Annoying Adverts 2018

Standby for an avalanche of ads for carpet sales and cheap holidays

 

The Christmas vouchers saving scheme company Park has reared its ugly head already. "I know it's still a while until next Christmas..." Yes, 51 whole weeks, you cunts

 

Oh yeah those capitalist pigs crop up every January it's always park74. tv or park98. ie

Fuck them. They piss me off

 

I can see why they do it but it completely ruins the get irrated by the first mention of Xmas game

 

That fucking Huawei "I am what I do" creepy phone-obsessed bollocks. I am not my phone! (Posting from my phone.)

 

I don’t get the Park thing - what is the benefit of it vs putting money into a savings account every week? Do you get better deals out of it for food etc? I know a couple of people who use it and like it but I don’t get it.

 

I'm guessing it 'forces' people to commit to save for next Christmas gifts, rather than taking the money out a few months from now and spending it on something else if one finds oneself short of cash. I suspect there might be penalties involved for withdrawing the money early. In any case, you re paid in gift vouchers not cash.

 

Yeah I’ve just looked on the website and they’re keen to push the point that you can’t be tempted to spend the savings if you’re with them. Wonder how they make their money - perhaps from the food and drink hampers.

 

The unrealistically happy-looking and unfeasibly prosperous-looking mother and child in that Park advert are what grate with me. festivaldeb felt the same even more -- and debt advice wortk is included in her Citizens Advice job.

People who really do have serious debt and skintness issues are the people who'll feel most pressured into using Park and companies like them. Not people who look like they've never had an unpaid bill in their lives, such as the people on the advert -- or at least how the ad presents them ...

Image vs reality don't match

 

Apart from reinvesting the cash they get from their customers, I would imagine they take a cut from the retailers (Argos, M&S, etc) they offer gift cards for.

 

The car one with old skool classic "Far Out" in it. Fuck off

 

Ten years ago,several banks including Halifax got in trouble and had to be bailed out by the the tax payer after giving loans to people that couldn't pay them back....Halifax now advertises that it would give a cat that wants a dustbin a mortgage.

 

That one where the geeky kid says "what's a computer?" to the friendly inquisitive neighbour.

The kid knows damn well what "a computer" means and, by pretending not to know and not answering the polite enquiry, that kid is a dick. I hate that kid

 

Usual crop of debt-prodding, guilt-tripping, love-sapping life insurance and funeral plan advertisements intensifying for the new year. (Oh yeah, it's 2018, hadn't noticed, must start saving for the cost of disposing of my mortal remains )
They're all awful (and I know they're not exactly easy products to sell) but the one where dad & daughter stroll along a sunny shingle beach yapping about, more or less, "yeah well, shame that Mum died but at least she had a lovely funeral" has got to be The Official Worst.

 

You're been watching Old people TV, don't blame you tellys been shit this year

 

The one with several means of transport one on top of the other being pulled by a guy with a rope.Several of the vehicles have steam coming out the front of them including a Volkswagen combi pickup which are well known for a)having the engine in the rear and b) being air-cooled.Cunts.

 

Shpock

SHPOCK OFF YOU CUNT

The latest one, when the voiceover says "what are you waiting for?" like a shit actorrr cunt reading a shit script, badly.

Fuck off, and shove your capitalist "skimming off surplus value" app up your arse

Surplus cunts

 

That Apple advert where that girl doesn't know what a computer is.

 

Ah.

 

^^mentioned up there

Eta ah I see you saw it

 

Its really fucking annoying.

Get over yourselves "ooh aren't we groundbreaking? What's a computer? This is a lifestyle tool" wankers.

 

Mr K is generally a laid back kind of guy, but the Shpock thing makes him rage like an injured silverback

 

<solidarity fistbump to Mr K>

I feel his fury

 

I just reread this post 

RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION

 

Quoting from last year's thread because it's reaching new levels of annoyance.

 

Do people still see adverts?

 

Purple bricks. Every fucking one of them.

 

those two women singing about their tiny house. i wish it would collapse with them in it.

 

The Crimbo Limbo song, which was the first time I saw these two, was actually rather good. They (appropriately) only showed the advert during the week between Xmas and NYE, so it didn't get repetitive and annoying either.

 

Just grim
