Don't think so. The Verisure tradition of only two people being allowed (paid?) to talk in an advert continues.

That Xmas one with "because nothing's stopping us" always struck me as pretty irresponsible but I'm kind of surprised they haven't pulled it yet.

there's a new verisure advert, but it has no qualities worth mentioning.
but watching Big Match Revisited, 80s football, there are pitch side adverts for manhole covers, tyres and tapes (cassettes i guess). and Dickie Dirt's "for PM and Sunday" whatever that means. no car adverts, no airline adverts, nothing that i saw on Everton / Hull City before that.

Is this the new Verisure advert where the non-speaking partners (the wives, in this case) are barely seen, I think you see the top of their heads? I think Verisure are slowly moving towards something like Beckett's "Not I", where the screen is taken up by a giant close-up of a mouth endlessly blabbering to itself about household alarm systems.

the second match has Townsend Thoresen adverts (car ferries) and, yes, airline adverts, if British Caledonian Airways counts. also motor oil, tv hire, Stanley tools, Hoover, and a local car radio place by the looks

If Internet ads count that Audible one about going on a trip to Westeros and visiting the moon drives me up the wall. I resent how well produced it is and I resent the implicit "you can't go anywhere because of the rona, why not stay home and give Bezos some more cash".

They show Alabama state tourism ads on tv often with the local news, usually outlining some big Bobby Jones series of golf courses. A newer one of these ads definitely had me doing a serious eyebrow raise was them selling making a visit to history to go to the Edmund Pettus Bridge and shows the 16th Street Baptist Church AND oh yeah you can still go play some golf at one of our 'Bobby Jones' resorts. Anything for a buck...
