Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up.

The Ford "ECHO" advert is on every break today. Bunch of "Echo Warriers" no doubt.

[SlimJim16v]

The fking Scottish Widows ad. Knowing that they wouldn't pay out on my friend's policy, despite him nearly dying twice, will never work again and even several specialist doctors don't know what's wrong with him.

He had to get a solicitor involved, who luckily found someting in the small print, which forced them to pay out. Scottish Widows have since then, allegedly, removed that clause.

Wait until you see the new First Choice advert!!

Apple HomePod advert. I hear the tune and look up expecting to see the pretty girl from the previous Apple Emoji advert and I'm disappointed

Oh no, has she been replaced with someone "gender free"?

No, some text that makes my eyes hurt, no sodding clue as to what a HomePod is or does either.

Quorn mince.

Bloke gets stuck working late and has to make it up to his missus but cooking dinner. Can see who wears the trousers in that house.

Probably due a Parrot, but it's Apple's version of the various talking home devices like Google Home, Amazon Echo, etc, etc - the only difference being that Apple's one is priced accordingly with Apple Tax for all the fanbois

[raceboy]

No parrots due....if I was taking a guess that is what I would have gone with as it looks the same...ish, but no clue is given by the advert.

The new River Island advert 'Labels are for Clothes' posting a girl covered in tattoos with 'I am 100% gender free!'...umm you're a female as it's not possible to be gender free FFS

Just saw this and was going to post the same.

100% gender free. Who thought of this stuff?

More millennials snowflakes bs.

Worst thing is that one of the guys from River Island is a MASSIVE petrol head. I believe he has posted here in the past as well. He lets us down

Woppum? I don't think he's got anything to do with RI, the money its made - yes, but nothing to do with the company IIRC.

Apologies if this has been mentioned already. It more than likely has. I was with a few americans in Spain last week, and everyone knew the ad... they also added a line to the script.

What's a computer? FFS...

This is the one that winds me up the most...pretentious Apple bks ! Next they'll have some hipster asking "What's a phone?" when clearly on their iPHONE.

Nationwide bank.

The singing ones. Two girls sitting at a cheap electronic keyboard, Bill Bailey-style, that kind of thing.

Been going on for months.

It's like Guantanamo Bay.

Please let it stop. Can't take any more.

Agree come to post this. Its all over the radio to.

Back long time ago ISTR him having some converse-esque boots sold in the stores that had his E46CSL on them. Can't imagine they sold too many

I always assumed he was involved in some capacity.

"What's a Flat white ?"

McDonalds coffee advert.

Yes, as the advert tells you nothing about the HomePod, it just has the word HomePod written on the screen which flickers around - again, you expect cute emoji girl when you hear the music, but you are left disappointed.

[AlexRS2782]

But remember, Apple don't actually need to tell you what their product does. All they need to do is give it a name, price it 3 to 4 times higher than the rival products and then wait for the fanbois to rush out and buy them, only to replace the model with a new version a couple of months later

Also, I've just seen an advert for #dechox (British Heart Foundation evidently). Not sure that advert could be any more embarrassing or cringeworthy if it tried.

The TUI outro and intro at the start and end of every sodding break on Sky One is starting to seriously do my fruit. It's been months.
