I'm going to say all adverts.  Can't stand any of them.

Too many annoying characters; too much wokeness; fakeness etc.

Can't say any ad in years has made me want to rush out to some carpet / sofa shop in my new £80k electric 4x4 insured by some opera singer or meerkat and pay for by winning the postcode lottery, along the usual empty city streets.....

Safe Style windows with David Seaman, why on earth he appears in this crappy advert is a mystery ( I know for the money) but he can't be short of a few bob.

The Gold Reserve jewellery  advert that's always on during the GB News break. What a very annoying Welsh person he is !

Oh, and the Moneysupermarket ad. It was a perfect handbrake turn into the parking spot, and Judie Dench rated it only 4 out of 10 !!

Does Gary Lineker do any ads now? What a daft cunt, marrying a model half his age then giving her millions when she dumped him, probably worked out at 25 grand a shag. NB This is nothing to do with anything political BTW.  ;)

Back in the day when it was permitted thre used to be loads of cigarette adverts. Even now  they advertise  in all sorts of ways.  However  when challenged   the tobacco companies  response is that there is no evidence that proves that advertising  influences the public. By extension,  that  argument  applies to all advertising.  So, if it doesn't work, why spend billions on it?

Used to love the Hamlet cigar adverts, they were always funny especially the photo booth one  (look it up on you tube) with Gregor Fisher who went on to play Rab C Nesbitt.  :lol:

When tabaco companies were forced to stop paying advertising, formula 1, darts etc...... their profits went up. As they still had a similar income, but considerably lower expenditure

Yeah not advertising boosts profits if nobody advertises but if one company / brand advertises then they benefit while the other loses out overall.

Some comedian did a sketch questioning why companies like Coca Cola spend Billions worldwide advertising then you walk into a pub and ask for a glass of Coke only to be told "Sorry sir we have Pepsi" to which the customer replies "yeah whatever"  :D

That obnoxious family in the advert  would put me off booking a holiday with the company. I once got a last minute deal for an all inclusive holiday, the hotel was full of people like that family, never again.

The kid is clearly going to be a horrendous adult and the mum is not so much better kicking flip flops at the silver fox by the pool. But she is a MILF and silver fox would find it easy to prise her from the Arthur Mullard dumpy dad for a quickie.

I dropped into this conversation because I just KNEW that fucking ad would be mentioned. Absolutely vile family, apart from the little girl. How can a company with money to spend get it so fucking wrong. Plus the use of a Christmas song in fucking March is truly getting on my growler.

Feel sorry for that lad in real life, though. He's probably bagged between three and five grand for licking that ice cream and waddling around the breakfast buffet, but scant compensation for a lifetime's worth of 'Aren't you that horrible fat kid off the telly ad?'

Incidentally, I have no idea what company is advertising. Not a scooby… beyond holiday company. All I see is fallen ice creams, dumpy mum jumping in the pool, old dad who looks like Peter Butterworth… Complete fail.

True. I once met a lad on hols who played an annoying kid in an advert and he was bullied the shit out of (though he initially tried the "I'm famous, girls" thing).

In the short term yes but they were no longer getting young people hooked on a 50 year habit - so they put money into vaping to get them started.

Yes vaping was a good way for smokers to give up or help give up or at least cut down but now kids who have never smoked are hooked on vaping  :dash:

The Coke advert with Gidi Hadid and her pasta party.  :P

The usual hyper cool get together with friends making fresh pasta and enjoying a Coca Cola. The bit that annoys me the most is I’m pretty sure they have gone to the trouble of adding fake cgi steam coming off the freshly made pasta.

They can all fuck off as far as I’m concerned.
