The Hive advert is back! I repeat, the Hive advert is back!
Yes, control your heating when you're out! And your heating is off, anyway because you're not there to bloody use it!!

As a Queen fan, I'm now fed up of hearing their songs on umpteen different adverts.
I never thought I'd see the day when I muted their songs.
Oh, don't stop them now...

The Zalando ad?.

If there is another ad so far up its own backside as that one, I haven't seen it. Pretentious doesn't begin to describe it.

I cant stand the Kevin Bacon advert where he is dressed as Britney Spears. Seriously .... he is killing his career.
Setiously, Bernie Madoff nearly left him broke. That's why he is doing them.

the Moon River Galaxy ad has outstayed its welcome
Five years ago.

The Lidli ad where the idiot bloke is worried that the seafood come from a ditch

Should he be walking free if he thinks that
I said this weeks ago, what a procession of patronising middle class snobs.

The Grattan ad with the music that is basically an obvious, blatant copy of The Rembrandts' song, and Friends theme tune, I'll Be There For You, with one or two subtle changes.
Which was bad enough the first time round.

I hate the Jack Whitehall ads. So unfunny.
I have tried to watch his stand up. Honestly, its pitiful.

Could somebody tell me if its cold on Ryan Air flights, because the two women in their latest advert are sat in their seats with their coats on, zipped right up to their chins.
I know Ryan Air are renowned for their cost cutting and screw the customer attitudes, but surely they heat their planes.

I really despise that Betsafe woman on Dave in the evenings.

If there was some humour to the sponsorship ads then maybe I'd weather the storm everytime she appears but I have to change channel immediately because she is such a patronising cow.

I would love to put her, the Go Compare slob and the Kardashian-arsed Money Supermarket "men" into a vat of extremely strong acid and televise that.

I'd throw in some meerkats too.

Er .. Men being treated like shit by woman. I thought I made that clear in my post.
If you'd made it clear I wouldn't have had to ask, would I? You could just as easily have approved of the things you described as disapproved!

Men have been treated as milksops and punching bags in ads for decades. Anyone remember 'course you can, Malcolm'? Evidently the ASA has a special interpretation of its own rules reserved for this kind of ad. C'est la vie (you'll notice it's a feminine noun!)

AWFUL stupid hideous advert.

Who the hell would NEED to switch on their heating when they're away from home? Just turn it on when you get in!
And sit in your coat for half an hour while it gets the temperature up!? No ta. Most heating systems are attached to a timer though so it is odd that they chose heating as their showpiece.

But that's the point isn't it? It's reverse psychology (or at least that's the only explanation I can find for it). You're supposed to get so fed up with her crowing about how your money is funding everything that you put an 'expert' bet on in order to show her who's the real master as you rake in the cash. Nobody suffers more from the delusion of expertise than gamblers, after all! How this fits in with the responsible gambling message, on the other, is a bit of a mystery.

That might well be the case but personally if I was going to put on a bet it would not be through Betsafe because their ads put me off their company.

I might not throw the meerkats into the acid bath though, I'd put them through a mincer instead. Horrible ratty creatures.

EasyJet and the incomprehensible Freederrm ad.

Your absolutlely right. A couple of years back this betting company decided to use the 'honest' approached and had an advert starring the same woman as the Dave sponser clips.

In the orginal advert she walks around a football game, a casino & a race course going on about how the great and educated gambler has systems and knowlegde to 'beat the house'. She then back to her office and admits that she is the house and has just make x amount that day and that all gamblers are pretty much mugs. She then lays down a challenge which went something like:-

If you think you can beat me, then go ahead, try your luck.

I did try to find the advert on youtube, but it seems to have been taken down. Possible because it may have, as you said, gone against the current industry voluntary "When the Fun Stops, Stop" responsible gambling campaign.

The guys in shorts and false bums. Can't stand that advert.

I don't even understand their slogan.... " you're so money ...." something.

Oh I hate that.

Also, I know they've been out for a while now, but the meerkats are still hideous and annoying. Is there anyone that laughs at those adverts?
