Incredibly the latest Nationwide advert with the sisters surpasses all the others so far in eye-gouging ear-stabbing horror
― i know kore-eda (or something), Monday, 8 January 2018 20:54 (six years ago) link
indeed. I thought nothing could be worse than the Sainsburys xmas adverts but they have trumped it

Nationwide is a menace all the way around. they've got a new one with Tori Kelly doing a "soulful" take on the jingle. who the fuck wants to hear that 84 times during a football game? it was bad enough when it was Brad Paisley.
a good commercial, though, is Chris Paul, James Harden, Trevor Ariza and Oscar from The Office singing Backstreet Boys.

Nationwide is really the worst - "our ads are a national treasure" is pretty much the worst possible vantage point to approach a commercial from
I guess Progressive do this too but there's at least some wit and self-deprecation there. Nationwide stumbled into one commercial people sorta liked and now are gonna rehash it for the next 3+ years

This is the UK Nationwide advert.

I think I hate charity lotteries the most of all, the ugly, money-grubbing, sanctimonious, self-defeating cunts

Worse than Charity lotteries are:
Charities which soothe you into putting a "bequeathe" in your will. Ooh, carry on the good work so your descendents will benefit etc.
Nothing about how the charity will slap a lawyer straight onto preventing your descendents from selling your house/property (or deciding amongst themselves as to how to divvy it up, etc) and selling it themselves to make sure their 10% is gotten as soon as possible.
It hasn't happened to me, but it has happened to people I know.
Seriously, pass it on. If you/they want to donate to charity from a will, specify! £5,000 lets say. Do Not Mention A Percentage!!!

Staple it to yr mother's fridge!
I'm not saying all the charities do that. I could tell you which it was, but then mmm dangerous add disclaimers etc. Also, that they were the only one.

which child is more noxious: sassy girl in the Robinson's ad or professional northerner being menaced by a giant Martin Keown. my vote's on the latter, but the lass is trying hard.
