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.
I use banks that pay higher interest, not talentless Geordies

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.

The intentional humour suggests a change. Perhaps they'd like my suggestion of two blokes in striped jerseys signing on at the jobcentre as Verisure has destroyed their livelihoods.

Go.compare latest advert - even more annoying with a stupid bloke dancing to some ear worm music with the “fat bloke” watching on and nodding.
Why have they not killed him off?
Advert makes no sense at all.

New verisure advert - Irish woman worried because her neighbour Dave has been burgled and his house is a dive!
Definite change of approach- have they ditched their previous advertising team?
I can only imagine if 'Dave' was not white there would be uproar, or if the advert was a fat woman in a miniskirt who got raped last night, and if it can happen to her, it can happen to anyone, the add would be banned.. depicting victims of crime based on how they look is wrong.. Burglary is the rape of the mind and should be treated as such..

Walkers crisps with Beckham and Henri.
Just poor.
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!
Beckham is so wooden it's just embarrassing! Who the fook at Walkers thought this was good enough to release should be looking for another job about now! Loved him as a footballer. As an 'actor', even for adverts, just fk off and enjoy your millions David! You can't need the £££, or is Posh after a new house or something?

Impressive lurking!


Anyway, the one that really grinds my gears currently is the chewing gum ad with obnoxious mouths in people's foreheads. What the actual juddering fk?

And secondly - "Hiii, I'm Danniiii Dyaaaaahhh" ... fk OFF!!

Santander, anything with the Bank of ttandStench. Talentless but reassuringly expensive.

I've noticed that saucepan and mattress manufacturers are still referencing nineteen sixties technology as if it were somehow modern, up to date, cutting edge, state of the art etc. That may have been the case sixty years ago, but why are they still running the same advertising schtick now?

There's a similar one, but it's the back of a woman's head... Probably same scensoredt ad agency.
( Think it's for a snack bar...).

The latest Hays Travel advert - absolutely dire with “customers” singing along with agents.
Cringeworthy and reminds of the shockingly bad On the Market advert when that first came out.

The insufferably smug Virgin Airlines advert is back. We've got gay cabin crew (shock horror), female pilots (madness, I tell you) and cabin crew that don't wear lipstick (pass the smelling salts Mavis).
