Not sure if it should be mentioned in the Worst advert thread but the Maltesers advert with the disabled woman is interesting.
Worst advert on TV at the moment (Part 12)
88 of 162
The utterly over-used 'Trivago' ad. Funny how these 'price comparison' sites (such as Money Supermarket and uSwitch) have vast advertising budgets. Surely can't be because the companies who get top rankings are the ones who pay the most?
My illusions have been shattered...

I think that's Oak Furniture Land, recently featured in Rip Off Britain!

Yes That's the one, I haven't seen the whole of it yet, I just caught the last bit after turning over.
I thought it was good that a disabled person has been used in an advert.
There's always a risk it can come across contrived but that one seems good.

It is Britney. Both her & Kevs careers must be on the wane.
2 new ads that annoy me atm are the nationwide adverts that that have people talking for ages and made me think it was a cancer research advert at first.
The other is the switch to a current account? With a guy trying to sing the shaft theme song but sounding awful.

The Pampers one where they are actually discussing where the pee has gone!
We all know what nappys are for, don't want to hear them discussing the contents while I'm eating my dinner.

I hate whoever it is who owns the rights to that song to allow Freddie's voice to be used to sell furniture, it's just greedy and disrespectful to one of the finest vocalists ever.
Every ad about make up. The things they get these actors ( that's right, actors, we know they ain't real reactions from normal people, so stop making out that they are ) to say is really stupid. One of them put make up on and she said she felt like she could conquer the world.......who writes this crap ? If i ever seen anyone say such a stupid thing after putting on make up, i would just laugh at them.
I also can't stand that Get In Go Far apprenticeship ad, nobody likes their jobs as much as these people do. Ok, if you are doing something that you have always wanted to do then fair enough, but nobody get's that excited about getting up to go work in a frigging bank. And their stupid poses at the end is annoying too, why are they all standing like that ? The whole ad is load of crap.

92% of 63 women who were asked agree with you. 😉
Whilst on the subject of genres, I hate and despise all perfume ads, a lot of which seem to be cropping up now for some reason. I think they must view themselves as somehow aspirational and they spend a lot of money trying to convince us. Instead, to me, they come over as so ludicrous and self important that they verge on comedy.

"Truth? You can't handle the truth!"
"That's not even his line."

It is the real Britney Spears, terrible advert though.
Anyway the price comparison website ad with a grumpy Philip Glenister all but telling us he's pissed off at us moaning at energy prices and we should this effing site you effing morons!!!! Now eff off!!
Always winds me up for some reason.
The Morrisons' ad. where the young girl is feeling left out at her baby brother's celebration party. Granddad nips along to M's to buy her a bespoke cake. If I was that girl, I'd be demanding a DNA test when I was older.

It's going to get a lot worse as we near Christmas. Lots of pretentious, arty ads featuring Hollywood stars staring off into the middle distance and talking pseudo-intellectual gibberish coming up.
