Have we had the "Peloton" advert yet?

"Julie in London I can see you, you are SMASHING IT"
"Well done Colin in Dulwich this is your 100th ride!"

Subscribes to the narcissist "filming myself while I do a preacher curl" Instagram brigade, annoys me.

That said, I'm not sure how you I would advertise such a thing (basically an online video game version of Strava) without playing into the needs of such a person.

Anyhoo it winds me up
Mentioned quite a while ago but it's back on tv presumably as it's Grand tour cycling season.

The new Vauxhall Trade Up advert!

Just sold his supercar for £830k but it would have been £834k had he traded it in for a Vauxhall with their scrappage scheme! rolleyes
That ad makes absolutely no sense.

Fortunately it doesn't actually show a Vauxhall.

Indeed - what kind of Vauxhall can you trade an £830k supercar in against? Do they allow you to trade a single car against an entire dealer's stock?

There are a load of annoying adverts on the radio at the moment, on LBC the one that does my head in at the moment is for Gilbani cheese, where they have a supposed scouse woman trying to pronounce Gilbani with hilarious results furiousbanghead

Disappointed, although the ads were bloody irritating the Admiral was rather attractive.

Took me a second there to remember the current Admiral is a woman.

Trouble was her outfit wasn't alluring, ahem, authentic enough...

The Tenna Silhouette Noir advert with the new mother mentioning incontinence
Personally I like the advert but the comments on the You Tube advert are interesting

Distasteful commercial should not be shown before watershed i.e 8.00pm, we don’t want to see someone grabbing their breasts while eating dinner with our young children..

Elicited this reply

Speak for yourself mate 😂

Not sure if mentioned in here but the Alfa QV advert on Sky F1 boils my piss! They have a shot of the car close up showing the sun pass over the paint and the QV badge, but the car looks like it’s been washed at the local Albanian outfit as it’s covered in swirls! I’m no detailer (anything but) but you would think Alfa would make sure their cars look 100% before filming for their own advert!

Maybe they need a better class of dinner guest?

The current Jacamo advert, which seems to be trying to make going on holiday somewhere hot and sunny into some kind of heroic shared masculine endeavour.

Would they let you trade it in and then give you the remaining £820,000 in cash along with your brand new Vauxhall Adam?
