Worst TV adverts of the moment

no. you're right, 72%. you're also right about that being a bag of shit.

Skoda landfill indie rock guys singing about how they "gotta be me"; mimsy f-ing McDonalds advert with that horrible Innocent Smoothie singing

It isn't easy talking to your family about killing bankers

it's sad those actors can't talk about money

What exactly are they supposed to be talking about?

"Mam can you lend us a tenner?"

"Nah fuck off I can't talk about money"

McDonald's coffee adverts right now "we don't need to [some gimmick] to sell you our coffee" No, you have a captive audience for your fucking horrible coffee, nobody is choosing to go there for a coffee when other options exist.

I've thought about a separate thread for that whole world of "we hate trendy advertising language" adverts produced by, er, advertising agencies

xxp "sorry about that time I embezzled the family's saving to spend on slot machines, booze and crack cocaine"

xp this should do nicely "croissant-munching, latte-sipping": instances of misconceived media-class self-loathing ITT

Yeah good shout

> "we don't need to [some gimmick] to sell you our coffee"

and yet they trot through half a dozen during said ad, whilst telling us they wouldn't ever.

the coca cola tongue advert. who signed that off?

and i forget the advert but it tickles me how keen that one kid is on having a new driveway.

"Good girl Phoebe"

Go Away!

I'm confused because obviously the RAF are dead woke now but they're still murderous cunts

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

i saw this again yesterday and they've changed it. at least they've changed the audio - she still mouths the above but different words come out.

Yeah ever time I see that cut I think of this thread

Oral B is Crest elsewhere. I think they made Crest into Oral B in the UK because Crest is not a very highly regarded brand here.

I haven't seen the ad in question but if a Crest ad was made outside of the UK then it makes sense that it might be overdubbed.

An Oral B ad, rather.

We're usually in tuned to ads where the audio has been redubbed from a different accented English, I didn't get any hint of that from the oral b ad.

I did see they added a "Hello, I'm a dentist, and I use this toothbrush too" addition.

How are we only just talking about the oral b ads that turn up twice in every single ad break on UK telly in the past two years? I've seen these women more than my closest friends and family

i mentioned it 5 months ago and brought it back up again yesterday because i'd noticed they'd messed around with it somehow and removed the offending line

oh right, carry on

For some reason the dentists in (these?) toothpaste adverts often seem to be Irish, or have I imagined that?

oral b toothpaste is good, i haven't seen the ad my dentist told me to use it

they're all shills for Big Toothpaste

the spookiest toothpaste related person is that woman with the unnaturally white teeth and white hair who i'm sure i saw on the bridge in one of the star trek reboot films.

stand-up comedy *and* financial advice? Nationwide, you are really spoiling us

^ this. and they get worse with repetition.

the paxman ad where he asks "why are politicians so ________ ?" is grinding my gears

bcz you and yr pals do yr job badly jeremy

i guess it's a trailer more than an ad

(actual thing is on ch5 tonight at 9)

good that means i can watch law and order reruns from tomorrow without seeing it again

Horrific double-length little fingers to advertise chocolate biscuits, sure why not.

"hi I'm Harry Kreddknapp and I'm an enormous cunt"

Ant & Dec: HOLD US PINTS

Was going to complain about that "is it Monday? Because it feels like a Thursday" bollocks but ledge already has. (Only noticed the fingers last night - I tend to look away during the adverts so i hear them more than see them)

Graham is still climbing those stairs.

You know you've been sat in front of daytime TV too long when you start seriously worrying about how your family will pay for the cost of your funeral

And have stilted and badly acted conversations about it to boot.

Badly stilted and acted conversations?

Yes.

But there's nothing badly stilted about the rising cost of funerals. Did you know the average funeral can cost over £4000 pind?

The deliveroo one though? With the woman who comes across like Jess Phillips.

trying to picture it, dunno if i've somehow missed that one. if it's not Smithsonian, PBS or Yesterday there's a good chance

took me fucking forever to find
https://youtu.be/UG2JEURpGkQ

no i haven't seen that thank god, tbf if it was Jess P she'd have had to pretend to be really angry at her KFC chips being cold or something

that's another ad that i've heard but never seen (until now)

the Twirl girl

Why so aggressive, Kevin?

Also, it's probably the new iPhone and not the avocados that means you can't afford a mortgage.

I feel like there's a bumper crop of terrible adverts at the moment. Apparently there's different versions of this particular monstrosity, byut thankfully this is the only one I've seen.

Nationwide are the patron saint of shit adverts.

Ant and Dec advert for Santander also terrible - I hate those cunts anyway but nonetheless.
