Worst TV adverts of the moment

God the number of rubbish board games we got as kids that were nothing like the TV ads

Mouse Trap,christ

i saved up my pocket money for weeks for that load of shit

Sea Monkeys

it was a hard lesson in life seeing something that shone out like a diamond on the pages of Kays catalogue and then later taking in the horrible realisation that you've wasted months of time, hotly anticipating a piece of shit.

I will not interrupt my 4 hour video on a failed theme park to sign up for your fleet no matter how many times you try me.

Jenny Nicholson on Evermore, right?? Can't believe I watched (and enjoyed) all four hours of that.

dear Jason Donovan, when you say you hope you're knocking on my door next, you're saying it to everybody watching that advert, which kind of defeats the purpose of a lottery you fucking clown

Hi Dior, not sure still having a wife beater doing his sad rock and roll fantasy shit is a good look for your brand but it's your choice I guess

I’m so sick of seeing that cunt atm

Daisy daisy daisy daisy... stop fucking ruining Suicide!

oh, heard another inexplicable 80s song used by an advert - life is life

rip diego

Jesus, how much pickle is she putting on that sandwich?

and even after 100 viewings I'm not sure what the 3rd bloke on the current verisure advert says. "is it (something)?"

i'm guessing everyone involved in the nespresso advert is saving their best work for something else.

i didn't know you had dandruf?

it's 2023 and you've all been saying 'hyundai' wrong for years...

... and Škoda.

sorry to resurrect the memory of terrible Christmas ads, but Sainsburys using a cod-medieval cover version of Wheatus' "Teenage Dirtbag" was an interesting move

Jenny Nicholson on Evermore, right?? Can't believe I watched (and enjoyed) all four hours of that.

It was, yeah. Actually made me really excited about the idea of living nearby and following all the storylines, though 1) doesn't excuse the myriad health & safety/labour rights concerns and 2) clearly untenable for a casual visitor.

Bit late for this but that Virgin pride ad is some pandering shit. Zomg you mean the pilot is a woman????

Historically illiterate advert from these reliably (as clockwork) irritating cunts.

I would call this the first Christmas advert of the year, except they were actually showing this advert for Christmas 2023 before Christmas 2022. It's also a horrible advert.

Judi Dench FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF

morrisons trying to make easter dinner a thing. (it's like christmas dinner but with lamb and cheescake apparently)

Never heard of it.

google suggests that maybe it is a thing. jamie oliver has recipes, martha stewart has ideas. but it's never been a thing anywhere i've lived or eaten.

there have always been Easter meal promotions as long as i can remember

what i don't remember so much is every food advert using pathetic infantilising language featuring cuddly celebrity voices pouring on the sap

but surely such a storyteller...could only be a story himself??

I'm having an Easter Dinner but it's all just going to be chocolate.

^ this. the true meaning of easter.

Historically illiterate advert from these reliably (as clockwork) irritating cunts.

Glad I am not the only one annoyed by confused.com ads. Not just this one (which inventor of which clock? he used a sundial you FULE, etc etc) but the "why did we start keeping money in pigs?" one which ends with the pig vomming up the coins. It's coz cheap clay used for making money boxes was called "pygg" and eventually people took advantage of the pun to make them pig-shaped, BTW.

and the woman with the cactus for arms who wins the inflatable guitar?

the woman with the cactus for arms should probably not got out at all ever. Would make a good kids' book about celebrating difference, I guess. Cassandra's Cactus Arms.

I watch MLB on BTSport quite often and American erectile dysfunction ads occur every so often and this one showed up last night:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z694OneOac

Has that McDonald’s (?) slurping ad been mentioned yet, cos it’s disgusting

Not American afaik. Americans would be too prudish for an advert like that. There's a lot of Numan ads on TV in general, and they're all irritating.

that's a particularly stupid one as we all know Action Man hasn't got anything down there to become dysfunctional! Which was the topic of a much better Hamlet ad on a poster with Action Man in bed with Barbie, back when the tobacco ad ban had been announced and the industry was going hammer and tongs to push the boundaries / be as wacky as possible before the axe fell.

wonder what Gary Numan thinks about this product?

"EMMA LOOKS GREAT...I LOOK DREADFUL"

Roast shoulder of lamb is one of my favourite meals so I will take any excuse to eat it.

I was way into my 30s before I clocked that every shop was shut on Easter Sunday just like Christmas Day. "Easter Day" didn't used to be much of a big thing, apart from in church.

the downside of ridiculous amounts of hours spent watching golf every week and the demographic that suggests means that aside from betting ads, and the same trailer for whatever new show sky is pimping every single break( no I don't want to watch lily allen goes to Margate) is that I end up seeing roughly one hundred erectile dysfunction and hair loss ads per week.

SimpliSafe! There's a new player in the wooden acting security cam game

s that I end up seeing roughly one hundred erectile dysfunction and hair loss ads per week.

And because I bingewatch box sets on All 4 while knitting, I get bombarded with ads for pisspants. I really feel that if you are incontinent, you shouldn't sit on people's shoulders at a festival, even if you are wearing absorbent pants. And I certainly shouldn't have to ever think about you doing it.

(Unless you are an actual baby. That is acceptable.)

the advert I've seen about a dozen times now, about the autistic girl struggling with external stimuli, is, it turns out, for washing powder

I've been barraged by this Temu ad while playing cheesy phone games recently.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgNuwb9lpeg

I like it
*Yup!*
It’s mine
The prices blow my mind
*Cha-ching!*
I feel so rich
*Ooh yah!*
I feel like a billionaire

Most chilling part is when the little girl opens the Temu box and there is a Temu employee/oompaloompa grinning up at her.

Yup.

who is gig hadid and why does she think pasta and diet coke is such a treat?

(gigi)

There's nothing particularly wrong with this advert beyond the fact that the male character looks like the late England football manager, Graham Taylor.

two different adverts (bank, squash) using the same alicia keys song. ick.

i see the 4 people in a cafe upsetting the 5-obsessed clientele far too often. i'm sure it means something to someone.

this new Argos advert is bad trip fucked up

Rob Quartermain, head of marketing campaigns, Argos said: “We can’t wait for the nation to fall in love with Connie and Trevor as they bring the assortment of products we offer to life, using premium brands as well as our iconic Habitat range.”

Toby Allen, ECD, The&Partnership said: “One of the nation’s best loved retailers sells the grown-up stuff too. Who better to deliver that message than the toys themselves? A savvy doll and a lovable dinosaur are the new faces of Argos, showing a new side to what it sells.”
