Worst TV adverts of the moment

wasn't even thinking of the stylistic cliches but yes ugggggh already

kevin bacon's doing it now

nationwide doubling down with lockdown adverts featuring terrible poems

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..

Can't believe Cadburys are still trying to sell that dark milk shit

Trevor MacDonald doing that advert for television is excruciating

that fucking apple phone unboxing advert

once again featuring yr man from skint and demoralised i think

Every single charity lottery advert is cunts all the way down

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.

> once again featuring yr man from skint and demoralised i think

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.

(may not all be nationwide adverts, they all look the same, increasingly so)

On the Queen soundtracked NHS one there are two women standing about 3' apart but in their own gardens so that's fine obviously.

there are actual food-banks shown on some of those government/NHS Coronavirus public information films, un-fucking-believable

watching something taped before christmas and in one ad break i've just had

tesco club card plus casablanca ad
the coca cola tongue ad
amazon warehouse 'donna's cakes!' ad

The advert for thrush medicine where she winks like she's flirting with a yeast infection.

that is a mindfuckingly camp advert

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...

Lloyds Fucking Bank at it again

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?

I hope Jamie Oliver dies of Rona soon

"Jonny Fluffypunk" get tae fuck

Itch - flea treatment subscription through the post. comes in a custom cardboard box that basically tells the whole world the situation.

(similarly, i wonder what happens if you send your kids to school in Geox anti-stink trainers)

that numan ED advert seems to be in every ad break i see recently

"sequences shortened"

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

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.

Robinson's juice, where the kid in court says "what would you like to order". DIE BART DIE

Mind you, I have found out how much actors in a famous ad chain mentioned upthread get and <mindblown.gif>.

xp OTM- it can't be difficult to come up with an ad that doesn't utterly humiliate the actors involved

Like all right-thinking people I've wanted Anthony and Declan to die in agony for a long time, but the new adverts are taking that desire to a higher level

are they still conceptualising marketing campaigns for Santander in excruciating fashion?

They are "spontaneously" reuniting "ordinary people" via the magic of the Internet for some reason I've been too radge to fathom

Check, Change, Go.

oh, lauren, what are you doing?

the sky adverts were bad enough.

You can shove "Come Together" up your arse

Cunt who voices the Weetabix advert better hope we're never introduced

(that's Nick Frost, Mike from Spaced)

Excellent, yet another reason to despise him

I didn't realise that was actually Danny Dyer's daughter in that Surf advert.

Any of several ads in which adults with camera phones behave like giddy toddlers because they're allowed to eat fast food again

Hey Google? Play my whales mating playlist.

Brb, have to withdraw all my money from Lloyd's bank.

"My favourite is the cottage pie. No; the lasagne."

In the spirit of responsible posting I'm not going to describe the violence I've fantasised about inflicting on the new Asda advert man

Shot and edited on iPhone

(Additional software and hardware used)

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.

gee willikins the current Sainsbury's advert is bad bad bad

These Nationwide "poets" aren't even trying any more are they?

"I am not a poet
Living is the poem..."

I should probably stop watching re-runs of Star Trek TNG on the Horror Channel, but for inexplicable algorithmic reasons during the breaks they show a Barbie ad, which is truly stroke-inducing in its twee awfulness

the girl imagining she's giving a lecture? horrible

that's the one!
