Worst TV adverts of the moment

i don't really like Kipling's "If", tho its adoption by every dick in the world doesn't feel totally like Kipling's fault, and jesus christ no poet deserves the badly scanning fuckery of that Dove Realness advert

hope natwest also sends the secret code to disable the baddies and pull jackie back into the cash machine

why the fuck do they advertise Freeview?

that fucking voice on the Vodafone giraffamingo advert

that fucking voice on the IKEA cooking together advert and the Lurpak advert

adverts are full of cunts atm

that fucking voice on the Vodafone giraffamingo advert

isn't it john goodman ?

and yeah, i dont get the point in advertising freeview

it might be Goodman, it's the same register as one of the payday loan companies' ads, Easy or something? this bro-ish, sub-The Dude matey-ness that infuriates precisely because of its deployment in selling bullshit I think

hateful renault couple knocking their badly dubbed divorcey boots in their fucking holiday home makes me want armed revolution

hateful renault couple knocking their badly dubbed divorcey boots in their fucking holiday home makes me want armed revolution

saw this for first time last night.
yeah, its definitely one of the worst adverts ever.

Spandau/Speedcore advert for Virgin trains. Corbyn should just say that nationalisation will stop these adverts and he's guaranteed a landslide.

Feel like this should maybe be on an alt-right thread of some kind but couldn't think of which one. Rubicon's marketing team has decided to go in at a very strange angle... apparently their fruit juices came about because... Mr Water is a cuck?

I'm really upset that nobody else cares about the cucking of Mr Water. ;_;

It's pretty fucking creepy

fucked up

alt-right were already on the case nearly a year ago tbf: http://metro.co.uk/2016/08/30/an-innocent-ad-for-fruit-water-has-become-a-symbol-of-hate-for-the-far-right-6099966/

Huh, I only saw the ad on TV a couple of days ago. It really is a very strange advert, I was imagining it was pro-alt-right and their obsession with cucks, rather than being "feminist propaganda" in favour of being adulterous.

not that worked; anyway it's a video of a this:

Think you’ve got the fruitiest chat?
Join Mr. Mango for a LIVE chat and drop your flirtiest lines for a chance to WIN a case of Rubicon Spring.

not a "worst" advert but this one really fucking weirded me out, not least given i think it's the onion knight narrating:

i mean i get the value of water safety but it just seems a bizarre level of intensity. also the image at the end looks like all the people are dead.

"onion knight" was baffling me until i googled

haha i sometimes find myself saying "onion knight" in his accent over and over.

Onion Knight does the voiceover for a butter advert on telly too atm

Barclays have got a fucking cheek trying to advise people on anti-fraud measures given their role in the LIBOR scandal. But then there has been lots of po-faced quasi-contrition from the high street banks lately.

was talking to a friend yesterday and we both really hate that kid in the AA advert

OK,you mentioned it..

Because back then, our Alice was like that, damn good and beyond 'cute' with it, but this ad doesn't work because you can see the CGI type manipulation and faking.

Yeah, bugs me a bit. I wouldn't go the share on YouTube way, little Alice would have loved it but present day Al does thank me for not sharing on 'You've been framed' etc..

drivethru boy, have you never seen a fake punk before you fucking mook?

not on TV but just baffling

Seriously considering closing my Nationwide account

what's the matter, don't you like twee poetry?

it's painful because I still feel like they're ethically superior to a bank but god those adverts

maybe as members we should be allowed to vote to stop doing them

Picket the shareholders meeting.

altho for me they've been eclipsed by Hayley Cropper trying to pretend that Morrison's are my family

was Howard in the halifax adverts? he pops up as some kind of meta presence in those insurance commercials.

which reminds me, in those insurance commercials the bloke is called 'captain obvious' but he seems to have lost that part of his persona and is now just some kind of figurehead.

the one with the guy who says a poem about how he bought a load of junk off Amazon... Is that also Nationwide? Can we just have a moratorium on cheek-eh Northern blokes trying to be profound in adverts..

re: Captain Obvious, it's not insurance, it's Hotels Booking dot com, or some such.

yeah he's the hotel guy.

the Old Spice commercials are fairly amusing but textbook example of "trying too hard"

BOOKING DOT COM

BOOKING DOT YEAH

whoever came up with that slogan needs to be fed slowly into a woodchipper imo

Whereas "Admiral", etc.

> yeah he's the hotel guy.

that was money well spent on those adverts.

That is the advert I had just witnessed before posting ITT. At least it made me get off my arse and back to work I suppose. Working from home tends to prolong lunch breaks.

Is this what it's come to?

whoever did this needs to die

i can't find the latest one that's running in the uk

apparently these are a spreading plague

I could have gone my whole life without hearing the damn Frog Chorus again, so cheers whatever company is currently using it in a UK ad.

it's the trailer for the new season of Great British Bake Off

Ah, that's it! ta.

tbh when i first saw it it just made me crave cake, which was annoying

Seriously considering closing my Nationwide account

Took me a minute to realize this was a UK reference. Here in America, Nationwide is an insurance company with horrible ads featuring country singer Brad Paisley.
