Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up.
Discussion
There are many adverts that piss me off these days. The current trend for reedy a capella versions of what were good songs. The Flash advert. GoCompare, for having struck a particularly rich vein of s
t which they shamelessly persist in mining. The girl in the Trivago ad is starting to wind me up. People's Postcode Lottery. In fact, any advert featuring members of "the great British public".
I think I need a lie down.

The girl on it sounds like she has a vocal problem.
How does that make money, its every ad break on every channel "Make money from things you dont use any more", does anyone actually use it ?
I tried to use it about a year ago for selling 5 items, but nothing sold as people have an option to just offer an amount so you would get a notification that just says "james offered £50" not very helpful when the thing i am selling is £150. Sadly there was no "no f-ing chance" option to send backHow does that make money, its every ad break on every channel "Make money from things you dont use any more", does anyone actually use it ?
Not once did i get any text with the offers or a single offer of over half the asking price. They all sold on facebook marketplace for within 10% of asking price so i think the people on there are just chancing it

The new Mercedes advert using "My Silver Lining" by First Aid Kit so soon after Renault used it in their Kadjar advert.
I'm so used to hearing it with a Renault on the screen my head can not compute when I see a Mercedes
I quite agree, astonished that they'd do another car ad with it, let alone a different manufacturer.I'm so used to hearing it with a Renault on the screen my head can not compute when I see a Mercedes
A film trailer on TV wound me up yesterday.....no idea of what the film was but the release date was announced as November Three.....it's the third, not three. 
I'll not be going to see the film in protest of the trailer date mispronunciation, regardless of what the film actually was.

Nearly as bad as "two....five.....oh....oh" percent interest from the loan sharks I'll not be going to see the film in protest of the trailer date mispronunciation, regardless of what the film actually was.

More correctly The third of November not November the third. I'll not be going to see the film in protest of the trailer date mispronunciation, regardless of what the film actually was. The advert also annoyed me far more than it should.

Then the crowning turd of icing on the pay-day loan business cake? On a radio advert I heard a company offering compensation if you found you were unable to pay back your ultra-interest short-term loans...

The Beans one, bloke comes in after a run, on a health kick having a Protein shake and says what in it and his smug (but quite tidy) missus "Same, we are having some Beans"
Yeah, cos a few beans has the same Protein as a PROTEIN Shake, he would be chugging Beans instead.
Heinz baked beans can has 19.4 grams of proteinYeah, cos a few beans has the same Protein as a PROTEIN Shake, he would be chugging Beans instead.
The market leading Impact Whey Protein drink single serving has 21 grams of protein.
