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?

Utter PC drivel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=51&amp...

I'm embarrassed to quote this.

It’s a terrible version of that song..... it’s been bugging all my friends too.

New Andrex advert.. FFS.

Saw that one tonight. The only redeeming factor is that it's an improvement on the previous campaign that was all about educating people (via primary school age kids) on the different ways an adult should wipe their arse.

TBH the original version written by Paul Williams is also a lot slower but admittedly not as "breathy". It was composed for an American bank advert.

What a terrible version of the song !
I bet the Carpenters are getting a lot of airtime on the back of this

My challenge to the ad makers is to have a soppy girl doing a version of a Sex Pistols song. Preferably Anarchy in the UK but any other one would do.

[abzmike]

I’m sure it’s been mentioned but the bloody Halifax advert. It’s been a difficult year, all in this together, a people thing. God we know, and it’s on every second break on Channel4.
All these ads in the style of zoom calls, and multiple staff members whimpering into the camera now make me avoid their offerings.

That smug looking hoofer sat at the desk outside saying maybe you are thinking of a new home
yeah right
Funnily enough I found during Covid Halifax were the worst of a bad bunch with their attitude to customers. Literally doors locked and full interrogation when door opened to release one to allow another in.
Really poor cs

Ah - the good old days of 'Fold or Scrunch'. I fondly remember replying to the Andrex twitter account to proudly inform them that my chosen method of anus cleaning removed the need to make a fold or scrunch decision as I instead used a laminated picture of Dawn Porter (the then incumbent face of 'F or S') for faecal matter removal.

No like or retweet from the Andrex social media team for that one.........

Has anyone mentioned the EDF ad.
Excrutiating ditty that sounds like a mashed up version of "Were busy doing nothing"

That one is not as bad as the "hipster" and the home yoga advert.

Is that the guy with the hair and beard that thinks gives him a personality.

Btw, why are Andrex even bothering advertising? Everyone needs toilet paper and especially this year...for some reason

[rider73]

should we have a 2002 award for worst ad(s)

Nationwide would be occupying the top 3

I think Ant and Dec's "little pens" takes some beating and I wish they'd take a good beating too. Mute button, every time.

[Pixel Pusher]

Has this bearded, lip synching, moon faced knobbertron from the Hey Car ad had a mention yet?

Half of PH looks like that.
