There used to be an advertisement hate thread but I can't find it, so here is the venting thread dedicated to the ads that insult you with their lack of any kind of inteligence or creativity.
Ads I hate include:
The Budget Direct ad with the incredibly bad French accent on the lady who pronounces it ''booo-jay'' & her patronising husband/boyfriend who has to correct her pronunciation.
Some ridiculous ad about seeing Block Party at the MCA which somehow links Block Party to the MCA through a series of very poor connections, especially a reference to chicken soup & the most famous painting of a soup can being done by Andy Warhol. THAT WAS A TOMATO SOUP CAN PAINTING, YOU AD-TARDS!
The debit matercard ad that tries to indicate that you can somehow become a famous rockstar by buying a drumkit with your debit mastercard & then booking a venue with your debit mastercard which will somehow fast track your rockstar career. Did the same people who wrote this ad also write the script for Garage Days???
There are more, I'm sure.
THAT WAS A TOMATO SOUP CAN PAINTING, YOU AD-TARDS!
He did all kinds of Soup, not just tomato
the ad that claims women have to sleep with their legs together unless they wear the particular pad/tampon to stop leaking.
BULLSHIT!
That Campbell's Real Stock one with the bint going on about how she is a real housewife and she's in her real house surrounded by her real family when it is obvious they're all actors on a set.
There is chicken in there.
Yes Junkie, but they refer to the most famous painting, & the tomato soup can painting by Warhol is iconic.
Nah, it's all of them, the peice is 32 cans, all the flavours at the time he made them.
i saw those in real life not a month ago. le sigh.
Yeah, I seen em too.
Actualy pretty good in the flesh
I would argue that the tomato is THE most famous, but I'm happy to agree that I disagree.
i really really really really really really detest the I-select ads
''you'd be a ''insert stupid parable that doesn't make sense'' if you did it any other way''
FUCK OFF YOU PROVIDE A SERVICE THAT THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDES FOR FREE AND YOU CHARGE SUCKERS.
i'd agree with that GC as well.
the ad that claims women have to sleep with their legs together unless they wear the particular pad/tampon to stop leaking.
BULLSHIT!
agreed. i think the first time i saw that ad i started yelling at the telly.
I still do, foxy
That doesn't matter at all though, as it's still the most famous painting of a can of chicken soup.
all ads shit me
hyperfuzz goes berserk whenever we're watching something and that insurance ad with the insufferable woman who tries to rap comes on.
I yell at the screen every time I see that one.
The only people to believe it are young girls who haven't yet menstruated, so as soon as they do they'll be so terrified they go and buy that product. Women generally stay loyal to one brand - I for always have been, never entirely consciously - and so BAM. They've another generation of buyers found, simply by trading off (or perpetuating?) the sleepover fears of insecure pre-teen/teenage girls.
NICE ONE GUYS.
Snap on the ''yelling at the telly'' sentiment.
Mel, the girl in that ad, is quite your senior anne.
She doesn't have to believe it to be in the ad, Ohyeah.

That ad for some mobile phone, where chick with the fake laugh turns some geek with a cupcake into an amazingly popular internet meme.
''down! down! prices are down!''
The ads on youtube for the mind exercising program or whateverthefuck it is. The lady getting the glasses drawn on her face saying how she uses it to 'stay sharp'. Guh.
you know...the more i see that ad the more i think that girl is kind of cute and sexually appealing...
There is a new version of this ad and it is worse than the original. It was on during the Simpsons last night. It goes for what feels like 5 minutes and it is SO FUCKING BAD.
yeah i fucken saw it. those old codgers must have really hit rock bottom to pull this shit.
wasn't sure if it should go in the fave or worst ad thread, but is the new Kmart ad have a bjork song?
the Subway hipsters are some of the most laughable ive seen in ages
Dude delivering the lunch orders to his co-workers
''Vege footlong, hold the carrot?''
''TOTALLY MAAN!!''
I'm still puzzled by the budget direct one.
Are we meant to know who this couple are? They're presented in that way.
It's obviously some sort of sexual relationship, even though there's a bit of an age gap there. I know the stereotype is french chicks like that, but why are they pushing it on us? Who gives a fuck how she pronounces it. I really want answers on all this.
wtf

wow. i'd never noticed those ads before. so odd.
omg. those ads are disturbing. maybe she is his age, but French women look younger?
the iconic.com.au ad.
Does the Good Guys Easter ad rabbit look like it has myxo?
Yes! Saw the ad this morning and immediately thought of this thread. Way to scare the kiddies Good Guys.
Fucken fanta vocoder daft punk bullshit
So, according to Virgin Money, men are either doofus hypochondriacs, or irresistible bread-winners. And in both cases not even close to funny.
Ugh. Fuck off.
Eclipse Chewy Mints.
there's this amazingly pretentious ad on pay tv at the moment that's an interview with an artist about what inspired his latest series of paintings, and he wanks on about how the theme was cars, trying to capture a sense of movement, the concept of travel, etc.. and it turns out to be an ad for Minis.
The fucking IKEA ad with the man yelling, the baby crying and the women screaming.
TL;DR the thread. Surely the Ford Fiesta ad with the shoe compartment got a mention somewhere? Fucking hell.
haha what?
Yes, so want to smash that cunt.
Perhaps it belongs on the public transport thread, but how fucking insulting is the Rhino on a skateboard / Dumb Ways To Die etc.
All public transport users are giant babies!
Any ad for a home building/construction company with emotionally charged singing and/or cutesy child voice.
