Adverts that drive you mad

[Blue Steel]

The latest compare the market one, set to the Shania Twain song.

This. It’s fucking horrendous. They can shove their cinnamon swirls where the sun doesn’t shine.

 

[Winchester]

That advert where they are spraying fabreeze and some1 sniffs the guy's foot to make sure his socks are still fresh
FREAK!

 

[Tuearts right boot]

As above.....That whooosh ad adverting some nice smelly stuff....no one sniffs someone elses arm pits at the bus stop and grins like a cheshire cat, no one sniffs someones socks in a shop and grins like a cheshire cat. What do you take us for Proctor and Gamble or who ever....???

"Boomerang smells".

I.e. You didn’t wash properly, either your clothes or armpits.

It’s annoying because the first person makes a stupid phrase up, explains it to the rest of us, then the next dickhead “yep, boomerang smell” as if it’s an actual thing.

There's a few like that where they show people breathing in the smell, as if deeply inhaling chemicals is good for you.

That charity one for the donkeys walking with broken and bent ankles. Have to turn it off or look away.

Oh and any ad that trys too hard to fill its diversity quota.

Some of the charity ads are hard to watch……..as for your last point - that must be most of them ! Some are unintentionally hilarious.

The new KFC ad, annoying as

 

[Double R]

Maccie's? McD's? Maccy D's? Maccas? Mickey D's? Donnies? McDizzles, what do you call it?

McDonalds you childish twat.

 

[Lavinda Past]

The new Head and Shoulders 'olympics' ad.. Seen it once and it's already getting on my nerves.

By 'any ad', you mean every fucking one! It should go without saying that racial diversity within families is a positive thing (in fact, the more the better in my view) but why is practically every single couple in the weird parallel universe of advertising portrayed as mixed race? If TV ads are a form of artistic expression - as most self-obsessed wankers in advertising and marketing would have us believe - shouldn't art reflect life? Or might it just be virtue signalling by cynical organisations only interested in their bottom line?

It's not even virtue signalling, it's fear of being tagged as racist.

Those Tesco club card "I've got the power!" clusterfucks.

 

[Winchester]

That lot who are in various beds in a field
The duvets washed in Fabreeze ir something
And refusing to get up
Ffs

Agree 100%! Makes me want to put my foot through the screen every time.

I would argue it's a combination of both this and virtue signalling, particularly as they're obvious bedfellows. You know the world's gone fucking nuts when you buy a packet of cat treats and see a note on the side declaring the manufacturer's support for Pride!

 

[Nethermoor]

Any of the new dominos adverts piss me off

 

[AirbagsOptionalTheReturn]

Adidas Ad with "Hey Jude" soundtrack and the Bellend as the centre piece of the ad

You never see mixed British/Polish or Scandinavian couples.....

That bloody Andrex advert were Ian Beale dances across the to the taps.
