ads we dont like

[Kev]

Post 'em here:

Adverts that u hate on TV :p

[Kev]

*Diamond Car Insurance - just for women.

*The Other insurance Ad with the Elephant.

[lindylou]

I hate the KFC ad;

She sings;
''I can feed the family for only 9: 99''

He sings;

''great, she hasn't cooked''

:mad: :eek: .... it's the horrible tune and the awful singing that I can't stand !

The other one I hate is that daft old fellah that keeps shouting ''40 years! 40 years!'' ''I havn't claimed in 40 years !''

Don't like the Churchill bulldog either - ''oh, yes!'' :(

[Max]

Diamond Car Insurance are pure evil and they who the worse drivers really are. :p

[Kev]

'I said u buy 1 - u get 1 free, I said u buy 1 - u get 1 free'

Safestyle windows.

[Scousemouse]

Yeah, Safestyle Windows - I wouldn't buy an ice lolly off him! :D

All those patronising loan adverts- with 'competitive rates' of around 20% interest ("They're very nice people to deal with!" ...I'll bet they are, wait until you default on your payments, mate!)

Then there's that poisoned dwarf in the oversized green overall floggin' cars- or more to the point LOANS at exhorbitant rates. I'd love to say 'yes' if some idiot would pay me three times the going rate for a loan! ;)

[Kev]

Yes car credit -

http://www.car-credit-uk.net/yes-car-credit-lucy.gif

That Loans ad - were the fella is talking about football and his wife/ partner is filming him on the camera :rolleyes:

[Gnomie]

[Scousemouse]

*Diamond Car Insurance - just for women.
'Just for women'...what's that all about?
Whatever happened to the equality laws? 'Fewer claims' does not equate to 'safer drivers'! :D

Hang on, I'll just put my spoon away. :rolleyes:

[Kev]

It's that generation that I don't have a trendy name for, that the media have pushed to the extreme, the generation who are now uttering the question - Do we need men anymore? WT..? We will save that for another thread eh?

[lindylou]

'I said u buy 1 - u get 1 free, I said u buy 1 - u get 1 free'

Safestyle windows.


That must be one of the worst ones ever Kev !! :mad: :mad: :eek:


drives everyone mad ! :(

as Pete Price would say, ''knock him out !!''

[Browneyes]

Lol...safestyle windows...were not allowed to mention that company in front of my parents, especially my mum, they agreed a few years ago for a rep from there to come round and show a few examples etc, but at the end my parents weren't really interested so said they'd think about it and get back to them if they wanted ne new windows, and now they wish they'd never said that, they've been hounded non stop by the company ever since, getting phone calls sometimes 3 or 4 times a week, many a times they've told them they aren't interested, even complained and were told they would be taken off their list but it never happened, they still called, anyway, a few weeks back a woman called from safestyle, she started the usual rubbish and half way through my mum said 'look sorry but we've told you tons of times now were not interested in getting new windows' and to that the woman on the other end said 'Well! theres no need to be so F***ing rude about it' and slammed phone down, my mum was fuming! my dad wrote a letter off to them and its getting looked into as i type..

[lindylou]

Here's another horrible ad ..........

'Fixodent' .... ''a life with more bite''


it features 2 pensioners 'necking' in a car !! :eek:

'orrible ! and it's always on when you're eating your tea !

[Kev]

UGH! :D

[Max]

Everyone hates the crazy frog advert.

[Kev]

That new 'Cheese Dipper' ads where the two groups of asbo chasin kids are 'fronting' each other in a park.

'Big Cheese Deepa'

:(

[Kev]

Halifax .... just get that fool off my telly

http://static.sky.com/images/pictures/1334659.jpg

Howard Brown from the Halifax ads turnes up at this years MOBO awards, yes, its him :lol:

[lindylou]

:lol: ahh, I don't mind Howard :lol:

[Kev]

:lol: ahh, I don't mind Howard :lol:

According to the ladies, he gives them extra, if you know what I mean, I thank you! Drum roll

[lindylou]

Kev, remember when you were saying how annoying Sharon Osborne is on the Asda ads ? :nod: well, I've just seen her being very irritating again ! This time she's advertising 'her story' in tomorrows Sun. You might see it if you are watching tv tonight. :)

[Kev]

OMG, sorry to blaspheme :crybaby:

[lindylou]

The new 'Special K' advert is pretty annoying.

