That one for TESCO - the new PRICE DROP one with that man talking very fast!  MUTE BUTTON NOW PLEASE!  ARGH!

 

And the one for OREOS, just narks me off.  Why do you have to bastard well LICK IT?!  How gross.  

 

MATCH dot com: "Girl on the platform smiled, best smile I've seen for a while..."  ANNOYING!

 

The new one for BT internet (with the students...)  The annoying git who tries to just get the girl to stay with him, coz there isn't enough wireless connectivity for 3 people blah blah blah...  Is this one going to ramble on for 5 years like the last bunch, until the little dark haired lad (from the family in the older BT ad) 'gets it on' with the pretty lass, asks her to get wed and knocks her up.  BOOOOORING!

 

ANY ads that are advertising ANYTHING and it's a bloody foreign ad dubbed over!

 

All effing PPI insurance refund ads!  I am SICK of seeing them now!

 

ALL 'personal injury' claim ads.

 

That advert where the girl is showing going through all stages of life until old age, just plain annoying.  And there are/have been a few of them.


Webuyanycardotcom!


Constant constant constant ads begging for money.  On the non terrestrials, ie freeview/cable they are on on EVERY BREAK! Plus some ask for ÂĢ3 a month... It must cost more than that for the admin...  makes no sense to me.

 

I won't say anymore LOL.  Don't want to leave none for others to moan about LOL!


What about you guys?  (And gals.)

I could fill a book sparkles.  I hate them all but agree the PPI ones are just a pain because they are on every ad break.  The long haired git selling double glazing "buy one get one free" yelling his lungs out at me.  Why would you be mug enough to buy HIS windows.  And another is that ex Spice girl selling the Jenny Craig slimming thingy. arghhh!

Its got to the point that you settle down to watch an hour long programme and end up getting 40 minutes plus 20 minutes of ads.  When it goes back to the programme you think "what the hell was this about, where did we end up before the break".  It's turning me off the telly.

Holy HELL, Mel B on that ad makes me wanna scream!!!  So patronising and annoying.  Has she EVER been fat?  I mean actually FAT?!  She rang that Jenny Craig to help her lose weight, after she had had a BABY!  Everyone puts loads on then!


And re all the shitty long breaks, sometimes I record stuff on V+ (like Eureka or Glee or whatever) and then watch them later; it's an hour long on the telly, but 42 mins with no breaks!  Not everyone has V+ though, and has to put up with the breaks (some 7 or 8 minutes long!)

Hahaha  That really made me laugh.

 

I hate that Haribo advert with the little girl wearing those stupid big glasses, it's probably more about the glasses, because I am sick to death of seeing grown people wearing them pretend glasses thinking they look good/cool 

 

Also, who the hell is the voice of Colemans Bull 'cook you villain'?

 

I hate the 'Uniform dating' advert too, boils my pee.

 

I'm sure I can back to you with more that annoy me.

Sparkles, I just say 'I hate ads' saves a lot of time....less wear and tear on the fingers.

I bloody love that one!

 

Me too

 

And I love the one where the bloke kicks the football towards the window, and everyone in the garden tries to stop it, and the dog leaps up and heads it away. Hurrah (Can't remember what it's for though!)

 

But I just ignore the ones I don't like

I love that ad too. Now I know I'm gonna sound really and truly odd here but that is one of the songs that goes round and round in my head when i'm trying to go to sleep!

 

Ignore me ...............I'm a seriously odd bugger!

 

 

 

 

Edited to say 'the girl on the platform'

If you have Sky, I look for shit that I want to record and see if they are showing it on ANYTIME because they cut the ads out.

Nah Cinds, I'm on Virgin but whatever I record can be FF through the ads   Saying that, I think Virgin does anytime now

Sadly, I think this ad is indeed intended to run and run.

However, I don't think the plan is for the girl (Anna) to get it on with one of the blokes (though you never know...  )

My last BT bill actually included a fourteen page leaflet based around this campaign.  Even sadder: I actually read some of it!  Apparently, Anna's "back-story" is that she's already got a boyfriend who's travelling around the world, and they keep in touch by Skype: queue another advert for BT broadband!

One ad that's winding me up at the moment is the Confused-dot-com one that trumpets the fact that you'll get 1000 Nectar points if you buy your car insurance from them. Do you know how much 1000 Nectar points are worth? ÂĢ5 off your shopping at Sainsburys. That's it: an expensive and hard-to-avoid campaign advertizing an offer that amounts to just ÂĢ5 that you can only spend in certain shops!

 

The very worst ads have got to be the Haribo ones, though: if I had my way, the ad agency responsible would be on trial in The Hague. Definitely the work of the Devil...

Eugene's Lair

Lolling at the quality rage in this thread. I hate most adverts. Some I hate more than others

 

BT - How I wish the whole of that family would be wiped out in some awful calamity

 

As to the Oreo one - at least it is preferable to the unbelievable stupidity of their previous ad; The one that showed a kid tormenting a dog with the biscuit.

If a kid did that to a dog and the dog munched the kids face in frustration there would be tabloid outrage. But no one thinks to tell the ad makers not to encourage this reckless behaviour

also series link anything else you like to watch uninterrupted and then fast forward thru the adds. . or channel hop if you don't have a pause button..

I'm with you there Olly

 

Had a very pleasurable catch up of Kidnap and Ransom last night, with no ads at all

It's been available for ages, but everytime they make an ad for it the machine cuts it out

There's a Boom Tish moment if ever I saw one, Veggie

I think it might be the TiVo box which came out in 2000 for a couple of years but is now part of Virgin Media.

Yep - if I record anything the ads are cut out.

What annoys me most about that ad, at the moment, is that she sings CANfused.com instead of CONfused.com.
