The PPI adverts with Swartzenegger's head on a track drive. Whoever the FCA paid to make the adverts must have been as high as a kite.

That advert is beyond annoying, it totally fks me off, and it's on virtually every fking ad break. s.

Isn't it a £30m campaign that's going to be on heavy rotation for a long time?

It's utter junk and we're going to be seeing far too much of it. If you thought you were sick of PPI before...

I don't know if this has been mentioned before (possibly by me!), but any of those toothpaste ads that look like they've been filmed on a crap phone, all weird angles and quick cutaways.

There was a radio ad recently that played upon the "Now there's a deadline..." angle to PPI claims, clearly trying to pressure people into doing it quickly. They don't mention what the deadline is though - until a recent TV ad where some woman is sat at a pink desk, and on the desk is the deadline: Aug 2019.

So the deadline is two years away? Oh no! Time is running out, I'd best get texting to some number quickly!

The Audi advert on the drag strip, with the Audi setting off late and slow followed by "nothing to prove"

Then why are you on a drag strip in the first place? its only purpose is to prove how quick you can go.

The tag line should be, "Audi, for people who cant walk the talk"

Should have been lined up against this


If you want a really fast Audi A5

I also find the advert somewhat unusual as it suggests that Audi want to ensure people know that those buying RS models are smug bds who buy performance cars and don't use them properly

Some would say that a Drag Strip is perfect for an Audi, you can't understeer going in a straight line

True, you just need to keep an eye out for all those out of control Yank cars that can't even seem to go in a straight line nor corner.

Funding Circle. Whoever they are. Another patronising advert where you are suddenly supposed to be surprised the long haired rock drummer is actually a woman because they think the viewer wouldn't believe a woman can play the drums.

Another Nationwide one, this time with a couple...

The one where Johnny Depp says "I gotta get ouda here", drives off into the desert, rips his jewellery off and shovels sand over his head still makes me laugh.

Ah, perfume ads. A whole new level of whatthefk.

Millions spent, beautifully shot, superstars engaged. And no one watches them afterwards to see if they make any sense whatsoever. Except the Dior ad with Charleze Theron - I could watch that on loop all day. (Still makes no sense though).

[FourWheelDrift]

The British Red Cross advert suggesting the elderly should leave a gift of money to them in their will and then offering the British Red Cross will writing service to help them do it.

First sign of impending Christmas is an upswing in these.

I kind of feel sorry for the advert makers: these ads are clearly intended to be used across many countries, and therefore they have to make sense to many cultures, which means what may look glamorous in one market looks hopelessly cheesy to us cynical Brits.

I've mentioned the Clearscore ones before since its the exact same advert 8 different ways.


NOW Matey is outside with another dog in the park and I confess "No Take, Only Throw" appeals to my sense of humour

https://youtu.be/H5Rgy-QkcTY?t=19s

HOWEVER!


Matey is also selling Laptops at PC World! And for some reason he's got a Northern accent now!


There should be some rule that they cant do a new ad until the old one has stopped running!

Saw the same thing with the American chap from the Enterprise ad doing one for Toyota!
