MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I came across this gem whilst looking for guitar wall hangers (exciting I know!)
It manages to combine terrible Photoshop, along with a bit of sexism, and stereotyping of both male and females. Class 😆

Any perfume / aftershave advert.
/thread
Every single one of the bafflingly inexplicable fragrance adverts that appear at this time of year. With a budget the size or the GDP of Portugal, and featuring some Holywood A lister, but leave you looking at each other, going 'WTF was all that nonsense about?'
i do like that people started defacing the Johhny Depp ones....

perfume adverts are just like when Homer gets his posh TV ad for Mr Plow. 😆
All other adverts appear to be targeted at 12 year olds.
I work in a marketing department and one year they were all cooing over that advert for a money supermarket which featured a man in hot pants and high heels, like it was Citizen bloody Kane. Grown adults.

Trivago.
It's all about me, me, me!
Every single thing in the world should be exactly how I want it.
Because I'm special.
And high maintenance.
Avoid me.
@Rickmeister, coffee / keyboard. That had to be deliberate.
Reminds me of a (I think) Gulf War headline on either the News Quiz or HIGNFY
"20,000 troops enter Jordan"
- an average Saturday night for Ms Price
The waitrose christmas ads
Those Asda ones where they go on about 'roll back' - something about that slogan suggests foreskins. Just me?
I preferred it when it was just women slapping their own arses
The amazon one with the priest and muslim.
I *really* don't get the amazon tv stick doodah one with Jeremy Clarkson. He's sending some doodahs over the France, which is presumably a nice gesture, but he has a look like he's up to no good and a massive undertone playing up to his racist bigoted persona? What is Amazon trying to say - buy one of these if you're a similar massive racist ****? Or that it's a bad thing to receive one as obviously sending one over to France is like sending over a dose of Bird flu according to the sneaky looks so doodah = bird flu?.
:shrugs:
Agree about the fragrance ads, and the Amazon one.
Any ad that is made originally as a feature length edit and is then cut down to fit tv scheduling usually doesn't make sense.
I am grumplestiltskin and do not like adverts in that they all seem generally to be a degree of 'worst'. Fake, stereotypical, cheesy, overcooked, dishonest and desperate. Even the ones that aim for 'honest' come off as trying too hard.
Find it hard to think of a good one
As I spend way too much of my time of my time on Youtube almost every TV advert I see for some kind of Free To Play game.
The current main offender is something called Mobile Strike, who did a load of expensive looking ads with Arnold Schwarzenegger, cheesy, silly but you got the gist.
Apparently they can't afford Arnie anymore as their ads are now just women with huge bums looking at their phones. Something I have nothing against par se, but as an advert I just don't get how something so toe curlingly bad got signed off unless somehow Robert Crumb and Sir Mixalot are now running their marketing department.
Elite Singles, they've toned it down of late, but they still strike me as a den of arseholes.
There was also one a few years ago for some kind of estate agency, "this is your reward for all the missed school plays" or words to that effect - yep, you played the absentee parent, now you can pull the ladder up on the kids you ignored by pumping the crap out of the housing market.
The Hunky Dorys crisp ads. (sorry can't upload one just now)
Heard on Heart radio this ad for care homes 'We take care of your elderly loved ones so you don't have to'.
I quite liked it but direct approach not for everyone I guess as I only heard it the once...
Vagisan. Brutal.
