Current adverts that trouble you

I will begin.

Tesco: Why would anyone buy a watermelon on a whim?

Ronaldo's six-pad. End of thread.

There's an add for the AA featuring a nudist losing their keys which cuts to towing an ice cream van away for repairs. I don think it supposed to be he same event but comes across a bit creepy.

Tesco: Makes me want to never buy food from them ever again. How many fridges or cupboards has it sat in before? I don't want to buy chicken dated tomorrow that Dorothy bought yesterday, decided she didn't need then bought back, after it sat in her trolley for an hour then her car for half hour each way.

I'd assumed they threw the returned items away.

Ew.

Now I'm imagining all sorts of unsanitary vegetable use.

I assumed so too, but I've seen varying reports from "staff" and "customers" online saying they do sell it. It's just bizarre either way.

More's the point, why would anyone spend more than the cost of a watermelon in fuel to return the thing?

The LG advert where Jason Statham plays every character

Those stupid fucking Halifax adverts with Top Cat. They couldn't sound less like Top Cat and Dibble if they tried

thermionic

Any one of the Just Eat monstrosities.

Airtricity. For suggesting that electricity generated from wind is good for the country. It is good for Airtricity....

And now the Flintstones. Is anyone who's of an age to need a mortgage going to have a clue what these characters are?

Adverts? What the hey are they?

Alnico

Travelodge.

It's on the radio as well.

Blows every fuse, every time.

The Birds Eye sponsors the Simpsons mini ads. They had a cartoon boy with a big tail. It made no sense. They have now edited the tail out, equally without explanation, although when you watch it there is briefly a flickering white line where his tail was.

Yes.

The adverts are stupid but The Flintstones are incredibly famous.
