    That Lenor ad " ya no' gettin this bak" where a variety of repulsive individuals swaddle themselves in white sheets.

    Worst of the lot for me is yer wan who pops up and goes "what's that?". So much annoying in so brief screen time.

    Any ad overly-voiced by Jon Culshawwwwww.

    It is what it's.

    Ryanairs Vax & Go/Jab & Go has been banned in the UK
    The ASA said it received more than 1,600 complaints about the advert, including that it was misleading to suggest the vaccine would be rolled out by the spring and that travel restrictions would be over.

    Consumers also complained that the advert trivialised the pandemic’s impact on society.

    The watchdog upheld the complaints, saying it was “likely that consumers would interpret the phrase ‘vax and go’/‘jab and go’ as an unequivocal endorsement of vaccinating and travelling unconditionally.” Ryanair has been told the campaign therefore cannot run in its current form.

    Every single new car ad ever. The same nonsense bilge about making a statement, saving the planet, protecting future generations, standing out from the crowd, or is it herd? etc. etc. ad nauseum. Fup off, I'm buying a bike.

    Yes, and particularly bad is the Hyundai Tucson ad, telling us to "embrace new forms of energy", which is bvllsh1t because the Tucson (even the hybrid) is still a 100% fossil car. Hyundai, to their credit, do a couple of excellent electric cars, but the Tucson uses strictly either petrol or diesel, which are contributing to climate change.

    And if that wasn't bad enough, the guy in the ad has this funny look on his face as he drives. It reminds me of when you're watching a film, and about 20 minutes from the end, the identity of the killer is revealed. The cops start looking for him and have to catch him in the nick of time because he's on his way to kill again. Well the guy in the ad has that look of a killer concentrating on getting to the scene of a murder before the cops can.

    Good ad's Bad ad's they don't care as you remember them so you will subconsciously remember the brand. Its an ad that no one remembers they do not want. I mean its 1 thread plus 465 posts on here about there ads

    Remember to boycott their products maybe. I can see how this approach may work in some instances but when bad ads are repeated ad nauseam, for years in some cases, it creates a negative link with the product being advertised.

    I haven't eaten an M&M in about four years.

    You boycott something because it is a bad ad!!! Now if it should something controversial I can see it but just because its bad?

    Also your missing out on crispy M&M's. Gets no appearance in the ads

    The face the ma makes makes me want to punch the tv.

    And when she is on the phone, the way she points at ...well, nothing... before the uber sickening line is uttered.

    Never mind that the electricity has to come from somewhere, and that somewhere more often than not is fossil fuel, something these glorified milk float lovers forget :D

    The Three 'fully grown adult male figure in the family has no task whatsoever in the modern world" ad needs to be banned, it's a bloody disgrace. I'd cancel every single piece of business with them if I had any, lol. If it was a female their offices would be blockaded.
