Worst TV adverts of the moment

Oh yeah I watch stuff on Now when I do the dishes. Now knows that I watch House of the Dragon on there and yet serves me up ads for it anyway.

"and my lot know how to party"

cut to tribe of ungainly white zombies wobbling side to side in an ice cold suburban lounge

Yes, the same guy is in one of the Verisure ads too.

I hate all of those ads for I think it's accountancy software, or some other boring shit aimed a small businesses, with annoying tiny people bullying people into buying their incomprehensible product. Especially the one where the woman says, "I don't like tech". Has anyone ever said, "I don't like tech" irl? About some piece of software?

Yeah I hate that woman a lot, sorry I'm a misogynist now

Just seen some other home security think called SimplySafe, hopefully they can get into it with Verisure and kill each other

xxp reminds me of this Irish TV “classic”

I wish more commercials were like this beeper commercial from yesteryear

it's Christmas, people are dancing on the moon again before suddenly dressing as matadors for reasons i can't discern.

Tesco: lol politics

Yeah, great work kids

"who said electrification can't spark excitement when unplugged?"

nobody. literally nobody has ever said this, it makes no sense, wtf is up with car adverts?

remembering the 90s when all car commercials were "hey there's a woman in a bikini sunbathing on the hood, women will dig you if you buy this car", now it's a bunch of random gobbledegook featuring some old classic rock song they licensed to use.

from sexism to incomprehensibility

In the online ads category (at least I think they don't do these on telly) - Uber, the ship has long sailed on trying to trick people into thinking your drivers are treated anywhere near fairly. I will not interrupt my 4 hour video on a failed theme park to sign up for your fleet no matter how many times you try me.

That John Lewis ad really doing an “ironic” acoustic version of All The Small Things huh

lol i've seen that ad and hadn't a clue what it was for tbh

all ads for games that have "not actual in game footage" disclaimers on them. what are you showing me then? why would I be interested in these images?

Generally it's cut scenes I think? I agree that still sucks

Remember when they'd sell dolls in the 90s and show them walking and write "doll does not walk" below in disclaimers

God the number of rubbish board games we got as kids that were nothing like the TV ads

Mouse Trap,christ

i saved up my pocket money for weeks for that load of shit

Sea Monkeys

it was a hard lesson in life seeing something that shone out like a diamond on the pages of Kays catalogue and then later taking in the horrible realisation that you've wasted months of time, hotly anticipating a piece of shit.

Jenny Nicholson on Evermore, right?? Can't believe I watched (and enjoyed) all four hours of that.

dear Jason Donovan, when you say you hope you're knocking on my door next, you're saying it to everybody watching that advert, which kind of defeats the purpose of a lottery you fucking clown

Hi Dior, not sure still having a wife beater doing his sad rock and roll fantasy shit is a good look for your brand but it's your choice I guess

I’m so sick of seeing that cunt atm

Daisy daisy daisy daisy... stop fucking ruining Suicide!

oh, heard another inexplicable 80s song used by an advert - life is life

rip diego

Jesus, how much pickle is she putting on that sandwich?

and even after 100 viewings I'm not sure what the 3rd bloke on the current verisure advert says. "is it (something)?"

i'm guessing everyone involved in the nespresso advert is saving their best work for something else.

i didn't know you had dandruf?

it's 2023 and you've all been saying 'hyundai' wrong for years...

... and Škoda.

sorry to resurrect the memory of terrible Christmas ads, but Sainsburys using a cod-medieval cover version of Wheatus' "Teenage Dirtbag" was an interesting move

Jenny Nicholson on Evermore, right?? Can't believe I watched (and enjoyed) all four hours of that.

It was, yeah. Actually made me really excited about the idea of living nearby and following all the storylines, though 1) doesn't excuse the myriad health & safety/labour rights concerns and 2) clearly untenable for a casual visitor.

Bit late for this but that Virgin pride ad is some pandering shit. Zomg you mean the pilot is a woman????

Historically illiterate advert from these reliably (as clockwork) irritating cunts.

I would call this the first Christmas advert of the year, except they were actually showing this advert for Christmas 2023 before Christmas 2022. It's also a horrible advert.

Judi Dench FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF

morrisons trying to make easter dinner a thing. (it's like christmas dinner but with lamb and cheescake apparently)

Never heard of it.

google suggests that maybe it is a thing. jamie oliver has recipes, martha stewart has ideas. but it's never been a thing anywhere i've lived or eaten.

there have always been Easter meal promotions as long as i can remember

what i don't remember so much is every food advert using pathetic infantilising language featuring cuddly celebrity voices pouring on the sap

but surely such a storyteller...could only be a story himself??

I'm having an Easter Dinner but it's all just going to be chocolate.

^ this. the true meaning of easter.

Historically illiterate advert from these reliably (as clockwork) irritating cunts.

Glad I am not the only one annoyed by confused.com ads. Not just this one (which inventor of which clock? he used a sundial you FULE, etc etc) but the "why did we start keeping money in pigs?" one which ends with the pig vomming up the coins. It's coz cheap clay used for making money boxes was called "pygg" and eventually people took advantage of the pun to make them pig-shaped, BTW.

and the woman with the cactus for arms who wins the inflatable guitar?

the woman with the cactus for arms should probably not got out at all ever. Would make a good kids' book about celebrating difference, I guess. Cassandra's Cactus Arms.
