Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted January 23, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2016 Gambling adverts are spreading like a fucking plague on TV these days, they're everywhere, they're poisonous and to add insult they're always fucking terrible. Paddy Power do some moderately funny ones I suppose, but the hundred other online bookies, casinos and bingo sites trot out some utter shite. I still don't see any good reason why they should be allowed to advertise gambling on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 23, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2016 The fucking Ray Winstone ones are the most irritating. Fucking Mockney, tax-dodging cunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rule One Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) The latest Argos adverts piss me off good and proper. The lady voicing the advert doesn't know whether she wants to be shouty or wispy and the mixture of both grates especially if its on an unskipable youtube advert. Â Part of me wishes Argos sell shotguns when I hear it. Â Edit: The lady in question is Miquita Oliver, former T4 presenter. Now I know why I can't stand that voice.

Paid Members Bettencourt Posted January 23, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hive and the Just Eat ones have to be my most hated. The Match.com songs and Bet Victor ads also get a dishonourable mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undefeated Steak Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Brilliant post, Gus. The thing is, we all know that group of 'lads' living the Ladbrokes Life. Always sharing stuff from the SportLAD pages and complaining how they got screwed by a 94th minute goal on their 50p acca every week.

Ladiesman345 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The thing about the adverts for bookies is that they're so over-familiar. Trying to be your best mate but nicking your wallet at the same time. I work in a bookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Murtz Posted January 23, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2016 There's nothing worse than every fragrance advert ever. I don't even know what any of them really mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted January 23, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2016 Fragrance adverts are indeed woeful. The current one with a in his mid 50's Johnny Depp poncing about in a desert and wearing eyeliner is especially wanktastic. Â I don't want to see any middle aged blokes wearing eye liner unless they are appearing in Rocky Horror, or facing Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania. Â Anyway. Â TRADE POINT! TRADE POINT! COME ON LADS, GET THE VAN, TRADE POINT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted January 23, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2016 I actually don't mind perfume ads. It's hard to sell something you can't see or hear so they just go for glamorous nonsense which I agree can be silly but I'd rather watch that than nearly anything other ads consist of.

WyattSheepMask Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 There was one doing the rounds on radio Dry January/Dryathalon or whatever the fuck they're calling it. It's much in the vain of the Hive Heating ad, it's some pillock playing a ukulele spouting drivel. The are so many similarities, it has to be by the same ad agency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshC Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yeah, that one actually inspired me to drink more this month.  'Radio X' (rubbish name) is clogged up with a load of these things.  Is it the done thing in the industry to make the ads as annoying as possible? I get it in that it makes them memorable, but equally these ads actively put me off spending any more with the companies, so surely they're counterproductive?

Sphinx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Radio X just reminds me of Sage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Fucking hell, those Ladbrokes ones are awful. I watched one this morning, put me in a right shitty mood. Surely missing a trick by not rebranding themselves as Ladblokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
