Isn't that Sun Bingo? Sun Nifty Fifty - does my head in too, you really have to wonder firstly who thought it up, then who thought it was a good idea, then who commissioned it. Almost as hateful as all those smug army/air force reserve/forces in general adverts: we're better than you and we're cool as f*** too.
It’s definitely Betfred.

The Advert for Betfred which has a lyrically changed version of Jerry Lee Lewis's 'Great Balls Of Fire'
I don't know why, but it just does my head in.

Time that Snoop Dogg f

The Deliveroo cyclist - he never explains that you can expect your delivered package to be swimming in spilled sauces. The backpack is invariably at an angle of 45degrees and I can assure you after 20 years of fast-food delivery myself, if the delivery is Chinese or Indian meals, the sauce will have left its container and will have leaked all over everything in the bag. Do the insulated backpacks have a built-in gyroscope?

Go Compare are leaving no corner of the barrel unscraped with their opera singer at home ads. It's all a bit tragic.

I'm pretty sure he doesnt write the advert scripts...
See, I was getting the impression this is exactly what HAD happened, lack of new ideas due to lockdown, ad space already booked, leave it to Giuseppe (or whatever his name is) to come up with something, Giuseppe spots an opportunity for a bit of self promotion!I admit, I have definitely thought about this more than is necessary.
Anything flogging Christmas and / or Halloween at the moment. There's already a couple of companies running adverts along the lines of spending big now to save Christmas from Covid.
Especially the "Halloween at home" ads being run by various companies & supermarkets. I'm definitely not one of the Extinction Rebellion types but try to do my bit, but the same companies that spend most of the year saying about how we all need to come together to save the planet, etc, then spend a month telling people to buy cheap st, costumes, etc, that gets used for one day before being chucked into landfill, etc - yep that's saving the planet

The yoof who takes home a cold Maccy D burger to his mother having sat in his car to scoff his first.
He also buys everything with the money his mum had left in the car from the time she owned it. So technically mum paid for her own food rather than it being a "thankyou for the car" from the son as the ad suggests.Then there's the, likely, thought process of "let's channel The Inbetweeners, but make sure it's a newer Fiat & a different colour yellow, just incase we have an issue with copyright".

Also, I don’t get the sneering looks of the other yoofs on the street when matey boy cruises past in his Fiat on the way to McDonalds, but the apparent admiring glances he gets on the way back. Very odd.

2) I'm pleased the girl getting the pound from the shopping trolley is back. I like the way she does the "magic trick". Perhaps I need to get out more?
3) Advertisers should realise that it's not good to have a funny advert that is only funny the first time you see it and then becomes annoying. Like the "You don't have to do the yoga" one.
