they've changed the most recent verisure tv ad. now ends with 'should i get one?' 'do it!' where it used to be a more wistful 'i should get one...'

Thorvald, Wild’s polar bear hero, discovers his new girlfriend Sarah has a ‘climate change kink’ when he walks in on her watching a film about melting ice caps and having a moment of self love. He’s taken aback but, having promised not to kink shame, Thorvald indulges Sarah by listening to her struggles about doing the right thing for the planet, from sometimes leaving the tap running while she cleans her teeth, to not rinsing her recycling and even, eating the occasional out-of-season strawberry. He even gets into it himself, with some single-use plastic-related role play.

all tv ads for subscription services that are aired on terrestrial tv can get in the sea, but especially the current paramount / coffee delivery one.
the woman hiding in the wigwam in the life insurance advert who gives her age as "50" has obviously had a hard life because she looks at least 10 years older than that.

There's an Irish ad about road tolls that I only see when I'm watching stuff on All 4, and I genuinely can't understand what's happening in it, except that it makes paying your toll through the app seem incredibly complicated and scary, which is probably not the intention.Oh, it's also really sexist, but that's a given.

there's one where a young woman and her grandmother are talking over zoom, the granddaughter just passed a job interview and is being congratulated by the grandmother, the granddaughter says something about "it must run in the family!" But the grandmother has a Welsh accent and the granddaughter has a Polish accent, so I'm just left wondering what history this family have, her son/daughter must have moved to Poland in the very early 90s and settled down there? But they seem too close for that. Then at the end of the advert they just sit there grinning silently at the camera for 10 seconds.I have seen this 100+ times on TV and pre-roll on YouTube and cannot remember what it is advertising.

the pet charity adverts, someone has a strange sense of humour. there's a cat with one eye, they called it odin. there's another that was found inside a wall and they've called that one mccavity.

Meerkats and Go Compare guy have not only outstayed their welcome, but the newer ads are actually worse. Like when meerkat Sergei has the blue cyborg eye thingy coz he's now AUTO Sergei, or when the Go Compare singer is talking to the actual tenor who plays him, and/or he's dressed up as a woman who is supposedly his wife.

gambling adverts now have been regulated to the point that they look like anti-gambling PSAs, reminds me of the glossy magazine cigarette ads in the 90s where it was just an artsy photo with the colours of the brand and a huge anti-smoking notice underneath

Actually, while I’m here, the most cursed repeat ads on BTSport when they’re looping the same five ads over and over again to block out American ads:Mason Mount spot/any football team adI can’t find this online which is good as I think it edges me nearer to a brain aneurysm. MM/or the team/player who’s the subject taps the screen, talks directly to the viewer while being filmed from below, the cutting is fast to disguise the fact that it looks like someone’s kid knocked it up. Generic music too.Pixel 7 adI have an iPhone. I’m not going to change that any time soon.McDelivery adsIt’s amazing how much you can grow to hate I Think We’re Alone Now and Hungry Eyes.ads for the channel I’m already watchingA whole atrocity of their own!
