Oh she's saying "Ben" not "then"?!

Can the trainers actually see and hear the people on the bike?


Not on the subscription level I'm on :x

I'm assuming so, although it may just be at a names on a list level and they just pretend. It'd be dick pic uno all over again otherwise.

Did you ever see that TV roulette thing ITV used to put on during the graveyard shift? They'd just pick a couple of winning usernames and maybe a new player in between spins and give them a shout out. I imagine it's like that but with more abs.

Not sure I follow - they would still just release all the balls into the street, only the cameras would be better nowadays.

I think he's talking about this




I wondered why it goes to gooseberry fool on my tv when people use confetti. Now I know.

That new Dominos ad with the yodelling, ear splittingly awful.

Also, there's another toe curling Verisure house alarms ad doing the rounds.

Just seen the rebranded Uncle Ben's ad.

Can someone please explain how getting rid of the titular uncle is promoting 'inclusivity'?

I cant actually believe it took them so long to change it.

The new Domino's advert is such annoyance. Think I'll buy pizza elsewhere.

That was very informative.

I get it now, the black mascot(s) were basically saying "slavery is still here" .

Definitely time to get rid then.

Two particularly shite adverts doing the rounds are the moment.

First is the latest Lynx Africa advert. The guy's got an incredibly punchable face, and the music is probably one of the worst songs I've ever heard. Instant changing of the channel when this one comes on.

Second is the Deliveroo one with some crap song about different foods. Instant mute for that one.

Loads of adverts at the moment are seemingly competing for having the worst music possible. The latest Royal Navy one, the Coke advert, the Apple privacy one, and the two I mentioned above. Genuinely awful, all of them.

And there was an AirBnB advert on earlier that's one of the lowest effort adverts I've ever seen. A horrible cover version of Song 2, and literally just a slide show of a few crap photos. Guess they got the work experience kid to put that one together.

I've seen other ads in that series with even worse songs used.

I hate them all equally.

But not as much as the Halifax ad with the Oasis song.

The LG advert with their version of 'It's a Hard Knock Life' is the current worst song on TV. I'm not sure if even a single line actually fits.

I'm sorry to report that there has been a fresh outbreak of dreadful poetry from nationwide.

Such pretentious bollocks.

The new McDonald's advert which just consists of different snippets of people laughing. For 30 / 45 seconds.

I've never once felt like laughing when having a McDonald's

There's a wine advert that keeps popping up, where they just show random stuff like some posh twat cycling, say it's brave or something, then show a bottle of red wine. What a load of bollocks.
