Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up.

Latest Ring advert - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIGiFWMsLdY

Should be:
Homeowner in the Supermarket - "The only thing I've seen is you looking through my windows"
<sounds of supermarket>
Burglar - "Yeah, well you're in the supermarket shopping so you're not in to stop me"


And of course the burglar has a scouse accent so it's upset Liverpool

Have we had the Barclays Life Skills ad? Young man has to remember 6 words in 3 groups of 2, and that's some sort of skill which enables you to train as an Air Ambulance crew member. A 6-year old could do that - does that mean a 6-year old could do the job?

The one with the girl trying to sort the wind turbine boils my piss every single time it comes on the telly. How about you just sort the sodding thing love rather than give me a fking running commentary???

Oh, and if you can connect wirelessly to the turbine, can I throw a wee suggestion in here and sit in the pickup with the heater on rather than stand outside in the pissing rain balancing the laptop on one hand?

Life Skills my arse!!

yea it's fairly stupid. Life skills if maybe you lived in the crystal maze or something.

Audi advert (Q5?) lyrics at the end of the advert: "If I only had a brain"

Subtle message to Audi owners/drivers?

I feel your pain with that one.
That was the first thing I thought when I first saw the ad.

Winds me up too. Surely if you can remotely access said turbine it could be done from a control room too, to save you driving into the middle of a pissing field.

That singing dog is back with another Flash advert...

[Turbotechnic]

The AA advert where the toddler in the back seat of a faceless Mazda 3 sings Tina Turner's rolling on the river. It makes my skin crawl to say the least!

[Sa Calobra]

The advert about depression and mental illness.



From Lloyd's Bank.

This sort of ad really has to stop. It’s old and it’s always weird. Never fun.

new Nationwide advert with the two bints making a noise (its not singing) about being fans. I didn't think they could get worse, i was wrong.

This X 1000,000, but calling them bints is an insult to bints IMO.

[Yipper]

AA advert is creepy as f*ck. Must be harming their brand.

That’s hilarious.

Middle class people buy a ring doorbell to stop dirty scousers robbing your house.

I must be out of step here, first off, it wouldn’t push me to signing up with the AA, but I can’t see what’s weird or creepy about it.
It just came on our TV, and my wife said, “That kid reminds me of Grace, (our great-niece), wind it back and watch it again.”
The kid isn’t singing the song, or miming it, she’s mouthing words and pumping her arms up and down.
Bit far fetched with the repairman arriving two seconds after the phone call, but let’s be fair, it is a commercial, belief has to be suspended.
Looked hard for anything weird, surely you don’t mean the AA guy waving at the toddler do you?

Sorry Frank but its one of the worst I've seen for a while. The whole advert is just weird and very poorly made. It certainly doesn't make me want to join the AA.

Patrolman and child are both creepy.

Peugeot advert on the radio, car features a "Colour-reversing camera" rather than a "Colour reversing-camera". What use would such a device be? Can't they find someone with a slight interest in cars to read the advert out?
