Factory Direct Inverurie, only for viewers in Grampian. Genuinely makes me want to rip my eyes out and ears off every time it comes on. 

 

“CAD Dra’ains” is the new PIN number.

Weren't Factory Direct a staple advert on NECR?

You might be thinking of Strathbogie Saw Centre in Huntly who used to promote their wares on NECR with Doric poetry. It was cringeworthy but at least they'd put some creativity into it which is more that can be said for Factory Direct. I could imagine their poetry had a certain appeal for the type of person who would be interested in purchasing a specialist saw.

The gambling adverts have really ramped up against on YouTube.

It might just be you. I get non-stop commercials for incredibly shite mobile game money sinks.

Better than a few years ago, when I kept getting ten-minute infomercials for American evangelical Christian shysters. Presumably they were targeting the lucrative middle-aged loser nihilist market.

I cringed at an Amazon advert last night where a van driver gave his job title as 'Delivery Associate'.

Incredibly patronising. People generally end up with those kind of wanky job titles when someone in management has decided it'll keep the thicko proles happy in lieu of better wages/conditions.

There was some talk a while back about changing our drivers' job title to something like 'Mobility Managers'. They mocked it enough that the idea was dropped. Still on the same shitty pay, though.

What's worse than being isolated at home with nobody to talk to?

Being isolated at home and getting a call from Ant and fucking Dec.

All of the bank adverts pretending to give a f**k.

Also, get employees to chip in with a WFH video and at least one clip has to have something 'whacky' going on in the background.

Take a running f**k at yourselves, you fucked up in 2008 we don't need your faux kindness in 2020.

This. Susan Calman telling the lad, "It's your bit," and a wee girl doing a completely unrehearsed handstand behind. Grr.

The Virgin one with all the little brats singing.

Absolutely. Who told those children they were talented? Every time the advert appears, I growl and moan causing a different irritation in my household.

A few of said employees must have very well-paid partners or there's some quality embezzlement going on.

Everything related to a bunch of people filming themselves during lockdown, in any capacity.

While I'm here, Pura flushable wet wipes. Genuinely disturbing. You'll know why when you see it.

Because it matters.

Had to deal with them once as they pursued an "accident" case against my work on behalf of an utter fuckwit who couldn't get his story straight until the third attempt. He supposedly slipped on ice while delivering at the weekend when the place wasn't open. They just try to wear you down and get you to pay out a few thousand quid to get them off your back. Utter scum.
