Plus he's upside down and acting annoyingly giddy over hotel offers/prices! Think the actor looks a bit like the soccer commentator for Talksport, Sam Matterface
(that is his name)

That guy doesn't look 'real'.

He's like a human construct of a doll...

Kinda creepy.

Just saw the ad for Mrs Browns boys the movie.....Fcukin hell, how anyone watches that shíte is beyond me.

The stupid ad for Flora Gold, which is apparently a blend of butter and Flora..which sounds disgusting, by the way.

There's a Dad preparing a roast chicken, finds Flora Gold in the fridge and is surprised...what so he didn't notice it was there BEFORE?!

He turns the volume up on the radio to dance moronically to "Gold" by Spandau Ballet, then proceeds to ruin a perfectly healthy bowl of carrots by dousing them in horribly oily Flora Gold, then spreads a chunk of the stuff the wrong way round on a baguette.

He's singing along and then stops mid "ahh" when his family arrive home, giggling and taking photos of him with their phones.

He says "Just don't put it on Youtube" and they all giggle.
Seriously WHO comes up with these scripts?!!!

The Haribo ad with the three apparently developmentally challenged adults discussing their candy in the cinema

Does anyone know the name of that actress and is it the same one as the girl off the Barry's tea ad about a year ago or even the Axa red line ad at the moment? Where do I find these things out?

Thanks ;-)

The very thought of a Mrs Brown movie makes me cringe so hard that I retract into a huddled mess.

The trailer being shown in the cinemas is torture on it's own.

A prominent doctor,a cancer specialist in fact, told me that margarine causes cancer and to keep it away from a child in our care who had leukemia. I have to laugh when I see how that crap is marketed as being somehow ''healthy'' as though its obligatory to consume it. ''Flora'' mini marathon's title makes me chuckle but I despise the way they were handing out Flora samples and ''healthy crisps'' ... healthy you what now ??? Crisps are never healthy in the way they suggest. They are like pushers, pushing something bad for you all the time. It's like pushing meth instead of crack. Absolute disingenous tosh.

That's a bold statement to make-got a link to an article that says that?

its not difficult to find dozens of articles denouncing margarine as chemical junk....comparing extremely unfavorably to butter. Never mind that anyway as you can research that yourself and make your own mind up ... you can take or leave my word that a top European cancer specialist who treated a little boy with leukemia I was extremely close to told us to avoid Margarine like the plague for a lot of reasons.

ivytwine

Whether or not it causes cancer, that is a bold claim to make, no doubt it's full of chemicals. Won't touch margarine or sweetener. A little bit of sugar or butter a. tastes nicer and b. is natural.

The moneysupermarket advert with snoop dog, their ads used to to be genuinely funny but now they're getting weirder and weirder

I think someone's mentioned it already: the Ladbrokes Life, with Generous John who "gets 'em in when he wins", and all the other gambling mugs losing their shirt every day.

There's something almost... Orwellian about it. I can't put my finger on it. It's like they're telling you: "this is fuun... this is how to behaaaave... you are a mad geeeezaaahh... bet with uuuuusss..."

Horrible brainwashing. :mad:

Yes, agree with you about the Orwellian aspect, there's a lot of subliminal quick shots of wads of cash being waved at the camera before it cuts to shots of people laughing and drinking pints aswell. I thought glorifying gambling was supposed to be illegal, isnt there some law about associating drink/drugs/gambling with financial or sexual success?

I literally cant look away when it comes on, its so repulsive you just have to watch it.

I don't know about gambling - I thought that was more to do with alcohol, but I'm no expert.

The sooner we wake up and realise that gambling is as pernicious in its own way as smoking is, and take action, the better.

I'm not for banning the activity, because like drugs, it would just go underground. However an advertising ban, online/mobile gambling ban, plain shopfronts, a problem gambler's register, etc. would all be things I would do if I were in government.

In the same way as they are going to put pictures of diseased lungs and arteries on cigarette packets, they should put pictures of empty wallets, empty fridges, shivering children and angry wives on the back of betting dockets!

How did TV get this goooooooooooooood?

Everytime I watch a YouTube Video

Toto Wolfcastle

Lidl ad about how simple shopping in Lidl is and how other supermarkets blind people with science. I don't know where she used to shop, but science wouldn't be my strong point and I don't think I've ever been blinded by it in Dunnes or Tesco.

The betting shop flys would never leave then, take one look at the picture and put everything they own on a 500-1 shot in the hope of running away forever.

Aww I love that ad

Any ad that has the "silly man doing silly things while smug woman rolls her eyes" stereotype.

It's a trend i've noticed recently and it's doing my head in.

The problem with Dunnes or Tesco is the way prices yoyo all the time trying to pressurize you always into buying it now at ''half price'' which is never really half price at all because if u bought it the other times you would be buying at twice the price and be a fool. Many times they have the ''value'' or ''customer favorite'' label on these items and they will have risen the price of the thing to make it more expensive than somewhere else. similarly they claim to make a reduction in price but thats only after having raised it recently. They are liars in my opinion.
I dont want to spend extra time or mental energy while shopping with a calculator out. Its stressful and time consuming enough as it is. Aldi and Lidl dont do that and it's actually refreshing. I just fill my trolley and I am gone. Thats what I want.

That's not blinding people with science though. And I've never had any issues like that in Tesco or Dunnes.

New Birdseye add.

Not only is it one of those annoying "friendly family banter" adds that are so fake its cringe worthy, but one of the feckin girls at the table takes a picture of the dinner to put up on social media!! For the love of god would ya stop!!

Also hate banking adds because they act like they give two s*its about you or your plans when in reality they couldnt give a toss. Ulster Bank one with the "Yes Yes Yes " slogan is up there with the worst of them...
