The Real Buh 3,432 Posted September 5, 2021 Lots of division on here but here’s maybe something we can unite on. Hatred of adverts. Lets relax and share our most annoying current adverts. Internet, TV whatever. personal worst one at the moment, the climate change pledge ads with the self important kids in it. When that Australian kid says “do more sustainable farming, it’s a thing now” it makes me want to get in my car and just start revving it. It’s makes me want to disturb a family of endangered water voles. What moron thought that this could encourage people to want to do more to act on climate change? proof, if any more was needed, the climate issue will be solved by clever scientists and engineers. Not spineless politicians or hippies covered in red paint who have never worked a day in their lives. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FenwayFrank 2,458 Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Adverts for products that start with “vagi” where are all the special soaps and lotions that start with “n o b “ ? Edited September 5, 2021 by FenwayFrank 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real Buh 3,432 Posted September 5, 2021 I’d like to also mention the longevity award goes to nationwide who have consistently made the worst adverts. It’s not a single one in particular it’s all of them. They all follow a weird artsy foRmula that must be causing people to actively search for another bank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im not going to be lectured by a company who is run by literally Lex Luther from superman and has official procedures for delivery drivers pooping in bags to keep productivity high.

TheGunnShow 5,937 Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Any ****ing advert on YouTube. I got rid of my television twelve years ago, and don't regret it in the slightest. Saves me money on Sky as well as the TV licence. Happy days. I don't agree with @The Real Buh too much, but certainly agree with his disdain for Amazon. In fact, I haven't bought anything from them in about five years. Edited September 8, 2021 by TheGunnShow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Load of Squit 5,161 Posted September 8, 2021 I like Amazon, they remind me of ACME Co. from the Roadrunner cartoons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,603 Posted September 8, 2021 Amazon having to spend such a large amount on advertising to tell us they are not horrible bastards to work for suggests they might actually be horrible bastards to work for. The Levis advert about 'buying better' pisses me off so much, mainly because it has Jaden Smith in it. He's grown up immensely rich and privileged so, for him, 'buying better' (which usually means more expensive) is substantially easier. Add in that Levi's have an obvious interest in selling more ****ing jeans and it just all goes into one huge, hypocritical ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,161 Posted September 16, 2021 The all-smiling advert for the SunLife Plan with Derek and June, usually run during the graveyard shift. "It's June Dad." "Hello June, would you like a parsnip?" (Smiling.) "This came next door for you, Derek, it looks important." "Oh, it must be my SunLife Plan (all smiles.) It gives me peace of mind for when I go all my funeral expenses will be catered for." "Oh Derek, I must get one myself" (Tentative smile.) Well, you get a free gift too. I'm thinking of getting a new pair of binoculars." (Broad smile.) "Oh, I'm definitely in, Derek." (Broad smile.) "I'll put the details through your door. Parsnip jam, wine?" Both smiling hysterically as the camera fades. How two people are supposed to be so delighted when contemplating their own funerals beats me. It's the free gift what does it.
