Annoying adverts of the moment

I hate all the teeth (acid erosion, sensitive teeth etc) adverts that all use vox pop type jerky editing, to make it seem like the person is talking naturally.

And (I haven't seen any for a while) those stu-stu-stu-stu-studio line ads for some sort of shockwave hair stuff because they always seem to have a saxophone in for some reason.

And, of course, all that smug 'because you're worth it' shite.

Last seen circa 1994...the current crop of StudioLine equivalent product are all set in what looks like some kind of North Korean/Chinese re-education camp and the cool rebellious kids are spiking their hair...possibly worse than stu-stu-studio line...
 
thats not studioline! thats umm the one i use. oh bollocks can't remember the name.

The current studio line one is for indsutrtcable hair with lots of skaters in.

Ah that's right, the Studioline dude and his invincible spiky hair. Are the prison camp ones Wella Shockwaves? Good music on one of those, some kinda bashment sounding ting...
 
What's that shampoo advert with the ridiculous statistic....

'Up to 62% women agree it leaves their hair more shiny'. UP TO 62%? What the fuck, so that could be any percentage between 0 and 62? :confused:

At least if you going to use shit, unscientific wording, at least use a convincing figure like 97.5% FFS.
 
the fucking DFS one... yeah the crimbo one already !!!

order now get it time for Crimbo.... i should think so, it's 10 fucking weeks away you CUNTS!

It's because they always use eeny-weeny sample sizes for the focus groups, often under 50, almost always under 100, so can't make a statistically significant comment, so have to say 'up to' to satisfy the ASA, who, if no one has noticed, has become a lot more arsey about the amount of caveat text required in shampoo and other ads where there are any claims about group preferences.

It's still slippery - currently Tesco are running the strapline 'Britain's Biggest Discounter', presumably meaning more products are discounted but LO! read the caveat, which says the statement is based around volume sales and market share, not on quantity or quality (i.e. price) of discount, so altho Asda has more individual products discounted, Tesco sells more discounted products by volume, and hence is the UKs biggest discounter...

:cool:
 
nah its not shockwaves(didn think they were around still)

its umm in a blue tub and ummm errr.

dave

its vo5 clay gunk stuff the boy uses it, voted no 1 hair care product for blokes by fhm :o but yeah the music is aces

yeah any money comparison ones drive me mad, those cheerful period ads, toothpaste/toothbrush ads/lynx adverts/gillette adverts/most car adverts.

I do however love dog food ads:o
 
...and back with yogurts....

I hate the bloody women with their "oooh sometimes I feel ever so bloated" whiny whining.

I can never stop myself from shouting "WELL EAT A BIT LESS YOU STUPID COW"

grrrr :mad:

yeah but "bloating" is commercial speak for i havent done a shit in a week! :D Actually i am a huge fan of those pro biotic yogurt for the exact reasons they state;)
 
The most annoying ad at the moment, and possibly ever, has to be the DFS Rockstar ad. I hate it. Also I had a miscarriage a few weeks ago so all babyfood, nappy and other ads with babies in them make me cry.:(

On the otherhand I really like the ad for The Day After Tomorrow with the deep voiced E4 guy.

"The greatest action hero ever! ------- called Dennis. Saving the world! ------ in a green jumper.":D:D:D

It's the best one since the Ghostbusters ad.

"If there's nothing on, on another channel, then you might as well watch - Ghostbusters!":D
 
Not annoying, but those Xbox 360 ads at the moment are creepy as fuck. :(

Are they the ones with the half heads? Yeah, they're freaky. They remind me of one of the junked robots from AI, but she was supposed to look odd. The ad with the kid's head is extra freaky because, as my daughter says, he look weird even before we see that his brain's been replaced by mechanical pictures.

The ad for Disneyland Paris makes me laugh (in a mean way) because it says Santa's going to Disneyland this year. That's right, kids, there'll be no presents this year - Santa's decided to fuck it all off because he wants to go on rollercoasters!
 
I don't get those "bloated" ones. Is it only woman that get bloated (because they only seem to feature) and why? :confused:
 
One of the things the boyfriend loves most about me is that I hate almost all adverts, its rare for me to go an entire advert break without having a rant. Once there was two adverts in a row that I liked and he celebrated :D

Honourable mention at the moment: the pantenne advert where the voiceover says 'I don't mind winter, but not for my hair.' :mad:

The new DFS radio advert with that Mariah Carey christmas song :mad:

Patronising Pasta Hut :mad:

That mascara one where the woman wears too much eyeliner and acts all annoying :mad:

And as a general rule, all cosmetics, all perfumes, shavers/razors, andie macdowell and E4's 'Estings'

I really like the new CSI Sunday advert where they show a montage of Horatio Caine disappearing off screen though
 
fucking pasta hut. PASTA HUT? are they kidding me?

that pasta looked like a fucking pukebowl anyway. and why are they sharing it? i kow it's the credit crunch but get a grip. tight fuckers.
