Tv Adverts That Drive You Mad !!

To be honest, I hate all adverts, why I stopped watching TV as well. Obviously I watch the occasional TV programme, but most usually on BBC.

But :plusone: about the go compare advert..... :annoyed::bat:
 
Hate all these bl##dy adds that insist that if you call them they will lend you oodles of money to get you out of debt.............:shrug::rules:

Ohh, and those gold adds where people are sending off a £500 bracelet to get a few quid back :bang:
 
DFS...although they seem to sponsor most programs now, even sponsoring Crofts this year.......thats fortunate, it always ends Sunday

Those actimel adverts :puke: FFS they are just ****ing taking the **** "Lets stop discussing the weather and talk about cholesterol???" WTF is that all about? :suspect: It's just expensive ****ing yoghurt :cuckoo:

So you don`t buy Actimel then?



;)
 
The McDonalds one about a pound!

Nothing in it is a pound for starters, two food items advertised are 99p.

Another is ONE POUND TWENTY NINE (1.29), how is that a pound, defies all logic in my opinion and don't get why they ever thought this would work.

One advert among many that are incredulous.

*Splog; it's not ********, it biffitus digestivum! How can anyone live without a bit of biffitus digestivum, or activus regularis? You're all doomed, I tell you! They are the friendly bacteria we need to put the World to rights. I pity all of you doubters. :D

*This post is in no way sponsored by Actimel, Bechemel, Bitumen, Buggerit, or any other companies affiliated with the imaginitive bacteria-naming company.
 
THe DFS sponsorship of whatever it is they sponsored over xmas is entirley appropriate. They use the "just enjoy the show" lyric, forgetting the next line if "I want my money back", as many do when they buy a sofa from DFS.
 
Despite what it says, this is not Ewan McGregor. Has to be the least enthusiatic and worst voice acting ever.

Not a tv ad but we had an ad on our local radio station that featured the sound of a smoke alarm going off, whenever it was heard by listeners it was causing panic in households etc. including ours, they had that many complaints it had to be removed!!.

Yes, along with that We buy any frigging car dot com
 
The lot of them drives me nuts

so wee normally watch the beeb and record any progs on ITV and fast forward through the adds :D
 
What about the Iceland ads.......................

Is this the where ex wannabe stars, show Simon Cowell what happens to them.
 
Adverts for American films with the clichéd deep male voice-over.

Ones for household cleaning products, toothpaste and cosmetics which have obviously been dubbed.

The Thomas Cook ad, for the way Louise pronounces "it" as "urt".
 
All the adverts for hair / eyelash make-up that has in small writing...


"enhanced in post production"



How they are allowed to show an advert that admits it lies is beyond me :bang:
 
Go Compare and the Olympus E-P1 ones. Thank a god for the remote which makes it so easy to flick up or down a channel to avoid them.

Come on Dean, what you mean is remove Jamie from the advert and then replace him with whoever. I would love to spend 2 weeks away on a Caribbean Island with Louise Redknapp :love::love::love::love::love::love:

(Don't click on the link if the music in then 118 247 advert irritates you)

Sorry, Gold, no disrespect to yourself but your username has reminded me of another whole genre of ads that force me to switch channels - all the ones where you can send your old gold off and get offered about 10% of its real value.

Forget the Go Compare ads, they're genius compared to that Esure tripe with Michael Winner in... 'Calm down dear, it's only a commercial'.... GGGRRRRRRRRRR!

why do they employ such shifty looking characters in the adverts, they all look like bank robbers!!!!!!!!!
 
Yardbent said:
hmmm ....i may remember the ad but I will NEVER use the product

so it doesn't work !......:shake:

Interestingly, that horrible series of ads for Esure with Michael Winner, actually increased enquiries by some 250,000 in the year they were first aired, so it works for some people.

Sad but true...

Another one just been on, where Daddy only gets a new job because he's used hair colouring to get rid of a few greys (not squirrels lol:thinking:)
Not jealous because i'm folically challenged and whats left is going that way:'(

Ahh, this is the funniest thread I've read in a while! So many of my most hated ads have been brought up! I especially like the 'Short term Loan' (Typical APR 2500%)! But this is my favourite, I'm considering stripping the audio and putting it on my ipod:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-yEWZTBQ64

Can't beat a bit of electro/techno/rap advertising.

:D :lol:

I saw that one as well - and when it had finished my missus and two teenage daughters looked at me and asked me if I wanted some :gag:

Now I maybe a 40 something but I thought the 'silver fox' look was all the rage - or is it just wishful thinking on my part :shrug:

Adding my name to the DFS haters - I would rather sit on orange boxes !!
