Go Compare advert / Most annoying adverts

mfin

Does anyone NOT hate the new Go Compare (opera singer) adverts so much that they'd like to take a bat into their offices and smash the place up?? ...and the Meerkat crap, what is it with adverts that try to be funny? ...there's very very very few that ever truely are? (tis good when one is though)

I know these ads are designed to drum the name into you but I got to make my own little stance this week when I had to insure my car, was looking online and made sure I went to neither of these two on principal for polluting my telly with annoying crap.

What other advert's wind people up??

Those sh1t teddy things going 'c'mon' on the Vauxhall Sh1tmobile adverts are another one...

Adverts have done their job then. You're talking about them and by default the product. They are not all to make you buy stuff but raise "Brand Awareness"

I like the meerkat one. "Sergey, more bubbles" How can you NOT find that funny?

+1, I wont use Companies whose ads drive me nuts. Did my car insurance through confused.com recently. The next person who says "simples" during a conversation with me is quite likely to get a fecking slap. Do Companies believe that all advertising works? Do TV Companies not realise that quite a few of us change channel and do not come straight back as we have found something else to watch on one of the 100+ channels available to us?

The drive sexy peugeot ad, "fact me" she says, oh fick off. The new Gillette ads with 3 of my very least favourite sportsmen. The list is endless, but there is an ad for mouthwash or something that starts of in a field of grass with a very fit naked burd, my first thought was WTF has this got to do with mouthwash, then she turns around and she has tooth missing and is therefore not as attractive as first thought, good ad.

Too many hates to mention, agree with all those posted so far...

Oh, Peter C0ckwit Jones in the Money Supermarket ad!

"Seems like a good deal to meeeeeee...." as he roars off on his trolley.

Seems like a twunt to meeeeeeee....aaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

But I do like 'Green Arrrrmy!'

One for the Yid army -


'SIMPLES'

I thought the Virgin Robbie Keane one was quite good. They should have pointed out that the returrn to London was several Million pounds cheaper . Agreed that the Green Army ad is top drawer, Dietmar Van Nostrilboy, marvellous 8)

Not normally a problem for me as I am one of the 10%, but the holiday cottage I rented had freeview. The synchronised ad breaks did me in. As you say ad break, change channel. How Sky viewers cope with hundreds of channels all on ad breaks at once I don't know. I think with a bit of effort you can watch nothing but Friends and Top Gear for 24hrs.

So it's not just me that can't stand them, then. Apparently you can buy said Vauxhall soft toys as car accessories. Why??? :?

I feel normal again, agree with the examples given, although I am with TakeTheHighRoad on the Meerkat thing.

I will never buy a Vauxhall, or go to Go Compare or sell my non-Vauxhall to webuyanycar (I have to switch the radio off when that comes on :evil: (the same as Jeremy Vine :evil: )), they make me brand beware more than aware.

+1 & +1 but theres only 1 Green Army worth talking about.

We are the Spartans, we are Blyth Spartans coo-coo-ca-choo.

Ads featuring Michael Winner,Shane Ritchie,actors pretending to be real people( e.g.sensodyne ads)the Halifax ones where they break out in song,the kitchen towel ad with the two burly trannies, anything voiced by Sean Bean....I could go on but the thought is bringing my blood up to boiling point!

mfin

Well brought up re: the Halifax one... there's no way I'd ever go to them for anything cos their adverts are unforgiveable... there were a few of them weren't there? most people remember Howard but what about that frumpy great big woman in a trouser suit singing badly and nearly cracking the tarmac dancing in a load of traffic, just who is that supposed to appeal to?

I want to do a poo at Pauls house?!?!?!?!

And the other annoying one where the boy keeps going I wanna poo I wanna poo just so he can go press the smelly thing or the good bog roll whatever it is.

It really winds me up :oops:

That tit-face who's forming a superband with all the free (ie you actually pay for them) texts for life from T-Mobile.

What an absolute numpty. I hope his guitar string snaps, coils around his neck and strangles him slowly to death.

Very slightly off-topic, has anyone seen that "Dude, where's your railcard?" advert at train stations? It's the first time I've ever wanted to punch a drawing of somebody, but his pasty little face and skaters haircut.... :evil: .

spot on


I went for a poo at Pauls house once. now I'm on some sort of register and not allowed within 50 yards of his toilet.

can I add all the program trailers for programs that are on in two minutes time on the same channel

I can't stand all the gold. "send us your gold". Makes me think I am watching too many chavvy channels.

How can this thread have got this far without mention of the Disposable Furniture Sham?

"Think arson this christmas"

disgruntledgoat

That Pantene one last year used to send me into fits of rage

"I don't mind winter, but not what it does to my hair" IT DOESN'T MAKE A LICK OF SENSE! GAAAAHHHH!

That bloody sensodine one too "It goes into this kind of froffy fffoaminess" Shut up you fat tongued idiot!

Speaking of which... The teaching one where the fat tongued teacher links a kids mobile going off in class to kids stitching footballs whilst chained to radiators "wicked phfffone!" and "I love your honesty!" make me cringe every time. Chuffing lefties, get teaching them some maths! Grrr.

And of course there are the annoying and sinister HMG adverts telling you how you should live your life. They don't seem to be suffering the Hard Times in the advertising industry, in fact HMg is now the biggest advertiser, unnerving eh?

Pross

Aaaah, I've joined too late to vent my spleen and reading everyone else's post has just put them in my head :evil: The other problem is that when there is an advert I like it gets so overdone it too becomes annoying (e.g. the Meerkat ones!). We buy any car is the worst followed by Go Compare. The Vauxhall ones would be far better if the cuddly toys stole the car and the good looking bird's towel fell off IMHO

Cressers

As if the adverts in the ad breaks wern't bad enough they are bounded by the adverts of whoever is sponsoring the programme. Do TV executives ever pause to wonder why audiences are falling or what sort of cultural pollution they are unleashing?

tgardi

Why does the Corsadil mouthwash advert require a toothless bird to flash her @rse?
Why am I complaining?
I think its great

Aggieboy

'Vagisil'. Admittedly, I know sweet 'fanny adams' (see what I did there?) about advertising, but who the hell came up with that name for their cream and wipes!!? What woman wants to go to the chemist and say 'Can I have some Vagisil wipes please' in front of all and sundry.
What's next in their line, 'Cockcream'?
