Worst TV adverts of the moment

If Internet ads count that Audible one about going on a trip to Westeros and visiting the moon drives me up the wall. I resent how well produced it is and I resent the implicit "you can't go anywhere because of the rona, why not stay home and give Bezos some more cash".

(I do have adblock but not on the ancient ipod I use to halfwatch twitch)

Adverts for apples? Sure why not. But who holds their apples vertically when eating them?

sneaky-tarian is not a thing
deluxe-tarian is not a thing
spicy-tarian is not a thing

That bugs the shit out of me too, but I guess calling people arians is a homophone too far these days.

Richard Ayoade eat a dick straight up

Why oh why are these people trying to make the portmanteau 'housebarrasment' a thing?

Can't think of a worse misuse of the English language than 'housebarrasment'? Cazoo yeah you can!

Just, where's the effort?

Spend more money on yr kitchen otherwise face reduction in your social standing

Saw this ad for Valentine's cards on TV recently. Horrible.

Yes, it's just disturbing, but this one is even more nightmarish if anything:

Fucking hell, imagine the brainstorm session that led to that.

"delish"

no no no no no

I can't hear the strapline to this company's adverts as anything other than Bastards of Fish.

is that a Steven Hartley voiceover? Talk fucking Sport!

Steven Hartley & Shipley Rebel

I'm starting to think Verisure's use of non-professional actors is an aesthetic choice in a nod to Pasolini

Oh while I'm on I hope the voiceover person for Tombola gargles hydrochloric acid soon

Right, let's do Bingo, Paddy Power style....

Never mind Weight Watchers Corden you need to go on a program to lose cuntishness

GambleAware adverts <<< gambling adverts <<< other adverts and there's one every break, seemingly.

who is the bloke with the big voice and odd cadence in the paddy power(?) advert? am i meant to know him? NEVER BET WHEN YOU'RE ANGRY.

new Verisure advert as well, same as all the others. a woman talks to a man, at least.

Matt Chapman? Horse racing pundit for ITV and sky sports and all round loudmouth. If like me you do watch a bit of the racing you'll be familiar with the paddy power talking horses ads that they play every break, now they're really bad

> but the Hey Car white guy rapping / miming in a car is probably my least favourite ad right now. (March 2021)

they are still showing this exact same advert in every ad break over a year later.

i do actually wish I'd bought a thinner tv

I think it's Virgin Mobile using an awful cover of Lust for Life with the lyric changed to Love for Life for some stupid reason

Wankers

am i meant to know or care about the women and her kids in the fairy liquitabs adverts? the click clack woman.

People are worried about being able to afford food yet they are encouraging us to use deliveroo for pints of milk.

New verisure ad doesn't use the phrase 'i feel safer already'

am i meant to know or care about the women and her kids in the fairy liquitabs adverts? the click clack woman.

She is a model and "influencer" who is married to one of the Made in Chelsea people.

They show Alabama state tourism ads on tv often with the local news, usually outlining some big Bobby Jones series of golf courses. A newer one of these ads definitely had me doing a serious eyebrow raise was them selling making a visit to history to go to the Edmund Pettus Bridge and shows the 16th Street Baptist Church AND oh yeah you can still go play some golf at one of our 'Bobby Jones' resorts. Anything for a buck...

OMG, new Verisure ad with three speaking parts!

what do they talk about?

I think it's alarms.

'the match' is mentioned, it's just about to start. and he sets the alarm in 'the shop' using his phone.

turkey appears to have it's tourism advert game sorted.

current bugbear is the way they reduce the wreckless eric song to like 8 words at the end of that other advert, a line and a half.

i can't remember which company is doing the current sponsor slots on ITV2 for Family Guy/American Dad but they feature two of the most killworthy actors i've seen in a long long time

they've changed the most recent verisure tv ad. now ends with 'should i get one?' 'do it!' where it used to be a more wistful 'i should get one...'

If I was a charity I would simply not make a TV advert making my organization look like a bunch of sanctimonious cunts

Hmm, are they going for "governmental take-up"?

> If I was a charity I would simply not make a TV advert making my organization look like a bunch of sanctimonious cunts

donkeys?

was that a new verisure advert? they really do crank them out.

RSPCA was my trigger but there are lots of very bad ones

And the best thing is.....

Thorvald, Wild’s polar bear hero, discovers his new girlfriend Sarah has a ‘climate change kink’ when he walks in on her watching a film about melting ice caps and having a moment of self love. He’s taken aback but, having promised not to kink shame, Thorvald indulges Sarah by listening to her struggles about doing the right thing for the planet, from sometimes leaving the tap running while she cleans her teeth, to not rinsing her recycling and even, eating the occasional out-of-season strawberry. He even gets into it himself, with some single-use plastic-related role play.

He's a polar bear!

all tv ads for subscription services that are aired on terrestrial tv can get in the sea, but especially the current paramount / coffee delivery one.

the woman hiding in the wigwam in the life insurance advert who gives her age as "50" has obviously had a hard life because she looks at least 10 years older than that.

i thought you meant Brit Box and i was gonna wholeheartedly agree

OK, it's 30 degrees outside and I've just seen an advert for Christmas trees.
