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..

The trevento (wine?) bumper ads featuring 8 men boasting around a pub table about how they went skiing once and didn't die, or how the big rugby man scared them but they survived have now been updated to include some women spouting crap too, along the lines of how yoga can be hard, or something.

the ones i keep seeing are pregnant woman talking about how they are coping ok and the 'we're getting married in 6 months regardless' and the woman apologising to future-self for all the lockdown comfort eating.

There is a lynx ad where a bloke back in time, girl, lockers, hyperspace, girl sprays both of them and they go off together, all that, fine.
For some reason there's a squirrel doing some dance right at the end near a can of lynx. Only, a previous version had the squirrel dancing with the can.
Lets just say, it didn't look like he was dancing...

Kind of amazing that advertisers still think using CGI to make it appear animals or, worse, babies, can talk is a good idea. I mean, "Babe" was 25 years ago and the technology looks cheaper and less convincing now than it did then. Also, am I imagining it, or was this a gimmick that took off for a while, then disappeared, and has only started being used again in the last few years?

shows I've been watching far too much daytime TV, but those "sponsored by" ads on Come Dine With Me, featuring actors mispronouncing the brandname "Galbani" in ways that suggest they have had an alarming variety of serious brain injuries
― Neil S, Monday, 22 June 2020 13:11 (four years ago) link
I hate where you're expected to buy into a premise that is patently untrue - like Galbani being a difficult word to pronounce. The cunts are getting paid enough they should be able to come up with something better.

you wait ages for an advert for underwear made from bamboo and then two come along at once.
the 'isn't it good to share' mobile phone advert is misleading, i think - in all the examples you see the thing (pizza, bicycle, sandwiches...) being shared grows in size before the sharing, which isn't the case with your data.
