YANBU. Had to sit through one at the cinema the other day. Complete wank.

You aren't alone. Annoying, smug, think they're hilarious but they're not, fuckers.

DannyLaRuesBestFrock · 21/02/2018 20:23

I thought their could be nothing worse than the people reading meaningful poems. But I was wrong.

BroomHandledMouser · 21/02/2018 20:24

You are SOOOO not being unreasonable.

Turn the bastards off every time they come on

RaininSummer · 21/02/2018 20:25

Very irritating and ripping off TimMinchin's style.

TroysMammy · 21/02/2018 20:25

Bank and Building Society ads have always been awful. I worked for one of the big 4 and cringed every time a new ad was aired.

Arealhumanbeing · 21/02/2018 20:28

Ugh. I saw it yesterday.

‘It’s a roof over my noodle’. 🤮

Twats.

Arealhumanbeing · 21/02/2018 20:29

Also that bit about showering in the sink and ‘my feet smell like gravy’.

Fuck off you annoying, low expectation having wankers!

They're still better than Howard from the Halifax adverts. That guy gave me the rage!

I really quite like them, I love the song they first did about 2016

Neverender · 21/02/2018 20:48

Absolute bollocks!

aRespectableBureaudeChange · 21/02/2018 20:49

they are awful and cringeworthy.

DalekDalekDalek · 21/02/2018 20:55

They make me feel very stabby! They are an actual act, people actually pay money to watch them.

flugelhorn3 · 21/02/2018 20:56

Oh my god OP I can't STAND them! DH and I were talking about this the other day! Thank you for making me not feel unreasonable.

CheekyRedhead · 21/02/2018 20:57

Awful, like a PP said, you thought it was bad enough when they just did poems, now its these shite songs. when will it end?

Sarahh2014 · 21/02/2018 20:59

Is this the one with 'the sisters'?

Creambun2 · 21/02/2018 21:01

flo and joan are awful, especially that shit "crimbo limbo" ad.

witchofzog · 21/02/2018 21:04

I hate them too. Especially the miserable looking bint on the left

Aridane · 21/02/2018 21:11

Fucking excruciating- there is another thread on this!

gillybeanz · 21/02/2018 21:15

Gosh such reaction from an advert, can't say as I've seen it, but don't watch tv, much.
Are people watching adverts not for fun now, are you all bored?
