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

Asda ... still running with that annoying y tt

[JmatthewB]

Royal Navy running the advert again targeting urban, female hippity-hop enthusiasts.

They must have already recruited everyone between Carlisle and Blyth.

Yes, please make the drivel stop.

Sadly my idea failed and the bloody thing is on every advert break. Please, please go away!!!

What IS goodness in food? It means sod all.

On that, I really dislike the new trend for using the word "wellness".

Both are meaningless which allows advertisers to use them with impunity to describe things as 'wholesome food' when they're processed sludge or a candle that smells of nether regions as promoting wellness.

[Bluedot]

Can't believe Michael Buerk feels the need to sell himself out flogging some limited edition gold tat.
Thought he'd have a bit more class than that

[Cupramax]

Alesha Dixon and her soft focus Tresemme makes me feel “super fresh” bks.

[Cupramax]

Oh and while I’m at it, that massive throbber Jamie Redknapp with Heycar, he won’t be winning an Oscar unless they make them from wood.

Has anyone pointed out that Rylan Clark-Neal says "anyways" instead of "anyway" in the Cinch advert?

Anything that vacuous varnished tt says is annoying.

The latest drivel from nationwide about the workers in coffee houses and the communal pot, total hypocrisy from nationwide who where the first people to pull 90% mortgages etc.

I read in the times about a couple, they had a mortgage 2 years ago with nationwide, then when they came to remortgage at 75% nationwide said no as they had for some reason changed their lending critia??

That's a bit unfair on Nationwide, all lenders pulled 90% LTV lending at the same time and Nationwide were one of the first back in and without the ridiculous palaver that some lenders set up.

Their criteria changes all the time, all lenders do the same.

One thing that's been bugging me is the new advert by Barclays and I'm 90% certain that the background music is a slowed down version of The Prodigy - Out of Space.

I expect everyone else already knows this but I'm chuffed to have remembered it.

Yes it is,I was talking about this earlier to the other half, another song from our clubbing days used in an advert.

I heard on the radio earlier that the ASA upheld 2,300 complaints made about the Ryanair "Jab and Go" advert. That would explain why we've not seen it lately.

[AlexRS2782]

Saw one this evening for another one of the many chargable Peleton services. Who knew that "Peleton Meditation" was now a thing?

Evidently, they only decided to uphold the complaint yesterday & demanded the advert be removed immediately from all platforms - which is all rather pointless considering that the ad had already come to a natural end about 10 days ago as the Christmas / New Year sale it was promoting had ended I guess Covid delayed them making a decision as that seems to be the standard reason for most things at the moment

"Plant based", in everything.

I have a feeling I saw this mentioned before, but now every advert family or couple is mixed-race.

Fair enough, but I wonder why it's always white man & black woman, as opposed to the other way round?

Is black man & white woman offensive and I haven't had the memo?

Not slowed down, more a new arrangement. It's a nice touch

Coincidentally Out of Space was one of the music choices at my wife's funeral last week. Everybody in the place agreed she would have whole-heartedly approved.

I mentioned this one a few pages back.

Having thought about it, I can only assume that the “super fresh” feeling is because it’s not the hair on her head that she’s colouring...

Jeremy Corbyn appears to be advertising "over-50's life insurance" now.

Cinch is (Asian / Coloured?) man & white woman.

He's called Brian or something similar
