Not really traumatic (irritating, mind), but I've just watched an Audi advert where the car is shown sedately cruising down a couple of streets while the small print informs me that it's being driven by a professional driver on a closed circuit. Why do I need to be told this? Is it to try and quell the urge to smoothly drive down the road at a moderate speed as to do that kind of thing I would need professional training?

There's a new Johnny Depp advert for Dior Sauvage Elixir that is jaw dropping in its naffness (not wanting to see him for other reasons aside). Playing an electric guitar in the desert? Why, Johnny, you are sooo cool.
Also the "elixir" creates an unwelcome image of him drinking the stuff, which isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

Presumably Dior believe there are still people around who regard him as "cool", rather than ridiculous and moronic. And that those people use expensive cologne.
Also surprising that they are cool with his legally confirmed status as a beater of women.

The budget for the latest Captain Birdseye commercial clearly doesn’t extend to the guy actually ‘saying’ anything. While his young pals tuck into some aesthetically-enhanced cod steaks, the main man simply sits there, smugger- and wiser-than-you behind his aesthetically-enhanced smile and aesthetically-enhanced cap’n’s beard.
Still, it’s nonetheless an improvement on those bizarre previous attempts to transform the character into some kind of maritime pin-up material.

I saw an advert yesterday for something called Pure Cremation. I think it's the cheap, trouble-free way to deal with an awkward dead relative.
A cheerful looking women at a kitchen buffet says that they just pick up the corpse and then drop off a pot of ashes at your house shortly afterwards. No need to try to come up with a crematorium playlist. Wahay!

To be fair the service is efficient and well priced. My Dad used them
Yes, I've got absolutely no problem with the concept, it's just the way it was presented in the advert, like a quick and cheap way to dispose of an unwanted piece of furniture, with no sense that the person speaking had just lost their mum and might be a little bit sad when discussing the funeral arrangements.
