Nothing like a flying severed face with bloody tissue hanging off it to make me want to enjoy a sports drink.

The Money Supermarket Snoop Dogg Car insurance one...

THE BLOKE HASN'T GOT A CAR!

also the fact that it contains noted pornographer Snoop Dogg

"Take your kids to Disneyland before they grow up and leave you to die all alone" is pretty harsh imo

Probably true of the sort of person whose thought processes run that way.

I'm pretty sure the Direct TV Marionette commercials are about a serial killer and the conversations he has with his victims' corpses.

Fantastic us!
Da da dada da daaa daaa!

FUCK. OFF. Just FUCK OFF.

I have some Catalan friends and that advert sets their teeth on edge.

(istr there being two of these threads, one for merkins and one for britishers. can't tell which this is)

anyway, the mentos bumper ads that wrap all the e4 programmes at the moment, the 'cool' members of the public break-dancing or free-running, are some low-quality, sub-apprentice-task bollocks.

I think this is the American one:

worst commercials on television

"Adverts" is a British thing, I think?

Walkers' Market Deli: you pitiful bastards

In August 2014, Blackwood made his dramatic return to the small screen as the face of Burger King. He fronted a range of crtically acclaimed advertisments, promoting the new Big King and New King Chicken 'King Deals', priced at £3.79 in stores nationwide.

Haha I saw this yesterday and the first thing that ran through my head was "even just smelling this a little bit has already made me more suggestible".

Trivago guy. That is all.

Those Harvey Keitel "Wolf" ads..

I like them

But I can imagine some people might disagree...

the samsung(?) amoled tablet advert that shows me how good it's new screen is compared to old led screens. it does this ON MY LED TV. how does that work?

Yep, we all had a good laff at that ol' classic yesterday.

Trivago guy. That is all.

trivago guy is some experiment/genius idea to make the human equivalent of a jingle that is so obnoxious it stays in your head forever

Belvita :-(

trainline.com app adverts.

The worst music related TV ad I've ever heard.

So bad, that even Universal have realised and swopped out the voice over for another, the fucking clots.

Kasabian-looking dad on the new O2 advert i'm calling social services just in case

The woman on the new Park Hampers advert is going for 'sympathise that things are tough' but her eyes are screaming 'oh god how did my life come to this, why can't I get a proper job on a daytime soap or something'.

if you can make it more than 1:23 into this you're a far, far braver boy than I

Someone's been hired for 'blue sky thinking'.

(let's have a cloudy white sky!)

Actually, with maybe one exception, the supermarkets have uniformly gone with the "look how posh our customers are folks!" (Lidl, Asda in particular)

advert would be better if all the soldiers were played by Paul McCartney

looool

When my van's off the road I'm not working
So what am I gonna do?

The Guiness ad with the stalwart lady bartender putting out the elijah's cup guiness every night until one day her soldier boy husband returns home and the other skeevey dudes who hit on her raise a glass to him -- that one made me soooo IA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx0MRawkrj4

right now it's a toss up between the real creepy Viagra commerical with the long, uncomfortable close up on the Australian lady or the literal "come play, my lord" commercial with Kate Upton

Cravendale advert no longer has Martyn Jacques on it, so now falls here.

Aldi have Jools Holland doing boogie twatting woogie.

Yeah. Boo to crummy Cravendale swap-over

Those Harvey Keitel "Wolf" ads..

I like them

But I can imagine some people might disagree...

I don't know what you mean by "Wolf" but if you mean those insurance ads, I like them too.

Wolf was the character he played in pulp fiction who did a similar cleanup job.

I totally hadn't realised that was Harvey Keitel in the ads, I thought it was just some guy

Oh, that's sort of ruined it now. (xp)

That's the whole point though!

I've seen 'Pulp Ficton' but don't remember anything about it so I thought Keitel was just playing some arbitrary menacing Mafia like figure.

That's pretty much what he does in Pulp Fiction.

The adverts are better though.

Don't open this thread often but knew there was going to be talk about those Harvey Keitel ads. They are pretty good.

Should have hundreds of posts due to xmas.

Not a fan of the current 3 Mobile advert with the purple muppet and East 17 singalong for some reason. If 'it's really alright' is the best tagline you can muster...

The first time I saw that Pussycat Dolls' "Don'tcha wish yr girlfriend" Sharon Osborne ad, I knew this would be played well over the sell-by date, and yet I hated it on first go.

OK, moneysupermarkt, you can drop it now. Yeah?

yeah that's a really annoying one. it's like a perfect storm of things that total idiots would find amusing.

OK, moneysupermarkt, you can drop it now. Yeah?

They're still making 118 118 adverts after 143 years, despite the fact that noone has ever found those funny or entertaining or interesting.
