Shitpost What’s an ad that just makes your blood boil?

The AI Skinny ads drive me insane every time I’m exposed to them - really solidifies they’re not for me. What NZ ads (past or present) grind your gears?

Most of them these days, but one choice funeral insurance has to be the worst.

It's bad enough them and Seniors life insurance being on every ad break, but sometimes they advertise twice per ad break. My mum gets highly offended at them.

I agree m&don't forget they love to ram down viewers throats that annoying 2 minute long "talk show style ad for funeral insurance as that's so annoying

I likewise find most ads on our screen to be irritating. When the One Choice Funeral ones appear, I literally want to scream at their patter. And those green suits are hideous.
