Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up.

[Blown2CV]

[Silverbullet767]

[droopsnoot]

Natwest advert, it shows some girl crying because her boyfriends dumped her, but her dad is standing there all smiles?? WTF?!

I think your due a woosh parrot. Dad clearly doesnt like the boyfriend... Duh!

Ah the one with the bastardised Sierra with the RS500 style front end on what appears to be a Xr4i - gets on my nerves that.

On the subject of the Natwest ad'....... Can anyone identify the aircraft near the end of it? Round windows, twin engines, high tail.

madbid.com - lost count of how many times it's been on today

"Delivery, Delivery...... Will I be delivering you a brand new car tomorrow" - no because you're a postie and that's not part of your job description

It's a CGI-d VC-10, they've cropped off its T-tail and rear engines, added an engine under the wing but not been smart enough to get rid of the refuelling pod under the wing!

Crazy...why go to all that bother for a few seconds of screen time? I can understand not wanting to feature a specific airline, but a it would surely be easier to airbrush out the livery on any old Airbus or Boeing that they'd hired for a day.

That's some top drawer geek right there! Well done cause I watched it back about 5 times and couldn't work it out.

I think ANYONE into flight Sims like those guys ( and me...cough) is automatically classed as geek

Also the Garmin ad,I like the carol but all I think of now is "give a give a give a fking Garmin!!!"

100% compensation. Climbs up onto a live rig without any proper equipment and adjusts a light-bulb with the power on. Presumably if he'd fallen or been electrocuted through his own stupidity, he'd get 100% compensation. Either I need a whoosh parrot, or they do.

I like the Christmas Song (Chestnuts etc - you all know the one I mean) I particularly like Nat King Cole singing it. But when the last few bars are tinkled on the piano in the latest Lidl ad, me & my eldest would like to cheerfully ram the piano lid down hard right across the back of the hands of the player with a lovely Thang from all the keys sounding together. Sorry Joules....

"Chloe pick up zee phone"

Yep, that gets me ranting. Scrawny hermaphrodite squirming around in fake orgasmic pleasure and grinning inanely. How on earth the admen/client think this'll prompt people to buy this st is beyond me

I couldn't believe the Breitling one, I was sure it was a parody but apparently not

Another one for the Breitling ad here, an unbelievably juvenile advert for a supposedly premium brand!

Glad someone else noticed it. I'm staggered they signed it off tbh!

Aside from warbirds being cool and Breitling making a song and dance about their increasingly tenuous connection with aviation, WTF? What kind of date starts in the desert miles from nowhere? The kind where your date turns out to be a deranged psycho who wants to kill you and use your skin as a wetsuit.

Is it a chargeable offence? It's not an energetic performance, he needs to amp it up...

[kowalski655]

It wasn't a very spark-ly performance

Thanks Jay. Brilliant spotting! Must admit I had the front end pegged as a VC10 but the rest of the story is just bizarre! Why bother when there must be so many holiday jets sitting on the tarmac?

Love that flightsim site link. Just gotta find that Dragon Rapide to have a fly with.

Any Bingo adverts, utter lowest "common" denominator adverts, appealing to fat chav birds sat in onesies and ugg boots spunking their benefits on Bingo.


Also, online gambling, aimed at blokes, trying to make sitting in your underpants playing electronic roulette look sophisticated, all the guys on the adverts look like Bradley Cooper and have loads of sexy women around them, I suspect nothing is further from the truth, I hate anything that uses the term "VIP", unless you are royal family or A list nobody can really claim that they are VIP, especially not if its online poker, they use it for E cigs as well, oh, very important stood outside a manky boozer on your daft device making the area smell of Bubblegum, Popcorn or lemon.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but anything that involves a dentist talking to someone off-camera.

That fat bloke who does the plus net adverts. Annoying tt!!
