Annoying Adverts

[gentlegreen]

Here's a sort of accurately targetted advert - and advert for a beehive on a beekeeping video ...

... except the "Flow" hive is frowned upon by a lot of beekeepers as a step too far ...




Whenever I watch "Jesus as myth" videos recently, I get adverts for Hebrew New Testaments .

The casino.com advert is so low intellectual budget - I find it hilarious for some reason.

It tries to push the multicultural, any sexuality angle as a way to say that they will happily take anyone's money. So ham fisted and shallow.

"Abdominal discomfort" ?
She means FARTING ...

Daisy, daisy, daisy, daisy, daisy

Just fuck off

Those toads dancing to Can't get you out of my head. They* probably thought it would be amusing. It isn't



*Not the toads, the ad agency

I was called a miserable bastard because I absolutely detest that advert. But its funny they said. No. It. Fucking. Isn't

Not seen the ad. But I share your pain

It seems too contrived, like they were trying to create something to go viral.

I'm probably overthinking it

The reworked Peleton advert is really annoying. Too many smiley, smiley skinny people being hectored by a video presenter.

All the peleton adverts freak me out - but then I've never been physically motivated through being in a team - though I hope by the summer I may get back into group cycle rides with other wrinklies ...

It's been on a while, so I'm surprised the car ad with Robert De Niro in hasn't been mentioned on this thread. Not only is it based solely around a very weak pun; you've also got to wonder why someone of his standing does it.

WTAF ?

Is that an online ad? What is in your browsing history to inspire that?

Which one of you guys helped write the new Santander Advert, the one with the virtual Ant and Dec?

Cos "Grab yourself a virtual hobnob" must have come from someone here...

The Covid-related adverts are pissing me off at the moment - like the lethal UV room steriliser (with proximity cutout to save cats and children who enter while it's on ..
At least on Facebook you can report or comment on them, not so on Youtube.

Amazon have started some ads based on their environmental credentials, focusing on their electric delivery vehicles, rather than their business model of rampant consumerism.

 

[savoloysam]

Any advert jumping on Covid and lock down as their USP.

Go ahead, kill yourselves.

 

[gentlegreen]

And another covid advert. I made sure to stuff the comments with helpful reminders about how to actually deal with the threat, plus liberal quantities of :- #COVID

Possibly worst of all are those ads for Shell and Amazon preaching how we should all follow their lead and become environmentally responsible. They need to be actually illegal.

I have a crush on the smiley woman on that advert

I dislike these adverts too but haven't they always been around? I don't see the covid Link other than they are maybe pushing them more at the moment?

I feel certain they know exactly what they're doing.

There's a log in the park covered in turkey tail fungi I could grind up and sell online in capsule form...

that's only preventative for bird flu

A recipe box ad with the enola gay synth, seems incongruous and gets the song stuck in my head every time. Nothing says dinner time like remembering the first nuclear bomb ever dropped in anger.

 

[campanula]

Most of them (TV ads) , get up my nose...but yep, DotCommunist, there is one of those foodie ads where I would do physical violence to the entire fucking family just to wipe their wholesome smirks off their faces...(feeling out of sorts today).

Apparently YouTube is now serving up porn ads:



The porn ad is censored, but YouTube's TOS doesn't make allowances for that! The hypocrisy of YouTube is laid bare; demonetising content creators for stupid reasons like swearing, while allowing literal smut to be advertised on their platform.

I take little notice of adverts. Mrs Tag has been trying to point out the new Brut add to me with Vinnie Jones. It's very rude she says...sorry it's a bit poor but I'm sure you will understand

 

[Espresso]

Mrs hash tag is right.
Every time I see that advert I am surprised it was approved for daytime telly.

 

[hash tag]

I really hadn't noticed it until she pointed it out
