The "Rapping" in any recent KFC ad, accompanied by a overly-happy gang dancing around the streets due to the Trans-Fat laden chicken pumping through their veins.

They are "Clucking" awful

Wow, chow kapow and all that st and then "What the Cluuuuck" made to sound like fk but they have obviously had to tone it down due to complaints.

Must work for the target market though, I am not really a big KFC fan, am not a snob about it and am happy with most stuff but just remember the clientele in the Stockport one, three lads in grey tracksuit bottoms and one in the queue with his hands down the front of them just before handing his money over. Quite apart from the loud and offensive conversation they were having.

Maybe it really stands for "Krap For Chavs" ?

And the Creme Egg one, possibly a little too near the bone (fnarr) as not sure we need to see anyone on a confectionary advert using chocolate eggs as part of foreplay, personally not offended in the slightest but expect it may upset quite a few that one. And Creme Eggs are minging nowadays anyway, used to have a nice vanilla sort of hint but now just seem to be overpoweringly sweet, Mini Eggs still seemed to be laced with some kind of sweet drug though.

I think pretty much all fast food delivery ads are probably appropriate for their target market.

On that note there’s some firm who ship you all the ingredients of a meal with instructions, all in a box.
All you have to do is make it.

And then there are some talking heads saying how great it is.

Do they not know about shops and recipies?

Was just coming on to post the same (angry middle aged man with nothing better to do than get upset by advert )
It's been on the radio for a while but I've only just realised how much it grates me, ring-a-ding-ding off you fktards.

Its just grates, nothing to do with age, its the music, the crap rapping and saying "Cluck" so it sounds like fk.

I remember some hilarity at home as a teenager, some Birds Eye Chicken product that the ad for went, "Cluck, Cluck Cluck Off", we all went "what did they say" at the same time

All holiday ads.

“We’re in the middle of a global pandemic caused and spread by international travel. But heck, you deserve a break. And honest, there’s none of it over here, it’s just totally normal, no masks or anything, all just busy beaches and bars. There’s no need to take any personal responsibility at all, really there isn’t. Plus we promise we’ll give you your money back when you can’t go. Book now”

agreed - your jobs are all at risk, you might not be able to feed your family, the country is massively in debt supporting furlough workers and industries which have made billions in profit over the year, so please hand your money over for us to keep in the hope of a holiday sometime in the future - and if we go under, or the virus comes back a fresh, dont worry, UKgov will fly you back and you can go on the BBC and complain about having to wait for a plane for a few days and having to self isolate with a new Covid Variant you brought back and how its terrible for you because you wanted to enjoy your first outside BBQ of the year with your entire family to show off your tan - aw shame.

Meanwhile NHS frontline staff work constantly 24/7 for another year, to help your 80 year old grandma who somehow caught the virus after you kissed her goodbye before your holiday because hey, it will never happen to you...............

- i perhaps embellish a little

Perhaps the new business model is to hold people's money for several months before handing it back? Much like my energy company and the huge credit balance that builds up, despite my direct debit being "reviewed regularly".

One of the big power companies I used to be with would review and raise my payments, saying this was about right.

When I left, they had about £400 in credit they had to refund and had kept secret.

Now I'm with OVO, any excess attracts 3% interest which I can't even get close to, on my savings, so all good!

Maccy D's endlessly advertising on Spotify, it is every damn ad if you dont pay they are clearly not making any money as their ad revenues ,must be through the roof with the endless spamming they are throwing at Spotify, it makes me less likely to use them. Always.

They are just saying "Were still here" and folk are booking stuff as there are guarantees in place, they have seen their businesses decimated and are trying to keep going against all the odds so can forgive them sticking the odd advert on, I see the TUI ones and it makes me feel a bit sad/sorry for them and their staff, had a few great holidays with them. Not generally given to sympathising with large corporations but this has been pretty grim for anyone in the travel industry.

My eldest works for Ryanair and he has had pay cuts and so much uncertainty which isn't over yet, having been made redundant from Thomas Cook, had to move to Scotland for his job with Ryanair and on the morning he signed for his first flat he got a notice of potential redundancy. Same for many industries but travel has been utterly battered.



As for annoying, Ford Puma skiing one with the "Ahhhhh Ahhhh Ahhh" screechy music, grates like nothing else.
