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

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" Philbar said:
