Worst TV adverts of the moment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK3Xz8QrEqQ

Kids in the front room, OAPs in the back
Lib/Cons in the alley trying to increase VAT
I tried to get away, but I couldn't get far
'cause Kia make stupid piece-of-shit cars

huhhuh huhhuh

Just saw the Yell advert. Don't understand the haterz tbh, I thought it was kinda sweet.

Fuck that Virgin Mobile ad that has some voiceover guy speaking the lyrics to 'House Of Fun' by Madness.

read this thread and you'll find out about the bad adverts

more than freeman

i'm never eating Jammy Dodgers again

Plusnet - "Good Honest Broadband From Yorkshire"

I want the family in this to perish in a fire.

Not a TV ad but...
"There you are, streaming stuff like there's no tomorrow" but then some fucker tries to sell you Sky broadband.

Jennifer Saunders' 'Choccy Philly I'll Do Anything For Money Don't Be Silly' ad. When I want to smear excrement coloured chocolate gunk on bread, I buy a jar of Nutella, thank you very much. Also I have one of those purple plastic megaphones. Only £9.99 from Maplin, what a bargain.

I can't tell if this is amazing or terrible:

going for amazing... but hearing people repeating that, even once, would change my mind

I saw that ad for the first time the other day. I'm going for terrible.

Going for terrible. Physically cringing here.

The bit where he threw the tea out of the window was funny, they should have made the advert more like "oh, this tea is shite <throws tea out of window> what you want is... Aldi Cheap-o Tea!"

It's not shown outside Scotland, right? I assume giving it laldy isn't a concept familiar enough to hang a slogan on anywhere else?

That volkswagen one at the moment showing haircuts, accessories etc supposedly from certain years in the past - it's not a terrible advert, but it seems to have been put together by people with no memory of life before the year 2000. The 'boombox' shot from 1995 is at least ten years out, same as the 70s style tennis video game.

These twinings adverts are extraordinary. I think I'm in love. With the adverts, the girl, walking on the beach, the sky, clouds, life itself.

Charlene does indeed manage to make it look completely effortless to produce such a beautiful voice and song.

And I'm so glad it has come to Twinings attention that women today juggle numerous roles on a day to day basis.

why is that bull dressed up like something from dickens and talking like tim nice-but-dim to try and sell us curry sauce. does not compute.

British Telecom have a broadband service called 'Infinity'. They've just started a new, faster service called... 'Infinity 2' Twice as much infinity as before!

I don't think I get the Dulux one where they paint the room yellow & the son moves out. Is it meant to be too blinding for his daily hangovers?

what's with that shaving ad where the guy goes around the world in 5 weeks but only needs one razor. first of all, people who do "around the world in 5 weeks" are neckbeards, no doubt about it. secondly, who are you selling this shit to!?

how about those "Men at Work" commercials, where they're all standing against a blank set, "we could pretend this is a set" like they're some fuckin horrible improv troupe. "I'm chatting up only one lady...but she's the most beautiful lady in the room". "THAT'S MY MOM!!" "IM AT A BAR WITH MOM!" buuuurn, baby!! LOL

yuck

ugh, using Philadelphia in those recipes a) costs more than and b) doesn't taste as good as using double cream and freshly grated parmesan.

has anyone ever described their teeth as "squeaking clean".

Not until that fucking advert, no. Could it be based on a "kiss this guy" style mishearing of "squeaky clean" by the creative responsible?

and thusly language "evolves"

blooding ridiculous

fucky nell

forking caunts

Been back in the UK for four weeks now and 'creamy but low in fat' is the most punchable ad ever made, even more than the Choo Choo Choo Trainline one.

"I just sold my car click click"

I just skipped your ad FUCK OFF

Since that "She's always a woman" ad where a girl goes through all her life until she's a grandma.

Not nomming that one, that's pretty good. But: This ad would not work 'as is' for a guy, he needs some sort of 'achievement' or a different twist on the tale. (I did see a similar one to the first from a guy pov, shown once, can't remember the details, anyway..)

Eventually, a guy one, where the POV is of the daughter growing up, and even though the mum is around it's all the guy's pov (carrying upstairs a sleeping girl, inflating her swilling armbands, etc) until she leaves home for College in the VW her dad bought for her.

Not that one either..

It was the one I saw yesterday. National lottery.

An old woman looks back at how she used to be a brilliant runner but the war intervened and she had to go to work instead, a brief bit of her getting married and having kids, eventually the daughter (or granddaughter it must be it all went a bit quickly) is seen just about to start the race in the Olympics. It's supposed to be uplifting and how the lottery grant committee helps to fulfil ambitions. So why did it seem so depressing in the end?

Did anyone see this one? What kind of tree am I barking up here?

swimming armbands, obv.

God yeah, I hate that one - there's nothing uplifting about having your dreams shattered but being all benign about it because someone else gets to do it for you 60 years later. There's one for a lawyer firm that's like that too, where some woman is burying her husband but it's all OK because a pregnant stranger smiles at her.

uh? So, what, the pregstrang is the dead guy's affair or something?

I think it's some "my husband is dead but hey! there's a random new baby on the way somewhere so I have accepted the circle of life" wise old woman shit.

Those billboard Go Compare ads that look like they've been grafftied on. So many people have fallen for it and put it on Facebook.

xpost oh ffs. "Hey widow! Get some perspective!"

current Phones 4 U tv ad is the greatest of all time btw

Snack enlightenment. Surprised the league against asian defamation haven't created uproar.
