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.

Its not just her in that ad, its the kid afterwards who says "I take granted for the fings dat wot I ave got". Get teaching them some Maths after an English Lesson :x .

No, your not a PC, you're a tw4t, and what's so good about the idea "something that isn't as sh1t as its predecessor?"

Any ad that is for a product related to:- bloating, women with weak pelvic floor muscles or thrush!

grantus

How about 'celebrities' saying how Sky+ makes their life so easy now they can record any programme??

F*CK OFF!

Ocean Finance - bas*ards! almost makes you want to go back into work rather than lie at home on the Pat n' Mick than put up with 5 minute ad breaks every bloody 10 minutes.

And how many feckin episodes of top gear are there anyway???

I quite like the Meerkats

I love the Meerkats. Also that fit bird in the Corsa ads is cute.

Also ones for 'stool softener' (basically the lager shandy of the laxative world and not fooling anyone) or any ads that use the euphemism 'digestive transit' to describe a poo.
Personally I think that 'digestive transit' is only an acceptable term if used to describe a Ford van full loaded with McVities biscuits.

+1 to what's already been said about the Vauxhall advert - the woman in it is very easy on the eye indeed. Doesn't excuse the the rest of the dire commercial though.

Well, using the mixing bowl of his mum's Kenwood Chef rather than the loo was never going to be a good idea....

'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'?

Cue 'embarrassing over-the-counter medication' thread featuring those products whose brand name contains either the condition itself or the bit of your anatomy that you use it on, and really don't want to be seen or heard buying (Anusol, Diocalm, Germoloids, etc.).

El casei immunitas...that's what you need in your guts. Try it for 2 weeks to see a difference, the advert says. The only difference you're gonna see is on the shopping bill.

Those Iceland adverts do my head in.

Bleach adverts in general...why do I want to kill germs in my bog? Can't remember the last time I leant over the pot to have a shave or filled the kettle from the pan. It's a toilet , I sh1te down it. That's what it's for.

Some painkiller ad too. Girly chopper pilot in pink flying suit has a headache "pre rescue" , takes pill, saves life...hooray all is well in the world again!

The one for Zovirax. Lady with scabby chops keeps bike helmet on so that nobody sees her coldsore.

You buy one, you get one free! I say you buy one you get one free. Why would I even contemplate buying double glazing from an outfit who uses this dumb feck?

I often wonder how much of that they sell here in Birmingham (we have very soft water so it's uttlerly completely pointless...)

As for go comp ads... it's the damn woman moaning about insurance costs that winds me... when they apparently have big detached house & brand new convertible b1tch moan & winge. Yeah right, can't afford insurance. Buy a sensible car then dopey.

I wind MrsK up by reading the small print on ads... (above one has "hardwater areas only" or suchlike for inst). Or the stupidly small sample sizes used in the 8 out of 10 cats prefer it type statements. Or the insurance ads thay tell me they can save me £200 on my car insurance. No they can't. I only paid £180 this year.

We've taken to watching more (ITV stuff) on catchup TV where (remarkably) they edit the ads out

I love this thread so much venting, it's got to be good for the soul.

Helicopter? Pink flying suit? Sounds suspiciously like Mitchell & Webb's 'Helivets' sketches!

Either that, or maybe she's related to The Stig?

Not an advert, but I saw Sting on live afternoon telly the other day. He is just annoying. He was playing folky stuff and now has a large beard, It should be fun and heart warming but it isn't. Am I strange, unnatural dislike of Sting ?

Thats not strange... Sting is a tosspot who sings in an accent that's not his, that's the bit that annoys me about him most anyway. But for me he still pales into insignificance next to podgy, self-appointed member of music royalty, fat-fingered Elton John with his hissy-fitting fat head and laughable hair (don't like his music much either!).

On another note... one advert I like at the moment is the Haribo ad with the little girl doing the interrogation... bet loads of people put that in their annoying category though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAfOwDyZpzs

Sting hatred is a natural emotion. Embrace it, it means you are human.

And have you noticed how many programme trailers now have a logo of some kind on them?

Do They really think that people are so suggestable? Sadly the answer must be yes.

'We buy any car.'

Now repeat countless times over annoying soundtrack.

Nuff said.

There was one being shown last night where a guy started to pull a rat out of his mouth by the tail. Don't know what it was about because the channel got changed every time it came on. I'm sure it's a very effective advert though. :roll:

Think thats a warning info thing about buying drugs online or something... as in you might think you know what you're getting but they might have rat poison in them.

Either that or it was a McDonalds advert.

The answer IS yes

Whether you're all thinking that you're being rational about advertising - research suggests that you haven't got any control over it.

the one advert i connot stand and the channel gets switched whenever if comes on is the vodafone one(think it vodafone anyway) about free texts and the girl says i don't know its mind boggiling thern her mates laughs and says mind boggiling argh i want to punch then in the face

whyamihere

Can't remember the company, but it's a tool/building place with a song to the tune of the hokey kokey.

Makes me homicidal.

Any advert for small dog or cat food, ie felix. Fcuking hate cats and seeing tuck into "moist meaty chunks" when I'm eating something, makes me want to barf like a chicken.

Richard 'hamster' Hammond in his Morrisons ads...
Like a pathetic wee tw4t, trying to relive his youth... Long haired poof!

Actually, Hammond in anything, gets my goat.
Not being a gurl, I don't get the cute side!