One girl keeps saying to the other, ''loser, loser '' :rolleyes:

[Kev]

Arh, yes that one, mum u are soch a loosar :disgust:

[lindylou]

That's the one ! :$ik:

[Kev]

Emaya - 'for the time of your life'. The advert about The Menopause.

[victorialush]

http://static.sky.com/images/pictures/1334659.jpg

Howard Brown from the Halifax ads turnes up at this years MOBO awards, yes, its him :lol:


LOL! He still isnt cool!

I hate the advert that was on ages ago.... 'zoom zoom zoom'... I would have to mute that as soon as it came on.... it grates on me.

[Max]

The Halifax guy looks cooler when he's dressed like a banker.

[victorialush]

The Halifax guy looks cooler when he's dressed like a banker.

That halifax guy is a complete and utter banker! :D

[Kev]

That halifax guy is a complete and utter banker! :D

Well he does bank all day

[Max]

Bet he doesn't bank no more, the money he makes off them ads he doesn't need to.

[Kev]

Okay, so its not on the tele but those ads for Iceland of the radio featuring kerry macfadden (http://www.yoliverpool.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2885#post2885).

[The Missus]

They are on the tele Kev, she picks up a bag of frozen chicken breasts and says to the boy assistant are these breasts bigger, and he looks at her chest and says i wouldn't like to say madam, whats all that about!

[lindylou]

Another ad that is very irritating is the one for the washing powder 'Surf' ..
the women in some exotic place somewhere, and they all say ''paradise'' in very irritating accents !! :rolleyes: :)

[lindylou]

Two more very annoying ads ;

Clover. ''We all love Clover''

Those people eating corn on the cob with Clover on ... but the gormless expressions on their faces !! ... and it looks like they have tears running down their cheek ! :confused: .. they must be so overwhelmed by the Clover ! :rolleyes:


The other ad that really sets my teeth on edge is the one for 'Mars Delight' - there is a very annoying little ditty on it sung by an annoyingly cheerful voice, something like ;

'Jadda, Jadda,
Jadda, Jadda,
Jing, Jing, Jing'

:doubt:

[Scousemouse]

Then there's that poisoned dwarf in the oversized green overall floggin' cars- or more to the point LOANS at exhorbitant rates. I'd love to say 'yes' if some idiot would pay me three times the going rate for a loan!
Doorstep lender Provident closed it's struggling 'Yes Car Credit' company with the loss of 820 jobs only three years after buying it for £77million. It's closure is reckoned to cost £141million!

Well, that's one series of duff adverts out of the way then! :rolleyes:

[lindylou]

Special K 'drop a jean size' .... the girl in a red jacket dancing at the end of the ad ... irritates the hell outta' me ... that very annoying little dance she does ... grrr ! :rolleyes:

[victorialush]

Quote yourself happy!



Grrrr, quote yourself a smack in the mush!!

[lindylou]

Quote yourself happy!



Grrrr, quote yourself a smack in the mush!!

[Kev]

Radio Ads:

118 118 - call center ads, where the call center people are so over friendly, acting like your bezzie mate :rolleyes:

[victorialush]

Every single advert between 7am and 11.30am on a Sunday morning.

Dolls, dolls houses, terrifying toys, irritating jingles sang by kids... it all melts into one 5 minute mini film of white noise and violent colour.
Uuurrgghhh.

