Annoying Adverts

I like the current Durex lubricant ad we have here. I like how it includes male female, and female female interaction. It would be nice to include male male but I guess that's a step too far at the moment.
 
The advert for Kentucky Fried Chicken making a big fat deal of crossing out/pixillating FINGER LICKING from their branding, because of coronavirus.
Nobody, but nobody eats that with a knife and fork. Ever. So unless they think all of their customers are filthy dirty bastards who rub their hands all over the floor and spit and snotter on their own fingers before they offer a random other person a bit of their chicken, what is the sodding point of the advert?
 
Every fucking gambling ad. I know the answer to the question but why are they allowed to persuade people to gamble? Particularly the ones stressing responsible gambling and Gambleaware. They know full well that's not going to dissuade an addicted gambler, which is the type they really profit from. Like telling people to jack up responsibly and stop when it stops being fun :mad:

Double like. I hate every single one of these ads. Not just for what they are and the misery they perpetuate, but they’re almost always shit ‘lads’ type of things. Ray Winston et al.

They should be banned.

I posted this on another thread.



I have this new drug. It's addictive and very expensive.

I still want to sell it to you though, despite knowing what a cunt of a thing it is.

So, don't take too many at a time,

Take a break off sometimes (if you can),

Put a limit on how many you buy

Keep a check on many hours straight you are necking them.

Due to this drug you can lose everything in your life, then your life itself.

I don't care really, I will mouth the platitudes, maybe even give a few bob to the Samaritans and GA, but please don't stop consuming.

Those 'harm reduction' gambling industries obscenities makes me want to stir up the populace, fire up the torches and sharpen the pitchforks, and march on Ladbrokes'. :mad:
 
The recent Starbucks ad is pissing me right off (other ads along similar lines are also cringe).

Of fucking course I want to see trans people represented across media including as actors in adverts, but Starbucks do not fucking care about the experience of trans or LGBTQ folks, they are only interested in selling coffee at ridiculous prices and making a vast profit. Them going on in their ads about names being important while featuring someone talking about choosing a new name (which I imagine must be a massive step in someones life) seems like they are fucking parasitically trying to use gender/trans/sexuality issues as a fucking marketing tool and it needs to fucking stop.

This isn't equality or acceptance, it is a fucking massive corporation trying to make money by pretending to understand "issues".

Fuck right off, you fuckbuckets and get your filthy moneygrabbing hands off peoples' gender and sexuality rights. It's just not on and the sooner people take this for the cynical money-generating bullshit that it is, the better. Names are more than something to write on the side of an overpriced fucking takeaway coffee cup.

(ETA: socialist bisexual non-binary who hates Starbucks even more since they started their trans-themed ad campaigns - this isn't the first one but it fucking needs to not happen like this, this isn't understanding or inclusion, it is cynically marketing a current "issue" in an attempt to get market approval and proft).

The BUPA ads, after most of the ad is targetting people with mental health issues. I thought it was for a national campaign or something, not some cunty private fucking healthcare business.

Oh, and those ones advertising 'click clack' laundry tabs, and how to close them so kiddies don't scoff them. 1) don't make something that looks so delicious to children, and 2) I can't fucking open the bastard things. End up ripping the whole lot off the top in one massive tantrum.

See, at first, that did my head in, but every time I watch it now, I see Snoop Dogg laughing all the way to the bank. He's got a proper smirk on.

thats where I'm at with snoop on this as well, just laughing at the advert. Fair play snoop, fair play you'll stick your name on any old shit and its not like you've done a decent record since the 90s.
He's even got his own weed brand now.

I don’t get the “clack” bit. Does the box make a double noise as in a click then a clack when it closes? If it does what’s a clack. All this time I thought I was mishearing the clack bit, because what’s a clack I thought.

Click lock would make more sense to me.

Can you tell that I use washing powder
 
On All4 at the moment you get the Colgate "smile" ad almost every break, it's just creepy. The farmer looks like he just buried his latest victim, the dad doesn't come across much better, like they did it together but he had to leave early to have a shower before the school run. Music makes it even worse

This, so much this. Anything allegedly childproof is usually also Epona-proof and it is fucking embarrassing that I cannot do laundry without getting the OH to open the fucking box for me.
 
I was trying to open a can of some industrial cleaner or other a few years ago and was being roundly defeated by it when the bloke who I was paying (paying him, mind) to do the work on the house said "yes it's childproof"

:mad:
