I've heard so many horror stories about Euro car parts. Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole personally

I get mine from Brexit car parts. An excellent red white blue service every time.

On a par with people posting snow pictures up on their Facebook, people posting their vaccine cards confirming they've had a vaccine.

What was the part number for that? I'm looking for one for the wife

When people defend a player who had a bad performance by saying they’re being ‘scapegoated’. I’m pretty sure some people on here would say Hitler was a scapegoat for causing WWII. 

[Unabomber]

That guy on the nationwide advent going on about everyday people helping everyday people. Why does he put on such a weird voice? Very annoying 

[Wymsey]

The Go Compare advert, the one where the singing man interviews himself.

Nationwide and their faux folksy historical poetry adverts. 

 

Get in the ****ing sea.

Yeah that new one is so bad. Up there with the days they had a succession of Mancunians doing spoken word shit about their nans and putting the kettle on.

Also the Nationwide spoken word advert which rhymes "Houses" and "Housing" can absolutely get in the bin

The latest nationwide ad featuring the couple in the photo booth.

 

I'm sure they make these adverts as irritating as possible.

Those Nationwide ads just get worse don't they?

Yep, a Brummie droning on about how her boyfriend first asked her out.

Nationwide going from crap poets to even crapper stand-up 'comedians'.

Nationwide adverts.

 

They've got a knack of making really shit, annoying adverts that they seem to surpass with every new one they put out.

 

Edit - Haha, I genuinely hadn't seen that @SouthStandUpperTier and @Langston had mentioned it before I posted that.

I see Nationwide are back with more bloody irritating adverts, this time featuring a painfully unfunny stand-up comedian.

Those Nationwide adverts that are like poems, they really grate on me for some reason.

Nationwide are up to their usual tricks. Bunch of twats.

Been mentioned a few times but the Nationwide adverts fill me with an unbridled rage - have to mute them the second I see them.

I know they're trying to be feelgood COVID related ads, but those Nationwide poets don't get any better do they?

They're just so bloody twee aren't they, it makes me uncomfortable - feels like each one is just full of references to elderly relatives and putting the kettle on.

The latest nationwide advert. And the 84 before that

Poet on the Nationwide ads.

 

I'm not a violent man but put me in a room with that pretentious prick, and I'm looking at time.

Couldn't agree more. They would actively make me avoid using Nationwide

They've not changed in years @Unabomber . They're still horrid. Hope they nip them in the bud soon.

 

Seeing far too much of the current one, as well.

Its probably just me being bitter during times of travel restrictions but travel programmes with celebrities are annoying me. 

 

They are basically getting paid for going on holiday and there is an air of smugness / fake humbleness surrounding most of them.

[Countryfox]

I love them Nationwide adverts  ..   the ones with the black horses running along the beach are just fookin fantastic ! ..   I’ve opened about 7 new accounts in the last couple of months. 

[Countryfox]

The bit that grinds my gears though is that they just don’t run them often enough ..  if I don’t see one every few days I get withdrawal symptoms and have to sit in a dark room.

@Mark should be getting a fee for all this advertising on FT

I just heard on the radio that midwives are now not to use the terms ‘birth mother’ and ‘breastfeeding’ because they are transphobic. They are instead to use ‘birth person’ and ‘chestfeeding’.

 

Hasn’t it all gone a bit too far now?

Yes it's utterly ridiculous, This is like trying to reinvent the Wheel and goes against nature. Talk about the Tail wagging the Dog. 

Worth it just to see how many get upset.

Here, take a bite of this orange.  Maybe later I can show you some more cringe.  If you're lucky it could be a cringe binge.  Shoot it into your veins like it came from a syringe.  But don't get caught staring when I whip out my minge.  And don't you dare touch it, it's.too hot, it might singe.  

[LCFCCHRIS]

Clichéd advertisements that think they are really clever, and also ads ruining music by playing it over and over again, both 70s 80s stuff and also classical music gets hit by this 🤣
