Quite. They're all detestable.
For starters, it's rare to see any group of people in an ad that's representative of what Britain actually looks like outside of Tottenham. But worse than that, is the total lack of imagination. We had memorable ads in the old days, with strap lines and sayings that passed into common parlance.
Refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach.
You got an 'ology.
Tea's too wet without one
You cant get better than a Kwik Fit fitter
Does what it says on the tin
For mash get smash
and so on
And the ads just looked better and were far more imaginative.
Like this Honda ad: External Link/Members Only
Cadburys gorilla: External Link/Members Only
Guiness: External Link/Members Only
Not that memorable then as it was you can't get
quicker than a kwik fit fitter
Anyway plenty of gems on here that I agree with -
I don't mind the current Just eat ads with Snoop Dog but that's perhaps because I hated the previous ones where people randomly sang the line followed by "Ohhhhhh"
Agree the Nationwide monologues are just totally fucking shit
Strangely I don't mind the meercat ads and Go compare, the current Moneysupermarket ones are OK but they have had a few which I hated like the suited guy twerking in tight hotpants or whatever they were, I purchased through another comparison site as a direct result of the ad.
3 used to have fucking stupid adverts with a shetland pony moonwalking plus others of similar ilk at the time
Most of the you tube ads as there are simply too many of them but i'm fucked if i'm paying £12 a month to get rid of them, fucking rip off, why do they always want way too much cash for all this shit
I could probably go £2 at a push
You tube pop up often asks if I liked the advert and I say no every time, they must be wondering what the fuck to push my way but I seem to keep getting adverts for Grammerly FFS
As WW pointed out most ads are aimed at women and seem to be quite content in putting men down as that's apparently OK
Peoples postcode lottery and song, that ad is clearly aimed at a certain demographic
There was one of these a few years back where they got some bloke about 60 to sing along and it was fucking awful
As is the Perf with Surf, never realised it was Dani Dyer but always watched the ad and wished she's pop up on AW
Cinch has been mentioned, again putting men down but doubly as bad as it's got that twat Rylan on it, seriously I can't stand the cunt and he appears to be on fucking everything
One that I can't stand at the moment is "Windsor mint" commemorative coins, seems to be on Yesterday all the time, it's not the ad in itself so much but the fucking background music is over powering and far too loud, it sort of pulses and means you can't actually hear or concentrate on what they are selling.
Anyway rant over
