There's a shorter, edited version of this ad for Zalondo currently on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tklMEpmR1G4

I haven't the faintest idea WTF any of this hodge podge of random fat yokes is meant to be about.

Zalondo amazes me, its stuff is staggeringly more expensive than the high street (like all online retailers, really)

The Fairy ads with that talentless reality model. I don't care about you, your talentless reality husband or your kid. Mission unaccomplished. I won't be buying any of your products Fairy.

The new babby doesn't even have a name in this Ad, Theodore got mentioned in the last one.

Can anyone explain what is going on in the Heinekan ad? Why does the woman slam the door and have the taxi drive off on her boyfriend? And the 2 lads on the couch?

It's implied that they're gay at the start of the ad as one has his arms on the back of the couch behind the red haired lad, but they don't go any further than just mates watching a tense match to avoid being too gay so as to avoid offending anyone watching.

The woman and her English boyfriend are also very annoying. Who would drive off in a taxi and leave her other half behind?

The ad also ends with "they're the perfect match...until the match"

So wtf were they watching in the pub???

There's a number of ads on that drive me to mute when any ads come on.

Eirgrid, butchering of Message in a Bottle by The Police.
"Ma, can I have this?". It seems to be on every ad break. The last time it came on my dad said "Just let the wee hoor starve".
The TK Maxx add with the auld wan and her Pinapple Sunset nail polish.

There seems to be a trend for awful, acapella/ minimalist piano covers by a female vocalist lately.

500 Miles by the Proclaimers, on the Barrys Tea ad being one.

Yep and there was a similar version of 500 miles used in a Viagra ad recently too.

That ****ing virgin broadband ad, it's as if they deliberately made everything about it annoying as possible:

The mopey, depressing look on the woman's face.
The awkward jigging along to the Dephece Mode song
Irritating future scenarios
It never seems to end
Constantly asking "what about the future?" Nobody wants to think about the ****ing future for Christ's sake! The future means more bills followed by death.

The ones about cutting snacks. If there ever was an ad for not having kids that's it!

That Diet Coke ad sounds like a parody, the fact that one person wrote the song, and another person approved it for the ad is astounding.

It's retro I assume. That jingle was used to advertise Diet Coke ads in the 80s and 90s.

Its awful crap and easily the ad I most despise at the moment. And as you say it seems to go on for ages while we get three different scenarios with BROADBAND OPTIMISED. Its cheap, tacky and a right pain in the hoop.

Theres a bit in the ad, which yes is on every 5 feckin minutes, where a dog barks, which sets my dog off barking every feckin time.

Immortal Starlight · 01-06-2021 04:03PM

If any words in an ad would turn me off watching a tv show those words are Lucy Kennedy.