[Kev]

[sweetpatooti]

What about the Tena Lady Ads in the middle of countdown - my kids laugh themselves senseless!!! (They can be insensitive) - but, sympathetic as I am to those problems - how do you explain that away to kids??:unibrow:

[victorialush]

What about the Tena Lady Ads in the middle of countdown - my kids laugh themselves senseless!!! (They can be insensitive) - but, sympathetic as I am to those problems - how do you explain that away to kids??:unibrow:

LOL! Just tell them that when you get old you revert to being a baby... so you wet yourself only on coughing and sneezing occasions, oh and when you laugh too... and when you get even older it would be good for someone to feed you and take you the toilet :)

[lindylou]

Have you noticed how these ads about bodily functions are usually on when you are having your tea !! ..... Tena lady, Tampax ads,toilet paper and toilet smells !! people blowing their snotty noses, people talking about their false teeth and how they stay in while they have a snog ! :shock: ! Ugh!

:rolleyes:

[lindylou]

I see those Marks & Sparks ads are back ! The ones for food .... you know,

''not just food, but M&S food'' ........ we suffered it all the weeks running up to Xmas - and now we have them back for Easter - '' not just Hot Cross Buns, but M&S Hot Cross Buns'' !!! (I'm tearing my hair out !!)

I don't know which is worse - the M&S or the Iceland ads with Kerry !! :eek:

[Kev]

The new Frosties Advert - nuff said. 'Theyre gonna taste greaat'..

[Paul D]

You know the one "you buy one you get one free I say you buy one you get one free" that annoying manc accent grates me!:mad:

[lindylou]

[lindylou]

'' Na Na Na, .. Na, Na, Na, .. Na, Na, Na, ..

ASDA advert.

[Kev]

The new Dove advert

[lindylou]

The new Dove advert

not sure if I've seen that one yet - how does it go ?

[Kev]

Oh, i cant remember - just annoys me.

[Kev]

That one - 'Sarah's Mum'. Sarah's Mum says......Sarah's Mum says......Sarah's Mum says......Sarah's Mum says......Sarah's Mum says......

[bazzacat]

Picture the Loan- where the guys missus is filming him on the phone(?), "you can have an adult conversation with those guys"- thats the selling point?

Theres an annoying one on "Smooth FM" for the "Spanish Property Centre", with a woman with fake spanish accent warbling the name of the company to the accompnyment of guitars

I aslo hate the Asda kids singing ones, "Sarahs Mum" etc!

Safestyle, kind of like it in a crappy way

Also "There gonna tase great" frosties ad, with that irritating kid

[Kev]

Also "There gonna tase great" frosties ad, with that irritating kid

Annoying but catchy at the same time, its in your head now, try not to think about it go on.....Its gonna taste great....empire state....ladies who wait....even a pie -rate

[matt]

http://www.confused.com/images/confusedFrontpageTop.gif

I hate that one for confused.com where this little fella turns into that nobhead who starts going "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, does looking for car insurance drive you crazy?"

No, you do you blirt!

The advert I LOVE is the Maltesers one with the two women in the office, where one says she doesn't feel very naughty by eating a Malteser so flashes her bra at a bloke in the office and he falls over and drops all the files!
Always p!ss meself at that one.

Best get some Tena lady LOL :lol:

[victorialush]

[Kev]

that irritating kid ... my dad says he needs a kick up the ar-e :D

[sweetpatooti]

I hate those "consolidation" loan adverts where they are all sad and filmed in black and white and then when they get the loan the film turns to colour and the sun comes out....can't think what the metaphor is there:disgust:

oh and I hate the Norwich Union one where she falls off the chair and kicks her legs in the air - serious health and safety issues there...in fact I hate all Norwich Union ads.

[Kev]

Picture The Loan makes me laugh, they have really marketed it towards the 'just surviving' working family group.

Whilst remortgaging our house a while ago - I refused to become drawn in to the 'reps' conversations about what football team I supported and how much nursery fees are compared to London but its hard. I was that guy talking about football, whilst the wife was in stitches. I felt like I'd made a new mate.

[bazzacat]

anyone remember one from a few years back for shampoo , I think, with some self loving woman saying something along the lines of :

He said "youre really lucky", to which I replied "YOURE the lucky one"

ie hes so lucky to be with her- I really hated it!!!

