As you say..
Those comedy ones are probably the best of that type of ad (remember the "Smug Google" one?) but twice each (tops) is enough.

I've started thinking the grumpy teen on the right in the Robert Webb advert for Now TV is how Laura Pidcock looks in the shadow cabinet.

Every time the Gucci advert that uses In Every Dream Home A Heartache starts up, I laugh. Did they never listen to the lyrics?

there's a local artist - who is disabled and on income assistance - who gucci contacted about doing something with, they had some back and forth and then they then cut contact (without saying they were doing so). shortly afterwards they've got someone else to just rip off her work completely and she hasn't seen a cent. so fuck gucci basically

the advert in question is one of two that C4 are using (the other one is some optical thing) that completely mangles English into something nobody could use
that video is incredible though, the shot they use when she says 'the masses'!!

It's 2019, Now TV shouldn't be making adverts where the punchline is the fear of something being put up someone's bum.
