The Ariel pods and with the gob****es singing.

Every single perfume/aftershave/eau de toilette ad

Unadulterated tripe

It's a competition between themselves to have the most ridiculous one..

They fell a long way after this song.

That bloody Peloton ad where the happy, sweatless, mock cyclists/stretchers/body punishers sing the one song. Feck right off.

Archeron

Owen Wilson with a guitar selling sofas. Boooooo!!

No, I'm not getting how it's riffing on ASMR videos. Can you explain?

At least the Ariel song is original I guess.

Maybe that's why they voted for Brexit. Germans stealing their pre-prepared frozen foods for Irish Mammies

The Lotto ads are awful. The concepts behind them are so unfunny and lazy. Each new one seems worse than the one before.

Lotto need to hire a new ad agency

the purple tin

Sports Direct.
Lots of fast cuts, really loud and dissonant.
The kind of ad that bombards the senses and stresses you out.

That Idris Elba Sky Cinema ad has been completely hammered into my head. I'm even remembering some of the lines from last years ad.

Idris Elba is such a hack. He'll do any old crap if you pay him enough.

theguzman

Smitweeks for a smithwicks, I really want to strangle whatever gob****e created this, most annoying repetitive ad since Addresspal baby crying and Crazyfrog. Thanks to shoppys woke type ad's I most certainly will never consider them for their dodgy phones either.

The Kia Niro ad with Robert De Niro.

They must have spent 99.9% of the budget on his fee and 0.1% on making the ad. I don't know what's worse. The crap ad or the fact De Niro agreed to do it. He's hardly at Idris Elba levels of desperation.

I dunno about the desperation, but I do know that the likes of Spielberg, Kevin Bacon and many others (probably including DeNiro) were hit by the Bernie Madoff thing years back.

It's why they're doing adverts, and so many absolutely awful movies.

Their pensions were wiped out.

Did a search and didn't find anything about his fortune getting wiped. Current net worth of €500 million. The only reason I could think he'd sign up for something so woeful is that he lost a bet

Spielberg had a few charities that he had to shut down because he lost money with Madoff.

DeNiro was hit by a scam too. Couple of millions, easily. Possibly hundreds of millions.

It's why you see DeNiro so disinterested in so many films-he thought he'd be able to quit by now.

Harvey Keitel as well, that's why he did those crap ads from a few years back as Wolf from Pulp Fiction (cant remember what the ads were for)

Direct Line. Where in one of the adverts, his co-star was the nun from Derry Girls.

Too tired to find the original, but it got nominated for awards.

Direct line have done adverts with Bumblebee from Transformers, and Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles since then.

thecretinhop

the new three ad with a mobile phone is the worst piece of sjt ad I have ever seen. its so fk bad

oneweb

"Oww di perfong"

All the perfume ads (as mentioned before). Just call it a scent or fragrance or even per-FYUME instead of feckin' mangling the proper French pronunciation |>_<|

He's worried that Santa won't deliver presents, because they'll be at granny's.

The only reason he didn't want to stay at Granny's was just that he didn't want to be away from his own home for Christmas and Santa Claus's visit. But after a while he was happy at her house and in her company, and presumably his new letter to Santa Claus which he posted in the fireplace, was that she would move in with the family.


It seems to be an Irish ad rather than an edited version of a British ad. The car has a D number plate, although the envelope for Santa Claus had a British address.

I didn't get that either the first 19 times I saw it.

There's a trailer for Roald and Beatrix on sky. I loved both their books as a kid but there's a bit where Dawn French dangles a dead mouse in front of him. Its a bit much for television in the afternoon and for whats described as a kids movie.

What next? Jemima Puddleduck getting filleted?

I was wrong. I finally got to see a higher resolution version of the ad and the two on the left of the table seem to be some sort of carrot grandparents. I think.
