Barclaycard reshowing the Simon Cowell repayment calculator thing

As a warning of the perils of cosmetic surgery its ok
I know Cowell is camp on a good day, but he does look particularly effete on that advert.

Self charging that uses two sources of power. Petrol and Electric. NO, It uses one and that's Petrol. It charges the batteries but you don't get something for nothing.

A radio advert for some oat bars or oat drink, not sure which as I mute it. It's done in the style of the American radio DJ in Reservoir Dogs but he's doing his top 5 favourite jingles for their product.

I’m afraid I know. It’s for Oatly vegan milk.

The new adverts from various companies all trying to be low impact environmentally friendly
Some of it is unintentionally funny

In fairness to Vauxhall, though preachy and self-righteous bilge, far better than their old chav adverts.
And let's not forget the nadir of their adverts with Griff Rhys Jones. In his pants.

Nationwide the new adverts very dull
Making Time by Valerie. The lady in this picture



On the plus side I can't help but imagine Valerie just dressed in underwear and that red zip up thing as in the advert,

I’m surprised they’re getting away with those adverts, it’s basically encouraging old people to piss their equity up the wall. If a gambling company did the same all hell would break loose.

Sorry if previously mentioned - it's a long thread - but the Barclays Springboard Mortgage ad; aaaargh, the incredibly annoying female character. Chucks her stuff on the floor, then turns her music up to full blast now she's got her own place. Even though it appears to be night time. Exactly the kind of neighbour I would hate to have!
This. It's obviously a small terraced house as well.

Selfish cow. I want Dave the cat to leap on her stupid smug face and gouge her eyes out.

I am convinced Nationwide's advertising tactic is to ps off everybody so much they will buy their products to stop the need to advertise. Can't think of any other reason why they consistently have the worst adverts on TV!

As long as the groom and groom don't go to a restaurant and sit in the window to specifically admire their Sportage I don't care.

I've been walking along the street during primetime and seen 2 blokes kissing - it didn't make me angry.

I can remember back in the 1990s watching a primetime soap set in Liverpool and seeing 2 women kissing. That didn't make me angry either.

I have no issue with same sex couples being together, I have relatives who are and they are as happy as can be, more so than most couples I know.

But as with endlessly interracial families, it does not need ramming down our throats by scared witless over inclusive marketing wazarks.

it simply puts people off.

I know they probably think they are being very brave, current and appealing, but in all honesty, tell me about the product, don't use shock gimmicks to make me try and buy stuff. I can't imagine gay groups suddenly being all "wow" about it either to be honest, it is patronising.

Advertising never ceases to amaze me, it is constant wonder of the depths people will go to to earn a few quid, must be one of the most soulless, insipid industries around!

BT with their Halo advert - pretty much continuing from where their "rebrand" ad last year left off.

And one of the guys looks multi racial, and the other has a kilt on.. they did some overtime on this one.

And to top it all.. when I read the reply to this, this was the ad that was in the pop up.... they are watching us.

I was watching "Deadwater Fall" on catchup last night and as a result was exposed to many adverts I wouldn't normally have seen.

As a straight, white middle aged man I was relieved to see that I wasn't targeted by any of the advertisers at all ! .. it was actually quite liberating in a way smile

I doubt it made the OP - Cheeses angry either.
It's a parody account. And I hope its a good one.
