Huawei 30 Pro ... It's a phone, not the answer to photography and the sheer frequency of the ad ensures you know where your money is going...

But it’s good to know there’s a nice Chinese person keeping an eye on you. wink

The cringeworthy advert for Enterprise featuring Gerard Butler speed ordering a Merc cabriolet whilst parachuting away from "the bad guys" that ends with him "landing" in the Merc.

Also KFC's new "wot tha cluck" advert.

Couldn't agree more...

Also energy companies are businesses. If we use less energy, their revenue reduces and prices need to go up to compensate.

The AA advert with the child. I'm sorry but I've nothing against the girl and it's all down to clever editing but I hate the fking advert. It makes me cringe.

The AA man at the end who puts his fist up and the end with "yeah". I expect him off camera to say "What a load of wk".

Car adverts, generally, these days.

There was one today for a Citroen something-or-other, where the main selling points were "11 driving aids" and "increased connectivity". Lots of guff in the small print concerning deposits and monthly payments and mileage restrictions etc etc etc. Where's the excitement? Christ, even the Austin Allegro adverts in the 1970's tried half-convincingly that it had a bit of brio in it by sliding one around a quarry and getting air.

It's almost as if advertising execs these days are a bunch of fking wet-wipes, where the most exciting thing they do each day is wk off over a friend's Instagram pic of their lunch / dinner / baby / new shoes.

Advertising standards and the enjoyment police/“Brake” have taken 99% of the pleasure out of driving. Unless youre lucky enough to have some rural roads nearby the only thing they can use to sell a car is the claptrap you’ve mentioned.

This particular advert really pushes my buttons. Let's use a really fking stupid message to almost force a pointless smart meter to customers.

FRO.

I'm glad someone's identified what the product is; every time I watched something on yootoob it appeared and I was at a loss as to what they were trying to sell, something of a failure on the part of the twerps in the advertising agency.

Sunlife over 50s funeral plan

Not only is the guy carrying on with June. He is now sniffing round women at the garden centre
A lot of older blokes do that
Haha! And there’s the other ad, where the Mum is harping on about getting an over 50’s plan to her daughter, who then says, straight faced: “what’s an over 50’s plan?”

What the f**k? What do you think it is, you bloody idiot...
Sadly, I think the modern generation think that whenever two people meet who are over 50, the conversation always turns to the cost of funerals and death plans. In reality, we talk about beer, fast cars and hot chicks and don't give a sh*t if we die or not.

I have my funeral plans sorted...


Apparently according to Wikipedia, it's called a skip from the work "skep", used to describe a basket. I never knew that.

Are you a June fan too ? I think she could be a bit of a bedroom firebrand myself

That clown on the Oral-B advert - "I didn't even know Oral-B made a toothpaste!" laughing. Laughing because she's insulting my intelligence. I hope she chokes on the fking toothpaste.
I find it very annoying because I find people laughing at nothing very very annoying.
There is an older apprentice I work with that just laughs at everything. He is useless but because he laughs all the time the other drones think he is a great lad.
