Trainline. YOU ARE NOT A TRAIN. You stupid, delusional human being!

An unless that train is at the start of its route, you need to leave a gap for passengers getting off, you inconsiderate tt.

Another advert that plays on the whole "kidz iz funz, they don't need 2 learn 2 speak proper innit".

"Teddy is very, very, very, not very well" was on the original advert when it was first broadcast last year. I noticed that the current version has been edited down to "Teddy is very not well", which is just as bad

Lloyds Bank - classic "soppy-girl advert" singing.

Landrover Discovery Sport.

How long was that woman going to stand next to the river with her dogs if the bloke in the Landrover hadn't turned up?

And then, he opens the boot to let the dogs in, and immediately unfolds the third row of seats, so the bloody things can't get in after all. So she opens the rear passenger door, and then has to fold down the second row of seats, so the dogs can actually get into the boot, like they were going to in the first place!

My god, that guy is a proper fking moron!

Its the irony of it that gets me though. Woman and sled get stuck because ice has melted and left a river blocking her way. SUV's (read: gas guzzlers) contributing to melting ice around the world. Man in SUV has to come and rescue woman and get her across the river.

Probably been said but the Travelodge "travelogical" advert with song featuring the line "to stay anywhere else you'd need rocks in your head" - am I the only one who instantly thinks of people being stoned to death?

[oobster]

The one with the permanent-smile woman going on about having to 'go pro' with her toothpaste. That one really grips my st.

And the one for the Ford car where the guy in shorts walks up to the car. I hate the 'lollipop lollipop ooo lolly-lollypop song'.

And the Arnie & meerkats one.

And ALL of the Brian Robot ones.

I think they frown on the use of drugs in their establishments.

i think they at worst turn a blind eye, and at best they will sell you the drugs, not only because the front desk (if you can find them) are on minimum wage, but also so you'll be to whacked off your tits to notice the death, destruction, thrash metal, 4 train lines, screaming, scream-swearing, loud sex and TV on volume 99 coming from the surrounding area and guests such as to actually complain. Travelodge is an entirely comfort-free dirty student digs room to wk in, and that's it. Travelogical.

A couple on the radio recently have been getting my goat...

Pine and Oak Furniture Emporium - "I love my new table - well built, sutrdy, great legs - SHAME THEY DONT DO MEN!!!"
How about fk OFF YOU DAFT SEXIST BINT - imagine the outcry if this was the other way round.....

Ash of Ancoats DIY - I dont know what they were smoking when the decided to replace all mentions of the word "ladders" in their advert with "ladies" said in a creepy accent, but it certainly isnt as funny as I'm sure they think it is

The current Nissan Pulsar advert.

The driver is so incompetent that he almost drives into the back of someone, but then his Emergency Brake Assist kicks in and saves him. He looks surprised, then smug.

Sadly, this is probably indicative of many drivers on the road today.

(Apologies for the cross-post. I had forgotten about this thread)

Every time I see a car ad offering this (Fiat and Toyota have done it recently too) I reply with "Or you could just, y'know, look where you're fking going!"

Stuff like this being provided on cars is among the many reasons no one can drive properly or be arsed to drive properly any more.

It's getting easier than ever to drive a car. Auto engine start/stop, automatic gearbox, electronic handbrake, anti-lock brakes, parking assist, emergency brake assist, reversing hazard warning, satnav, cruise control, speed limiter, lane change warning, automatic wipers, automatic lights, automatic light dipping (have I missed anything?).

So why do people still make a of the actual act of driving? All they need to do is turn the big round thing in front of them but oh no that's too fking difficult, if only there was a smartphone app for that sort of thing...

So much this, my better half now tries to talk to me so I can yell something obscene at the tv, usually along the lines of "maybe he should get on the fking bus"

It's just struck me - HOW many different ads has that bloody song been used on in recent years? Irritating piece of crap.

[The Hypno-Toad]

The latest one for one of the online gambling sites (can't remember which one.) which ends with all these customers sitting on sofas, getting offered cups of tea by 'staff members' who are dressed in blue polo shirts smiling patronising smiles. The place looks like a rest home for dementia patients, especially with one woman sat on the sofa, jiggling her arms up and down. Bizarre.

Not really an advert but a trailer for a programme no one watches. Every morning, as I'm getting ready for work, those lovely people on Sky Atlantic have put on episodes of Seinfeld to keep me amused. However because these aren't long enough to fill up the 1/2 an hour slot, they put on this fking trailer for Blue Bloods every fking day. I almost know it off by heart now.

[Daston]

Icelands ads in general but the current "power of frozen" one takes the biscuit.

"Because it's frozen you can enjoy Aberdeen steak direct to your plate" Its from fking scotland not Australia you tards. Plus I would like mine matured for 20 odd days first.

And finally you didn't invent the fking freezer!

[smithyithy]

Has 'Travelogical' been mentioned yet? I assume so.

[AlexRS2782]

A few I've noticed during the recent RWC coverage.

New Seat Ibiza with the built in text, FaceAche, Twitter, etc, reader that dumps his passenger at the side of the road before going back to pick him up.

The god awful Wayfair advert.

As mentioned earlier, the new Trainline advert with the bellend pretending to be a train horn.

Also the advert running on various channels advertising the new season of Party Down South on 4Music. Do we really need even more imported American "Reality" ste?

[smithyithy]

Radio adverts are so much worse though, I think because they don't have visuals, the audio has to be twice as irritating.

I was in a colleagues car the other day driving for a couple hours with Heart FM on - st adverts, st music, st presenters. I think I lost a few brain cells listening that tripe.

TRADE POOIINT, TRADE POOIINT....

Has anyone mentioned "Shpock" yet?

It seems to be an advert for an online jumble sale. Because taking on eBay is a great business idea that's guaranteed to be a success.

If it's anything like Gumtree, eBay will let it run for a while, get popular and then buy the original owner / creator out and take it over quietly.

On the subject of "app" adverts, I'll also nominate the numerous "...now with Apple Pay" adverts running for the banks, which includes the bloke with the kid strapped to his just enjoying paying for things contactless and also the random woman jogger that buys a complete stranger a coffee just for the hell of it.
