New Trivago advert with the guy just missing his plane. Much prefer the Trivago girl.

Also, the First Choice advert with the Jill Halfpenny voiceover "Go Mahoosive". Really does my head in.

Nationwide have tried 'poetry', ste muzak & now 3 old dears talking ste - WTF?
Tombola gambling apparently a 'family' experience - seriously??
And just now: even BMW are at it. A ste ripoff of the classic Fleetwood Mac 'go your own way' sung in that horrid moody female vocal 'style'. fk me there are some utterly ste ads around at the moment.

I thought the Sun Bingo was bad but I've just heard the Sky Bingo advert. A new level of vocal st has been reached.

Aldi's post Christmas effort with the wife effectively saying how the "whole family" had overdone it at Christmas and that January was all about a healthy start, taking up Veganism, etc. Evidently after just a handful of shops in the first week or two of the year she's saved so much £££ that she's bought a full gym membership for her husband, who is then given a pat on the stomach to suggest he needs to lose weight. If the "whole" family overdid it at Christmas why isn't she off down the gym as well? getmecoat I know it's meant to be "funny", but it comes across a bit patronising tbh.

WeFlip - yet another online only energy switching company, with a stupid advert featuring an Australian speaking Gekko(?) telling a northern woman how he can "Flip" her energy tarif to the automatically lowest one on the market.

Plus all of the new online betting & gambling companies (in addition to the existing long termers) that seem to have magically appeared from nowhere since the start of 2019 encouraging everyone to sign up / have fun, etc. I think someone posted earlier about one that even says how it's good "family" fun - yep - always good to start online gambling with your kids.

Ad that is shown WAY too much.

Nationwide.

3 old biddies talking about the man friend met at the golf club.

Stop

It.

Now.
I think it’s supposed to be humorous.




Though I’m not sure.




Continues the tradition of annoying, st Nationwide ads.....

The small print on those gambling ads. Free £80 with small print saying you must make 20 consecutive spins before any cash can be withdrawn. Tells you everything about the odds and making them rich, not you.

“Meritene”

Short little bursts of utter cheese before and after endless repeats on Gold.

There is one where some old boy looks old and bored and then because of this stuff (is it heroin?) can do some stupid dance.

It’s his smug face and no explanation as to what the stuff is that gets me.

Clear specs: one of their ‘customer testimonials’ in the ad essentially says ‘so cheap, it doesn’t matter how st they are!

Dacia Duster.

Not, like the poster above, for its bdisation of the Ghostbusters theme (although that is crime enough).

For me, it's its promotion of the slovenly habit of leaving the house in dressing gown and pyjamas that really winds me up,

And not forgetting the car that's the colour of the inside of a newborn's nappy...

I remember a comedy show (Who Dares Wins?) spoofing it by having the husband adding after the going it alone bit "oh, and I've been shagging three other women on the side".

Wife "but we keep the car...right?"

Husband <smiles>

Tag line "When some things matter more than life", or something like that.
