Adverts that drive you mad

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....???
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.

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

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!
