Adverts that drive you mad

And anyone who posts gifs needs a boot up the arse.




What?

Once upon a time it was only snaps of our Gail that would have you in the dog house.

Apologies if already said but that stupid “ Rock Star” series of adverts.

Maybe it’s a thing in America but it makes no sense showing them in this country because nobody ever calls anybody a rockstar in that context. So the whole concept of the advert is redundant here.

Also, it’s a shit advert. Because despite seeing them hundreds of times, I’ve just this moment realised that I’ve still no idea what they’re actually advertising.

That Chase Bank bloke in a pub:

"Ow many millions?"

Yeah, he's a proper busy ****, needs to shut up and eat his pie.

I wish I had your badinage.

Crepe ones available at most chemists. :-)

Not necessarily an advert which drove me mad but I remember in the late sixties/early seventies there was an advert for a WW2 magazine which had the opening line“Blitzkreig, what a war you missed”
On balance I think I’m glad that I did!

That fooking Haribo advert...'we are the police'. Additionally I suspect it is representative.

 

[ShorehamCitizen]

That Bold one that parodies the Spandau Ballet song "Gold".

Anything advertising a car. "55,000 apr on the road!", the voiceover goes while we hear royalty free music pumped out.

Yadda, Yadda, Yadda, whatever..... it's just a metal box on wheels to take you on the road from A to B!.

Been seeing one recently from BT and EE with someone working on a train and the Microsoft Teams sounds going off to show they're working hard. Chat messages, phone calls...

Yet I am sure that anyone who actually works with Teams has grown to absolutely loathe those sounds. Literally makes me recoil as I think "what needy git needs something now?" Not sure they thought that one through.

The aldi Christmas advert. Who knew they were American.
