I saw an advert for Formula E on C4 while on wirk trip this, weekend in hotel room.
I was sat staring at it as it went on and in, with 3 parkouring drivers in full kit after getting out of their crashed cars running through a city with proclamations of climate Doom on telly etc, then get back to start line of track to 'race' the cars on foot to the line...
In the words of the Critical drinker "WHAT... THE... f

That has an idea for some entertainment. Have the Critical Drinker review some of the more bizarre adverts I was sat staring at it as it went on and in, with 3 parkouring drivers in full kit after getting out of their crashed cars running through a city with proclamations of climate Doom on telly etc, then get back to start line of track to 'race' the cars on foot to the line...

The Trade Centre UK.
At first I thought my TV was broken, its has no sound in the advert at all.
While the advert is pants, I think the concept is pure genius, what does everyone do now the moment adverts start if you can't fast forward them...pick up your phone, when you hear 'silence' like you say you think the TV's broke, you look up, and see the advert, you even do it when you encounter the advert for multiple times, but it does only work as it's the only one doing it, there is another one that even includes a bit of 'white noise' to make you 'look up' At first I thought my TV was broken, its has no sound in the advert at all.
not an Ad as such, but it made me laugh a bit -
BBC now "advertising" within Wimbledon programs, it started with showing the ever diverse bbc programming (although note.... not the ones sold to GOLD and BRITBOX) and extra-ordinary planet saving david attenborough telling us how great the bbc is and it belongs to everyone of us, then straight into 3 middle aged white men, smashing up cars and driving high polluting low mpg supercars while cursing and deriding each other,..... paid for by everyone one of us....

Cazoo, Cinch, Motorway TV and radio adverts... They seem to be the new car insurance adverts, whereby a boring product and subject (selling/buying cars) is made as loud and colourful and interesting as possible in order to assault the senses and stick in your mind.
Much like the meerkats...

The exact opposite to the thread, but it's worth a quick mention.
Recent Dove (soap) advert, no music or anything, just a few simple words about how social media is trashing the self-esteem and confidence of young girls and directing people to scan some QR code on the screen which I guess links to this page.

Renault Ad
"what is it you do ?"
"I can't tell you, as you are too stupid to understand !!"
Despite the terrible dubbing, monstrously ugly car and so on, I quite like the concept of that one really "what is it you do ?"
"I can't tell you, as you are too stupid to understand !!"
It would be a good advert if it was acted better and had a less awful car...
It's certainly better than the CGI car going around an mysteriously empty city, with a discordant jingle at the end and a tagline like "movement that excites" or some similar pish
The latest Viking Cruises advert.
A silver haired old gent stares wistfully over the sea and in a voice over tells us that 'the only true scarce commodity is time'.
The silver haired old gent is Torstein Hagen, founder of Viking Cruises and with a personal net worth of $1.5 billion.
I tell you what, Torstein me old mate, go spend a year living on the breadline and having to accept hand outs from food banks, and then comeback and tell me if you think that time is still the only true scarce commodity!!
