Even more adverts you despise

Yeah it’s fairly obvious what the general message of it is too, they’re eyeing the phones the whole time. It’s just a bit overdone but I’ve no idea where anyone is getting lesbians from.

Was the woman at the end looking through the coin operated binoculars in something else? She’s a very familiar.

There is a man dress as a dolphin clearly they are lesbians in lesbos and the other more attractive looking straight woman is look disappointingly at a dolphin instead of a woman! At the end of the day all women are lesbians they just haven't realized it yet.

It's all there.....just read between the lines.

I think some of these folks think the adverts are 'clever' or abstract. I remember Guinness made some 'what the hell was that?' adverts in the past.
I know a teacher told us, the class, one time that some of these adverts are deliberately designed to annoy you.

The reason being, the one's that annoy the s**t out of you stay in your brain. It's like when you have One of those days where everything goes to crap.

There's probably more than something in that. If you think about it, the worst thing you can be is the bland ad that no-one can remember. Mind you, I think they are too clever at times with the annoying adds. Half the time I can't remember what it is they're flogging.

Thought the same thing, maybe it just shows what you have to do these days to get a mortgage!

yeah its bizarre, and then the banker at the end in slow motion with his cheesy grin looking at the couple hugging. Also it annoys me that in the first ad when she is jogging its a red brick house they're buying but its not the same house the banker calls around to in the sequel ad

Stupid McDonald's ad where the mother gives her car to her young son. I hate it because

Just saw that. It took me a minute to realise that the free car the kid got was something he had to endure.

And I’ve just noticed that at the start of the ad the car is reversed into the drive as it should be. How did the car flip around?
Don’t know why Volvo, of all companies, appear to be endorsing a very dangerous practice.

The osteoporosis infomercial annoys me. I know it's well intentioned, but still annoying.

The dubbing is brutal. Possibly worse than the Christmas one with the kid playing reindeers.

That one will be due another run in the next few weeks. Can't wait to put my foot through the tv.

I wanted to hate the lifebuoy advert (for the new handsoap).... but I can't, it's got this retro animation that's got so much charm.

screamer

The radio ads for virgin broadband speed, some gob****e on a piano and some sausage tying butcher and the voice over guy taking the absolute p:ss out of them, makes my ears bleed.
TBH I’d have the world record for speed of changing the radio station because of it!

How many more songs from my teenage years is it possible for them to mangle. It's ridiculous.

There is an English ad for Brexit. Basically telling business owners that things will change after the 1st of Jan.
Almost everyone in it comes across as surly and mildly patronising, like the viewer is a moron and they have to explain it really simply.
One of them says 'I'll give you a moment to jot that down, first of Jan' :rolleyes:
Yeah I think i can remember New Years day without writing it down thanks, ya muppet.

Is it just me or is that McDonalds advert just deliberately cynically trying to pay some kind of cringy homage to Normal People and Connell/Paul Mescal ?

Casting a character as an awkward, gormless goofy college fresher type who awkwardly answers his mother's questions in one or two syllables .. and then finds sudden joy in life by buying a drive through takeaway and then cruising his neighbourhood blaring "all da hitz" on the car radio ?

I cannot help imagine that the brief for this advert sought a Connell lookalike and a kind of doting mother and full of awkward teenage angst and brutally inarticulate vibe - dull grey/dodgy haircut,etc.

The Irish (radio) one is some tennis themed thing with crowds cheering. There's not much to fcukin cheer about really.

That banker reminds me of littlefinger from game of thrones. He is just so creepy and looks like he is up to something.

The add for Tesco mobile has to be the most stupid one I ever saw two girls sitting on a bench on an Island cringy looking at each other and being watched through binoculars by another.

How do these get passed it's rubbish

Argh! McDonald's dubbing Irish accents over English accents is so pointless and irritating when I've already seen it loads of times on UK TV

Just saw this a minute after reading your post.

Remarkable ad. If you and your partner are sufficiently imbecilic that you wouldn't think of having one or other of you guide a car with your children into it onto a road that trucks fly down, then this is the car for you.

But really, neither of you should have a licence.

They change the car registrations to Dublin ones and the change in the car to euros but forget 20 mph signs and the red Post boxes!

The ad with some english comedian standing in front of her mirror and putting on moisturiser thet she got for free while waffling away.
'Someone said my skin looks nice, she gets to stay in the inner circle, haw haw'.

The viewer is a moron. If Brexit had been explained to them really simply in the first place then they wouldn't be in this mess!

100% going for that vibe alright. Ironically Paul Mescal came to prominence in an ad himself, the Denny "Bali ........haunis" ad. Which wasn't actually the worst.