Also those Loreal Ads which say "endorsed by the British Skin Foundation"- if that isnt an industry funded bogus institution I dont know what is!!!

Ads for cosmetics/ shampoo with white coated scientists and bogus science- "the oxy ceramides protien mollecules will strengthen your hair"- what crap!!

[victorialush]

Any advert with 'new improved' in it.... so are they admitting the last lot was rubbish?

[julia]

Three kids on a bench. One of them is talking her head off: Blah blah blah blah blah blah, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap. One of the other kids hands her a sports-lid-type bottle of water (Dunno which brand). She drinks it, thereby shutting her up, and the other two kids look very relieved.

If the girl is so annoying, why do the other two hang out with her?

Wouldn't it be a lot cheaper to just duct (duck) tape her mouth shut?

Why, based solely upon witnessing this commercial, should I buy their product as opposed to the other guys'? Are they trying to get me to buy for the highly unlikely and unfortunate event that I am trapped in an enclosed space (e.g., bus) with such an annoyingly vociferous person and need an emergency on-the-spot pacifier/dummy? :202:

[julia]

What about the Whiskas 'Oh So Fishy' commercial? Why is the cat seeing imaginary fishies made out of yarn swimming around in the bathtub?! Seems there may be some stuff in this cat food you wouldn't want your cat getting a hold of.....:retard:

Also, what regional accent does this woman have? In general, I like British accents. But there's something really grating about the way the woman in this commercial talks.

[Kev]

That Rice Crispies advert - wot the hell is a poo stick?

[matt]

It's not a poo stick, it's a light sabre!!

[Kev]

It's not a poo stick, it's a light sabre!!

Whats a poo stick?! I think thats disgusting :shock:

[victorialush]

Whats a poo stick?! I think thats disgusting :shock:

Pooh stick is what Winnie the Pooh played.

Stand on one side of the bridge with your mates with the current floating under, drop the stick and run to the other side of the bridge to see whos sticks comes under first.... thats pooh sticks :D

[Kev]

Oh, right. Well the advertisers should not assume then that we all know that fact :)

[lindylou]

I've never heard of poo sticks either ! :shock:

I laughed at your post Kev ( ''I think that's disgusting'' ) ha,ha ! :D

[bazzacat]

The Ocean Finance one, with a guy shipwrecked on an island, puts out stones to sprll "SOS", eventually sees a ship coming. The mystery sailor (we never see him) allows the guy a shave, change of clothes and a nice drink to top it off!

The Admiral ones, with that idiot and a parrot. That ad agency must be geniuses, putting the fella in an admirals costume, just where to the ideas come from???

Funnily enough, in a pub a while back, a drunken old lady was passing comment with a freind on various other drinkers. "Youre alright", she said about me, "sitting there like Lord Nelson". ?????????

I dont have an eye patch or anything, whats that about??

[lindylou]

[Kev]

The new Halifax gangster hiphop ad

[wallasey]

I don't like the new ASDA Adverts. Why do they need to have kids singing cr*p songs? Go back to the older ones or nick the old Tesco Mother in law as she was good. No, the new ASDA ads really do drive me up the wall.

The Ad with Tim Healy doing the voice-over gets me goat too. I hate his accent and I wouldn't trust what he says with a bargepole (bad experciance of Geordies; don't ask!)

I also saw the new Ultralase ad today aswell. All it is is a nude woman on a pedistall using her hands to cover up the explicit bits. Now surely that is softcore porn? How can that be a daytime TV ad? I hope no kids were watching at the time. I mean, how many people want cosmetic surgery only to have to show off every knook and crannie on international TV? They must be mad. I wonder how long it will be before someone complains?

Finally, the Caniston Atheletes Foot ad is another of my hates. I really don't want to see a strange blokes foot on TV thank you very much!

[gillian]

'I said u buy 1 - u get 1 free, I said u buy 1 - u get 1 free'

Safestyle windows.
Steady on,that guy lives in Burnley the towns reptations bad enough.

