Worst TV adverts of the moment

how do you know if you've only nodded to him?

I have spoken to him several times. Also he is a bit of loud actorly type.

ok then, i believe you...

(example of 2 that springs to mind is the insurance ads with kids voiced by fry and Laurie. Choccy topping?)

so apparently this horrible grating guff is Daniel Johnston, idk what the fuck is wrong with people

tbf you probably wouldn't like the original either, but it's a horrible grating advertising company bollocks cover of a Daniel Johnston song

OK I owe him half an apology. Really never want to hear "Blue Monday" ever again either.

Nothing worse than child actors reading cutesey what-kids-say lines thought up by 35 year old Oxbridge cokeheads.

One thing worse is that the lines are not like anything a child might say, these people don't know any children.

It's the fake laffing of the child carer or parent or whatever that is worse.

omg yes "i can't believe you've asked this outrageous and mildly distasteful question that i read in the script last night"

Them feebs that don't have time in their lives to pick up a prescription are laying it on a bit thick

it just makes sense

"i'm quadraplegic and live in the middle of a tall forest guarded by a witch so no way have i got time to pick up my NHS prescription"

Lottery advert where an actor talks about his 3 imaginary friends in the vaguest possible terms is maddeningly lazy

I've just seen an Apple advert that does use a Daniel Johnson song, so if it was that one you were objecting to NV that's not a cover, but there is another advert that's been on for ages with a horrible cover of True Love Will Find You In The End that I thought you were talking about.

J2O : Crappy CGI orange Lama vs BBQ.

truly woeful.

Yeah Col I looked up the dog advert and was surprised it was Johnson cos I didn't think he'd sound like George Ezra.

The Apple song annoys partly cos of the cognitive mismatch of the actors and the song, but the song itself - stupid non sequitur lyric, faux old timey production that sounds grating rather than old timey, might as well throw a ukelele in there...I'm sure it's not the sum total of his work but it's too tweecore for me, especially in the context of trying to sell stuff.

"Really never want to hear "Blue Monday" ever again either."

I thought this but then I realised that I only thought I didn't and that I do.

I like this cover of the Daniel Johnson song.

Oh I wondered, ta.

I don't even know where to start with the concept of a fucking bank, any fucking bank, caring about mental health...

i was having *exactly* that same angry thought last night but i was ready for bed and couldn't be bothered to

i mean

their industry, their business practices...they're a *factor* in mental illness for fuck sake

fuck them to oblivion, kill kill

Money problems do not contribute to mental health issues, it's scientific fact.

Anorexia.

Wow.

The Bank it Scotland once sent a collection letter to the psychiatric hospital I was in after a suicide attempt. I wasn’t worried about money, but it was a student account, and I stopped being a student, so they wanted me to pay my overdraft.

a biscuit is not an adequate replacement for breakfast, you eating-disorder-exploiting monsters

what about a Tunnocks Teacake?

Wouldn't say no.

I don't get marshmallow so no but at least it's got chocolate on it

"at least it's got chocolate on it"

New board description?

Oh, OK...

Sun Bingo -Are You Gonna Bingo (Hilarious UK Ad)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnUeGjjzlC0

the good old wacky Sun, the people's tabloid.

still running pretend friend lotto guy, i will find him and kill him i swear

imagine taking a job in advertising, i can't grasp that level of moral bankruptcy

I imagine a job where your dialogue goes,
"hey remember that are you gonna bang song from 10 years back that was playing in the SU when you got smashed and accidentally puked in Sarah's mouth as you tried to kiss her?"
"yeah?"
"we should probably pitch that as an ad cause bingo sounds a bit like bang doe."
"yeah."
and it doesn't seem that much worse than anything else.

McDonald's punk chicken wraps is a fantasy hellscape of sub-literate romance

good counterpoint

let's go and jump around a bowling alley with a hosepipe

i thought it was meant to be set in the 80s when i first watched it

All those adverts where different people speak sing the lines of some popular song. Drown them all

v much yes

In 'ordinary people' voices. Unbearable.

Bernard has an ordinary voice?

Who is Bernard?

ordinary would be over-selling it

this is some kind of terrible, carabao energy drink, new from thailand apparently.

The launch was accompanied by a high profile TV advertising campaign featuring the company founder, rock star Yuenyong Opakul, also known as Aed Carabao.[3] This campaign was investigated by the Office of the Consumer Protection Board for being too violent.[4] but went on to win a gold and a silver medal at Media & Marketing magazine's Asian Brand Marketing Effectiveness Awards in 2003.[5] A second ad, featuring clips of late actor Denholm Elliott, digitally altered so he was drinking Carabao from a trough, was less successful.
