Santander again with Ant and Dec, surprising some old dear on teams or zoom or some other bks that is popular now, who misses her family, so they arrange for her to see them and the bloody dog!! So fking contrived and fake!! Makes my piss boil!!

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

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

It's the "we care for your mental health" bandwagon

LLoyds got in their first with the post it notes on heads Q+A
Santander don't want to be left out

We have a "Mind" charity shop on our High Street, near the Lloyds. As I'm supposed to get advice on mental health from Lloyds, maybe I should call into Mind for banking advice?

I wouldn't actually mind if they surprised video call me tbh.

I'd make them re-enact the scene from Byker Grove when PJ gets shot in the eye from a paintball gun.

A new one to me is where a guy is "challenged to test this new 55 inch TV" What kind of a challenge is it to watch TV?

All of the nationwide ones as well obviously. I would actually avoid using them now if there are viable alternatives

I challenge you to watch Love Island? Celebrity anything? Emmerdale? EastEnders? X-Factor?

Amazon still trying to persuade us they’re a nice employer, this time with Joe the delivery driver telling us they’re like a family...

Just seen that. Had to hold back the virtue vomit. Why does Amazon even need to advertise?

I suspect it’s a charm offensive designed to portray them as inclusive, caring employers (and failing miserably).

Because some of these high street bds won't give up. They need to crush them all.

I've just seen the Sky BLM adverts.

FFS. band wagon jumping or what?

because they're on top - other companies are gunning for that spot, and they have a horrid reputation for being pricks, so i assume they want to tackle the perception issues. You might say there is only one way that can go, over time. I am sure they will have their time in the sun for some time yet though.

That ‘baker’ in the Lloyds business ad is getting on my wick.
Claps his flour covered hands together and, look, the flour goes everywhere!

[Philbar]

Again further to my Ant and fking Dec .. there comes another one! I really really hope Santander call me .. I'd tell them to shove the little pot of mint right up Dec's jacksy sideways without lubricant, wide end first!!..

Youtube adverts.

Just eating my Raisin bran, cue the dramatic music and someone pulling a big lump of crud out of a womans ear with tweezers.

And, Grammarly - How the hell does a grammar checker pay for millions of adverts like that ?

"This is Tyler"

fk OFF TYLER

Not to forget the vomit inducing version of "Nothing's going to stop us now" by a load of kids for Sky.

The Kids are Virgin actually
It's safe to say it's not made the best impression in your home

Gotta feel sorry for anyone who's paid for the advertising slot immediately after that Virgin advert, because I'm sure not many people will see or hear it after switching over/off when the kids start singing.

DO IT FOR YORKSHIRE!

Shut up you old has-Bean.

Money Supermarket. It's not so much the bull, more it's body waste is the word I would use to describe this ad

Agreed, it’s a fking terrible advert, currently the worst one on TV in my opinion, whoever thought that it would make great viewing needs to be hung, drawn and quartered......

Purple Bricks and "Team GB" run them all close.
Absolute rubbish.

On a similar theme, Harry Styles' "Watermelon Sugar High" makes me want to smash my radio up, lazy, lazy crap song.