[Kev]

Remember when everyone laughed at cosmetic surgery 20 years ago :rolleyes: How society changes eh? :rolleyes:

eyes and teeth, eyes and teeth.

Vimto - Dad's Pants (http://www.vimto.co.uk/default.aspx)

I hate that new advert with the kids in the changing room, the lad then jumps off a diving board with massive underpants. I think the advertisers are trying too hard with that one, trying to create a Bugsy Malone soundtrack vibe with the kids singing etc.

[wallasey]

Steady on,that guy lives in Burnley the towns reptations bad enough.

But I like Burnley! It grows on you, honest!

[bazzacat]

Good grief, Cheryl Baker now resorting to doing Safestyle ads...but the worst bit is the line "dont worry about making your mind up"! Cringe.....

[sweetpatooti]

I hate the Virgin

trains ad the one with the Native Americans chasing the train - what is that all about - makes no sense at all. And that first class carriage looks cr@p.

Virgin trains don't even stop at Liverpool South Parkway anyway.

[Kev]

Girly Gala

Bingo ads on tele.

Radio ad for Frosties were the kids are 'suppose' to phone in and sing 'its gonna taste great'. What a blag

[PhilipG]

Radio Ads:

118

118 - call center ads, where the call center people are so over friendly, acting like your bezzie mate :rolleyes:

I worked on the Vodafone

Call Centre for 6 months.
We were told to smile while we spoke.
I was told I didn't sound cheerful enough, so I told them it was a miserable

job!

BTW, I've never had a mobile phone! :)

[lindylou]

I've never had a mobile phone either - and I don't intend to get one. :)

[drone_pilot]

we have had ads we like, how about ads that get up your nose.

Ill start with the safe style windows, the one where some bald guy shouts at you,
you buy one you get one free,

God i'd love to slap him.

[Kev]

Any Dove advert showing supposedly 'real' women, constantly confident, bouncing around with silly smiles on their faces, they make me cringe, the are all actresses and in the business anyway. Don't buy Dove, ladies.

[gorgeous]

CILLIT BANG .


Hi I'm Barry Scott . ARGHHHHHHH

[shytalk]

I'm at a disadvantage here, the Brit TV I get has had the ads removed. I'm not complaining though. :)

[phredd]

Any add that mentions "The British Skin Foundation"
Who thought of that one ?

[lindylou]

[lindylou]

I already posted this on the third page of this thread - - but it's SO annoying it deserves another mention - - the M&S Food ads - grrr ! how long are we going to be subjected to these infuriating ads !! That voice !! those ridiculous descriptions of the food .. ''not just any food .. M&S food'' .. :angry:

we get them Christmas, Easter and all year round.

Lucky you lol. Its rubbish!! It's in a hairdressers and the music is to Diamonds are a girls best friend.

How about the Halifax ones with Howard singing, god there so Naff i just hit the mute button when he comes on.

[steveb]

The loan ad were the woman is on the phone and says £25,000
Bet she dosn't realise it is secured on her house, as 99% are, and
she pays back £43.000 15 years later, like Safestyle, buy outright
£3000, on credit over 10 years, £8500. What gets me is the well
know people doing the adds, most are millionaires, and don't need a loan

[Klaatu]

That black and white cartoon one...
bum, bum, bum. bum...Esso Blue!...

(Think I've gone back a bit too far there!)

[lindylou]

I don't like that ad were there's a little lad sitting on the loo saying 'phoo it stinks .. ( or something to that effect) - - talk about 'that's more information than we need !!'

- then he goes on to say, 'it's all gone, it's all gone' - think he means the air freshener spray ! :rolleyes:

it's a horrible ad, his whiney voice makes it worse !! :PDT_Xtremez_12:

[scouse smurf]

I dislike with a passion the car adverts were the kids go on about the parents doing this and that, and it's probably just a phase they're going through. I think they're for a people carrier

To be honest, I don't like most of the adverts were either kids are made out to be cleverer than the adults or the ones were the bloke is soooo stupid but the woman is clever (ok thats probably true in real life too lol)

Gotta admit I like the BT adverts, they're like the less cheesy version of the gold blend adverts

[lindylou]

The one at the moment that is irritating is a car insurance one.
L V.com

I don't like the deep voice singing : ''dum diddy dum diddy dum !!'' :PDT_Xtremez_42:

[SteH]

The autoglass ones on the radio do my head in,when Gavin tells a boring story about someone whose holiday journey got delayed because a chip on their windscreen turn ed into a crack. No wonder car insurance is so high when he's reminding everyone that chips are usually repaired for free under the cover.

