tv/radio ads that really grate

Talk Sport and that fucking William Hill advert every 5 mins blaring out Sweet Fucking Caroline (with twats shouting "so good so good")
Fair play to Neil Diamond he must be loving the royalties - cant wait for the Euros to end just to bin that advert
£900 per play, I used to quite like that song but it's overkill, it's also being played on local radio stations. The twat who does the voice over sounds like he's being sincere, he's trying to get punters to play online slots, the crack cocaine of gambling.

I worked for William Hill for 9 years from 1980, there were huge restrictions on advertising in those days, they were only allowed to place an advert with odds in the trade papers or for big events in the Daily's. In the shops we could list the odds for events on a whiteboard but you weren't entitled by law to entice punters to bet, eg, "have a bet on City beating the rags today 5-0" wasn't allowed. Those restrictions need to be brought back and casino online needs to be banned.
 
The Dominos one hands down. If people then say well the advert has done its job by getting your attention then I would counter that with as long as I hear that I do not buy a pizza from them
 
Day time tv seems to be full of adverts about death. The worst one is about cremation, they appear to be offering a service where they take away the body and bring back the ashes without any ceremony or funeral. A strange concept of not giving closure to the family.
David Bowie did it, would have been popular last year during lock down. I'm at a funeral this afternoon, old mate who died in Germany 6 weeks ago, it's taken this long to get his body repatriated and has been distressing for his U.K. based family, would have been an option to do the German equivalent and have just a service here. We're having to stand outside the Crematorium gates at Dukinfield to pay our respects.
 
That LG family one, with the shite singing
Any ad with people singing or dancing because they're "so happy" about a product they've just bought is annoying, and part of what is wrong with the world.

Also that ad for internet safety where the woman goes "Meet in real life, ooohhhh!". Talk about over-acting.
 
The himalayan herrings one?

Incredibly repetitive and doesn't even make sense - herrings are a salt water, oceanic fish and the Himalayas are land locked 1000 miles from the nearest ocean.
Mere details.
Salmon are born in fresh water, spend their lives in salt water, then return back to where they were born to breed/die/get eaten by bears.
Perhaps Himalayan herrings do the same.

It could have been worse.
Any Morrissey song advertising Dignitas.
