Worst TV adverts of the moment

Oh it's been mentioned

I hate everything about it. Expensive exercise bike and app subscription so that twats in a certain wage bracket can look like porn superheroes or whatever it's supposed to be. Go for a fucking run round the park. You smashed it! Awesome work guys, dress down/beer fridge Fridays!

And it's all about putting in the work at home to be one up on the next schmoe isn't it. The idea of free time as an opportunity to make yourself fit and competitive, stitched into our normal so seamlessly there's an app for it

does anybody else see those adverts for HelloFresh and Gousto and their ilk and think "fuck me how much money do some people earn?"

on an unrelated note I hope Kevin Bacon dies soon

watching things recorded around Christmas and I'm surprised the m&s jerky jumpers thing never got mentioned here. it's in every ad break.

i liked the dancers :D

That godawful Gumtree "poem" really grinds my gears

this new campaign for the Clear travel system has one of the stupidest and most annoying slogans I've seen in a good long time. https://www.thedrum.com/creative-works/project/red-antler-clear-you-get-you-places

"You Get You Places" - what? You pays your money and you gets you places.

a four star hotel with a pool for this price?

(didn't there used to like 100 different trivago adverts? why did they settle on this one to replay repeatedly?)

Lad in a launderette with a gretsch guitar.

Seen it three times this morning!!

(oh, and I own the same guitar, it doesn't sound like that, unpluggedin)

Nothing wrong with the advert per se but I suspect this ad campaign might need to be pulled.

I'm very sorry but I kind of want to batter the little twat off the British Heart Foundation adverts

So many horribly inappropriate TV ads still running, it's pretty funny.

Yes, some grim laughs to be had.

saw an ad for a dramatisation of the Coughing Colonel incident on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, seemed singularly ill-judged at the moment

God yeah I saw that trailer and didn't think, looool

There's a Now TV ad that starts something like "Sue feels locked in by her current TV package" accompanied by shot of a woman binge watching in a darkened living room

Middleton's mobility scooter advert just ended with the line "something tells me I'll be spending a lot more time outdoors from now on"

What kind of fuckwitted kid would you have to be to fall for that "eat them to defeat them" line?

That 94 second advert grates on me

I saw an advert for Tampax this morning, the tagline of which was - somewhat unbelievably - "get 'em up there, girls!"

Oh fuck that twat Tomlinson has done a covid McCains advert

Middleton's mobility scooter advert just ended with the line "something tells me I'll be spending a lot more time outdoors from now on"

Still running... the advert and, one would hope, the scooter.

Plus the Foxy bingo ads et al where they all get together in parks, and suchlike.

Well I reached the "wishing violent painful death on everybody responsible for rona-based adverts" stage pretty quickly

Yes, banks and supermarkets all seem to have replaced their adverts with zoom calls.

Pg tips as well. Fucking vertical video mess.

That and the national lottery ad in the same break.

wasn't even thinking of the stylistic cliches but yes ugggggh already

kevin bacon's doing it now

nationwide doubling down with lockdown adverts featuring terrible poems

I'm guessing they all had prebooked the ad slots, and have run round (within the house obv) filming replacement ads for the "Good vibes, sunshine and so forth" substituting the sober concern ones.

Except for bingo sites doing the CARRY ON PLAYING THIS AT Home sell, with the split second "When you run out of money, stop playing" frame with a website in little writing..

Can't believe Cadburys are still trying to sell that dark milk shit

Trevor MacDonald doing that advert for television is excruciating

nationwide doubling down with lockdown adverts featuring terrible poems

nnngh didn't manage to hit mute early enough and accidentally heard some of this

Jake from State farm is b-b-black now??? Drake from State farm?????? excuse me, no. this is ridiculous. change a character beloved by millions for years for no reason other than wokeness. what is this world coming to

that fucking apple phone unboxing advert

once again featuring yr man from skint and demoralised i think

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDs840DmESs

Every single charity lottery advert is cunts all the way down

The trevento (wine?) bumper ads featuring 8 men boasting around a pub table about how they went skiing once and didn't die, or how the big rugby man scared them but they survived have now been updated to include some women spouting crap too, along the lines of how yoga can be hard, or something.

> once again featuring yr man from skint and demoralised i think

the ones i keep seeing are pregnant woman talking about how they are coping ok and the 'we're getting married in 6 months regardless' and the woman apologising to future-self for all the lockdown comfort eating.

(may not all be nationwide adverts, they all look the same, increasingly so)

On the Queen soundtracked NHS one there are two women standing about 3' apart but in their own gardens so that's fine obviously.

there are actual food-banks shown on some of those government/NHS Coronavirus public information films, un-fucking-believable

watching something taped before christmas and in one ad break i've just had

tesco club card plus casablanca ad
the coca cola tongue ad
amazon warehouse 'donna's cakes!' ad

The advert for thrush medicine where she winks like she's flirting with a yeast infection.

that is a mindfuckingly camp advert

There is a lynx ad where a bloke back in time, girl, lockers, hyperspace, girl sprays both of them and they go off together, all that, fine.

For some reason there's a squirrel doing some dance right at the end near a can of lynx. Only, a previous version had the squirrel dancing with the can.

Lets just say, it didn't look like he was dancing...

Lloyds Fucking Bank at it again

Kind of amazing that advertisers still think using CGI to make it appear animals or, worse, babies, can talk is a good idea. I mean, "Babe" was 25 years ago and the technology looks cheaper and less convincing now than it did then. Also, am I imagining it, or was this a gimmick that took off for a while, then disappeared, and has only started being used again in the last few years?

I hope Jamie Oliver dies of Rona soon

"Jonny Fluffypunk" get tae fuck
