    Coca-Cola adverts that tell me, "there's no such thing as a perfect Christmas, but there is such thing as a perfect moment". Just sod off with your false logic and stop spoiling my less-than perfect Christmas before it's even started.

    Theres an advert for Tik Tok Tarte tat-in thats is always on at the moment which I just don't understand,  I think Its something to do with dementia but It seems very obscure. I am probably just dense but does anyone get it.

    As soon as Christmas Day is out the way on come the barrage of charity adverts. Same every year.

    "Little Kuojo doesn't know what it's like to blink without his eyes bleeding acid whilst you, YOU, you fat bastard are laying there on the sofa stuffing sweets in your gob. If YOU don't give us £10 a week now he's going to live the rest of his short life in agony and IT's ALL YOUR FAULT YOU UNCARING BASTARD. And all for the price of a pint and a bag of pork scratchings, you ****. And while we're at it, what are you doing about these cats/dogs/donkeys/bears, etc, you lowlife scumbag."

    Bloke’s mum used to make tarte tatin but she’s got dementia now.
    Bloke gets recipe off tik tok and makes a tarte tatin like she used to make.
    He visits her but she’s a bit bewildered and confused.
    He gives her a piece and her eyes light up because it brings back some happy memories. 
    He’s very happy to have done something nice for her.
    The end.

    Fucking dreadful.
    I expect some prick with a topknot, 80’s glasses and wearing clothes too small for him and no socks is feeling very pleased with himself after coming up with that ghastly bollocks.

    The crying guy on the baked beans advert.

    It’s depressing and pointless.

    I really hated all of the John Lewis adverts on the radio. 

    Was always basically people saying that they "don't take the time to say how much they mean to them etc" but was so unbelievably cringey. Had to turn the radio down whenever they were on. One northern woman in particular going on about how "your words hit harder and your brew tastes better" etc.

    I believe I've heard a charity advert that asks for £29, that's right just £29.

    the Indeed adverts, alright once or twice, but on catch up on Channel 4, every break they come on,
    does my nut in.

    The ads I keep hearing for pet insurance that keep banging on about 'tailmates', just piss off and take your silly made up word with you.

    To be fair, it's not as bad as 'furbaby'

    100% this. Recently re-watched all 7 series of The West Wing on Channel 4 Online (or whatever it's called) and every. sodding. ad. break. it's the same bloody Indeed ads. 

    Didn't mind so much on another series when it was Sky TV adverts, because Michelle Keegan is absolutely stunning...

    Whats the one where some woman is going the full Tina Turner and singing "Simply the Best," while some feller seems to be constantly throwing mugs of tea over himself?.

    ...and why does it seem that everyone talking to camera about Funerals, Charity, .....whatever! in adverts, has to do it while holding a mug of tea?

    The cup of tea is there to trick you into believing that they're a friend - they must be a friend (or at least, friendly) because they're sharing a cup of tea with you. This is based on research that we're more likely to trust recommendations from friends than from experts. The alternative is that if they just talked straight to camera they'd come across more like a newsreader or, worse still, a salesman and then you'd be suspicious of them.

    Like most advertiser's little tricks, it will work with more people than not (and by that I mean people will be more receptive to the message, not that they'll necessarily rush out and buy), but not everyone will fall for it. And, as you know, when you notice it it just becomes annoying.

    During the ad breaks on Paramount+ you've got Ronaldo spuffing his load over how wonderful Saudi Arabia is. Nowt to do with the 100s of millions they're paying him of course.

    There was one very briefly on Sky Sports of a man and a woman playing acoustically to a crowd about a cremations company with the main hook being “way to go, way to go”

    Can’t believe they thought it was a good idea

    Just flipping the subject for a moment, anyone seen the Paddy Power ad with Curbs? It's brilliant!

    I hate betting companies but PP consistently knock it out the park with their ads and social media and having Curbs does make it a bit special.

    I hate ALL adverts. They can all fuck off. 

    I basically don’t really watch commercial TV. Channel 4 on occasion but turn over when the ads come on. I gladly pay TV licence it’s worth every penny.