Me too, he chats with that annoying informal way like he's a mate doing you a favour.

I hate the one thats been on recently. A catalogue firm for women were there's a suit for particular scenarios, ie, when you dump a fella etc...

[Diane]

It's definitely the sheilas wheels advert one for me ! their voices make me cringe ! wish the car would drive over a cliff and we'd get rid of the lot of them !

I've heard through the grapevine the gals who sing it - called The Sheilas - are gonna release a record !

aaarrrrrgh !

[lindylou]

I got sick of hearing that one - they played it so often.

[lindylou]

Here's a really annoying one : the Hastings.com ad .. that cartoon knight singing and dancing .. he needs a kick up the backside as my dad would say! lol !

[Kev]

The Ad about the Internet Search Engine 'ASk', Its all Manchester/ Manchester United :PDT_Xtremez_12:

[brian daley]

The t.v. ads we have today are like Hollywood productions when compared to the early days.When ITV first started in the North West,a lot of the adverts were broadcast live and I remember one in particular which was for Lurpak Danish butter.It was being introduced into the U.K. market and the advert had a beautiful young blonde lady,wearing a faux danish folk dress,with a micro skirt to show off her gorgeous legs.Smiling nervously at the camera she said,"Lurpak butter is...er..erm.." a voice in the background said "Is made from the milk of Danish cows," which she repeated,and then stuttered into silence again ,when the voice in the background fed her the next line,and so on until the end of the advert.When you think of,it worked, because I've never forgotten it
Aah,those lovely days of gas television,watch out for a bit more in my story.
BrianD

[Ged]

Will do.

[lindylou]

2 horrible ads on at the moment that I don't like:

The Baileys Irish cream one - the girl shaking the cocktail maker and her face is shown in slow motion - she looks like a Basset Hound shaking it's head !! horrible !!


An advert for Thorntons - have you seen the latest one ? it's horrible :eek:

I thought Thorntons ads were usually cheery and nice. This one is weird.

[iain]

All the sofa and january sales ads that we'll be flooded out with at Christmas. They've not started yet but I loathe them :unibrow:

[Cadfael]

2 horrible ads on at the moment that I don't like:

yeah, and all the 'book a fabulous holiday now' ads :rolleyes:

[lindylou]

The one with the small kid? He's ODD!

isn't he !! :shock:

what's the matter with Thorntons ?? the whole ad is weird - not a bit Christmasy - it would put anyone off going to buy their chocolates ! :)

[John(Zappa)]

I don't like that ad were there's a little lad sitting on the loo saying 'phoo it stinks .. ( or something to that effect) - - talk about 'that's more information than we need !!'

- then he goes on to say, 'it's all gone, it's all gone' - think he means the air freshener spray ! :rolleyes:

it's a horrible ad, his whiney voice makes it worse !! :PDT_Xtremez_12:

Awe,that little brat.I woulda been told to open the window and make sure I have wiped and washed properley at that age.
I'd love to shove the little squirts head down the bog!!

[Diane]

What about the xmas ads !

Youve got Lulu advertising Morrisons ! as if this millionaire would shop in there ! ha ha !

Then the Spice Girls advertising Tesco ! - i heard a rumour they got a million pounds EACH advertising them !

Sainsburys stick with Jamie Oliver !

BAH HUMBUG !

[Diane]

Question - why is Colleen Nolan advertising Iceland with Kerry Katona ? just curious !

[Diane]

I am getting fed up with all the 'buy my new keep fit DVD's' that are coming out by these so called celebrities that you dont hear about from adam from one year to the next ! Think i'll bring one out next year !

