Annoying Adverts 2016

Oaktree Mobility (motorised bendy beds) "I was diagnosed with heart failure...now thanks to oaktree mobility I don't have to worry about swollen ankles..."
 
The tone of James Corden's voice in that Disney Life advert. It's pretty impressive, actually. With the pitch of his voive, he's somehow managed to perfectly replicate the sound of hundreds and thousands of banknotes, being dropped on a doorstep.
 
The Philadelphia advert with the two angels and one is going out on a date is supposed to be all light hearted, but for me has some dark undertones.

I just think of the man still on earth, devastated because he lost his wife and daughter - who were his whole family and everyone he truly cared about - in a horrific car accident, which also left him paralysed from the waist down. Now he has a crippling drink problem and is basically destitute, crying every day and night over the guilt that he was the only one that survived. Now his wife is living it up in heaven, with all the Philadelphia she wants and off on dates with Heath Ledger or David Bowie. Maybe she doesn't even remember her previous life and her grieving husband, maybe you don't remember that when you go to heaven.
 
there was one that I could just hear from the kitchen. Horrible childrens crying, sombre voice and that grating sound you can't ignore. 'What cunts used crying kids on an advert' thinks I' blatant shite' I'm thinking as I go to the living room thinking I've every mind to make a complai.....oh its save the children charity. Fair took the wind of indignance out of my sails
 
Postcode lottery advert with the priest or vicar or whatever he is (wearing dog collar and crucifix).

Something grates in me at a religious representative encouraging people to gamble with such enthusiasm.
 
Anything Plusnet related, those f**kers were useless, one time I phoned their tech support when my broadband was down and their automated tel msg service just repeated the message 'If you have a problem with your broadband please got to our website www.plusnet.com' - :mad: you bunch of f**king idiots!

If you go to the website you get the full back story...

He died 4 years before them of a heart attack and went straight to hell for preferring Dairylee over Philadelphia.
That why they are own their own now after dying in a car crash together.
 
How about that woman who worried about being beach ready before jumping into a pool at a party.
What would we do without razors!!!
 
The Deezer ad with everything that rhymes with Deezer annoys me to the point I want to switch off to and never turn it back on again ever!
 
That Lloyds bank advert with a horse in every shot while melancholy music plays trying to tug on your heart-strings....No, you're a fucking bank!! You are evil..fuck off! :mad:
 
It's a YouTube ad not a TV one but KitKat presents Crossy Road... Never made the end but as far as I can tell it's a couple of hit-the-youth-demographic personality vacuums playing fucking Frogger. Which is exciting, apparently.

May be a twist ending I've missed though, hope so.
 
This has been brutally irritating on my train to work for several weeks now:

Kenco. The one with the tattoo of a gun on a hand. Buy our coffee and stop gang warfare or something?
 
Not TV, this is a corporate promo video. I have a meeting with this lot later, I hope their spiel isn't this combination of OTT meaninglessly vague hype.
