Maltesers advert with the women in the wheelchair 
Thankfully it's a quick advert.
The advert doesn't bother me - right until the last bit. Thankfully it's a quick advert. 'You're so awful!!'
'Guilty!!'
She went home with a guys number.
Yeah - you total bad ass......
Society has a very 'safe' definition of being bad these days. It's like people want to feel like they belive no one cares - but they are so self conscious they need validation of their lame attempt of badassery.
THAT is why it is annoying.

That is brilliant!!! They don't make adverts like that any more!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKLnhuzh9uY
I tend to see this on Europsort and other less populated channels.
C Date dotcodotuk
(NSFW)
It's advertised as a casual dating site. There's a model in her knickers and the voiceover talks about "Sensual adventures" or somesuch.
I did some research and according to Google results, it's basically a credit card scam. You pay for X months in advance but of course there's no real users on there and cancelling is seemingly virtually impossible.
On a similar note, most of the Match.com ads are whilst not appalling. Aren't great and not exactly making me want to sign up.

(2) vision express adverts with the retired news reader Trevor McDonald. They use some of the most emotive events, made up of millions of people's hard work and suffering to promote their stty product and get old Trev one more pay day. Trev himself acting the noble and respectful gentlemen we should all aspire to be, whilst selling out in the most hideous and pathetic fashion.
It's such portentous balls, what self-respecting journalist would ever say that any experience is beyond their powers of description? tty product and get old Trev one more pay day. Trev himself acting the noble and respectful gentlemen we should all aspire to be, whilst selling out in the most hideous and pathetic fashion.I have spent ages reading this forum and literally just created an account so I could share a few ads that really get on my nerves.
1) Money Supermarket - the stutters vs builders are annoying enough, but I find that the company is trying to be quirky and make "that's so money supermarket!" an everyday saying embarrassing. Did they expect it to really catch on and become a common phrase to mean "epic"?. e.g: "Dad,I've just finished painting your fence" "oh,epic,son,that's so money supermarket,that!"
2) Those Oral-B adverts and the way everyone on the ad is trying so hard to have their unnaturally white and straight teeth constantly on show as they're talking, coupled with the faux enthusiasm, these women almost look like they're being held hostage. Can't imagine how much their jaws hurt after all the takes.
3) the faux ginger lass in the head and shoulders ad, squealing like mad because she found out that they used head and shoulders.... instant channel change.
4) Go Compare - no need to elaborate,really. In the latest ad,I was praying that the plane he was singing on top of would do a nose dive.
5) Region-specific,but Thomas & Meighen Solicitors featuring actors talking about their "accidents" and how great the solicitors were, all done with a painfully fake,broken and forced geordie accent. why???
6) Flash. "Where! The heeeeeeell! Has all...." *throws TV out the window*

She had so much promise in my parents are aliens"Seriousleeeeeayyyyyyyyyyyyy"
For some reason I get niggled by the current Fairy Liquid advert.
Apart from the fact that Dad had the beard that all dads in adverts have, they are still trying to use the idea that the child wants to make a rocket out of the empty fairy bottle in the Blue Peter style.
1. How many kids these days want to make a model of a space rocket out of old washing up bottles in 2017?
2. The bottle is no longer cylindrical anyway!
Rocket shaped:
Not rocket shaped:
Like any modern child would care anyway.

And, how many would wait however long for it to become available? Surely just lose interest and move onto something else, then snort derisively when the bottle finally becomes empty.Johnnytheboy said:
