The Betfred Lotto adverts with that annoying female voiceover

The motability advert where everyone is singing they’re free.

As someone who hates fast-food in general and McDonald's in particular, I absolutely hate and can't stand their really annoying ads with that stupid high pitched whistle at the end.

If you are a McDonald's fan just consider the poor treatment, their brainwashing culture, obsessive protestant work ethic where you always have to be doing something “time to lean, time to clean”, and the rubbish money they pay their staff. Just have a look at the film “The Founder” about Ray Kroc and how he ripped off the MacDonald brothers and his unfettered greed.

I hate "virtue signalling" bank adverts like these.
Greedy, venal, profit driven institutions cynically vying for your business, cloaked under a veneer of pretty images, inspiring, life affirming music, and people, both staff and customers, being attractively human and doing stuff you can aspire to or empathize with.

sparkus · « **Reply #157 on:** May 13, 2021, 01:14:38 pm »

The Confused.com ads which seem to change every week (from flat bloke tiny sofa problems to fat bloke wave issues now).

I agree, I think one of the worst offenders is Halifax, who think they still have a connection with their traditional working class customers from when they were a Northern building society. The world has changed and so has the banking industry.

The same happens on Italian TV in a way.

They dub it, but then the Italian dubber uses American/English words during the dubbing; even words that can easily be translated into Italian such as "killer" instead of "Assassino"; "Shopping" instead of "Acquisti"; or "Stop" instead of "Fermo" etc; which makes the whole advert ( including TV programs and recent films ) so fake and annoying for an Italian speaker, especially one like me who is a fluent English speaker.

The real problem follows later as the youngsters who watch this rubbish think that they, through this experience, understand English!

I'm addicted to Shake Shack and feel more guilty about the cost there than I do punting.

It helps that quite a few of their customers are thicc and young.

Never mind mobile anything to do with Sky sends me in the opposite direction, the recent ads to get you to sign up to Sky VIP (Or something like that) where the guy goes around saying how you get a back stage pass to all these "Stars"

It's that sort of shit that puts me off Sky to begin with

Second this but also why the fuck do they think it necessary to show in every single ad a woman’s fully clothed ass or crotch to demonstrate that there’s no blood escaping or product visible?!? As if it’s proof the product works or something

.

I’d be much less irritated if they showed a fit and proper skimpily clad lass to better make their point but they never do for some reason

Crap beer pasteurised or not. London beer is. As is London.

Anyone else fed up with those sponsorship spots at the start and finish of ad breaks for that oldies dating thing? NO idea what the company was called, so the ads are clearly useless. In the ads, oldies are set up on a date because they both like walking? You'd think that'd be too anti-disabled for today's woke twats, etc etc..

I've noticed recently that it's edited down a bit now, perhaps they had complaints.

They should sack the creative team though, that's a stinker and the 'Himalayan herrings' one was too.

YouTube regularly show a WhatsApp advert before videos and during the advert the incoming message sound goes off 3 or 4 times. Everytime I hear that sound I immediately check my phone I never learn. Really irritating as I think I am popular for a moment only to realise someone isn't actually messaging me.
