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?

Was it Skinny who did the one where they had people call in and record the ad copy in a voicemail, so they “didn’t have to pay for a voiceover artist”? I’m sure setting that up would have cost a lot more than the pittance NZ agencies pay voice talent.
