Why is Clive Owen doing betting ads?

Probably been mentioned already.

Renault Kadjir with the robotic/cgi/weird looking girl

Clearly I'll never buy a Renault, (the Clio 16v and 19 16v are old memories now..) but who exactly sees this ad and goes YES I want a car from them

Vauxhall appear to have dropped their part ex adverts (you know, the ones where they couldn't decide whether they wanted to offer £3k or £4k trade in depending on which advert you watched) with one with a guy pretending to be an MP offering a supposed "government incentive" with the discount being the equivalent of VAT / 20% if you buy a Vauxhall.

Did someone in marketing sit there and think, "everyone really likes politicians in this country and what they're doing (or not) at the moment, so let's create a crappy advert based around a fake one".

After due consideration, I still wasn't sure what they were offering nor did I much give a sh**

Nationwide are now a terrorist organisation as far as I am concerned.

They have some ‘stand ups’ doing bits about how useless they are with money.
And with enthusiastic canned laughter where a polite smile might have been a more likely audience response.

How people will deal these on repeat is beyond me.

Nationwide have by far the worst adverts on TV. They are consistently sh*te. They should either fire their advertising agency, or the senior management who OK the ads, or preferably both. I would never use Nationwide purely on the quality (or lack of) of their TV ads.

They went from a pair of annoying bhes to and even worse stand up pricks.

However I have recently switched banks to them - I do hope they realise it was for the £200 and not the s on their ads !!!

Meerkats. Now stupid baby ones as well! Just make it stop, please. I will never, ever go anywhere near that website as a result of their ridiculous, infantile advertising.
The young ones aren't new, are they? Didn't they abandon them in the wild a few years ago, or am I imagining that?

Caught the end of a new advert last night (might have been for biscuits) where people are having one of their fingers grow really long.

What the hell's that all about - it freaked me right out!

Sixt.

What is actually going on in these adverts?

Couple parked up in hirecar clearly looking for a bit of dogging and some chap in the bushes comes out performing a variety of skits for some unknown purpose only to be told how much their rental was and then they drive off!

And if you’re in a position to tell some weirdo how much you paid, you never say from £49, you say it costs £49 a day.

Weird as fk. although she is quite fit

The Nationwide ones are utter ste - they also go on for ages.

Saw a Pepsi Max one earlier - same message that they've been using for decades: we're not as good/popular as Coke.

Not a terrible ad as such but surely it's time to try something new.

Do you mean a black man and a white woman? Anyone ever seen a black woman with a white man on an advert?
