Even more adverts you despise

deezell

That Nescafe instant coffee ad where your wan pretends she's in a trendy coffee shop and asks her Mo Salah lookalike boyfriend for an Al Jazera Americano or whatever the powered chemical is called, then just for PC-ness, she asks for 'a splash of Oat Milk'. Newsflash, your veganness, there's no such thing as Oat 'milk'. Oats are seeds, they don't have tits, and can't produce milk. The water and Oat flour liquid that's sold in shops can't be labelled as 'Milk' for this reason. It probably also breaches advertising standards to use the term in an ad. Instant fkn coffee. Ugh.

Amazon are putting some real stinkers out lately since the singing cleaner. The one with the mother and moody teenage son is really starting to get my goat, the fact that the idiot son thinks he can skateboard on the beach, the fact there is a perfectly good path for skating running along the front of his house, the way he just dumps his skateboard on the ground. Pay attention to the start of the ad where he is saying goodbye to his group of friends before moving; it looks like they can't wait to be rid of him.

"I said How are ya"

I had the misfortune to have one of the UK channels on at dinner time, when up popped an ad for Domino's deep fried Cadbury Creme Egg. I nearly blew chunks right across the family dinner table. That ad should really come with a trigger warning.

'Blew chunks'. Noted and added to my vocabulary. Excellent, almost Shakespearian. 'He doth blow chunks, my liege. Verily'.

Photobox

That Muller ad , Spooner, tipper, chocolate balls ad on the radio constantly. All trying to say it with innuendo barf 🤮

F*cking Cheltenham bollox has started already.

Bet! Bet! Bet!

That vomit inducing Paddy Power ad with Colm Meaney and, is it, Peter Crouch is bound to show up around Cheltenham time. I forking hate it.

Absolutely hate those ads. They give me the creeps.
As does the Kelloggs ad. I can't even explain why.

I have to mute the tv when that ad comes on.

I know why. It's because it's so nonsensical. A giant green chicken, it's physics poorly animated btw, and the humans staring at it, but only in shocked surprise. It's set neither in reality ot fantasy, it's purposeless, utter tosh. Like the Tesco 'I've got the power' idiots.

I genuinely can't articulate why it annoys me so much.
Ugh, those 'I've got the power' ads are dreadful.

The Aldi ad that's set in an office. Annoying.
I haven't seen anyone wear a pinafore like that in many years, thankfully.

yes and why the English accent on an lrish radio ad.?! Strange

Because with the Brit accent, you can hear it as 'Smart Bugger' and 'Silly Bugger', but without actually using that antiquated and presumably offensive non-PC word. We were routinely called 'Little Buggers' as kids, usually when being pursued by an adult/parent/child minder. Silly Bugger was a favourite British tv comedy expression.

The Home Store and More ad is too Christmasy for this time of year, but the wan in the yellow has some titties.

Is the "how are ya" ad meant to be set during lockdown? "How are you holding up" being one clue.

Yep, that's it's origins, 3 are too stingy to bother making a new one.

deezell

They make a 99% coverage claim, but the small prints says '99% population', not area.

I don't think ever before in human history were people as bombarded with adverts as they are today. On Facebook every third post is an advert. I'm not on X anymore but when I was, every third tweet was an ad. If you watch a video longer than 2 minutes on you tube it will pause to show you an ad.

The unintended consequence of this advert saturation is I now don't believe 99% of the claims made from 99% of advertisers.

I've long held the suspicion that nine out of ten cats don't actually prefer whiskas. That Heineken is probably not the best beer and extensive research by myself has shown that Red Bull does not in fact give you wings.

So when I see 99% coverage I assume they mean 99% coverage of some specific suburb in Dublin.

The Pampers nappy ad where a little baby in the park lets a fart that is so loud that a grown man who has been living on curry and lager for a week could not match the volume.

Oooops.

Which reminds me of a story my mother told me years ago. She used to do door to door market research. She'd ask about voting directions "sure we always vote Fianna Fail". And when she asked what is your favorite advert on TV, she said it was amazing how many people said the "Heineken frogs".

deezell

Those fkn Hello Fresh ads, on TV, Gmail inbox, You Tube preferences, and every forum I go to. Finger worn out deleting them Overpriced groceries stewing in a cardboard box on your doorstep till you arrive home. Utter bollocks. Just pop into the shop, buy a couple of rump steaks or chicken legs, and a few spuds.

Bogey Lowenstein

The Pepto-Bismal ad with the song and dance routine in the cafe. It is so embarrassing.

Bogey Lowenstein

All the cleaning product ads that show them wiping limescale off the shower with ease. I call shenanigans, it is probably flour or something. Then they expect you to believe that you can instantly de-scale a clogged shower head with just a quick spray. Take a hike!

deezell

LImescale is like cement. Lime wash was used like exterior paint historically. Takes a lot of dissolving, (especially the ten year old stuff in the loo bend infused with urea! I had to use a ground down old wood chisel in an old doer upper I was helping to get ready for sale. Ugh.)
