ant, Dec & now Jon Snow - this time it's plugging the "Edge" account but Ant & Dec have tried a failed prank and turned it into variations such as "Wedgey" or "Vedge", etc. Dire.
