It's Beginning to Look a Bit Like............

....................I'll have to buy a new TV after Christmas, 'cos if I hear that effing Asda advert one more time I will put my foot through my own one. Somebody please tell me this is the most INFURIATING advert ever!!

-liam-

haha !

Just found myself singing it as I read the title of your thread.

Not exactly sure about the Asda advert you're refering to, but I am damn sure that that Nokia (I think) advert with the lame cover of "He's got the whole world in his hands" is an affront to my viewing pleasure of Miricale on 34th Street during the breaks.

Who on Earth thought a remake of a crappy camp-fire song would be an excellent idea to sell mobile phones?

The M&S advert is pretty annoying

Mayniac

Well, if you will go watching telly, you've only yourselves to blame. ( No. I don't)

What makes me laugh are the people who pay for Sky, and then watch the adverts. If some sales and marketing monkey wants me to watch that drivel, he'd be paying me.

Steve Bruce cringes when that ad comes on as it's his brother, I think, who plays Barry Scott.

Has anyone heard the Garmin advert on commercial radio - the one with what sounds like an American woman singing and trying to convince me to 'give a garmin'? Nasty...

NWLondoner

The halford sponsorship bumps on Dave get on my nerves. Especially the one about a Safety Test for all new bikes :shock:

OffTheBackAdam

Lincs FM keeps playing this bloody ad for the Sony Centre, telling me that if I walk past it, I'll miss all these wonderful savings!
I'd walk straight past the effing place as a matter of principal now, even if I was going to buy a 50" plasma screen telly!

Yesh, I know that bhat b1tch - she leans on the bloke and says 'As shooon ash poshible'

Aaaaarrrrggghhhh!!!!!!!

I have to turn the box over or to mute if/when that comes on.

Washed up Kerry Katona, a washed up Nolan Sister and washed up Jason Donovan for Iceland. Eff me if thats not the worst ad on TV at the moment.

Can't remember what channel it was we were watching last night at about 10 (??), but the ASDA ad was run about FIVE TIMES in the same ad break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luckily, I was in the kitchen (shouting "for f***'s sake SHUT UP!!!), otherwise the screen might've received a deadly blow.

this thread is the very reason why I

1) don't begrudge the licence fee
2) will never have flippin sky

and when the HD freesat recorders start coming onto the market next year, I shall be getting one of them....

I'm not entirely sure which brand it is, but there's a 4x4 advert which invites you to 'Play with the City' with the aid of their two-ton monstrosity. That really gets on my nerves. By 'Play with the City' I guess they mean 'double park wherever you please, ignore everyone else on the road and and drive like a ******* ****'.

Perfume ads are a constant irritant at this time of year too; Puff Daddy's (sorry, 'Sean John's'), is a particularly egregious example - 'She's unforgivable' - no she isn't, but your back catalogue certainly is. T**t.

"Playing with the City" is all well and good, until said 4x4 gets turned into Bacofoil by a double-deck bus or HGV, then the owner decides they'd rather not play that stupid game after all, and runs home to their mum for TLC and a dab of Savlon instead.

I've got Sky+. Given that you can get Freeview boxes doing roughly the same job for less money now, the words 'millstone' and 'neck' spring to mind.

I'm surprised Iceland kept her on after the This Morning farce. Although it would seem the reason 'Mum's gone to Iceland' is that she's too trollied to cook anything more challenging than ready meals....

I felt so alone ...............now I'm glad it's not just me. Does make you wonder what on earth goes on in an advertising person's head though. How many ads do you watch, which, when they come on, are completely familiar and recognizable, yet you have absolutely no idea what they're for?

Aggieboy

That bloody mini-epic for Chanel No5. No wonder Tom Cruise kicked Nicol Kidman into touch (smells nice though!). The ChainReaction advert I keep getting on this site is a very close second. :x

So who is begrudging the licence fee now?

Me! I dont have a problem with ads as at all long as they are funny or have pretty women in them trying to sell me something I need. Actually what really is beginning to pee me off is the length of the ad breaks themselves. How many times have I forgotten what I was actually watching before Barry Scott tried to sell me Cillit Bang, again.

I dont know why I typed Cillit Bang into Wiki but I did, Barry Scott is played by Neil Burgess who was also in a Brian McFadden video. Brian McFadden was married to?????

AAAAAAHHHHHH! :shock:

Don't know if it's true but I was told the sign for Iceland was the middle finger salute. Brings a new meaning to gone to Iceland.

The other weekend, my girlfriend quite rightly pointed out that perfume ads on telly are a complete waste of time, full stop, since the main s(m)elling point of the stuff can't even play its part in the advert!

Perhaps I should have started a thread ' Is there anyone out there without a telly ? ' . I don't ( never have had except for a brief interlude when someone donated their old one to me when I got my first house . It must have looked empty I'd suppose ) . And yet , I realise now , I see plenty of the mighty beast ( .. I hadn't considered myself to be THAT sociable really :? ) .

Right , my choice would have to be virtually anything flogging squishy furniture . That and the prick from Oldham shouting BOGOFF and violently knocking over his product - windows and double glazing -as he sticks his ugly face into the lens . It looks like it cost two and sixpence to knock up in a low rent studio yet must cost a fortune in air-time .

No, it's Neil Burgess who, I think, has appeared in "Waking the Dead" - his only other claim to fame.