[lindylou]

Two ads really setting my teeth on edge at the mo;

Slim Fast bars. The most irritating song ever !!
'' funky, chunky, fruity - and something about 'good for my booty' argghh !! (I can't stand that stupid word booty !!) and it's sung with an irritating voice to an irritating tune.


Then there's the other one, Hellimans squeezy.
''On ! Off! On ! Off! On !

drives me mad !

[quincyg]

Churchill...oh yes? OH NO!
or even worse...the double glazing ad... with that annoying ************** yelling you buy one you get one free.


why can't they be more like that ING ad with the dog in the open car and the breeze blowing through his fur http://www.visit4info.com/sitecontent/LG/fullZZZZZZTVC080516092112PDC.jpg:PDT_Piratz_26:

[SteH]

Those digital switchover ones on the radio are doing my head in, 'Ask Digit-Al'and he replies to a made up question in a condescending tone. Worst of the lot though, makes me switch over (thankfully not on too much as must cost a packet as 2 minutes long) is the Panarama Kitchens one where its done like Sunscreen by Baz Luhrmann.

Yep, far more annoying than Ted Moult was -always amused me how he'd go on about how great double glazing was, then say 'okay Reg turn the fan on'. Reg is stood outside and heard everything he said :unibrow:

[seasidenan]

Any ad that feels the need to SHOUT :unibrow: All the sofa ads and all the stores who have continual 'sales' but try to convince us that they're something special and will only last 5 days or something :eek: Do they think we are all stupid enough to fall for all the guff?

You don't know what annoying means 'till you see the "Head On', commercial.

[lottie]

I hate the Muller 'Lick the lid of life' ads as i have been telling my kids for years to 'stop licking the lids, you'll cut you tongue' now they say 'see everyone does it' :disgust: Also the cereal 'Coco pops' one where the kids ask for some chocolate cereal after school, i have always told my kids that cereal is a breakfast food, now it's on tv that it's great after school :disgust:

[knowhowe]

Anything involving bloody Garnier drives me nuts. And even more so those toothpate ads featuring smarmy 'personal trainer' types talking to a non-existant interviewer off screen and featuring deeply irritating smart arse camera angles and cuts.
Also- total agreement with every other posting so far! How can ad men get it so wrong so often and still manage to get their crap on TV at, no doubt, obscene cost to their clients?

[Chris48]

I hate the Topps for tiles advert and the song at the end "I'll feel good". What makes you feel so good about Topps for tiles?

Then there is the short fast Sheilas wheels at the end of the weather forecast at dinnertime when they are singing and dancing at double time.God!!!

Then there is that advert with the Geordie woman "we want to borrow twenty five thousand pounds" and "Your scooter is in the garage". Smarmy bit**. She needs strangling with her knicker elastic!

[lindylou]

Marks & Spencer are to drop their food tv ads - hooray !! :handclap:

.. you know - those highly irritating descriptions of their 'food - not just any food' ads :rolleyes:

[chippie]

Always irritated me that Eamon Hess advert :ninja:

[Anita]

Nothing more annoying to me than all those online Bingo adverts, why are there so many? Its like a new national sport.

Alternatively, my favourite advert is the little jelly teddy that shouts "bring on the trumpets", I think its for Maynards sweets and it makes me laugh every time :)

[lindylou]

Although I am a dog lover, I hate that Churchill Bulldog that says ''yes!, oh yes! '' - - - it's the voice I don't like. If they had another voiceover maybe it wouldn't be as annoying.

[lindylou]

Always irritated me that Eamon Hess advert :ninja:

what's the Eamon Hess advert ? I don't know it.

[Mark R]

The Lynx adverts. They should be up before the trading standards commission. I use it and am never surrounded by beautiful women :disgust:

That DFS is doing my head in at the moment. The "rockstar" tune was ok when it first came out but that advert has now killed it.:PDT_Xtremez_42:

[anonymouse]

That ad for toilet rolls?the one with that bloody baby dressed as a businessman?it gets right up my nose!

...and on the subject of noses... the Sudofed ad?talking about snot... usually on when you're having a meal!! Yuk! disgusting!! :disgust:

I don't like the baby businessman either.

[seasidenan]

I hate all the 'if there's blame there's a claim' ads.
ALL the sofa ads.
All the ads that tell you 'at a price you can afford'
Those that say Half price plus an extra 20% off.
All the Life Insurance ads for over 50's - so patronising

The list is endless

[steveb]

Same here !!

I 2nd that. The DFS add is really the most annoying one on TV

[lindylou]

me too - those sofa ads are like a form of brain washing :PDT_Xtremez_12:

and those claims ads - they really annoy me - another symptom of todays see what yer can get for nowt society :PDT_Xtremez_12:

You hear some tunes now and think of sofas ! Definately a form of brainwashing :(

[Cadfael]

I hate any TV ads. The mute button is always pressed.

Although I utterly HATE the 'Cartridge World' ads that come on every sodding break after an ITV4 programme. If you're watching a 70's programme, they come on and talk to you in a degrading way and remind you that 2000's have been a crap time for ads in general.

[lindylou]

I always try to turn down the sound for the ads.

[shytalk]

When I get shows from UKnova most of the time the ads have been removed. :)

[Gerry]

I hate those Cilit Bang adverts were they shout at you as if your some moron who is going to rush out and buy just becasue he shouts.

[John(Zappa)]

Barry Scott

Him the loud mouth. I know exactly what you mean but have you noticed he's calmed down?
The stuff is crap by the way:PDT10

[quincyg]

those Budweiser ads are getting on my nerves, especially when they come on straight after the DFS one .

thankfully the Starburst ad with the guy on the horse has gone. the one were he keeps saying "you love it"

[julieoapw]

Is that the one for double glazing, with the "buy one, get one free" offer? If so, the whole family hates them. We have to turn the sound down when he comes on and we've sworn if we ever need double glazing we won't purchase his on principle. Will make a note of his name now, if that's him!

Oh dear,I like that voice. It's plummy crossed with slightly camp,like a pervy bishop in a Carry On film lol. What is annoying is when they show an ad and then,after a few other ads,have the same ad back but in a slightly edited form,just in case you didn't notice it before. It seems to be popular among car ads. Thanks be for the fast forward button!

Dave.

[LondonBeatlesFan]

I hate those adverts for ladies' personal products. I also hate the Iceland adverts with Kerry Katona.

[wsteve55]

How about the one for "hard stools",with the group of women sitting in a bar/cafe,like they chat about it all the time:nod:

[LondonBeatlesFan]

Yes, that too. I find it so embarrassing. If someone occasionally has a problem with such things, can't they go the chemists? I don't think it's such a common problem that this product has to be widely advertised.

[chazsam]

nearly every advert on TV because most of them do not make any sense and are F***ING iratating. And all they do is spoil a good program when there is one on worth watching that is not a F***ING repeat.:disgust::disgust:

[scouse smurf]

I thought it was a good time to resurrect this thread. I've got 2 adverts that are on the verge of making me wanna kill. One is on the telly and radio and I think the other is just on the radio.

The Telly/ Radio one is the Go Gompare advert
The Radio one is for We buy any car

There seems to be a trend to make adverts with really irritating songs.

Anyway, where can I buy a rifle ? :PDT10

I hear ya Smurf..that is annoying. The most annoying advert on tv for me at the moment is where the ponce in the suit trying to sell a car to a fit classy woman say's "we have it in noir". I could strangle the prat:PDT10

[Bernie]

Come over here, you can buy hunting rifles in Walmart. In the Uk only the crooks have guns because of the ban.

Do they have TV or radio adverts for them with some hunter singing "Shoot a moose, Shoot a moose" etc ?

Only if it's loose!:unibrow:

[Stanier]

I hate the adverts where when they say the price, they never mention HUNDRED, THOUSAND or even POUNDS.
I wonder if they will take matchsticks....
