Re: What are your best and worse TV ads?

I hate them all but particularly the ones about funeral insurance and leaving something for the family..I'm spending it all and they can do what they like about my funeral..Also the ones about mobility scooters and beds and all that crap.

I'm so with you on the funeral plan adverts such as Sunlife. The amount paid out is nowhere near enough to pay for even the most basic funeral or leave's little something for your loved one's'. The adverts themselves make me cringe too!

My wife is a nurse but EE aren't giving her free data as she's in PAYG. (they didn't mention anything about that exclusion in their ad !.)

These advertisers trying to get commercial advantage out of the current situation are pathetic. McCain oven chips are latest ones to claim they are helping us through the crisis somehow

Agree entirely with what you say. They come across as so snug to me.

Bleeding Craft gin club advert:

Off screen: Delivery from Craft gin club
Bint: It's a delivery from Craft gin club: I wonder what could be in the box?

I don't know: Snapping turtle, live hand grenade, cuddly toy.

Hagen Dazs or whoever is responsible for their marketing has managed to desecrate Galvanize by the Chemical Brothers.

This is an act of war.

funny you should say that because they have gone from the same repetitive "bla bla makes her cakes" ad to loads of different ones recently. They obviously dont need to advertise because they have been ridiculously busy during the lockdown so what other agenda are they trying to pursue
