Awful adverts on TV at the moment...

£2k for the bike and then a reocurring £50 a month for membership! Get to strawberry float with that gooseberry fool.

Yeah but just imagine being able to post about it every day on social media with a high angle shot of you post-bike ride from your iPhone, it's totally worth it #oksosmashedit

We were talking about Peloton recently, I can't actually believe it's a viable business model at that pricing, it's ridiculous :lol:

£2K clothes horse

His own decisions!

At least Virgin Media are no longer taking a massive dump on Carly Rae Jepsen.

"Hi, Philip Schofield here..."

We Buy Any Car bombarding radio and TV.

Could be worse, James Corden used to do those adverts....

That Domino's ad. "the kids are gonna be like", "Sarah's gonna be like" - and to top it off, the slogan "we got this". It's damning indictment of the americanisation of our society neatly condensed into 15 seconds.

Relax, it’s Domino’s is the slogan I always remember. All downhill when they binned off The Simpsons (which if I recall they had to by law).

There's an advert on at the moment for Princes tuna, and it's one where they try and come across as eco-friendly (doesn't work), but that's not what's annoying - it starts with "we're always there for you, but we want to be there for the planet too".

You're always there for me? What? You sell tins of tuna, you're not a life insurance policy, what do you mean you're always there for me? Bizarre choice of words and really annoyed me for some reason :lol:

I need to get out more.

Aren’t Princes also renowned for their mechanically reclaimed hot dogs. :dread:

A lot of companies have been trying the whole 'we care about you' shtick over this last year or so, desperate to tell us how much they care for us despite all them doing is selling oven chips or whatever. McVitie's is the worst - the guy's voice does my head in.

Speaking of annoying voices, that new Vimto one really boils my piss.

Reminds me of a Kellogg's ad ages ago with the slogan "we don't make cereals for anyone else" - wow just for me eh? A billion-dollar empire created just to serve my needs.

Kelloggs are well known for their legendary ads...

Cheesy but not as bad as the rap Frosties ad from the early 90s.

"delicious, dazzling, light, they're kicking! Try 'em kids, your lips you'll be licking!"

Then there was the Fruit & Fibre ad in the 80s with Ross Kemp.
