FTA-TV Ads that piss you off (3)

[Miguel Sanchez]

Peter FitzSimons and other Aussie pseudo celebrities telling me that they're tonight they're ordering UberEats from <insert restaurant name here> in Mt Lawley/Leederville/other Perth location that is literally a continent away from where they actually live.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Ads before/during YouTube videos on my phone. Thankfully my browser blocks them.

'Not just the sun... your son, and his right arm inswingers'

That older guy is clearly his Dad, not his son. It's like the came up with what they thought was a great line but then realised it would look bad to have the actual son peppering his old man with bodyline bowling so they switched them around to make it 'funnier'... except now it doesn't make sense.

I mentioned my hate for that ad a page or so back. Its one of two ads ("hole in my bucket" being the other) that I actively mute as soon as I hear it because I hate it so much

Finally, an explanation for that ad that makes sense!

Guessing it's only a WA ad, but...

"Hi Jill"
"Hi Renee"
"Did you know you can save $100 off RAC car insurance if you buy online?"
"Thanks Renee!"

In real life that last line would be dripping with sarcasm or include profanity. If my neighbour started cold-selling their company's products on me in the street like that I'd start secretly pissing in their petrol tank.

I don't know what all the fuss is about the new lamb ad. Creative, though I hate Broadway musicals. And I am a recent convert to Lambism(but no mint jelly, thank you.)

My reaction would be along the lines of " is this psycho going through my mail?"

I want to set the Trip Advisor owl puppet on fire.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Can't believe the cheapskates at hotels combined couldn't animate the bear's lips. Awful ads

Better run run run

[Bumpswithagrin]

Any of the myriad of the ‘compare the pair’ industry super ads I am forced to endure during the tennis season.

For some reason, the over-acting in the one where two women are standing in front of escalators at a shopping centre really annoys me

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Probably the the popular ones - AAMI and Coles.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Foxtel ones with Hemsworth. Almost makes me want to unsubscribe.

 

[Power Raid]

Betting ads that target ripping off peasants

Or hire a voice actor who can convey emotion.

 

[Lethality]

The tv reality shows that describe themselves as social experiments.

The tv reality shows that describe themselves as social experiments.

They're experimenting to see how far they can dumb down society before people will finally stop watching.

The prognosis isn't good.

Can't believe the cheapskates at hotels combined couldn't animate the bear's lips. Awful ads

I saw a recent one where a guy and girl ask the bear about a hotel, and the girl keeps cutting off the bear by saying she wants a hotel that has this and has that, and she lists a whole bunch of things she wants the room to have.

The thing is, look carefully at the girl. I could have sworn that it is the same girl in the Trivago ads. If so, how ironic, that she advertises Trivago (a website which compares hotels) and then acts in a Hotel Combined ad (which is also a website that compares hotels, and a competitor to Trivago).

I doubt it is her, because she couldn't be used on competing ads, but gee, she sure looks like the Trivago girl (maybe it is her evil twin promoting the competition).

Didn't his lips used to move in the ones that had Richard Marx in them?

My theory is that the bear used to be CGI, and its lips moved. But now they have gone down the cheap route, and had it be a guy in a suit, whose lips don't move.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

I think that's supposed to be part of the ad. To make it deliberately a bit cheap and nasty/surreal.

So its not her? I have been trying to figure this out for a long time. It has to be her twin if not.

You aren't looking closely enough if you think they could be twins
