Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up. (Vol 2)
Discussion
I’ve come to the conclusion that TV companies will accept any old tat as long as the money keeps rolling in.
With everything only a click away now if you need it... why spend loads on the quality of an advert.
A few ‘actors’ spouting rubbish / acting stupid... as long as the brand / message gets across, but don’t worry about the potential customers suffering their dismal content every five minutes.

That’s probably it. I’ve said it a few times on here; advertising used to attract some of the brightest because it had to. Hence the high quality of some old-school ads. Ridley Scott and Salman Rushdie, for instance, started out in advertising.With everything only a click away now if you need it... why spend loads on the quality for an advert.

Also compared to the past, there are just so many more adverts around as opposed to enough to be on 2 commercial channels. So the "talent" in the industry is spread so much more thinly - to the point that in plenty of cases there is clearly none 
Maybe another part of it is also that so many of the adverts now are not for physical products, or shops as such but for various services - which would give a very uninteresting subject matter to work with

I wonder how much Judi Dench got paid to reprise her role of M for the Money Super Seven advert that i spotted during the BTCC coverage.
To follow on from the previous comments relating to home delivery apps, i think it's fair to add the Gorillaz advert promoting home delivery services in London, that was being shown repeatedly during the BTCC as well.

I'm sure someone else has mentioned it but the current On The Beach advert with the smug bunch of pricks making out they are something special.
See Smug family bypassing everyone at passport control - not likely
See Smug woman kicking flip flop off into some guys face who looks dismayed - in real life, he'd have been up off the sun lounger faster than Usain Bolt.
See Smug child lording it up over another child whose ice cream has hit the floor - in real life, she would have pushed it into his stupid fat face
See Smug man run and do a flying leap to land facing his family on the beach - in real life the fat prick wouldn't have been able to jump like that and if he did, he would have landed on his fat arse.
Absolute cobblers and giving the false impression being smug is good.

The latest Deliveroo advert, the one that makes going out to get a pint of milk seem like the most dangerous expedition in the world.
Jesus H Christ!!!! For the last two years we have all been bemoaning having to stay inside, as we were locked down, and then locked down again.
And now, now when we have our freedoms again, we can go on holiday again and see relatives again Deliveroo would have us believe that going out for something as simple as a pint of milk is a virtual death sentence.
According to their ad, if you go outside you have to deal with people, and weather, and queues, and ..............................wolves.
No, no you little snowflakes, stay in doors and get us to bring that single pint of milk to you.
Deliveroo can just f**k right off, and when they get there they can f**k off some more.

Renault - Friend comes to pick other friend up in blue car, they both clearly support a team in red. Friend exclaims “BLUE?!” Other friend says “oh get in!” Other friend gets in and spends entire time trying to hide the fact he’s wearing a red shirt in a blue car.
Friend who objected to the blue car has red car in his driveway - if its such a big bloody deal why not go in his car?

The advert for the contraceptive pills, can't remember the stupid name ( money well spent there you fking turdwagons).
So basically the great feature of this new pill is that you don't get it free from family planning, you have the exciting opportunity to pay for it! Thieving dickwads must think we've just fallen off a flitting.

Noticed Deliveroo’s ‘small print’ that Minimum spend applies ... so it would be an expensive pint in the end. 
Thats why her bag at the end is full of other stuff plus the milk. Such a stupid idea but people these days, eh?
