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.

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.

 

Part of me wishes Argos sell shotguns when I hear it.

 

Edit: The lady in question is Miquita Oliver, former T4 presenter. Now I know why I can't stand that voice.

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.

 

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.

 

Anyway.

 

TRADE POINT! TRADE POINT! COME ON LADS, GET THE VAN, TRADE POINT!

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?
