Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up. (Vol 2)
Discussion
The Lucozade ad with the yes, yes, yes, no, no, no, trickshot. It's been running since the early stages of lockdown in March / April and they're still running it now. I guess nobody else submitted a trickshot video, using the hashtag on the ad, for them to use if they're still running the same crap.

Bloody Lucozade. Come on, where is the lovely sickly coloured cellophane wrapping?whitesocks said:
I saw the latest Wiltshire Farm Foods advert earlier. It had the delivery bloke laughing and chatting with an OAP customer, whilst it's pissing down with rain.
No delivery person would stand on somebodies doorstep when it's lashing it down.
In the adverts I have seen the silver minx states that the delivery person wont pop in for a chat as they normally doNo delivery person would stand on somebodies doorstep when it's lashing it down.
These adverts are very convincing and the Lamb with redcurrant and red wine sauce followed by reduced sugar lemon sponge and custard
Like with most things though, the general reality / quality or what's delivered by them may not always match / live up to the description of the food as shown on the ads (i know, surprise, right 
)
But seriously, in the last few years my gran was alive & housebound, that was one of the companies occasionally used for food deliveries to make life easier for her and the relatives / carers when it came to quick meals when needed. Given the costs / charges involved, in some cases you'd realise it would probably have been far easier / less expensive just getting similar ready made stuff from the usual supermarkets instead of what was being delivered.

Those bloody ‘nationwide’ adverts with the irritating ‘poets’. Ooohhhh myyyyyy skyfairrrry.
Quoted to keep this current. Just because it hasn't been mentioned for ten days or so, no one should be under any illusion that these are anything but the worst adverts on TV. Nickp82 said:

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.

The self-satisfied VW ID3 and it's " net carbon neutral" guff which is meaningless unless they explain how and where the offset is.
The same ad agency were also responsible for the gushing Audi "the future's an attitude" adverts.Funnily enough, Amazon also started running their carbon neutral offering earlier on Monday evening - similar promises which probably won't live up to expectations by the time the date it's all due by in about 25 to 30 years.
On a side note, the CV related ads / announcements are growing again - i assume in preparation for Lockdown 2 - BoJo's Revenge. Wickes have moved to work zoom calls and interior design envy & fake backgrounds, whilst the Guiness advert about the sisters playing Rugby for England & Scotland, now features the "filmed in 2019 before current restrictions were in place" as if we couldn't use our own common sense to figure that rather obvious point out.

Anyone else somewhat vexed by the way the woman reverses the Volvo off the driveway in the ad where the reversing sensors (if that's what they're called) stop her whole family being wiped out by a truck? Surely if she's reversing out of a drive where tall hedges block the view, her main concern should be to do it carefully enough to avoid running into pedestrians who she would encounter before she even gets onto the road?

Yes, technically she is breaking the law reversing out on to a main road. But that is what the director will have wanted.

If the visibility is so bad she should be reversing it in anyway, sensors or no sensors.Leftfootwonder said:
