They show Alabama state tourism ads on tv often with the local news, usually outlining some big Bobby Jones series of golf courses. A newer one of these ads definitely had me doing a serious eyebrow raise was them selling making a visit to history to go to the Edmund Pettus Bridge and shows the 16th Street Baptist Church AND oh yeah you can still go play some golf at one of our 'Bobby Jones' resorts. Anything for a buck...

Thorvald, Wild’s polar bear hero, discovers his new girlfriend Sarah has a ‘climate change kink’ when he walks in on her watching a film about melting ice caps and having a moment of self love. He’s taken aback but, having promised not to kink shame, Thorvald indulges Sarah by listening to her struggles about doing the right thing for the planet, from sometimes leaving the tap running while she cleans her teeth, to not rinsing her recycling and even, eating the occasional out-of-season strawberry. He even gets into it himself, with some single-use plastic-related role play.

all tv ads for subscription services that are aired on terrestrial tv can get in the sea, but especially the current paramount / coffee delivery one.

There's an Irish ad about road tolls that I only see when I'm watching stuff on All 4, and I genuinely can't understand what's happening in it, except that it makes paying your toll through the app seem incredibly complicated and scary, which is probably not the intention.Oh, it's also really sexist, but that's a given.
