The All New Adverts that Grind my Gears

Someone at work was discussing how his kid for sex education at school had to write down different names for genitalia. So I forwarded him this link.

 
The HiHi advert where the electrical installation engineer calls his boss as he can't do his job. Boss has a look and says "Oh you're missing a wire, just extend it".

  • He's missing a wire, how can he extend it?
  • What electrical engineer would call his office based boss to get him to tell him how to do his job?
  • Why wasn't the engineer able to do his job? If he can't read schematics and figure something that fucking simple out he's obviously grossly incompetent.
  • Why wasn't the boss bothered a wire was missing and why did he not then question the integrity of the rest of the installation?
  • Why wasn't the boss bothered in the slightest that the bloke doing the installation was grossly incompetent?

Sake.
 
The boss is doing it on the cheap, clearly.

Also, I don't get what HiHi offers over Skype, Zoom or Teams?

Absolutely fuck all bar forwarding your office calls I think. But company phone systems have been able to forward to other numbers for years anyway, we used to have to cover callouts on a rota at the old place and they'd just divert the main line to whoever's mobile was on cover that weekend.
 
Someone's not thought that through have they? IT obviously does, that's how you score four or six runs, aside from being able to read it wrong so it means something else entirely

We do a similar thing with our Marketing, as our solutions are aimed at reducing the amount of driving reps do, so we say something like "You don't always want your reps to go the extra mile"...
 
im not in marketing, advertising or anything where meetings are needed ( always groups of people without proper work to be getting on with, that drag people in who do have proper work to do) your comments wasted on me, I have no idea what a Jeu de mots is
 
The new Domino’s advert with Yodelling orders is making me want to smash my head against a wall.
 
Not an advert, but a tv trailer; Danny Dyer proclaiming "the wo"! FFS.
 
The Airbnb ads on the radio, that finish with the line or similar " so if you've got a flat you rarely use, or a barn doing nothing, you could make money as a Airbnb host"
Because yea we've all got rarely used flats and barns doing nothing lying about haven't we?

Looking at some of the places on Airbnb I'm surprised they didn't say "garden shed you rarely use"
 
The relentless Numan adverts on Sky Sports News. Erectile dysfunction? Chance would be a fine thing...
 
The verisure alarm ads, actors so wooden they wouldn't get into any of Gerry andersons puppet shows

The guy really looks like Neil Pearson out of Between The Lines/Drop The Dead Donkey. Doesn't sound like him though!
