There's a new Nationwide one where a young couple are in something like a video booth saying what they like about each other. Just as bad as the fking poetry ones.
This one had me properly fuming...... furiousfuriouspunchshoot
WTF are Nationwide on about? Surely the top brass watch TV & think 'who the fk are we contracting to do our advertising??? Fire them immediately!!!'
Seems most bank ads are ste though - I don't recall a single decent one in recent times. Which are worse: the TSB cartoon series with that bloody annoying Scottish woman's voice over & ste muzak, or the Nationwide 'poetry' crap??
Trouble is that banks havent really got anything to offer over their competition,no unique selling point,you dont have sexy brand names in banking
if you had to open an account tomorrow you would probably just use the one with the nearest branch, which may be helpful the once a year you get a cheque.
Otherwise its like selling washing powder,or insurance comparison- push the name.

our name is
our name is
our name is.....

i expect those nationwide ones get lots of likes on social media,hence we have many of them

Maybe not recent times as such but I used to like the Nat West ones with the 2 blokes. Can't remember for the life of me what was being said but I'm sure there was a catchphrase or word that caught on from it ? I'm sure in one of the ads they were punting scratchchin

What is it with fkin perfume / after shave ads ?
The latest one forcing me to plant my remote through the telly has some bint doing lots of pretentious 'crazy stuff' before then turning to the camera and saying something about 'what do you do for fun?'
Oh fk off luv.

The one that is particularly making me irritable at the moment is the Seat (Leon?) "Made In Barcelona" advert with music from the Black Eyed Peas and the hipsters doing all their stupid dancing. fking annoying.

Was at Monza watching the forumla 1 the other week, they must have played that patronising jackie stewart drink drive commercial over the tv screens/tannoy a hundred times over the weekend. Drove us up the wall so much much we had to escape it by hiding out in the jonnie walker tent, lucky we'd left the car by the hotel and caught the train.

F1 advertising by Heineken. "Drink our beer, but don't drink our beer if you are driving, which most of you did because that's how you got here, my god have you seen the size of the car park, but seriously folks, don't drink our beer. Drink our beer."

I'm sure it will have already been mentioned on here previously, but it never hurts to hammer home a point does it?

The fking Renault Kadjar/Kaptur (can't remember the exact model name as I was too busy seething with rage) where the couple are getting a divorce and they are asked about the beach house.

'We'll think about it'

fk off!

The music on that ad is so bloody irritating.
It is played every ad break on whatever music TV station my gym uses. Sometimes they even play the ad, then repeat it again in the same ad break. Total st.

Thats something that really annoys me too-the same ad twice in a break.Sky do it a LOT on the radio
Do they pay extra for having it on twice(if so,why? People are able to remember it from 10 seconds ago) and if not , is it on twice as stations dont have enough ads to play?

Skeletor and He man doing Dirty Dancing stuff.

More Money Supermarket bilge.
What's the advertising message there? I'm struggling. Are they comparing each other's dancing skills?

And another one with a uni student laughing about how she has enough fruit & fibre in her front room that it will last her entire uni course and she'll never have to leave the room (so how's she going to complete her course then?) but then laments the fact that the milk is in the fridge in the kitchen - WTF.

I just saw that one, feckin annoying.

Can we also add the new Admiral Multicar one in as well, truly terrible.
Do you mean the multicover one,where they now cover house n car ?

Pratt's Bottom......rolleyes
Yep, but I can't be the only one thinking what I'm thinking about 'The Admiral' though? eh? eh?
You're not the only one....smile
I'm all for 'tapping the admiral'...
And, of course, the woman is the super-clever boss and the "helper" is a bumbling idiot bloke with a terrible neck-beard and a badly fitting suit.

She does have a nice arse though. boxedin
Her name is Lucy Barker smile
Just had a look at her crappy 'website' in which she says she's an actress and singer who loves doing commercials. I'd have thought she'd set her sights a bit higher than making herself look ridiculous in the God-awful Admiral ads....

The yogurt adverts that cater for women( why they want to only appeal to women or gay men, ive no idea) where they have a buff bloke who has the piss taken out him??

No problem with the actual adverts( well apart from being cheesier than cheddar) but, where's the equivalent advert for blokes, with a naked woman and have a laugh about that??

I guess "equality" only works one way in the advertising field!
