    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?

    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.

    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.

    Whilst listening to a podcast this morning another advert where the narrator speaks with an accent, is clearly understandable, but names the product with a pronunciation thats sounds stupid.
    She pronounced it as Toe-Tail. Where I come from it barely has one T in it.

    The Black Friday Amazon one where the bloke has been in the pantry for 20 minutes looking for the piccalilli
    who the fuck has a pantry 
    who the fuck keeps piccalilli in a separate jar
    And then when he comes out there’s just cakes on the table, who the fuck wants piccalilli with fairy cakes

    An aside, been getting a lot of retro 70's & 80's christmas advert compilations coming up on my youtube suggestions, some of them bring back great memories, TV has come a long way, shocking graphics and production.

    Danny Dyer one about Black Friday deals, seems to appear every ad break on Sky. 

    Assume it will stop now?

    The over use of Christmas adverts seems unnecessary to me,  we know it's Christmas and we know where our money will be spent I would assume.

    The national lottery ad , it could be you ! With a arrow pointing to someone on a golf course with the words "real winner" .... Really ! Because I'm pretty sure that's the fella who used to be in EastEnders

    The radio one for cheaper energy or something where the bloke does a baby mouse voice. Beyond cringe.

    “Simplicity cremations. Way to go, way to go.” Sung by a folk duo in concert. Makes me heave.

    It’s not. It’s just an east London Essexy type guy who won. Gonna guess he was a cab driver!

    Wife and I have signed up for the bung in the oven.  Think it is a good idea. But wholeheartedly agree the adverts are shite.

    Just heard him on the radio, he says 'Danny Dyer here' which sounds like Danny Diarrhoea which sums it up nicely.

    I hate all adverts full stop and I hate any gambling adverts fuller stop. 
    But there is presently a gambling advert from some scummy life wrecking company on Sky Sports with, I think, two former footballers in a car park saying “do you want to bet, no do you want to bet”, making it even more like a harmless school playground activity.
    I think one of them could be Mickey Thomas ( the Welsh one) but no idea who the other guy is. Anyone?

    There is an appalling radio advert for Bluewater, with I think Joanna Lumley, saying that she is going to take some Turkeys to Bluewater for a day out to show them the sights- sick.

    Like you I detest gambling, not only the social harm caused but the harm inflicted on the animals. 
    Horse are regularly injured then euthanised, Greyhounds are ruthlessly destroyed once their short racing careers are over.
