Adverts that make you want to smash your radio up
Discussion
Not sure we have this. ( Mods - please delete if there is an existing thread.)
Inspired by ( not a complete ripoff of course) of the thread of the same name but TV adverts.
After being WFH for the last couple of years - in the last couple of months I've had to spend a lot of time driving to client sites.
Listening to commercial radio to help pass the miles - there are some really horrific cringe ads on there.
To the tune of 2001 A space oddessy. (Also sprach Zarathustra) being screeched out very badly"
Experian : "Boost....your..... credit score....... to... SPACE.."
What else is out there that makes you want to smash your radio up? ( or just change the station to commercial free )

That one makes me laugh. Boost your score... hyperspace... boost you score!!! Experian : "Boost....your..... credit score....... to... SPACE.."
My current annoyance is Leigh Day solicitors claiming for Amazon drivers, or diesel emissions, or falling off your dining room chair, or anything else they can think of.

Local radio companies charging companies no doubt serious money to come up with jingles that try and be memorable, but just end up sounding really naff, poor and try hard!
Local advertising peaked in the mid-80s for me. "After the show, why not visit the Sultan Curry House, just ten minutes from this cinema". Accompanied by wobbly music and a blurry photo that might have been a plate of poppadums. Sheer class.
Pretty much any on Jazz FM.
80% of them are about cancer of one type or another. Of the remaining 20%, a few months ago they were running ads for a company supplying prosthetic limbs for children. I kid you not.
They are also mostly voiced in a Scottish accent. All Scottish people are trustworthy, see.

In a similar vein - Planet Rock (and I assume their sister stations) seem to have nothing but mobile phone networks and "sell your car" adverts. 80% of them are about cancer of one type or another.

The problem is, I listen to jazz in the car and I don't know quite how that would work.
The Direct Line hot drinks vs “office tech” - the way she glibly asks for “a little bit of milk” in her coffee which she then spills on her laptop leaves me always hoping she has somehow scalded herself…
That and the Samsung Galaxy folding phone advert that is a “gamechangeuuuhhh” for her handbag makes me reach for my sledgehammer double quick!
