Adverts that make you want to hit things.

[CyberRose]

Black And Decker adverts make me wanna hit things

 

[kea]

oh and also 'mini-mes' - the recent rash of ads all featuring some kind of small, ugly animal supposedly representing the person's soul/subconscious/personality/financial sense/whatever.
i think the lottery one with faye ripley and the unicorn was the worst, tho that one for chocolate was possibly even more annoying .....

 

[poului]

"Hello Moto"

ardently seconded.

 

[chio]

It's not just the frog these days - it's the fact that the entire breaks on music channels are taken up with these shouty adverts telling us to text 33333 or 88888 or some other inane combination of digits to get a character or a game or something on our phones. They have around ten minute breaks in which these ads are repeated three or four times each - it's tantamount to torture!

 

[jodal]

Agreed, and the adverts with a guy in a costume. They fuck me off. Its like saying; "well we cant think of anything funny but if we put this guy in a crappy costume people will laugh and buy our product/service". Its highly annoying.

 

[stavros]

"Sales calls; never a good time" really makes me think "Jeremy Clarkson; never a good time".

 

[i_hate_beckham]

"Hello Moto"

Thats my ring tone on my motorola, i like it.

 

[red rose]

Anyone noticed how the woman on the ocean finance advert has gone from wearing a smart suit to a white blouse and a pleated grey skirt? She looks like a school girl

 

[Cloo]

They annoy the fuck out of me as well.

pity someone with techie knowledge can't hack them.

Sinisterly I saw one of those bus screens showing an ad for Narconon - the caring anti-drugs charity that's a front for Scientology. Twunts.

 

[jiggajagga]

The Halifax ads Naff to the 'nth' degree!

 

[Pingu]

Those More>Than adverts - that dog "Lucky" has to die some day....

he died the other month



the ones that piss me off are the ones that are obvuously originallly in german, or sweedish, and hgave some really badly dubbed english voiceover


"yes new boxbollck bangy will make your pans shine well sparkly"

fuck off...

 

[undercover]

Howard from the Halifax

Agreed !

And also matey from The Royale Family doing those "quote me happy" insurance ads. The words "type" and "cast" spring to mind, I see a very exciting career ahead for him.
Can't even think what insurance company it's for, so that ad's working well then...

 

[Rollem]

That car (Saphira/Zafira or summat) one with the two kids meeting their neighbour's kid - where they all pretend to be grown up and the last word it "overtired"....

Fucking winds me up!

i'd like to shut them in the boot of the car....

also hate "it's just a metaphor" (some drink ad?) well shove your metaphor up you arse then darling

and the one with the guy on the phone arranging a loan while his missus videos him doing it. (why? why?!? look you can have a video camera if you borrow some money! ) "no forms to fill in, great, one less job for her!" yeah, free's her time up to clump you one over the head with the video camera and do a runner with the £25k you have just borrowed, innit

 

[Belushi]

The latest KFC campaign that tries to persuade us that their mechanically recovered meat products are soul food

 

[Belushi]

Arent they the clown that tried to rip off the Ed's website designs?

 

[Stigmata]

Those Cheerios ads with their unique lack of irony.

Those fucking zoom zoom ads. Any advert where they think a little kid whispering something is a cool effect. EA does this with computer games as well.

The new esure ones without Michael Winner.

I also really hate the Virgin Trains advert with all the classic film stars. It's very well done, but extremely pompous IMO.

 

[Belushi]

The new esure ones without Michael Winner.

I never would have thought they could have come up with a more annoying advert than the winner ones, but they have managed it with that fucking american mouse

 

[King Biscuit Time]

I saw an advert last night for some of that White/Brown hybrid bread muck, (I forget the brand, so the advert failed in that respect ).

Family sat around a big wooden table in an old farmhouse, recycling stuff and wearing wooly jumpers husband says - 'We haven't had white bread since 1989'. Wife says - 'This white breads ok' at which point I fully expected the slogan to come up.

Kingsmill bread - The White Bread that it's OK for Middle Class people to eat

really got my goat!

Actually, I just remember I saw that advert at the pictures, not on telly

 

[KellyDJ]

Any advert advertising ring tones but especially the one with the crazy frog.

 

[tom k&e]

Anything using the term "today's hectic lifestyles" or anything close to it. Yes ladies, modern office jobs are incredibly arduous compared to working the land or mining coal!

 

[liberty]

Special K
Anything for Esure

It's the terrorists sending secret messages to each other.

 

[Negativland]

Any advert where they think a little kid whispering something is a cool effect. EA does this with computer games as well.

Those are the ones that get the bile rising, "skittles, taste the rainbow", wheezes some breathy twat, "magnum, soo fuckin sexy it's practically porn", sexy it is not.

 

[milesy]

any "kandoo" advert. and that advert for nappies that scares little kids into thinking that if they wet themselves the whole universe will vanish...that's really gonna help!!!

 

[stavros]

Anything with an annoying brand jingle that "has" to be included (Maybelline, Danone, McDeath, etc) but over them all anything with an Intel pentium processor in (cue suicide-inflictingly annoying jingle).

 

[trashpony]

Current most hated are DfS, KFC and those ones with Linda Barker (cannot believe no one has mentioned them before!). Also despise anything that implies periods are fun if you just have the right tampons. Oh yes, and anything medical - headache pills, nausea tablets, and in particular the one that implies if only the woman had packed the larium, they'd all be having a lovely holiday - are irritating as fuck.

 

[Backatcha Bandit]

If the 'Crazy Frog' makes you want to hit things - > why resist it? (flash)

Very therapeutic.

It's like crack cocaine with a purpose.
