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.

The radio ad a few months ago for her & Spencer's podcast was equally as irritating! (I had to look him up, turns out he was in Made In Chelsea)

I don't mind anonymous actors talking bks in ads, but celebrities telling obvious lies about products they do not use, or have to be bribed to use, is beyond irritating!

There's one that is on quite often that has some ste mumble rap song that sounds like the rapper is having a stroke, it's really annoying. It's annoying me even more now that I can't remember what it's for!

Lucozade?

Maybe it is not the fault of the ad company? Maybe the company execs who sign off this rubbish need a good shaking up and a brain test

[hidetheelephants]

Indeed. Accountants do not run and who the fk is going to employ one who is habitually late?

Advertising facts:-

1. I've NEVER bought anything as the result of watching a TV ad
2. Hors de combat a while ago due to a fall while walking the woof, I was confined to the settee and watched an excessive amount of TV. According to AD Land, every ad involving people has to have a compulsory selection of race and gender. It doesn't, of course, represent the correct percentages of that in real life.

[Mercdriver]

Adverts for sport, not interested even gave up on F1, adverts for political programmes and party political broadcasts, the product adverts are the least of the problems.

Might have to go to a and e to have tv removed from my foot

One on day time TV for gastric band surgery that starts off by saying 'dieting's hard'

Is it ?? What about a healthy and active life style? No, no we don't do that!! It's not like a gastric band can't be beaten anyway. People have done it and ended up how they were before.

Humans have become so lazy... Any product that promotes how to be even lazier really annoys me.

EG: Electric curtains, FFS... at least opening & shutting them is a bit of exercise.

As much as I hate most of these adverts, they are way better than what I've seen recently in the USA...
The majority of adverts are for drugs for some medical conditions that you never knew existed, but apparently a shed load of people have...
I swear, the majority of that country are on some sort of drugs, or at the very least, on a corn syrup high.

I enjoy their requirement to list side-affects on the ad.
I think I saw one that said ‘May cause death’ once

What are the "get rid of my big bulky pee bag" adverts like ?

The catheter cowboy, as featured by Last Week Tonight, is quite an eye opener to the wild west of US medical advertising.

Meta Quest.

Guy can't build his baby's crib so has to become Tony Stark and use augmented reality to do it.

Seriously?

Thank you very much.

The last time I was watching TV in the USA, an advert for some sort of treatment for the "diabetes and obesity issues faced by many people" (that also had about ten minutes of speedily-read side effects!) was immediately followed by an advert for a pizza chain advertising two 35" pizzas and a 40" garlic bread for a 5 dollars, or something similar.

The irony made me chuckle.

"Budweiser - the official beer of England"

I'm sorry, WHAT?

Now, I know your average kickball fan wouldn't know the difference between a pint of Budweiser and a pint of chilled monkey's piss, but surely we could have come up with a dreadful pint of crap lager that hails from England to represent the Eng-er-land team?

Kickball.

22 grown men shepherding an inflated bag into outdoor cupboards?

It's dull as hell.

And you can use the same descriptor for pretty much anything. Rugby: 30 men doing the above. F1: 22 men driving in circles for two hours. Le Mans: bunch of men driving in circles for a whole day. Rallying: bunch of men driving across country. Etc, etc, etc. Most of it is also dull as hell too, especially rugby and F1.

Mrs. Doyle:

Football, football, football, football, football, football, football, football, football... what you men see in it, I don't know. [scoffs] A load of men kicking a bit of leather around a field... [laughs] You men, the things you think are "great fun". Like going to the films, a load of men sitting around looking at films! And rollercoasters, a load of men in a rollercoaster going up and down on a big metal track! And sailing, a load of men in a big boat floating around in the sea! And shouting, a load of men going around shouting! And so forth.
