...... sponsored by Angel Has Fallen.

The ad agency behind that film seem to have gone overboard with the amount of different channels / tv shows they've paid for sponsor slots on.

Blimey, that Nationwide “comedian” ad is pure excrement, could they find a more unfunny standup.

Been listening to Radio4 airing new talent

All ste, disproportionate number of women who have either

Made fun of themselves for being fat (well done luv)

Made fun of themselves for being a Jewish lesbian (well done luv)

Made fun of themselves for being ugly (well done luv)

Made fun of themselves for being a Taurus (well done luv)

All as funny as aids. Each one some crap comedian who, after each st punchline, would apologise in some way to win the crowd over.

The fat ugly jew lesbian has had a bloody show commissioned by the bbc. Guess she ticks every box.

I think the ""Topical" Comedy on Radio 4" thread is the thread you are seeking.

The new one for Coke, which starts off with a woman guzzling Coke. Then we’re treated to a view of the inside of her gob, before we head off on adventures with her and her tongue. (No, not like that...!) Then after a day of fun at the beach and dancing, we’re back inside the gaping maw of the Coke guzzler.

A seriously unattractive ad, and one I hope is consigned to the annals of history ASAP.

I just came on here to post that! Believe it or not you could get an E28 with an airbag, but the steering wheel was hideous and I think it was limited to the M5s (which that definitely wasn't). And the steering wheel was hideous as a result.

Another one I feel would be banned were the roles reversed

The crunchy nut cornflakes one with the girl on her dating app and the ugly looking bloke.
Had that been good looking guy and ugly girl, I suspect there would be much outrage, a ban and a grovelling apology/resignation from the marketing manager.

Equality means the same rule for all.

Not TV but every fking YouTube clip is now sponsored by fking 'Grammarly'.
YouTube have a ridiculous amount of advertising these days. It used to be an occasional short advert before some videos, but now there are two ads before every clip - sometimes both ads are the same, and sometimes the ads are several minutes long. Yes, you can skip them but it's irritating and has made YouTube practically unusable for playlists.

I get that they need to make money but one short advert before each clip should suffice. And not be 'Grammarly' or 'Netflix' every sodding time.

I think that’s probably a deliberate piss take. Seems everything is the official whatever it is of something else, so you get the official beer of the England football team and other such ridiculous nonsense.
Oh Antony you make me seriously LOL at times with your stuff. I came across a post from you on the Steph McGovern thread and I was in tears with it. You are one of the unsung heroes on PH

There’s a Guinness ad with a bloke riding a horse through the bronx. Kept him on the straight and narrow apparently. hehe

There’s also another current Guinness ad of a women's rugby team seemingly getting absolutely hammered.

Must make the advertising authorities conflicted.
Booze fun = bad
Women’s rugby team = good
Ethnic women’s rugby team = fk yeah!

What's this "Perf with Surf?"

Perfunctory, perfidious, perforated?

Perfume I am guessing.

No worse than in the 60s when the TV jingle went:
"Fairy Snow is great
It's got perborate
It gets right to the heart of the wash...."

Thanks to the internet:
"Sodium perborate is an active form of oxygen used to whiten, brighten, clean, and deodorize. Sodium perborate may be used in a large number of cleaning products, such as laundry detergents, automatic dishwasher detergents, oxygen powder bleaches, fabric softeners, hand dishwashing detergents, all-purpose cleaners, air fresheners, and stain removers. Products like Oxi-Clean are almost entirely made up of this substance."

I had assumed, possibly incorrectly, that the "Perf" was a reference to "perfect"

I think you might be entirely too intelligent for the world of advertising. Perf in this case is terrible slang for Perfect.
