Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up. (Vol 2)

This Lenor one with a bunch of diverse freaks being excited by bed linen smelling of a chemical approximation of the outdoors.

And why is there an S in SUV anyway? Beats me.

Not a specific advert, but has anyone else noticed how adverts for cars these days don't seem to show the car actually driving..........you know, the thing it was actually designed to do.

The latest Volvo c40 ad for example. It tells you it's all electric, easy to recharge and has pixelated headlights. But that's it. You don't even see the car moving!

In my lifetime we have gone from BMW telling you how the near 50:50 weight distribution made it the ultimate driving machine, through the trend of making oversized SUVs look nimble by showing them driving through totally deserted cities, to now not even bothering to show the car moving at all.

And Toyota made a digital fantasy advert for the GT86 showing it being driven spiritedly and they banned it! Pathetic.

The Ford is just parked in the woods & has a fancy stereo.
Plus all the new pronunciations... Skoda, Renault.

I heard an advert on the radio the other day for a Honda and they used the term "power" and then went on to say the car had USB ports in the rear

If you lost sight in one eye and wear a patch ...........then you should be driving a new VW T-Roc.

It's frothy man.

You must be as old as me. That advert taught the young me a valuable lesson - advertisers lie to you. The product didn't live up to the hype.

C’mon, be fair. Their cream soda was liquid crack back in the 70s. Lovely

Ribena.
Apparently it prevents crap driving. What the fk? What the actual fk?

Saw it last night, what a crap advert.

Had to go and look this up - assume its this one https://youtu.be/9gXmuBN10ZA

I’m still wondering what that was all about, but i guess thats the point although I certainly don’t want to buy Ribena

I just forced myself to watch it, what a fking load of st. What fking banana actually puts that together and thinks yeah that’s a great ad campaign? fking bellends

I would honestly set fire to them all

Also I can only assume all the comments in the sidebar are from shill accounts as they’re over-the-top enthusiastically endorse it.

Sure.
If it provides 72 hour protection, why does skateboarder apply it out of doors just before skateboarding?

Wtf Ribena

Almost as bad as their ‘artisan’ Andrew - "blackcurrants are my paint; the field my canvas"

Irritating as Hipster Artisan Blackcurrant Whisperer is, at least it has narrative integrity; some berk who can't drive crashing his car and hallucinating about an ugly cat has none.

Radio advert while I was driving the other day.

Cinch, featuring Rylan flogging mo’ahs. But that wasn’t even the worst of it.

No, this one used a real pet hate of mine, a realistic car horn BEEP BEEP sound effect I’m a pretty chilled out dude but one thing guaranteed to send me into a rage and pull over and go full Kenneth Noye on someone it’s them beeping their fking horn at me for no reason.

Note to smart arsed advertising cockwombles who think any vaguely motoring related radio ad needs a beep beep sound effect… fk OFF

Same with the plus-sized, sorry body-positive, black woman doing the exercise class. Why would you want to stop yourself sweating.......................at an exercise class??

That said, I did once see a person spend 5 minutes shunting backwards and forwards to get into a teeny tiny parking space, right next to the door of my local leisure centre, just so they didn't have to walk too far to their exercise class!!

If people are going to do that, then maybe people do want to stop themselves sweating during exercise.

The Trade Centre UK.

At first I thought my TV was broken, its has no sound in the advert at all.

I saw an advert for Formula E on C4 while on wirk trip this, weekend in hotel room.

I was sat staring at it as it went on and in, with 3 parkouring drivers in full kit after getting out of their crashed cars running through a city with proclamations of climate Doom on telly etc, then get back to start line of track to 'race' the cars on foot to the line...

In the words of the Critical drinker "WHAT... THE... fk!"

That has an idea for some entertainment. Have the Critical Drinker review some of the more bizarre adverts

It always amuses me when groups say they are all about saving the planet.
When the best thing for the planet would be for them to stop doing what they are doing and go home.

In the above case, carting vehicles and humans all around the planet using fossil fuelled transport.
