Worst TV adverts of the moment

Eva Green cut it out with the edgelord shit

real people talking about M&S food, fuck the lot of yiz

Chewing gum Tom looks like 'they're gonna taste great!' kid

nothing impresses prospective in-laws more than a box of Thornton's while you cosplay being a cross-channel ferry steward

nope I'm still not swayed to buy a Facebook camera and set it up in my home, A for effort though

That peloton app, if the advert is anything to go by, must have a high rate of masturbators, and what interests me is the company deals with that

How*

Is it James Nesbitt doing the voice overs for BT like he's being held at gunpoint?

that sandcastle bloke is going to give me nightmares.

also, maxine peake, how exactly does a smart meter save me energy?

oh man the smart meter propaganda machine, so transparent

first time i saw that sand man i got M.R. James vibes

If I really want to save energy, Maxine, the best option would be to keep my old dumb meter and link the fucker out with some 4mm twin and then viola! free energy.

one of those smart meter adverts had The Jellies' "Jive Baby On A Saturday Night" on it!

I've gone hardcore militant against smart meters since this doorstepping prick informed me I'd be forced to pay for the install if I didn't opt for it now. I told him my meter was linked out, there was a mini cannabis factory under the stairs and fuck off and die cunt!

smart meter propaganda seems to be based on two contradictory premises:

1. when using a conventional meter you are being charged in a way that is inaccurate, tending towards overcharging.

2. we, a company looking to make money from you, wants to spend money installing a meter that will charge you less out of a sense of fairness

It's because now, the supply of energy is a competitive market. So, they would prefer you give *them* a reduced amount of money rather than log in to some other supplier.

> when using a conventional meter you are being charged in a way that is inaccurate

this is only because they read the meters once a year now, the legal minimum, rather than every 3 months like they used to.

they've just sent me a leaflet saying that they are changing my tarrif and i will be 34p better off every year. don't spend it all at once.

more worryingly, they have increased the standing charge and decreased the per-unit charge, which makes it harder for me to save money by decreasing usage, rendering the smart meter thing more ridiculous.

anyway, tv adverts...

Pretty fucked up the level of torture I daydream of inflicting on Greg from the Halifax.

The same thing happens where I am despite there not being competition

Samuel Adams commercial that's been running on youtube.

Fisherwoman hauling up her catch or something:
"It's got huge flay-vah...once it hits ya lips, ya know? Hah hah hah!"

I can't find it anywhere online except randomly ahead of youtube videos.

use ublock origin and you will soon forget that youtube even has ads

it's terrible in its own way but putting durex lube adverts in the middle of that Fantastic Beasts film on itv2 the other day probably caused a lot of awkward questions to be asked.

use ublock origin and you will soon forget that youtube even has ads

this doesn’t work if you’re sending youtubes to your TV from your phone

or just watching them on yr phone, I guess

lubeblock

"No time to read? Yeah right you thick bastard"

renault kadjar virtual ambassador

fucking British Airways

In no particular order:

That Australian lizard on the weflip adverts.

The small girl channeling Tina Turner.

I didn't know oral b even MADE a toothpaste.

Anything containing the term "equity release"

OTM to the first 4. I instantaneously tune out of adverts when I hear terms like "equity release".

I didn't know oral b even MADE a toothpaste

It's more her giant spit/lisp which turns it into pToothpTaspTe.

"peely peely!"

"The world has gone crazy about food"

It's like the copy was written by a neural network

Really satisfying daydream about smashing the Plusnet bloke in the face with a cricket bat

You'd do us proud if you did. They're like the 118 adverts, they doggedly persist in making them, year after year, although absolutely no-one likes them or is interested in them or remembers anything about them. Their straplines are so dull the only reason you remember them at all is because you've fucking heard them a million times.

Hilarious sex voices on supermarket food adverts, please fuck off

they appear to have got rid of the original voice-over woman and are having the cast do it themselves in a slightly ironic way.

the epitome of the ads that go on forever that nobody likes = go compare

also, that terrible "Graham, love" advert appears to have come back.

the epitome of the ads that go on forever that nobody likes = go compare

The Go Compare ads differ from 118 and Plusnet in that they're intensely and viscerally annoying, people hate them, 118 and Plusnet aren't that interesting. Go Compare ads (tragically) have entered the national consciousness, the 118 and Plusnet ads are just there endlessly - particularly true of former, which feel like they've been running for decades without making any particular impression on anyone.

They often make the impression on me that everybody involved in the advertising industry is a cunt

That's too easy though.

how come the UK gets its own pronunciation of Breyers?

I'm irrationally angry about the Stiehl advert that only seems to be on ITV channels with numbers higher than 2 after them. There's a slowed down section of a chainsaw and, unless I'm very much mistaken, the blade is on the wrong way round.

those Harvey Keitel ones where he intimidates punters into buying insurances products falls into the "never-ending, much hated campaign" category

They're running out of steam now but I liked the earlier ones.

is this real or has someone edited two separate ads together?

I'd like my followers to try and pinpoint the single most excruciatingly element of this 1987 Daily Mirror advert. There are a few things to choose from so it won't be easy. pic.twitter.com/OAXcsePAvQ

Oh sweet Jesus, I've just seen the G-Tech advert with the bloke from Worcester rapping on it.

Why does the new Anchor advert use the theme from Desmond's?
