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

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?!

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?

OK this Xeljanz XR ad where the lady buys a record player and plays records for her young son and dances with him and they drop the needle at the beginning of the runout groove really triggers some weird rage inside of me.

Incredibly the latest Nationwide advert with the sisters surpasses all the others so far in eye-gouging ear-stabbing horror
― i know kore-eda (or something), Monday, 8 January 2018 20:54 (six years ago) link
indeed. I thought nothing could be worse than the Sainsburys xmas adverts but they have trumped it
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Monday, 8 January 2018 20:55 (six years ago) link
Nationwide is a menace all the way around. they've got a new one with Tori Kelly doing a "soulful" take on the jingle. who the fuck wants to hear that 84 times during a football game? it was bad enough when it was Brad Paisley.
a good commercial, though, is Chris Paul, James Harden, Trevor Ariza and Oscar from The Office singing Backstreet Boys.
― evol j, Monday, 8 January 2018 20:58 (six years ago) link
Nationwide is really the worst - "our ads are a national treasure" is pretty much the worst possible vantage point to approach a commercial from
I guess Progressive do this too but there's at least some wit and self-deprecation there. Nationwide stumbled into one commercial people sorta liked and now are gonna rehash it for the next 3+ years

Worse than Charity lotteries are:
Charities which soothe you into putting a "bequeathe" in your will. Ooh, carry on the good work so your descendents will benefit etc.
Nothing about how the charity will slap a lawyer straight onto preventing your descendents from selling your house/property (or deciding amongst themselves as to how to divvy it up, etc) and selling it themselves to make sure their 10% is gotten as soon as possible.
It hasn't happened to me, but it has happened to people I know.
Seriously, pass it on. If you/they want to donate to charity from a will, specify! £5,000 lets say. Do Not Mention A Percentage!!!
