Again radio -sorry
Unbelievable the latest adverts for smart meters evidently get one installed and you will save x amount of kilowatt hours
Its not broken down into a figure and it seems very desperate

Similar one on TV - evidently by fitting a smart meter someone's grandad is now saving so much energy around the house that he can power his electric mobility scooter for free for at least a week (or month - i forget) instead.

It appears someone must have complained about the advert as the narration has changed as of this evening.

The original claim of saving energy to power the mobility sccoter for a month has now been changed to say that he could save enough energy to power his mobility scooter for a total of 1100 miles over 12 months.

Or words to that effect. fk off. How is there even a link there? wkspanners.

Because my children can't photosynthesise.

Having just seen that advert I was compelled to go and fetch my laptop to make exactly that comment. Glad to see someone got there first.

Oh my god, that Corsa advert with the four women in the car in a showroom listening to some dirge noise and pretending they are into it, nodding and rocking like lunatics, the driver girl has the most annoying im ignoring you face.

This, times a million.

Another radio one, the London ULEZ one which concludes with a children's choir singing " The air that I breathe"

The advert (well, in truth more than one advert) that treat "exma". Not eczema, exma. For goodness sake, put a bit of effort into it!

Yes this times a thousand. I listen to radio at work all day and get no say in the station. It makes me want to throw the tool I'm using at the time at the fking radio. Also the hungry house chow mein advert drives me fking mental.

The target market for Vauxhall appears to be chavvy mums in PJ's dropping off the brats at school and rude families in the dealership being selfish and making a lot of noise.

Although the radio versions seem to be know-it-all types so could be PH'ers! Except they say the Corsa has "been built in Europe to offer a fun dynamic drive" which has never been said by a customer ever and is blatantly bks.

Beagle Street selling life insurance!
The couple that have just (still packing boxes around) moved into their new home and the female is telling the male to get himself insured, hmm....would make me wary!

Even odder that their mortgage broker/financial consultant/ bank manager hadn't already sold them a pile of stuff prior to completion. (This policy will assist your application he muttered, as he pocketed the commission).

But your TV is safe?

Any advert where its filmed in a POV style with some dozy bint / annoying brat dragging 'you', whilst constantly looking back and smiling -- while that Jess Glynn "HOLD MY HAND" song is on. Sure it's not just one company that does this. Annoying.

Oh and another.

Any advert where it shows blue collar working people going about their daily lives but in an unrealistic, unconvincing fashion. You instantly know within the first couple of seconds the advert is for McDonalds and all their problems are solved by just popping in and having a meal.

In the same vein, the whole flat white McDonalds ads. Heaven knows what they think regular coffee shops were like, but I'd have thought none of them would deride you for asking what a flat white is.

The Sun one where some fat bird "sings" "Are you gonna Bingo?" , or words to that effect. Pure ste

The “Flash” advert. Bad enough to ruin a Queen classic by using it for an advert anyway, but to then replace the lyrics with words that don’t fit the song practically at all, and lip sync a dog singing it... Just awful. I’m guessing that their excuse for how bad it is would be that it is ironic or kitsch. No it’s not. It’s just very, very bad. Ugh.

World cup on the way ,so any ad containing badly acting England players,or any other nationality too.
Lidl so far.

Agreed. But the same style ad featuring the young lady from Jerusalem / Tel Aviv gets my thorough approval.

it has been 'inspired' by instagram, and so it's traditional media trying to appear cool. Makes it seem even worse now doesn't it.
