tv/radio ads that really grate

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

US Pharma adverts.

I'm thinking things like psoriasis treatment (Osempic/Otezla, etc).

"Look, I can grate cheese without having to worry about my flaky skin dropping in the bowl"...

Almost everyone has the disclaimer including "Side effects may include death..."

That's one big side effect of you ask me?

Or "Do not take if you are allergic to...".

How would you know?

You can usually guess what drug it is by the actor in the scene at the opening.

Old man - Heart
Young woman - skin
Middle aged women - bladder control

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Adverts that give fictional character names to jobbing actors.

This is Paula, can you go on mute Paula, oh Paula your broadband is knackered, the interns got your job Paula, only joking. Go get them Paula!

You've just proved that such a jingle works.

I was with my kids in the car last week and we saw a 'cloudy to clear' van. Right on cue we all burst into a joyous rendition of the C2C anthem :0

Don't know if you ever watch TV in the Daytime, every other advert is for funeral plans...

The type of ads on YouTube nowadays seem to be pretty poor. Typically it's some really untrustworthy looking guy who pleads to you to not turn off this ad, or threatens you to go ahead and skip this ad if you really want to walk away from the chance to get rich.

Not watched a live tv ad since Christmas I think. Record most things and fast forward through the ads, and during football it's beer and bog break, especially rather than listen to the expert pundits come out with insightful stuff like "city are not winning because they haven't scored, if they want to win they'll have to find a way to score."
