Surety they only work if they make me go out and buy the product advertised😄

You’d have thought so, but the fact we’re all here chatting about them shows the power of marketing, we don’t want what is being pushed on us, but we remember it. Truly bad advertising just goes by unnoticed.

For the record, I’m not in marketing, I just sit close enough to our marketing team to get a gist of it

Verisure! Ignore the wooden acting but the latest that their poor neighbours have been burgled and instead of asking if they are ok which any normal person would noooo, let’s get an alarm as that could have been us….

The one where the girl crashes into a pet shop and all the animals escape annoys me. Animals running everywhere, god knows what squashed under her wheels and she just sits there on the phone and dopily tells the insurance company 'I have crashed into a pet shop'. If I were the police officer attending that the first thing I would do would be a drugs test.
Also, that is a hare that is hopping around... why would then have one of those in a pet shop? I can't trust an insurance company that doesn't even bother to do its research.

I can not bare the climate pledge one, with all the surly teenagers speaking to camera in disapproving tones about how we should try to 'do something' 'it's a thing now' etc. I mean what were they thinking? When have grumpy teens ever inspired anyone?

That would make sense if I knew which company the advert was for , I don't, just find it annoying and tune out or switch off

Oh god I hate that advert. The good thing is I've no idea who its advertising for. But she phones him just to say "Oh I thought you'd be asleep dear". Well why the hell are you phoning him then?!

I dont like the numan advert for erectile disfunction, far too many names for that part at that time of day when my 8yr old is about!
