Adverts you just can't stand

Beagle Street. Dough headed bloke forced to get life insurance immediately by his smart ass Bint because her mate "Gemma" said they were good.

Normally it's a white* middle-class male doing something utterly stupid, while the more intelligent wife** and daughter look on with all the 'right' answers.

*as they obviously wouldn't want to be accused of ridiculing anybody else

** with the constant ridicule of hapless men this truly is the misandristic age.

Yup. I think it's actually belittling of women, while purporting to be the opposite. It's as though they need a helping hand or something.

Their products are now banned from this house. She has been warned not to buy ant Nivea products - plenty of alteratives.

Seriously, I think the fact that it's clear that most adverts and most shops are aimed at women, it suggests that these giant corporations know that they're easy to extract money from. The fact that this strategy clearly pays dividends doesn't exactly back up the feminism rationale.

Whenever I see a cringeworthy ad -- and there are countless; ad companies' imaginations seem to be running on empty -- I wonder if the people in them see them later on TV and are thoroughly embarrassed.

A lot of women are easily fooled then. Don't tell head office I said that.

Coming dear!

I'd put a laughing emoji here, but for some reason they're all greyed out today. What's going on @GrandOldTeam?

It's that gimp with the daft bins who does the doorbell camera advert as well, "I can see you looking through my windows and I would like you to leave my property now"

I would not tire of punching him repeatedly in his smug hipster grid for the rest of eternity, and by the way as if you wouldn't have life insurance if you'd just got a mortgage duh

The majority of adverts are awful these days imo.

That Mc Cain's 'We Are Family' chip advert, voiced by Ricky Tomlinson.

I'm firmly on the left, but this is so self satisfied and smug, as every variant of parents and family are displayed.

I think its wonderful that frozen chips are the answer to lifes ills,bullied because your gay? Eat McCains,racially abused? Mc Cains can fix that for you,struggling because of benefit sanctions? Reach into that freezer and your woes will vanish with a jacket potato

No imagination required to be make adverts these days, I remember watching an Everton game in the 80's it was live on a Sunday afternoon and this advert made its debut, room was howling laughing.



Loved the old Carling adverts back in the day

Those one's for erectile dysfunction. (whatever this means?)
