@blue_Mike and moreover, what the fuck has that got to do with gardens? Or capes?

While we're on shitty mobile ads, I keep seeing the one with a soldier shooting up a road with barriers (or sometimes barrels) coming towards them. And all they have to do is focus on one barrier at a time rather than strafing between them and not getting enough hits on any. But no.
It doesn't make me want to play the game and show them how it's done, it makes me want to yell at them for being stupid.

Still see the one with thy guy trying to solve a puzzle quickly while lava is chasing him.
Going by the comments the actual game is nothing like that.

The most baffling part is that the fake games look fucking shit

It's on all the time as well now. This is the problem. Once it’s almost amusing. Once every 15 minutes and that’s when the red mist happens. This one is really getting to me. |

Ok getting an avalanche of Royal Match ads on YouTube now.
So… it’s got to be ITV affiliated, right? We’re getting their full roster of presenters bollocking on about it. And yet it’s clearly another match three clone game? Will every broadcaster have a lazy piece of shit phone game soon?

If there's one way of guaranteeing that I won't want to play Royal Match, these ads are it. Looks like they've just handled a whole bunch of money to Cowell and his gang to promote it in the most insincere way possible.
Asked my nephew and niece if they see these ads a lot too and yep, they do. My nephew just repeats "I'm playing Royal Match" in a derpy voice. Maybe they're going for the middle-aged Candy Crushers?
Didn't realise it's something that's been around for a while too - I just figured it was new.

Yeah I've seen about 4 different ads for it now. Yes you can skip them after 6 seconds but no one should have to watch those clowns for that long.

It does feel like it’s marketed toward the crowd that’s already addicted to Bingo apps.

I've started to boot up my VPN if i'm looking at something on Youtube as the Dutch adverts just wash over me and cause minimum annoyance.

Suddenly, uBlock Origin is no longer enough to block ads on YouTube.

I was watching an Aliens Dark Descent video on YT and had a 20sec unskippable advert for Velux skylight windows.
I wonder how many people watch YT, see a Velux ad and think ‘That’s EXACTLY what I need’ before sticking an order in with their local installer?

My mother-in-law’s hot takes:
Head & Shoulders - “I love it. It’s so cool. I never get tired of it”
Smarty Mobile onions x bitcoin ad - “what does bitcoin have to do with anything? And it’s that annoying actor selling the onions” (She thinks it’s Karl Pilkington)
Flash - “It would be better if it didn’t have that annoying man doing the voiceover” (Brian Blessed)
When are you going home again? You’ll want to beat the traffic…

Brave browser still works, but there's a black screen for a bit while the ad "plays". Beats seeing the fat kid or the cat lady on the muller ads for the 87th time. (Still need to sort out blocking on the PS5) |

Thought I just caught an advert with a surgeon giving oxygen to a sausage roll but it turns out it was a hamster.

That makes even less sense, why would a hamster have access to oxygen canisters?

Awww. Do you remember when they were doing that ad without Judy. Fucking pointless. At least she gave it something.
The one that’s getting me at the moment is actually in podcast form. The Pepsi Max one where the voiceover give a “bombastic side eye” because I don’t drink Pepsi Max when 70% of people prefer it to full sugar Coke. First of all that’s not a like for like comparison, and second of all fuck off I know what diet cola I prefer you prick.
It doesn’t help that the ad gets repeated about six times an episode. I’m paying you a sub Spotify. Why are your exclusive podcasts filled with this shit?

The bombastic side-eye Pepsi Max podcast advert put me off buying Pepsi Max.
It would have been marginally cheaper too, but with that advert literally in my ears I chose Coke Zero instead.
Though there is a nearly as annoying Diet Coke ad on podcasts recently, so maybe I should just stop buying aspartame filled drinks.

Christ I'm locked into ITV because rugby and there will be MURDER soon.
The Big Brotherton reboot
Perfume ads (fuck you Xmas)
Some shite with Davina the ancient bitch McCall doing dating with parents and children for some reason. Retire already you old cow no-one liked you in the first place
Something else that went on the offense against Geordie accents that I've blocked from my memory because I'm so tired of Geordie accents being used as 'reality'(see Big Brotherton reboot up there, it makes me feel extremely stabby)
The relentless drive and plugs for "reality" shows
60 quid for "premium" ITV. What the actual fuck is premium ITV? Do reality show cunts break my windows, kill my cat, infiltrate my kitchen and shit in my pasta bags?
The Doritos thing with animal heads
All car adverts ever but they are definitely becoming more and more nonsensical
