Worst TV adverts of the moment

oh josh. you tried to make something of your life. but all you ended up doing was irrationally enraging a few commuters. then they put you on tv. next you'll be leading a flashmob in one of london's major transport nodes at rush-hour. at which point they will send in the combine harvesters.

only death by wurzel will be sufficient for josh and his superband

iggy pop has nothing on Mr Go Compare

I thought this was going to be about the rollerskating evian babies. disappointed.

those are too uncanny-valley creepy to be anything but a strongly repressed memory

Oh god, the rollerskating babies are actually worse than the Halifax ad. Surely there was a point during the making of it, which would have involved dozens of people, where someone pointed out that it is terrifying rather than cuet?

I don't know, at least 150 000 weirdos seem to like them (minus the few who have probably joined for the purpose of spamming)

Was saying to a friend last night that what's creepiest about the Evian Babies advert is it feels like an advert that will be loved by people who love babies so much that they feel compelled to go out and steal one.

Then stick it on roller skates.

Camera. Fucking. Chow. Picture. Fucking. Wow.

GET OFF MY TV SCREEN YOU MOTHER.

Oh my word, I've saw that Halifax ad for the first time. Seriously fuck all these people, if they must piss our money away can't they have the dignity to do it away from the public gaze.

I would pay for a version of Lord Of The Rings with that Iggy puppet instead of Golum...

Pop: "Frodo you suck! Give me that goddamn Ring!"

"Stop! And just take a break/Before you blow a fuse"

dear Crunchy Nature Valley bars ad guys. I will find you, and I will gut you.

halifax have hit a new low with the "ISA ISA Baby" ad

BT Broadband ad that that doesn't even use the right Stereo MCs song as it's backing track - it uses "Step It Up" instead of "Connected".

Halifax are getting off on being obnoxious cunts at this point really

halifax have hit a new low with the "ISA ISA Baby" ad

see, I don't think this is quite as bad as the previous two. It's a dreadful shitty pun, but at least there's no reliance on "The Reward Horn" or unsettling fake arms for high-fivin' this time. Mercifully, it seems slightly shorter as well.

"Give me back that Filet o' Fish. Give me that fish"

'I think I'm going to need... more ties!'

Sfm!
That 'CASH MY GOLD' advert is really grating now, as are those ryvita minis ads where women are fighting over the food equivalent of cardboard.

Didn't think anything would upset my fangirl self more than seeing Iggy Pop in an insurance ad but I've just seen Benicio Del Toro in an awful advert for a brand new kind of magnum ice cream. It was bleak.

'I think I'm going to need... more ties!'

AARRGGHHHHH!!!!

WE BUY ANY CAR DOTCOM WE BUY ANY CAR WE BUY ANY CAR

I enjoy the infectious energy of that one.

the Five-Hour Energy "Fight the 2:30 Feeling" office douchebag: I WANT TO STAB HIS SMUG FACE

I have that reaction against the toothpaste ad.

It's been re-edited but still..

Follows lad from sliding down the bannister, to kiss from girl in class and so on. The way he turns to the camera and smugly smiles.etc..

any carl's jr. ad that features the smarmy smackable spokesdude

"choose any car! you CANNOT be serious."

...ANY ANY ANY ANY...

current nadir is the 'you keep fit, obviously. whey protein, how much do you pay?' as if that's even approaching a normal conversation.

"cheeky volvic"

is that the volvic challenge thing? I want to murder that man.

You one a challenge for drinking water - what do you want a fucking medal you horse-faced surfer-dude wannabe?? Sometimes I like to go outside for a "cheeky breath of fresh air", that doesn't make it a challenge.

the really annoying thing about the volvic advert is its based on the myth that you need to consume a metric ton of pure water a day.

DESTROY 2,000 YEARS OF CULTURE:

I think the commercial is actually pretty cute. The product itself is dumb as dirt though. Are people embarrassed that their child, like every child in history before them, has to wear a diaper? It's probably targeted more toward parents who think that dressing up their kids in grown-up clothes is cute. Does Anne Geddes do that?

Oh god, just watched that again. The "pooping your pants" bit - ugh.

This makes my blood boil:

I mean, doesn't she have any fucking friends?

I am not surprised that he left her, tbh.

The one that gets me at the moment is "I don't just volumise my lashes, I millionise them". IT DOESN'T FUCKING MEAN ANYTHING. RAAAAAARGH.

vodafone ad is crepey as hell. was talking about it with a friend the other day.

Vodafone ad: "I just wanted us to be happy...is that too much?" = NNNNGHGHGHGHHGHGHNNGNGHGHHGHGHHGHG.

HEY WRIGLEYS EXTRA YOU CAN GET YR TWEE FUCKING VEGETABLES RIGHT UP YOUR ARSE

This track was written Nylon composer Damian De Boos Smith. It’s not available to download.

Thank fuck for that

l'Oreal ad

'inspired by the science of genes'

oof, that vodafone ad is so freaking emotionally manipulative! *shudder*.

TMobile ad featuring a woman dressed as Marilyn Monroe dancing with a male blow-up doll.

I mean, doesn't she have any fucking friends?

and

I am not surprised that he left her, tbh.

Both OTM. I hate that advert so so much.

Never had an opinion on this guy either way 'til he started doing these adverts, now I hate him. Good work all round!
