I keep getting that as well, and wonder if her fee is being paid to "Naga Munchetty Ltd" in a tax avoidance measure about as exciting as the ones in the Panama Papers that she was so exercised by when interviewing people in the financial services sector at the time.

The plethora of "we have been wonderful during the pandemic and are here for you" adverts from banks, supermarkets and now Specsavers are really bloody annoying. Just like celebs who insist on telling you how much they give to charity.
Just shut up and get on with your money making businesses.

On the basis of the post above, we can therefore add the new Amazon ones that are kicking in. All featuring employees of Amazon, from different career backgrounds that are now working within the company, saying how proud they are to work for Amazon and how great they've been during Covid keeping the country running.

McDonalds post CV19 lockdown advert is also pretty laughable telling everyone how they're re-opening and keeping everyone safe while providing takeaway food and pointing out the steps they've taken to meet the "Corona Secure" guidelines. Shame the advert isn't also telling people not to cause stupid tailbacks on roads leading to some of their drive thru outlets due to all the bellends sitting in a queue waiting for their food.

On the flip side, the Wren Kitchens ad where the gym bunny swigs the green stuff straight out of the blender and gags.. that's funny.

Ad's just aren't funny any more, at all... or am I missing a gem due to all my ads being focussed at me being ' you are gonna die soon, so buy this '..

I think the ad agencies are terrified to offend anybody. The world is full of snowflakes/woke who find fault in everything. They've lost the will to innovate and have any sort of humour in their ads.

All the dickhe*ds finding " a new way of watching football" on some cold and clinical multiscreen facade, as if it wasn't tedious enough already.

The poor sods in the adverts cant see the mass redundancies that are coming "Thanks for doing the adverts guys and girls, but as we now realise nobody used the branches during the pandemic,we are going to close the lot and out source the other bits to call handlers in India"

Someone who works in a lab doing Covid tests uses Carex handcream. God, the desperation to create such a tenuous bandwagon jumping link is just painfull.

This! I don't even understand the point they are trying to make?

Santander has video chats with random strangers over the internet, WTF?
