However...

This bit set in a car park has a road going to a non-existent floor. Is it CGI or real? And it just makes no sense.

There's one on the NCP in Southampton city centre I've previously noticed although it's more of a foreshortened ski jump than your example lol!

The virgin airways one is making me want to boycott them
The cruise one with the kids is brilliant though

Why fly with an airline that doesn’t go all he way.

Expedia advert or something. Footage of nice villa.

Relaxez-vous.
We French are inclined to relaxez-vous.

Only problem, villa is in puglia, Italy.

I wish that old Cadbury's Dairy Milk with the kid on the bus and the crying girl would fk off.

Still seems a popular offering on YouTube but it literally makes no fking sense.

The Cadburys guide on how to scam your mother as I refer to it. It's probably meant to be about little acts of kindness or something?

Has anyone seen the Triton Showers advert yet?
Polar bear singing "It's a Triton Shower oh yeah!"

Absolute garbage

I find it a bit more disturbing that this millennial chooses to spend his money on change the car to a nondescript Audi/VW variant instead of doing a restoration on Mk2 Escort restoration

Apologies if already mentioned but the Tampax one with the two women sitting in adjacent toilet stalls seems to be following me everywhere at the moment.

And even I knew that they are graded by flow rate not the size of tt, so who in the target audience they think is going to find this informative is hard to fathom.

Not that it matters but it’s “times it by a zillion and dip it in chocolate “. Still a big bunch of Bacon flavoured nonsense.

Ribena.
Apparently it prevents crap driving. What the fk? What the actual fk?

[Rich Boy Spanner]

Car adverts with cheesy accents. The long-running Renault Clio adverts with the over the top French accent always grated but Volvo has one now also. Do people really buy into some French or Swedish identity thing when buying a car, and who is it meant to appeal to? Tossers.

I don't know if it was a dream or not, but I'm sure I saw an advert with a legless person on a skateboard, pushing along with thier arms instead.

No, that’s definitely out there, and quite an eye opener.

Thought it was a retro nod to those old American films that have legless Vietnam vets begging on street corners.

You must be as old as me. That advert taught the young me a valuable lesson - advertisers lie to you. The product didn't live up to the hype.

Saw it last night, what a crap advert.

[LuS1fer]

Any life assurance, most recent the dull grandma who is 50 and is offered £4.32 a month ..... ah but for a piddling £1000 worth of cover. They're aiming for 50-80 year olds so that's as cheap as it gets.

So, £51.84 a year for a grand's cover. Wow!

Yet for under £100 a year, I can insure a £250,000 house or £200 a year for a £20000 car.

Had to go and look this up - assume its this one https://youtu.be/9gXmuBN10ZA

I’m still wondering what that was all about, but i guess thats the point although I certainly don’t want to buy Ribena

There is a very important difference between the two though -

Assurance is for something that WILL happen (death in this case). The policy will essentially always pay out - you and the insurer are essentially gambling over how long you will keep paying premiums before you die. And with the "no health questions" policies that gamble is heavily weighted against you.

Insurance is for something that MIGHT happen - so your car premiums reflect the fact that it's not a certainty that it'll be written off within the policy term.

The adverts are indeed ste though!

Kevin Bacon and his EE nonsense.
Annoyingly EE are very good, but if I have to see a barber giving someone a trim remotely up a Welsh mountain again I’ll scream
