Worst TV adverts of the moment

i think i knew that about you :)

.xls

someone should do a version of it where it goes full deconstructed skronk about 4 minutes in.

I don't know where this trend for making added protein versions of food products started but pack it in you wankers

Just pondering...

Would they really open a nursing home called "St Peters Gate"?

I understand why the David Brent song is in the Freeview advert but I'm equally sure Gervais is thinking it's because he wrote a brilliant song so... <Gervais face>

voice cracking with emotion at Morrison's centrality to the circle of life

They couldn't get it for being infuriating, so they had to go down the 'misleading' route... but they got it, praise be, they got it! God bless the Advertising Standards Authority...

Does the ASA have a death penalty?

Graham gets called upstairs. He gets half way up before being told not to bother. Then a baby does. Then Graham does again.

What is that about?

softcore cleavage-fest for Mya cosmetic surgery just made me irl lol

still really fucking funny this morning

there's a few MYA adverts that exist - I only ever seem to catch them during the ad break in Countdown though. They're hilarious, I like to imagine a director trying to coax a horse to bounce harder to really convey the sense of augmentation

Everybody seems v happy

i don't remember hallowe'en adverts before, but a bunch of people are doing them this year (including one using the 'round the twist' theme tune)

The screaming in that Asda advert really pushes my grumpy old man button

That’s the prostate, right?

Lol probably

I did enjoy the revival of "Going Round the Twist" for the sainsburys adverts

Hi British Gas, "we're with you" is almost, kind of, an actual real world colloquial phrase, but every time you try to shoehorn it into your ad copy it just sounds Martian, give it up you useless twats.

Move that skeletor is back on our screens in time for Halloween.

Move -> nice

Bloody autocorrect. Of those 10 words 4 were wrong.

(And 1 of those)

If you can do a proletarian accent and have no self-respect there's money to be made advertising online gambling

This one plays like 5x during every single episode of Shark Tank and rubs me the wrong way on several levels:

Jesus that's some Starship Troopers shit

I mean
1) Obviously there's the dumb veteran jingoistic part, but it's a fairly benign form and I'd excuse that alone
2) But it's being used to sell phone service
3) The commercial gives you the impression that it is going to have a narrative arc but then it doesn't
4) I don't think most veterans would actually get all that excited just because someone did a thank-you-for-your-service over the loudspeaker
5) They couldn't even be bothered to make it sound like the voice was actually coming over the loudspeaker!
6) The connection between this ballgame and the product is completely unclear (other than the fact that there's a deal for veterans and the ballgame also thanks veterans)
7) The vet's maudlin facial expression kills a small part of me each time I see it

I have never given a shit about early 80s children's movie Ghostbusters but this building society advert is helping me to empathise with the GamerGaters that do

Wait until you see the Wizard of Oz version.

martin whatsisface looks more like norman wisdom with every new advert. he's ice skating in the new one.

I accept that I'm wrong and not getting it and being a failed ally but nothing makes you look more of a cretin than doing cosmetics adverts

"I'm Tom" he says. he's half-naked in your daughter's bedroom but it's somehow ok because he has gum and a cheeky grin.

and not a tv advert, but every time that leaflet about a £400 reading light falls out of my weekend paper a bit of me dies inside.

Haha otm about that light leaflet! And the name of the product is the Serious Light! More like the you can't be serious light.

I've known this secret for a week or two
Aaaargh aaargh aaargh aargh aaargh kill die die

Eva Green cut it out with the edgelord shit

real people talking about M&S food, fuck the lot of yiz

Chewing gum Tom looks like 'they're gonna taste great!' kid

nothing impresses prospective in-laws more than a box of Thornton's while you cosplay being a cross-channel ferry steward

nope I'm still not swayed to buy a Facebook camera and set it up in my home, A for effort though

That peloton app, if the advert is anything to go by, must have a high rate of masturbators, and what interests me is the company deals with that

How*

Is it James Nesbitt doing the voice overs for BT like he's being held at gunpoint?

that sandcastle bloke is going to give me nightmares.

also, maxine peake, how exactly does a smart meter save me energy?

oh man the smart meter propaganda machine, so transparent

first time i saw that sand man i got M.R. James vibes

If I really want to save energy, Maxine, the best option would be to keep my old dumb meter and link the fucker out with some 4mm twin and then viola! free energy.

one of those smart meter adverts had The Jellies' "Jive Baby On A Saturday Night" on it!

I've gone hardcore militant against smart meters since this doorstepping prick informed me I'd be forced to pay for the install if I didn't opt for it now. I told him my meter was linked out, there was a mini cannabis factory under the stairs and fuck off and die cunt!

smart meter propaganda seems to be based on two contradictory premises:

1. when using a conventional meter you are being charged in a way that is inaccurate, tending towards overcharging.

2. we, a company looking to make money from you, wants to spend money installing a meter that will charge you less out of a sense of fairness

It's because now, the supply of energy is a competitive market. So, they would prefer you give *them* a reduced amount of money rather than log in to some other supplier.

> when using a conventional meter you are being charged in a way that is inaccurate

this is only because they read the meters once a year now, the legal minimum, rather than every 3 months like they used to.

they've just sent me a leaflet saying that they are changing my tarrif and i will be 34p better off every year. don't spend it all at once.

more worryingly, they have increased the standing charge and decreased the per-unit charge, which makes it harder for me to save money by decreasing usage, rendering the smart meter thing more ridiculous.
