Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up. (Vol 2)

[Strangely Brown]

Any advert for Currys. Not because of the stupid things they make the fake sales people to do but because of the ridiculous cadence and intonations of the MLE accents on the voiceovers... innit. It's worse than the stupid cow on the Omaze house raffles and that's saying something.

Back when ad makers had humour and creative skills, instead of ads full of woke, multicultural people breaking into a song and dance for no reason, and people trying to speak like black gangsters.

That is absolutely brilliant, as is the ASA's response to the dimwits who complained about it.

"Who said?" As the opening to so many adverts now.

Advertising agencies are so lazy and unoriginal. A theme develops and becomes the current thing, and they all jump on the bandwagon, no matter how played out.

Just fk off with your "Who said?"

"Smell finer than the finest fragrances."

WTF? That makes no logical sense whatsoever.

And in the same vein, another radio ad: "Everybody's talking about triple glazing!"

No. Nobody's "talking about triple glazing" except some twonk in an advertising agency who's run out of ideas.

Vogue Williams spouting how she found Fairy... No you didn't, an agency wafted some money under your nose & you snatched it with both hands.

That bloody holiday advert with the screaming bint singing something loudly for the first second of the ad, TUI I think. Bloody thing makes me jump off the sofa whenever it comes on.

One of my worst adverts and I have to mute tv everytime it is on. I love the "win/win" joke. The only ones winning are her and the ad agency.

I'm nominating Dr Raj / Ranj for the celebrity dire acting award... so wooden that he makes Beckham look good.

Best advert in the world was the Peugeot 205 GTi advert where it gets shot down by a Mirage jet then clobbered by a C130 while driving across a frozen lake (and a close second is the Audi R8 V10 on the dyno)

Bring back proper car ads please

Just seen a rather good one for a change, on Sky Sports;
A Viagra one where a woman is on a boring zoom call, pops a pill and knocks a quick one out with the camera pointed away.

Free trial auto renews after 14 days. Normally £14.45 a month.

Great, so it's free forever more according to the former and the latter confirms it.

Find my past or Ancestors or something.

Not sure what it's like now but I needed Ancestry for a month, filled in all my research and they auto-renewed and it was a telephone call required to stop them stealing my money.

They say that the free trial auto renews after 14 days, which means that the free trial just keeps going, renewing every 14 days. What I think they mean is that the free trial expires after 14 days and then you pay the normal rate.
