Agreed Absolutely.
And why is there always an inane grinning vulture waiting at the door to greet customers on these adverts....it would scare me away.
Just give a decent rate of savings interest.
Agreed on all that. For the vulture, it's like when you go looking for something in a store and want to browse. Someone always comes along asking if I need help. I feel like saying "Piss off! If I need help, I'LL ASK YOU!!!!"
Halifax have people singing, or champion supposed individuals, while Nationwide and Co-op have sickly sweet voices making you want to vomit, respectively saying, "Nationwide - on your side" and "Co-operative - Here for you, for life"
AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
BIB: At least it's not "Gud with fud" :D You're right though, all bank ads are sickeningly patronising.
Just seen yet another patronising Barclays Lifeskills advert.
This time its yet another incoherent teenager basically telling us that how we dress for an interview can influence the impression we make on the potential employer - obviously they say this in the most insulting and patronising way possible.
What will be the next lifeskills lesson. I'm guessing it will be something like thing:-
Teenager in static camera shot.
Hey, if you are lucky enough to get a job, then do you want to make sure you're still alive to turn up for work?
Then don't forget to breathe!
If you know someone who has difficulty breathing then tell them about lifeskill.
Teenager pulls gormless, patronising face as screen fades to the Barclays Lifeskills website graphic.

I HATE them. I recently had two job interviews, I "erm"d a fair bit (like any normal human being in a stressful situation) and didn't maintain creepy, permanent eye contact - got offered both jobs.
I don't need the advice of a stupid, under skilled, over opinionated, under employed middle class child, thank you very much. From a bank, no less! Almost as if Bob Diamond didn't exist, the hypocritical scum
Can all those celeb women like Denise Van Outen and Nicole Scherzinger stop doing those awful yoghurt adverts please.
The one with Denise "breaking up" with her yoghurt is particularly distressing.
I've seen another of those incredibly annoying ads where they take an upbeat song and bring it down to a twee, barely sung whisper.
This time they've destroyed That's Entertainment by The Jam.
I'd love to hear what Paul Weller thinks of this arrangement.
EDIT: Seems a few posters above me can't stand it either.
Haig Club whiskey ad with that vile tattooed chav Beckham, it just screams prentious shite and I have to say I have tasted far better blends than this bland product.

Bloody awful 'version'
It sounds like professional squeaky voice Cerys Mathews.

He's probably rubbing his hands, laughing all the way to the bank !

I hate that Irwin Mitchell ad, with the Dad who seems to start hating his daughter when he got injured. "Call us or else you'll reject your own children". Appalling message.

Yes...that's all that the advert is about basically

F*** off Barclays.

I thought it was Audi having a pop at the Jaguar ad with all the British actors in it.

Vile advert, vile product.

Instant mute.
Modfather, WHY!!!!
He's probably rubbing his hands, laughing all the way to the bank !
Nicole Shit-singer
Why did the car ad need the same song as the Ikea ad?
I get the sentiment but that advert is so weirdly done
Need a bit more info than "the car ad"
