Worst TV adverts of the moment

halifax have hit a new low with the "ISA ISA Baby" ad

see, I don't think this is quite as bad as the previous two. It's a dreadful shitty pun, but at least there's no reliance on "The Reward Horn" or unsettling fake arms for high-fivin' this time. Mercifully, it seems slightly shorter as well.

"Give me back that Filet o' Fish. Give me that fish"

'I think I'm going to need... more ties!'

Halifax are getting off on being obnoxious cunts at this point really

Sfm!
That 'CASH MY GOLD' advert is really grating now, as are those ryvita minis ads where women are fighting over the food equivalent of cardboard.

Didn't think anything would upset my fangirl self more than seeing Iggy Pop in an insurance ad but I've just seen Benicio Del Toro in an awful advert for a brand new kind of magnum ice cream. It was bleak.

'I think I'm going to need... more ties!'

AARRGGHHHHH!!!!

WE BUY ANY CAR DOTCOM WE BUY ANY CAR WE BUY ANY CAR

I enjoy the infectious energy of that one.

the Five-Hour Energy "Fight the 2:30 Feeling" office douchebag: I WANT TO STAB HIS SMUG FACE

I have that reaction against the toothpaste ad.

It's been re-edited but still..

Follows lad from sliding down the bannister, to kiss from girl in class and so on. The way he turns to the camera and smugly smiles.etc..

any carl's jr. ad that features the smarmy smackable spokesdude

"choose any car! you CANNOT be serious."

...ANY ANY ANY ANY...

current nadir is the 'you keep fit, obviously. whey protein, how much do you pay?' as if that's even approaching a normal conversation.

"cheeky volvic"

is that the volvic challenge thing? I want to murder that man.

You one a challenge for drinking water - what do you want a fucking medal you horse-faced surfer-dude wannabe?? Sometimes I like to go outside for a "cheeky breath of fresh air", that doesn't make it a challenge.

the really annoying thing about the volvic advert is its based on the myth that you need to consume a metric ton of pure water a day.

I think the commercial is actually pretty cute. The product itself is dumb as dirt though. Are people embarrassed that their child, like every child in history before them, has to wear a diaper? It's probably targeted more toward parents who think that dressing up their kids in grown-up clothes is cute. Does Anne Geddes do that?

Oh god, just watched that again. The "pooping your pants" bit - ugh.

This makes my blood boil:

I mean, doesn't she have any fucking friends?

I am not surprised that he left her, tbh.

The one that gets me at the moment is "I don't just volumise my lashes, I millionise them". IT DOESN'T FUCKING MEAN ANYTHING. RAAAAAARGH.

vodafone ad is crepey as hell. was talking about it with a friend the other day.

Vodafone ad: "I just wanted us to be happy...is that too much?" = NNNNGHGHGHGHHGHGHNNGNGHGHHGHGHHGHG.

HEY WRIGLEYS EXTRA YOU CAN GET YR TWEE FUCKING VEGETABLES RIGHT UP YOUR ARSE

This track was written Nylon composer Damian De Boos Smith. It’s not available to download.

Thank fuck for that

l'Oreal ad

'inspired by the science of genes'

oof, that vodafone ad is so freaking emotionally manipulative! *shudder*.

TMobile ad featuring a woman dressed as Marilyn Monroe dancing with a male blow-up doll.

I mean, doesn't she have any fucking friends?

and

I am not surprised that he left her, tbh.

Both OTM. I hate that advert so so much.

Never had an opinion on this guy either way 'til he started doing these adverts, now I hate him. Good work all round!

5 brothers ad. ruining pulp fiction music and making me want to smash.

Peter Mandelson

the new whiskers ad!

What is iPad?

iPad is thin!

dunno if it's on tv, but in the cinema i saw this appalling advert for calvin klein underwear, in which a succession of male models say stuff like "you wanna see my [bleep]?", over and over again. the bleep is the concept. and at the end one of them says: "what the [bleep] are you wearing?" n e way, oddly confrontational. guess it targets dudes w. low self-esteem (and, in this case, who like nicole holofcener movies).

[bleep]

sorry, was just checking how you get square brackets on non code stuff

the new whiskers ad!

Is that the one where the woman claims the cat is "having a friend over", ie. next door's moggy gets quid-a-pouch food too?

Because that advert really, really blows.

Halifax are the eternal champions of the mindblowingly awful ad campaigns. The current Radio Halifax ones for current eg.

...although it does have Lionel Richie being thrown through plate glass window

i dunno, i found it quite amusing, and kind of surreal that LR would be appearing in an ad for a food brand he's most likely never heard of next to a sportsman he's most likely never to have heard of either.

walkers are the UK equiv of american lay's both owned by pepsico and everycunt's heard of gary lineker rubbish advert

churhill - "told me he was in a tug of war competition" that womans voice and the blokes reaction. also, it's on ALL THE FOOKING TIME

we buy any car dot com. with the gang of people singing down the phone, hate the way that woman says her line really fast and looks smug about it.

I've been noticing a trend where the ad is basically the standard customer talking with a salesman. Except the gimmick is the customer is SHOUTING and EXCLAIMING!!! everything in a pseudo-ironic and completely obnoxious way. Almost like the company is saying "We know our customers secretly think that we think they are whining assholes! So we're going to be straight up about it and it'll appear ironic and funny!"

This gets on my nerves soooooo much. Some rent-a-car company does this on TBS or Comedy Central, the salesman is like "You just take any car you like." and the customer goes "CHOOSE ANY CAR???? YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!!" It's also in some Best Buy and Progressive ads.

"I CANT BELIEVE WHAT A DEAL I'M GETTING EVEN THOUGH I AM AN OBNOXIOUS, LOUD CUSTOMER!!!"

consumer's gettin' negged

guilty lols from the richie walkers ad.
