this is way more deeply cynical and post human than any "post apocalyptic" movie mashup.

that workday ad managed to cast a guy who exists at the exact midpoint between thomas middleditch and tj miller and place him in a setting that recalls the site of a SILICON VALLEY subplot

Good grief @ all this

This advert isn't particularly terrible but do men not eat chocolate?

Possibly fake Australian voiceover guy on Samsung advert, I will find you and I will kill you.

Guy who says "extraordinary powers" a lot in washing powder advert, I hope you roast in hell

wondering who that fucking awful singer was on the sad doggo advert, turns out there's another cult indie hero who I can't abide

The advertising industry, disgusting savages.

maybe cos i'm a very nervous driver and that's exactly how i feel about other drivers when i'm on the road

I just see lots of clowns, that is obviously unacceptable.

This fucking BDO ad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO6TnSbiKEE

Wispy Tech Jesus' "Yes! It is!" and the woman's smug "we aren't!" and the fact that everyone at this company apparently answers questions incompletely before immediately walking away...

Bad scripting, appalling acting. Evidently I don't know and I don't know BDO

There is something very wrong with the ad I saw this morning, to do with promoting British Army Veterans a for the purposes of employment. The principle of it is fine, but ..

It has Joanna Lumley, Matt Barber.....

The antibiotics one. Unless there is a black market for antibiotics I don't know about, if you've got antibiotics then your doctor prescribed them to you, so you are following your doctor's advice? How about tell doctors to stop overprescribing antibiotics not admonishing patients for taking them?!

Colonel Poo, Saturday, 28 October 2017 14:00 (six years ago) link

There's a long-standing story that mean old patients badger poor, feeble-willed GPs into prescribing antibiotics against their better judgement

This is actually pretty good. The first clown deliberately looks like a cross between Ronald McDonald and Pennywise from IT. Not that BK don't have their own creepy AF mascot of course.

That Xmas PAddingtonBear one.

It does sound a lot like "fuck you little bear" right at the end..

Mark G, Friday, 10 November 2017 17:14 (six years ago) link

must have took a real leap of the imagination to cast Martin Freeman as a mansplaining twat

the intentional phallusy (Noodle Vague), Friday, 10 November 2017 18:15 (six years ago) link

He's a bit more likable in the third one, probably because of all the people hating on the first two.

Have been home for two hours and still haven't seen the John Lewis commercial.

koogs, Friday, 10 November 2017 20:47 (six years ago) link

feel like he's worse in the new one tbh

the intentional phallusy (Noodle Vague), Friday, 10 November 2017 21:36 (six years ago) link

I really hate this advert with this homely fucking heartwarming Yorkshire twat talking about growing fucking peas - he says he's been growing them for 30 years, so why does he sound like he's 80 years old? You're an actor in a sound studio in London, you've never been near a *pea field in you life. (*if that's where you grow fucking peas).

Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Friday, 17 November 2017 23:09 (six years ago) link

I think you grow peas in a pod. The hard part is sorting them so all the alike ones to grow together.

the Audi/Send In The Clowns ad is excellent. The part where the different shaped objects fall out of the back of the lorry is quite beautiful.

> cartoon robots for children

Pacific Rim was a pg-13 so not really children.

She used her tablet to access Google maps. Big whoop. The "I can't do that on a Mac" thing that they always cram into those adverts is interesting because it's usually just the software that's the difference, not a physical limitation.

Go compare adverts have seemingly stopped using the word fantastic in every sentence, which is something.

The skeletor adverts have got weirder.

koogs, Monday, 27 November 2017 03:28 (six years ago) link

OK, there's another advert with a clown in it, this time for Specsavers, though it's fairly amusing.

Apple advertisement with bug girl playing with her iPad in the yard, neighbor asks "oh are you on your COMPUTER?" and she says "what's a COMPUTER??" and then looks away, completely uninterested in the answer

This new Lavazza commercial that changes the lyrics to "My Girl" to be entirely about the awesomeness of coffee is actually kind of hilarious. It seems very Euro, too, like it was probably hammered into everyone's skull over there in 2015 and finally they just decided to run it here.

The Fortnightly Intruder (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 2 December 2017 06:57 (six years ago) link

Uh it's not the version that actually tries to be funny that's on youtube.

Oh god I've just seen the Lavazza ad, assumed it wd be a US thing only

so sick of the phoney sex voices used on adverts for "luxury" Christmas food

best display name of 2017 (Noodle Vague), Friday, 8 December 2017 18:34 (six years ago) link

not an ad per se, but the trailer for 'i'm a celebrity...' where dec makes a decision and a woman screams and ant says that that was a good decision is complaint-worthy.

koogs, Sunday, 10 December 2017 22:28 (six years ago) link

the lavazza ad is terrible but the pimlico plumbers murdering something to the tune of 'merry christmas everyone' is a crime against humanity.

koogs, Sunday, 10 December 2017 22:29 (six years ago) link

The UK version of the 'V.I.Poo' advert has a caption at the end that reads 'perfect for Secret Santas'. Now a few years ago a colleague got a spray bottle of breath freshener in a Secret Santa, but a bottle of pre-dump toilet spray?!

Zings Can Only Get Better (snoball), Tuesday, 12 December 2017 20:58 (six years ago) link

that sounds like a terrible Secret Santa gift. who wants to open a gift called "V.I.Poo" in front of their beloved co-workers

Is there any chance advertisers will ever get tired of that 'watching a young couple grow together, have children and then watch as their children have children in turn' or 'mother/daughter (or father/son) through the decades' shite they're so fond of?
