OT - Your most irritating TV advert of all time

Topics

El Loro

I find the soundtrack for the new advert for the Ford Fiesta Zetec the most irrirtating soundtrack I have ever heard to the point that I have to press the mute button or leave the room when this is on. I accept that some may like it, but I can't be alone in hating it, and it's hardly going to make me want to buy the car which defeats the purpose of the advert.

So do you have any adverts you hate ? (Aplogies if there was a similar thread some weeks ago, but I can't find it now)

I think my most irritating was the old Pearl du lait (sp) youghurt ad with that stoopid woman who grimaced her face....why eat the bloody stuff then!!!!!

There are many others but that one grates on my last nerve...

I find the "Spot Vs Stripes" one on the C4 website which precedes some video clips really annoying because it is so loud.

Not annoying - actually quite sweet. A little bit of nostalgia I found whilst browsing You Tube

I loathe this advert because of the absolutely terrible singing voice.
With a vibrato like you ma-a-a-a-a-y ha-a-a-a-ve ne-e-e-e-ve-e-e-er hea-ea-ea-ea-rd befo-o-o-o-o-o-o-re. Terrible.

I also hate any advert which uses infants who speak in a more baby-like voice than
any infant I know has ever used.

The Halifax ones - I never believed they could find a more irritating successor to Howard and his singing' dancin' colleagues, but the 'radio' lot have done it.

Any lerkal one. At the moment it's one for a Tees Valley solicitor. Since they got rid of Vic and Bob I have developed zero tolerance for Churchill.

(I like the meercat ones-as long as they turn 'em over quick)

Surely no one in the world can't be fail to irritated by that Halifax B.S. advert set in a cheesy commercial radio station? Is the pitch of his advert to set it in a radio station staffed by corporate suits that no one would ever want to tune into it? And the other two in the series with the Lightning Seeds and Stereo MCs' - especially the one where that pathetic idiot pretends to steal his mate's car key, Drives me mad!

Channel Four advertising Plan B's "The Defamation of Strickland Banks". Don't dislike the music as such, but the advert's on all the time. All the profits for that album must have gone on advertising.
