Industries with shittest TV ads

Recommended Posts

1. Sofa retail

2. Debt Consolidation

3. Gambling aimed at women - it's only bingo, so you'll still be a sassy succesful lady and definitely not a despicable addict.

4. Gambling aimed at men - Some public school boy thick frame glasses wearing Marketing w**k's visualisation of 'lad' culture.

5. Emergency famine relief.

Anything to do with money, mostly. Consolidate debt, payday loans, insurance (particularly comparison sites), banking, savings, ISA (ISA, baby), the list goes on and so do the adverts.

Toys - the fun is in the Play Doh doh doh doh doh. Lalalaloopsy. Veeeeeee TECH! We're hungry hippos, hungry, hungry hippos, elephun elephun, we're having elephun. f**k OFF!

I can't finish the top five. I've annoyed myself remembering those.

1. Washing powders / liquids - Nobody looks that excited at clothes coming out their machine

2. Toothbrushes - There are literally no innovations left to be made in this area, but it doesn't stop them claiming there is.

3. Razor Blades - as above. Plus the money spent on paying celebrity arseholes to endorse the product.

4. Cars - You'd think this would be an easy one to get right, but when you see cars flying / dancing / jumping through hoops, you know they're out of ideas.

5. PPI / "Were you injured in a fall at work" / Pawn your Granny's jewellery / Wonga etc - The day I ever use any of these abominations is the day that one of them actually create an honest ad where they present the ad dressed as a vulture.

Bookmakers. Some cringeworthy stuff, particularly Ladbrokes and Bet 365

The tampon and sanitary towel industries. Who remembers the roller skaters and Claire Rayner? It's always blue water they use. Can they not make it red to make it a little more realistic?

Tabloid newspapers. Usually some hard done to nobody revealing their exclusive as if it was the greatest news ever published

Over 50's life assurance. Are you over 50? WELL YOU BETTER HURRY UP AND BUY MY PRODUCT AS YOU ARE GOING TO DIE SOON AND YOUR FAMILY WILL GET NOTHING. way to tempt me

Scottish Tourism ads. I don't live in Brigadoon

Possibly the only funny thing that a jam-rag company has ever done. Period. (hohoho).

1. I suppose Party Political Broadcasts count as advertising in some way- fibbing wanks the lot of them

2, banks/financial institutions. "We really care about you". No, it would be more honest if you got Bob Geldof to say "just give us yer focking money"

3. Christmas ads that start in October. Just f**k off.

4. Car ads- especially ones for SUVs that show them roaring up mountains or through jungles etc when you just know they're only going to be driven by some clueless bint on the school run.

5. all those dog food adverts- "prime succulent meat etc". Look, it all ends up as shit on the pavement anyway and dugs are not that fussy.
