I'm guessing we won't be seeing it any more now the season is over, thankfully, but the Sky TV ad with Idris Elba singing "In the days over Christmas I like to watch mov-eez" to the tune of The 12 Days of Christmas was one of the more irritating things over the holiday. Jeez, you'd think a copywriting agency would be able to find someone to write some new words where at least one of them fit with the melody.

Peloton got a brief mention a year ago but, yes, annoying. I never saw their controversial advert, just this current one and the earlier one which was the same but with a woman leading. "Smashed it"

I've noticed they've re-edited the the latest Paddy MxGuinness/Jackpot Joy advert and replaced the most disturbing scene - the one on the bus. I'm sure they must have had complaints.

Oh it's been mentioned
I hate everything about it. Expensive exercise bike and app subscription so that twats in a certain wage bracket can look like porn superheroes or whatever it's supposed to be. Go for a fucking run round the park. You smashed it! Awesome work guys, dress down/beer fridge Fridays!

this new campaign for the Clear travel system has one of the stupidest and most annoying slogans I've seen in a good long time. https://www.thedrum.com/creative-works/project/red-antler-clear-you-get-you-places

Nothing wrong with the advert per se but I suspect this ad campaign might need to be pulled.

There's a Now TV ad that starts something like "Sue feels locked in by her current TV package" accompanied by shot of a woman binge watching in a darkened living room

I'm guessing they all had prebooked the ad slots, and have run round (within the house obv) filming replacement ads for the "Good vibes, sunshine and so forth" substituting the sober concern ones.
Except for bingo sites doing the CARRY ON PLAYING THIS AT Home sell, with the split second "When you run out of money, stop playing" frame with a website in little writing..
