Worst TV adverts of the moment

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

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.

> Apparently there's different versions of this particular monstrosity

i've seen 3 different comedians. think i complained about it upthread (comedy doesn't bear repeated watches)

GET READY FOR BREXIT.

This one is just disturbing...

As you say..

Those comedy ones are probably the best of that type of ad (remember the "Smug Google" one?) but twice each (tops) is enough.

we are in a very poor time for adverts

the only one I've seen recently that I quite liked was for...that new innocent smoothies blue drink. that's what i've sunk to

mind you it is quite a nice drink ngl

oh, it looks like you're on the phone but then the scenery pulls back and you're there in person. cool effect.

oh, it looks like you've on the ipod but then the scenery pulls back and you're there in person. ok, we've seen that before.

oh, it looks like you've on the laptop but then the scenery pulls back and you're there in person. zzzz.

I really wanna punch Drew from the Aldi advert in the nuts

lots of companies pushing hallowe'en tat this year.

I've started thinking the grumpy teen on the right in the Robert Webb advert for Now TV is how Laura Pidcock looks in the shadow cabinet.

Every time the Gucci advert that uses In Every Dream Home A Heartache starts up, I laugh. Did they never listen to the lyrics?

there's a local artist - who is disabled and on income assistance - who gucci contacted about doing something with, they had some back and forth and then they then cut contact (without saying they were doing so). shortly afterwards they've got someone else to just rip off her work completely and she hasn't seen a cent. so fuck gucci basically

the kid in the Mr Kipling advert looks like a motherfucker with some dark secrets

Holy fucking shit lads

the advert in question is one of two that C4 are using (the other one is some optical thing) that completely mangles English into something nobody could use

that video is incredible though, the shot they use when she says 'the masses'!!

i searched for it after seeing the actual advert this morning and being mind blown by the acting choices especially shivering beardo

This sort of thing will happen if you employ a 12 year old as your Marketing Manager.
