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

I mute the TV when either the 'Just Eat' or 'Perf with Surf' advert appear, the latter being unbearable!!

What I don’t get with that Surf one is why they would commission an ad for a product that a large proportion of viewers require, that likely appeals to a small proportion of same viewers (females aged 14-18 I would imagine).

Curry's PC World - new ad promoting Facetiming / zooming a staff member instore for help / advice before buying the item online.

Every time I see it I want to shout "just plug it in while using it".

Yes, me too. She's obviously got a laptop good enough for doing video chats, so a long extension lead would be plenty.

It is plugged in, on the bed. Her needs are clearly stated "staying in bed all weeked to watch stuff", this is completely ignored and a long battery life is recommended, nice, but not part of the brief at all.

Do the staff not fking listen to the customers?

it's an advert that simultaneously portrays how useless retail staff really are (in chain stores at least) and also how pointless the human contact element is if you actually value good advice rather than some perceived need to say words to a person so they can say words back (not in response, just in sequence) before purchasing.

It perfectly captures the high street retail experience in a nutshell, for me. It's almost art.

So true, so pointless, so depressing

To add to the Curry's PC World theme - there's another one running with a bloke doing an awful green screen bit of acting while various electrical goods spin around this head. It looks like it's been put together really quickly in someone's loft / basement and the images of various goods have just been cut / pasted from screengrabs of previous ads / brochures. Partly confirmed by the picture of the TV, that helpfully features a sticker on it saying "New for 2019"

Also, the "Enjoy Summer" advert from HM Government that started up earlier on Friday evening to coincide with certain restrictions being lifted. I have a feeling that's going to be spammed to death on various ad breaks for some time.

I listen to radio a lot at work, and the thing that gets me about radio advertising is the fact that they get actors to read out terms and conditions stupidly fast,
Nobody listens to it, even if it is legal, nobody cares, not on person listening I'm sure!

If the offer is so crazy that you need to read out this nonsense based on surveys or ridiculous insurance quotes for example come up with a better offer that suits everyone, not that make your stats sound amazing. I would deliberately avoid companies that do this kind of thing, I really would.

Do they think everyone is stupid? Or is that the point

They are legally obliged to read out that stuff and they are paying for every second it takes to read.
It's the aural equivalent of the small print.

Advanced Hair clinic advert with Shane Warne and Darren Gough having a terrible wooden scripted conversation. I hate to see what the rejected takes were like.

[LukeBrown66]

I sort of knew why they read it out, but nobody pays any attention whatsoever to it, so shy not advertise offers that do not need 5 seconds of gibberish? Or maybe they have none!

My only complaint, given that she's proper posh totty, and has a very nice bum, is that it's only featured at the very beginning of the advert, so it's almost impossible to admire it properly unless you happen to be entranced by the preceding ad, and catch it almost by accident or default.

Or if you have Sky+ and rewind it, of course.

Why do some ads just say "Ts & Cs apply" then instead of actually reading out ALL of them individually?

And why can’t ALL ads say Ts & Cs apply. Legal obligations or not surely that covers everything?

It's because some of the public need protecting from themselves, or rather, usurious interest rates.

They either all need to read them out or they don't...

Spectacular bum/hips and I’ll add legs, soon as she is out of the gym off it goes.

[Jukebag]

Any advert pushing this Covid "stay at home, save lives, social distance applies" new normal nonsense to promote some big or small business. Everything from conservatory windows to British Gas is jumping in on this. And then all those ads were the family are talking to families through smart phones and computers as if that is better than physical interaction. Speaking of those ads, but how did those companies manage to produce those ads so quickly after the lockdown?.

Step One underwear.

Some tubby bloke in a t-shirt and boxers going on about how his legs chafe together when he walks and how comfortable and amazing these new boxers are.

If I was him, I'd be more worried of where my nobs gone as wearing them pants makes it look like it can magically make it disappear.

My eyes aren't the same anymore.
