I’m sure it must have been mentioned on this thread before but I can’t be bothered to trawl through it but the bingo advert ( don’t know the name of the company) at every break on The Chase is so annoying. Not funny . Makes very little sense . Winds me up something rotten . 

They are truly awful. My wife hates them but only because I shout at the telly when they come on.

The current advert that is boiling my piss up nicely is the one for Zabel credit card, paint a idiot blue, stick some deeley boppers on his head, make him talk funny and pretend hes in a spacecraft. What has this to do with a crappy credit card?

Maybe the APR is astronomical?

The new Alzheimers Society ad. Not as bad as the last one, but the last thing I want my wife hearing is that mother character saying "...I have spoilt her life" whilst she's out getting some much needed respite from caring for her own mum. I appreciate the nature of the illness means that promoting their work without causing unnecessary upset is a difficult line to tread, but they always seem to go over it.

When you look at the general standard of ads these days it makes you  wonder if advertising agencies are used any more.

It's become a committee sport. Every piece of work goes through multiple rounds of feedback with a plethora of 'internal stakeholders' from different departments, each with their own agenda, and most with no concept of what the public would like or respond to. Great ideas are either rejected or slowly trampled into braindead mush.

You cant imagine anyone making the Tango face slap now, and its not even that old.

I would love to see the Cadbury's Gorilla ad being pitched now. 

'Sorry... It's just a gorilla... playing the drums? Is this a joke?'

'We need to show our consumers enjoying the product.'

'Our target market won't know this song. Let's change it to Taylor Swift. But we can't afford the rights.' 

'What if instead of a gorilla, it's a Gen Z person, and they enjoy the chocolate so much that they play the drums better.'

'Have you tested this in China?'

Got a real problem with these crappy adverts you get on afternoon telly "announcing" a new special coin from the London Mint or similar, promoted by a "trusted" old news reader, only legal tender in Tristan De Cunha or Gibraltar, but limited to only 4999 coins for a special price of £79.99, with a "sovereign" thats actually smaller than a 5p piece. Blatant bare faced robbery targeted at stupid people.
