You know what?Those adverts drive me bloody crazy!If they are trying to put potential customers off they're doing a good job!
They're not even the slightest bit amusing,more damn irritating than anything else.I tend to change channels now every time they come on!

I would class them as 'cringeworthy' wouldn't get me to look at the site.

Agreed 'cringeworthy' is an excellent description for them.

I think it's supposed to be get-in-your-head annoying.
They also just gained some free advertising from you posting that video so something is kind of working.

It only works if people buy their product, not negative exposure.
Did you watch the ad?
