Worst TV adverts of the moment

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?

My cockles are warm enough, thank you.

Its Sisters, this year I have noticed.

"whats a computer" ad totally redeemed now

these fucking shell ads on instagram, facebook, youtube, tumblr, fucking fuck them!!!

There's a cutesy mcdonald's ad in the uk on the theme of uh-oh these stupid people are saying there's all sorts in chicken mcnuggets let's prove them wrong jingly jangly twinkly cluck

And it's one of the hundreds in that sort of studied twee post-wes anderson style that's the visual equivalent of the innocent smoothies aesthetic

That's double-dumb, that McDonald's one, because if there were bits, beaks or whatever, they would be shut down.

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.

pro tip for the Quorn marketing people: every time I hear Alan Davies's smug lisp I'm gonna eat the cutest animal I can find

Incredibly the latest Nationwide advert with the sisters surpasses all the others so far in eye-gouging ear-stabbing horror

indeed. I thought nothing could be worse than the Sainsburys xmas adverts but they have trumped it

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.

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

This is the UK Nationwide advert.

I really hope there aren't any more to come

I'm amazed at myself but I don't hate these. I don't like them - obviously, jesus - but I was expecting so much worse

loathe the guy (who i'm told is on the show silicon valley) in the verizon ads

i haven't seen it but I hope it's jian yang

he's still miles ahead of the Chevy dude who throws eggs at people

Those ads are terrible but Middleditch is great on SV

Gents this is the adverts thread, get ye to the commercials thread

did anyone ever post this? maybe the most disturbing thing i've seen

They didn't listen to us re Schofield.

Captain Obvious doesn't even say obvious things any more he just invites a sniper's bullet

Is it wrong to want to cut the woman who voices the Barclays ads?

Oh god and the Nat West woman

I think I hate chaeirt

I think I hate charity lotteries the most of all, the ugly, money-grubbing, sanctimonious, self-defeating cunts

Those fucks have ruined Let 'em In for me

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!!!

didn't know that. that's sick.

Staple it to yr mother's fridge!

I'm not saying all the charities do that. I could tell you which it was, but then mmm dangerous add disclaimers etc. Also, that they were the only one.

which child is more noxious: sassy girl in the Robinson's ad or professional northerner being menaced by a giant Martin Keown. my vote's on the latter, but the lass is trying hard.

This is very belated but is there anybody more obnoxious than the man off the gladstone brooks ads? I have to mute the telly every time he comes on

is that the earnest "have you done it yet?" guy, cos he's a massive cunt

yeah it is, i shout threats about shivs at the tv when he's on

"What's going on?" is his opening salvo, I always look up at the telly and then hate myself for not muting as soon as the last race finished

I'm Michael and I spend my days off watching attheraces

i hope his guilty conscience keeps him awake at night

We've come a long long way together

Are they saying we have to praise their bank? Because

I'm not sure if the Oak Furnitureland lads are the actual biggest twats on god's earth but they're in the running
