I don't know how many different Sainsbury Christmas ads there are.

They're all dreadful.

I hadn't seen any of them till a couple of days ago but have now seen 3 or more.

Dettol spray - little brat wipes his nose & smears it all over his sister's doll. Mum delivers a sort of `Oh well` expression & sprays doll with stuff. No thick ear or lecture on microbiology.

The Vodafone radio adverts for its "unified/ everything works together and its brilliant for business" adverts. So fake they are unreal.

+1. I thought at first it was a piss take but oh no they were serious. Can you imagine the sign off at the board of WBAC. Somebody somewhere needs firing for this one.

I'm sure I must be being whooshed by something but i genuinely don't understand the relevance of it, has Philip Schofield got something to do with WBAC ?

I think any kind of creativity and thought is rapidly leaving the Ad industry.
It now seems to be about being ever more stupid or annoying to get attention.

Go Compare must surely be the most long term hated adverts of all time but I bet they have seen an uplift in business.

so that you know they are from mobile phones! That's how TV people think nowadays, it is the new "Cut the frame down to two overlapping circles so that everyone knows this shot is someone looking through binoculars"

Instant cash advert (can't remember the company) where the guy sits at his desk after finding out he needs to pay for something and whines " I haven't got that money, and I don't get paid for weeks".

Well excuse me, but most people get paid once a month, and if he doesn't get paid again for weeks, that means he's just been paid. So what's the spendthrift done with his month's wages? The ad is nonsense.

He did get paid.
But then he had to pay £13 finance for his tv
£250 for his car finance
£40 finance for the sofa
£55 for the sky tv
£30 for the washing machine finance
£65 for his phone contract
£120 for his monthly car insurance finance
and £600 for mortgage

So on spunking all of his income on "low monthly payment" finance he now needs to borrow money from financiers (maybe even the same company) at 400% APR to survive.

And the loop continues and continues until he defaults.

yes (I've got a couple of grand to spare. I'm seriously thinking about becoming a loan shark. It's the future.)

well the 'animojis' are not strictly annoying just in the advert; it's just a depiction of the product feature itself.
Who wants to use an emoji shaped like a turd
