All the “Bond” ads during Homeland last night. Relentless. Now I will make a point of not buying any of their shit or watch a Bond film ever (cannot actually remember the products and never watch Bond films anyway).

I definately wont be buying an Aston Martin! :wink:

For me any “woman’s products” ad that features blue dye to demonstate absorbency. You’d think woman were squids!

Star wars cheese strings. Or the star wars subway one. I am sure there will be more star wars items to buy.

The You Are So MoneySuperMarket ad with the guy with the huge digitally enhanced butt. Not good.

Well, this won’t be making it to Southampton.

Yep awful, but was quite funny when they digitally shoved Redarseflapps head on it.

If this were my dad, I’d be worried…

Sadly I think we know people who do like to go see this.

Not annoying as such, but deeply creepy. Apparently, it is a real ad :lou_surprised:

Remember, EAT THE ICE CREAM

Any add for tampons and sanitary towels. I may be a man, but even I know that the menstrual flow is not blue.

Hadn’t seen this thread seeing as I hadn’t heard of the site back in 2015, so thanks @bathsaint & @sadoldgit - the new Sotonians caped crusaders / super heroes??

Anyway, rarely watch live tv but have a few days off and switched it on for daytime tv.

Ffs it’s aimed at anyone in God’s waiting room. Everything is aimed at 50+, but all the actors are at least 20 years older than that. Is life over once you hit 50 and you mysteriously age 20 years?!

Don’t even start me on the life assurance adds to help pay for your funeral and to leave a little for those left behind.

Especially don’t mention Parkinson, reduced to a life assurance salesman in his declining years.

Might go on one of those European riverboat cruises, assuming we don’t get banned from Europe after Brexit…!!!

Fuck why did I read this thread

No one to blame but yourself for what followed.

Everyone else is at work, in education, homeless or soon to be made homeless.

, but all the actors are at least 20 years older than that. Is life over once you hit 50 and you mysteriously age 20 years?!

No, don’t worry, it’s not over until they have no more use for you, or you turn daytime tv on(whichever comes first) :lou_facepalm_2:

You’ll be dead, so not your problem. Have told my family to do organ donation first(anything they want), medical science(again anything), then dump my carcass somewhere wild animals can have a bite to eat(you know something like a Mongolian sky burial) if they can’t be bothered, the bin is fine with me.

Especially don’t mention Parkinson, reduced to a life assurance salesman in his declining years.

He’ll be dead soon enough. You’ll have the last laugh.

You deserve daytime tv.

:lou_angry:

Because it’s better than daytime tv.

Might as well go back to work Cob :lou_lol:

Pretty much . I thought there was a thread on this but couldn’t be bothered to find it. Lucky for everyone else as I’d be on here writing about all the annoying adverts.

Even The True Geordie has succumbed to adverts half way through his podcast advert for Philippine baby milk formula ?

…but there were some good ones…

Any McDs ads, because even if you don’t watch them there’s that fuckin’ irritating whistled end that says “You’ve just been McDed”…I wouldn’t eat that shit even if I was starving. :lou_angry:

You spend 28 days offshore and when you arrive back on the beach a Golden Arches restuarant is there you will eat it

These old Chas&Dave beer adverts always brought a smile to the face.
