Worst TV adverts of the moment

The antibiotics one. Unless there is a black market for antibiotics I don't know about, if you've got antibiotics then your doctor prescribed them to you, so you are following your doctor's advice? How about tell doctors to stop overprescribing antibiotics not admonishing patients for taking them?!

There's a long-standing story that mean old patients badger poor, feeble-willed GPs into prescribing antibiotics against their better judgement

This is actually pretty good. The first clown deliberately looks like a cross between Ronald McDonald and Pennywise from IT. Not that BK don't have their own creepy AF mascot of course.

That Xmas PAddingtonBear one.

It does sound a lot like "fuck you little bear" right at the end..

must have took a real leap of the imagination to cast Martin Freeman as a mansplaining twat

He's a bit more likable in the third one, probably because of all the people hating on the first two.

Have been home for two hours and still haven't seen the John Lewis commercial.

feel like he's worse in the new one tbh

I really hate this advert with this homely fucking heartwarming Yorkshire twat talking about growing fucking peas - he says he's been growing them for 30 years, so why does he sound like he's 80 years old? You're an actor in a sound studio in London, you've never been near a *pea field in you life. (*if that's where you grow fucking peas).

I think you grow peas in a pod. The hard part is sorting them so all the alike ones to grow together.

the Audi/Send In The Clowns ad is excellent. The part where the different shaped objects fall out of the back of the lorry is quite beautiful.

"i feel very proud of what i bring to the screen" it's fucking cartoon robots for children you muppet

I watch too much daytime tv, these are all benevolent in comparison

"When you die it will cost *your loved ones* 7 grand to get rid of you etc"

oh man i watch way too much daytime ITV, don't even start me on the terrorizing of the semi-senile

the fucking London Mint must be the biggest bunch of cunts on God's green earth

I think I would really enjoy hoofing the Top Cashback man in the testes

> cartoon robots for children

Pacific Rim was a pg-13 so not really children.

She used her tablet to access Google maps. Big whoop. The "I can't do that on a Mac" thing that they always cram into those adverts is interesting because it's usually just the software that's the difference, not a physical limitation.

Go compare adverts have seemingly stopped using the word fantastic in every sentence, which is something.

The skeletor adverts have got weirder.

OK, there's another advert with a clown in it, this time for Specsavers, though it's fairly amusing.

Apple advertisement with bug girl playing with her iPad in the yard, neighbor asks "oh are you on your COMPUTER?" and she says "what's a COMPUTER??" and then looks away, completely uninterested in the answer

What's a computer?!
(Eat y'self fitter!)

This new Lavazza commercial that changes the lyrics to "My Girl" to be entirely about the awesomeness of coffee is actually kind of hilarious. It seems very Euro, too, like it was probably hammered into everyone's skull over there in 2015 and finally they just decided to run it here.

Uh it's not the version that actually tries to be funny that's on youtube.

Oh god I've just seen the Lavazza ad, assumed it wd be a US thing only

so sick of the phoney sex voices used on adverts for "luxury" Christmas food

not an ad per se, but the trailer for 'i'm a celebrity...' where dec makes a decision and a woman screams and ant says that that was a good decision is complaint-worthy.

the lavazza ad is terrible but the pimlico plumbers murdering something to the tune of 'merry christmas everyone' is a crime against humanity.

The UK version of the 'V.I.Poo' advert has a caption at the end that reads 'perfect for Secret Santas'. Now a few years ago a colleague got a spray bottle of breath freshener in a Secret Santa, but a bottle of pre-dump toilet spray?!

that sounds like a terrible Secret Santa gift. who wants to open a gift called "V.I.Poo" in front of their beloved co-workers

Me? J/k

Sainsbury's Christmas ad people I will find you and I will kill you

Paco Rabanne must die

Is there any chance advertisers will ever get tired of that 'watching a young couple grow together, have children and then watch as their children have children in turn' or 'mother/daughter (or father/son) through the decades' shite they're so fond of?

My cockles are warm enough, thank you.

Its Sisters, this year I have noticed.

"whats a computer" ad totally redeemed now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVN5C3x4ZZo

these fucking shell ads on instagram, facebook, youtube, tumblr, fucking fuck them!!!

There's a cutesy mcdonald's ad in the uk on the theme of uh-oh these stupid people are saying there's all sorts in chicken mcnuggets let's prove them wrong jingly jangly twinkly cluck

And it's one of the hundreds in that sort of studied twee post-wes anderson style that's the visual equivalent of the innocent smoothies aesthetic

That's double-dumb, that McDonald's one, because if there were bits, beaks or whatever, they would be shut down.

OK this Xeljanz XR ad where the lady buys a record player and plays records for her young son and dances with him and they drop the needle at the beginning of the runout groove really triggers some weird rage inside of me.

pro tip for the Quorn marketing people: every time I hear Alan Davies's smug lisp I'm gonna eat the cutest animal I can find

Incredibly the latest Nationwide advert with the sisters surpasses all the others so far in eye-gouging ear-stabbing horror

indeed. I thought nothing could be worse than the Sainsburys xmas adverts but they have trumped it

Nationwide is a menace all the way around. they've got a new one with Tori Kelly doing a "soulful" take on the jingle. who the fuck wants to hear that 84 times during a football game? it was bad enough when it was Brad Paisley.

a good commercial, though, is Chris Paul, James Harden, Trevor Ariza and Oscar from The Office singing Backstreet Boys.

Nationwide is really the worst - "our ads are a national treasure" is pretty much the worst possible vantage point to approach a commercial from

I guess Progressive do this too but there's at least some wit and self-deprecation there. Nationwide stumbled into one commercial people sorta liked and now are gonna rehash it for the next 3+ years

This is the UK Nationwide advert.
