I couldn’t be bothered searching, but is there a thread where I can register my high level dislike of certain ads ? Sort of like the airing of grievances during Festivus, but for ads ?

Can I do it here or is there another thread ?

Agree with this rubbish. I think we mentioned it in the NFL thread. I wonder what Shaq thought even though it's more an embarrassment to our country.

There's a lot ads I hate, so going against Drof's thread, one I like is on SEN most days and that's the Athena ads where the lady calls in about her finances and cops a greedy a-hole to answer. Funniest radio ad in a long time.

I dunno what it is about this chick, or maybe it’s just the number of times they play it, but this McCain ad does my head in.

“Nothing special” ? Too right it’s nothing special so stop shoving it down our throats so often !!!

"Actress thats playing my nan". I assume when that was written down they thought it was funny, but its really not.

Incidentally, those PointsBet ads with Shaq were the most complained about ads with Ad Standards in 2022. They’ve been modified several times as a result, but they’re still crap.

Yep. Bring back that golf ad where he bets on (and mentions) "The Taigers" and we get to see beautiful Paige calling out "fore!!"

Any election ad, no matter which party. Lib/NP, ALP, Greens doesn’t matter. All the ads of this genre are *smile* shitful and cringeworthy, speaking to people who really don’t have the mental capacity to be voting.

In TAS, our state election ones are even on another level of cringy bargain basement diarrhoea.

Yes. They’re the worst actors of all time !

Oh geez …the McCain ads have started already. Someone get me a Shoei helmet and visor.

I don’t mind the eBay ads. The smart arse, whimsical, chubby (am I allowed to say that?) supervisor and the dunce bloke that works for her. Hah hah hah. Plus the “we should have sushi Carol” guy - although that’s getting a bit past it’s used by date now.
