lanky316 Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Aren't most of the Nationwide adverts involving struggling stand up comics or the like as well just to make them more irritating? I'm sure over time I've seen a few of the "man on the street" types turn up doing brief skits over the years. Quote
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted November 28, 2020 Awards Moderator Posted November 28, 2020 This Tesco “No Naughty List” Christmas ad is winding me up at the moment. Doesn’t matter what you did/didn’t do this year, it’s Christmas, treat yourself. They start with quite innocuous things like not managing to do maths when homeschooling, but it crosses a line when Santa admits he went away on holiday. Doesn’t matter, Santa, there’s no naughty list. You probably didn’t infect too many people with your international travel. I assume the extended version of the ad has chinmaskers, pro-statue protesters and people who are still having friends round every weekend. Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted November 28, 2020 Paid Members Posted November 28, 2020 If we’re going to re-visit the theme of awful adverts that remind us of the horrific pandemic instead of just selling us a product, let’s take a moment for Morrison’s fucking bobblehead Santa with a mask dashboard toy, Direct Line having Sue Perkins utter tripe about “life’s like a movie plot at the moment,” Richard Ayoade imploring us to embrace a “new different “ before nonsensically putting a mask on before boarding his bike, and worst of all BT with Idris Elba (or a soundalike) warning us “the intern” might be after our job if we’re not Zooming with perfect clarity. The fear is too real for some of us, you cunts. Although not so much of being sacked for weak internet ... but being asked back to the office. Also of note for current crap : the Pepsi Max ad is like a bunch of middle aged white marketing bods sat in a dusty boardroom decided to try and broaden their demographic by reading The Ladybird Book Of Rapping written in 1991. Should have gone the whole hog and had a bunch of kids in Reeboks and bum bags doing The Bartman. Quote
Wideload90 Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 Any company that produces advert that makes light of how shit this year has been can fuck off. Tesco is currently the worst. "I bought too many toilet rolls" LOL!!! Probably made by Tories. Quote
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted November 28, 2020 Paid Members Posted November 28, 2020 I actually like the Tesco 'no naughty list' adverts. I think they are the best of the Christmas ads I've seen so far this year. You can't expect any companies to be making Christmas ads this year without trying to offer some light for people at the end of a year like we've been through. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted November 28, 2020 Paid Members Posted November 28, 2020 What about the McDonald's advert with the breathy piano cover of Forever Young? Quote

Give us something traditional to take away from the doom and gloom. The last thing I want is a reminder of the dumpster fire this year has been. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 If I remember correctly, Wrestle Me! co-host Marc Haynes helped write the Tesco Christmas ad this year. Quote
Wideload90 Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 It's an old advert which has been replayed with a pre covid warning along the bottom. Those two hipster douche bag cunts butchering together in electric dreams with some acoustic flavouring to promote the teenage tipple of choice, Strongbow. It was shit then and it's even shitter amidst the pandemic. Gash. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 That fucking Facebook Portal advert. "Have you tried the rugby hold?" Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted June 8, 2021 Paid Members Posted June 8, 2021 Really loathe the trend of adverts trying to guilt trip meat eaters into going veggie to save the planet. Feels a bit fruitless when “Don’t murder animals” wasn’t enough deterrent. Sainsbury’s isn’t the first but it might be the worst. Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 I bet those Clifton Coffee people in that Microsoft Teams advert are a right bunch of boring cunts Quote
Paid Members Callum1993 Posted June 12, 2021 Paid Members Posted June 12, 2021 The Dominos advert with the Yodelling is my new pet hate. Feels like it’s never going to end. Quote
