There is an atrocious perfume advert on All 4 at the moment which uses a downright offensive cover of Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence sung by some wailing banshee with the most generic-sounding EDM backing music. I have taken to muting it whenever it comes on as with the Nationwide spoken poetry adverts. Just tit.

This has me in a rage every time LOL but I can’t decide if it’s genius for making you look at the screen every time in confusion about hearing Christmas music or just lazy and annoying
Why are they not using "On the Beach" by Chris Rhea anyway ? Its more appropriate than a Christmas song surely?

On The Beach isn’t as perky & positive as The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year. Chris Rea wasn’t exactly known for his breezy personality. I do remember a dance song that sampled On The Beach many years ago, again it was a cool calming version of the song.

They could remix it to make it sound a bit more happier

Saw an ad last night for Thortful cards. Some weird couple making screeching animal noises at eachother. Hideous.

ETA: Sorry, just seen that it's been mentioned recently. Haven't been on this thread for a while but I had to make an exception for this abomination.

Oh that advert brings me to rage. I love the original. They do it all the time. Electric Dreams being another. Just stop it 🤢

The advert that uses an acoustic version of Stand By Me by Oasis. I think it's a bank advert. Ear-spltting.

I think they’re for Tui but I can’t stand those ads that use the Jess Glynne song ‘Hold my Hand’. They’re usually really loud and all of a sudden you’ll get ‘DARLIN’ HOLD MY HAND’ blasted at you, sung by someone who sounds just like one of those screaming goats you see in YouTube videos.

Its Jet2. I’ve never been on a Jet2 flight but apparently that song gets played when you are on/getting on the plane as well so there is no escaping it

It's a Halifax one - I HATE their "#ItsAPeopleThing" campaign

The ad also shows different people using a completely normal bench. Like hell a busy town centre will have a bench that isn't modified into hostile architecture so that homeless people can't sleep on it!

Dear God, that’s definitely a human rights issue. Imagine if your takeoff is delayed and you have to listen to that for hours and hours and hours and …

Every other advert banging on about their green/vegan/plant-based/carbon-neutral credentials.
