All of the new ASDA adverts really grip my s##t. The guy is really annoying and ASDA have gone out of their way to make the cheapest advert possible with no humour whatsover.

I don't honestly know what Asda are trying to achieve. Who sat through that ste and said 'yes, that'll work?

There’s an amusing BT broadband ad I’ve just caught.
Two blokes in a flat, down in the dumps because the broadband is out.

Ticks a lot of boxes. hehe

Pets at home making sure they include a gay couple.

Ad meeting >
We'll show two men living together...oh, people might think they're just roommates...ah! They'll touch each other in a sort of gay way when they laugh and look at their cat!

Now, how many other minorities should we include before break for lunch.

Just saw an advert for Toffifee and there were no diversity boxes ticked as the family portrayed was a white father, white mother, a white and a white girl. Odd to see these days so I'm sure somebody will complain, even if it's just forvthe bad dubbing smile

Ah yes, the ‘fun’ toffee with a stupid name. In what way is eating toffee with a stupid name fun?

The new Lloyds bank advert.

Slowed down version of a classic song (We've only just begun) - Check
Sung by a breathy female - Check
Longer pauses at the end of each line before the final word - Check
Accompanied by just a piano only playing the major chords - Check

Also what drugs are they smoking when they come up with these adverts? How come the advert doesn't show someone being stuck behind someone banking their decades coin savings, or someone wanting an explanation of every transaction on their statement?

O2's new advert helping to ruin The Wannadies "You & Me Song" with yet another sub-standard cover version
Any cover with a minimalist, slowed down approach and a gravelly voiced artist who probably does that style for every song in existence gets a no from me.

Looks like there's another raft of Covid related adverts filtering through.

One for Hilton advertising "Covid Secure Stays" featuring a socially distanced with less than 15 guests wedding & ends with everyone keeping granny safe, from a distance, whilst she wears a snazzy face covering.

Then there's the "take a break in the UK this autumn" advert. Uh, sure, let's do that. Well, i guess that's only possible if King BoJo signs a decree allowing permission for the proles to leave their allocated boundary, if you're in a lockdown area, and mix with others to do so getmecoat

Moonpig can just do one with their latest low effort advert.

Another vote for the Asda one as well, I'm surprised my TV is still intact after that one has played.

Sunday night - marketing man is desperate to win the bid for listerine on Monday ............but what could he come up with, if only he had some sort of original thought in his body, if only he handnt spent all weekend partying in The City, sniffing lines, buying a TAG watch and banging Steph from Lloyds bank marketing.............................he sits down in front of his 65inch plasma in his 1 bed apartment with "bright fresh open plan kitchen lounge" , turns on the remote and BBC are showing SHREK..........................my god its good, if only he could think of ideas like this........................almost to the end now - oh how he loves donkey .............. oh how he loves donkeys singing and rapping rhymes.....then he' got IT !!!!- why not, he could do it, but people would know - would his image be tarnished, would they all look at him on Monday and see through his slick back hair, Hugo Boss shirt and suit, his new silk tie and see a fraud - would they , if he suggests a Donkey singing to a man using Listerine - would they see it

then he has a smug satisfaction inside himself as it dawns as he sucks up another line...........

this is why he's a genius

this is why everyone loves him

this is why men want to be him and women with him

this is why he justifies his enormous pay cheque and lifestyle

just put shrek's accent on the donkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

his fist pumps the air, walks over to his window of his apartment and looks out, pleased with his work -

looking down at his 800 a month Audi Q5 jammed into his 1 allocated parking slot of the apartment block - he nods - yes, you'll be a Q7 come month end bonus...............
