That awful TUI advert - reaching 63% of the UK adult population FFS

And what's with it suddenly being pronounced "Too-ee"? Wasn't it always T.U.I.?

Any advert with a fking hipster in, or hipstery PC music does my head in

Yes - bd things.

If only there were more like the first-generation R8 V10 on song.

Also, less cheesy, cringy and painfully unfunny Greek yoghurt adverts with Nicole Shirtswinger and more adverts like this Carte D'Or one.

EVERY advertisement that artificially contrives to included each gender, those who cannot decide their gender, every sexual preference, skin colour & range of disability in obvious abject pant-wetting fear of upsetting a 'minority'.
Where does the feelings views & opinions of the 'majority' feature these days?

I didn't know you were on the Grauniad's advertising team?

The BBC does that with 100% of its output, and they don't even do adverts.

Yes they do, they advertise their own products ad nauseam

Have we had the “Nationwide” singing girls yet?
I’d enjoy a few moments with a chair, a rope, gaffer tape and a claw hammer.

Buying life insurance over the phone, I think it's beagle street or something. Along the lines of...

Hello, I'd like life cover.

Ok sir, our rates are less than you think for the first year, and a payout could be £200,000.

Great.

We need to ask a few questions, how old are you and do you smoke?

I'm 32 and I don't smoke.

That's great, we'll go ahead.

Thanks.



I'm pretty sure they've skipped a few steps there

Not the BBC but the latest advert pushing teaching as a job features manily women, at a time when there is a dire shortage of male teachers, especially at primary school level.

Good way to reinforce the message that teaching isn’t for men !

Is that the "Get a nodding dog for the dashboard" ones if so I couldnt agree more. Thankfully due to Alfa Romeo electrics I no longer have to listen to it on my way to work (as the radios broken)

Todays annoyance is the turn around brownie advert that seems to have been on every ad break the past week.

Given the amount of false claims made by students against male teachers (rapist, grooming or pedo) Who the fk would want to go through that ste?

No, it's the one where a father and son are driving to the football match in a 3yr old Vauxhall Astra Turbo. There is is also another one with a woman and her husband.
