Worst TV adverts of the moment

i find it really hard to believe those two are related tbh

i'd probably stop short of wishing death upong them tho

Their ditties about family life are like Marmite - you either love them or hate them.

suggest one of these options is untrue

flo and joan are bad but still better than the previous nationwide ad campaign where people recited their horrible poems

on a sliding scale of horror you're right, gotta admit i find them more ignorable than fully noxious

oh jesus those poetry ads were like a glimpse into hell

flo and joan are basically an nth-generation photocopy of garfunkel and oates, who are (as with all musical comedians) already bad

i find it really hard to believe those two are related tbh

^^^^^

"Can the sisters from the Nationwide adverts please die a horrible death," raged one annoyed viewer.

I don't remember writing this tbh.

ambushed by a whole sequence of WOWCHERs yesterday (while watching australian masterchef 2016, so i still come out the winner)

yeah those wowcher adverts are really bad

lol i quite like the sisters -- in a not-as-bad-as-ppl-are-saying kind of way -- but then i will also fiercely stan for pam ayres, fite me

(the poems were unbearable though)

itt: mark s fiercely stans for pam ayres while acknowledging her poems were unbearable

Shpock it.

I know I'm old now but I don't think I know what Wowcher and Shpock are for.

pam's poems are good not bad, the poetry ads = vice versa

shpock it is worse than wowchers

wowchers = getting stuff
shpock it = selling it again

Vinted = sloaney mum version of Shpock apparently

bcz i (correctly) watch a fvckton of marple and midsomer, i see a lot of ads for (i) the alleviation of various conditions, (ii) stairlifts, (iii) cruises

some of them are american ads overdubbed but in all of them the acting is weirdly wooden and terrible

Ditto life assurance and funeral cover ads.

itt: mark s demonstrates his misunderstanding of the word 'correctly'

Here's one...

i like the stairlift ad with Leonard from Butterflies

At least the words to the schpock advert aren't still "schpock schpock schpock schpock-schpock-schpock".

They are!

Somewhere along the way it morphed into 'shpock it' repeated ad nauseum

Looks like money supermarket got fed up of paying actors to be he-man / skeletor.

Lurpak wanker is back again

fuck is this "dilly dilly" bullshit?

Who the fuck drinks Bud Lite anyway

according to that advert, idiots

organic honey mead douche is kinda funny tho

I'm in a pub and some absolute cunts are repeatedly shouting dilly dilly. Reconsidering my position on the death penalty

i'd like to thank the Quorn Marketing Board for reading this thread and dubbing out Alan Davies's voice from your advert. the advert and the product are still shit, but i appreciate the gesture.

am i dense for not understanding the 'posh dip' ad? I think I reflexively shut down and stop listening but Mr kinder asked me how it made sense and I didn't know.

I assume "posh dip" is a nod at healthy eating, in a bourgeois style, so the point is let them eat let ketchup because the moral purity of Quorn will cover you. But that's the annoyingness of the advert

that's what i thought! but had remembered it as 'healthy dip' when I tried to explain it, not 'posh', which would make sense. But I watched it again (I deserve everything I get) and saw it said posh and posh =/= healthy so I was baffled once again.

I'm reading this to Mr k right now and he's just shaking his head muttering 'it's so, so, shit'. Sorry, Quorn Marketing Board.

Posh = code innit?

is this the thread where I express my bottomless dislike for the inescapable avoiders for [LARGE CLIPART OF A ROOSTER, TEEHEE] "Blockers"

speaking of posh, i meant to post this aldi ad when it was inescapable a couple of months ago - feels like there's a dissertation's worth of class signifiers in here

Katherine, I was going to direct you to the US thread here because I had no idea what you're talking about but apparently it's a film so we'll probably get it here eventually

It's already here and I was gonna make a snidey Facebook post about it this weekend. Katherine otm, another milestone on the road to the collapse of western civilization

bg the latest aldi add with the baroque caricature of smug posh woman in the lift is another level

huh, hadn't seen the lift one before but just looked it up on youtube

forget a dissertation, there's probably a whole book to be written on aldi using class consciousness in ads to bolster their bottom line

hey advertising guys, maybe knock it off with the 70s funk on every other fucking ad?

also why the fuck does cooking = big band swing?

Hey Brooke the artist from the film industry why do you laugh after everything you say even when it's not funny?

You just dont expect to hear raining blood by slayer on an advert

(didn't notice the 'stores nationwide' thing until just now so the whole thing just seemed like an advert for going outside)

(NB dog isn't really talking)

not as bad as the singing toddler

Diet Coke woman: "I bet I can make the most obnoxious ad of the year"
