The one where women can skydive without lookin like one of the Red arrows with her special fanny pad on lol

Is this the right place to point out that all women skydivers should wear tampons...........

.....to stop them whistling on the way down.

Perfume and "mens fragrance" ads that begin to appear around now, just in time for the I-don't-have-a-clue-what-to-get-you-for-Christmas-here's-some-smellies shoppers

All of them trying to be "arty" and end up just being fcuking annoying

1. Gambling - I'm guessing that Italian lad for Ladbrokes' only known words in English are - ''Free bet'', ''Chris! Look at this'', ''Game on!''. Fair dues to the lad, money for old rope at his age.

2. Visit Scotland/Ireland/France/Jamaica/Kosovo........ - it's beautiful sure, but fùck, try something better than just showing glory shots of coasts, castles, lochs, bagpipes, Greeks dancing and drinking. Give us the real ads - Scotland - absolute CARNAGE on a Fri/Sat night with fat drunk people shouting at each, Greeks - honking their horns and having a low tolerance for waiting.

3. WKD - No male looks cool or funny when holding a neon blue coloured 330 ml drink that cost about £4.

4. Tampons - a woman on her period will most probably not like to be sky diving, driving motorbikes through Nevada, or climbing mountains.

5. Sky Sports - trying to paint shit like Stoke v Swansea or Sunderland v WBA as the main event in your weekend viewing. Lots of black and white shots, dramatic poses/shouts from the coaches, players in slow motion looking downwards before twisting their head towards the camera.

Was going to create a thread on this but found this one so I'll just bump it:

1. Online bingo adverts. Too much shit going on these adverts, from flashing colours to dancing dogs. Plus they're primarily aimed at the full-time mummy brigade.

2. Adverts promoting popular tv shows. That BT one where the students watch every episode of Breaking Bad consecutively within 48 hours infuriates me. The Virgin advert with the "Boxset Owl" is also bollocks.

3. Perfume adverts. Absolutely everywhere especially in the run-up to christmas. Chloe by Dior definitely the cringiest I've seen of late. She's randomly hugging a massive fucking oversized version of the perfume at the end of it.

4. Technology ads. I don't give a f**k if I can have a conversation with my new phone and this is preferable to actually pressing the required buttons, you lazy b*****d.

5. Adverts that predominantly feature children, particularly where they are acting like adults. You could say I'm the anti-BEAST.

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.

Someone has been paying attention.

Unusual given the thread title that nobody's mentioned toilet paper adverts...

1. Toilet paper

2. Insurance

3. Payday lenders

4. Aftershave & perfume ads. I don't understand a single one, go away.

5. Holiday-related adverts

To be fair, if you're from Northern Ireland, it probably is.

Northern Irish adverts are a different ball game , I remember we watched these in 3rd year modern studies as we were doing about the troubles in Northern Ireland or something and we watched this. I thought it was a fucking bt advert untill the last minute

Also did you know billy Mitchell was a grass

Sure I've posted these before, but they do a nice line in road safety ads in Northern Ireland.

The first one is quite old... Obviously thought that one squashed kid wasn't hard-hitting enough, so they increased it twenty-fold in the newer advert.
