Annoying Adverts 2016

Not so much annoying as truly bizarre. And not an advert so much as an entire company, not starting a new thread though. Encountered on one of the Welcome break service stations northbound on the M1 (not my pic):

'Caution: furious tossing in progress'. Fast food start up called 'Tossed', their founder describes himself (on their website which I will refrain from linking to) as 'top tosser'.

We've had em in london for ages and yes, they are irritating.
 
The only thing that surpasses the shitness of the trailer for Lip Sync Battle UK on Channel 5 is the concept of the actual program.
 
The annoying tenor cunt is back on the GoCompfuckingcare ads. Clearly their getting rid of him last year didn't quite work. I personally would go out of my way to boycott the service on general principle, but perhaps others will be more likely to use it even if they hate ads. Which of course is the whole point of it.
 
Sadly, it is the way the future is going

Its a sad ithat this is in fact a wish fulfillment advert.The desire to be a viral.
Modern society now had the fantasy that their mobile phone might inadvertently make you loved and famous. And so should be switched on to record whenever anything happens.
I say inadvertently as we are supposed to like them more for the fact that they didn't post the viral vid, she generously shared it with someone who asked for a copy, who we are supposed to believe is the first link in the viral chain. This makes the whole thing purer rather than them seeking the attention and suing people for a cut of the merch profits.
 
Car Insurance robot thing motherfucker, now with annoying friends.
This does my head in everytime - makes me want to damage things.

However I do like the Cheapflights one just for the sight of the lovely Jacob Tomuri throwing himself down flights of stairs etc
 
current telly advert with bronski beat's 'smalltown boy' as music.

wtf has a song about a gay teenager leaving homophobic home town got to do with selling sofas?

That's a whole thread in itself. See also the Only Ones' paean to smack "Another girl, another planet" used to flog mobile phones, among many others. :(
 
can't remember who- think it was car scum- used the opening lyrics of Kinks Shangri-la for their ad. I was fucking furious. And it didn't even last long enough to kick into the jangly psychadelia bits

Indeed. Can't think of any examples offhand, but the Kinks seem a particular favourite of ad men going for a lazy "classic" feel.
 
All the 50-80 funeral expense saving plans are really grating. I haven't looked at the small print since I'm too young and I wouldn't consider them anyway, but they come across as predatory and I suspect poor value for money if one isn't careful.

On a semi-related note, the Park Xmas saving plan can fuck off as well.
 
What does it actually mean to "Marvin Gaye and get it on" and what does that actually have to do with a car?

Every time this advert is on I find myself debating this and it's a waste of my mental energy.
