THANK YOU!!!
It is the worst advert I've ever seen!
However, I do love the Vimto advert...'Dad's pants in the middle of his roll...' ;D
and a lot of people find that annoying too! Ooops ;D

I saw the Frosties advert the other day *shudder* wasn't too keen on it!

The one that's really annoying me at the moment is the Carcraft advert with the singing in it. it may only be showing in the North west though. "the best choice in used automobiles blah blah blah carcraft. It's on local radio too, you think it's a song then it launches into the full advert grr!

It is annoying, but it got you talking about it, so their campaign worked! ;)

Hmmmmm *[smiley=thinking.gif] I guess that's true - I suppose that ad appeals to the mindset of some - it's just a bit too negative for me.

That's true actually Jan. I suppose they try and make them as annoying as possible so they stick in people's minds.

Then again, it puts me off buying the stuff they're selling sometimes. I just look at the product and cringe cuz of the ads! ;D

Oh I hate that Frosties advert! My friend is obsessed with it and keeps singing the song in my ear! Especially hate the bit where the boy is swinging on the treebranch and when he magically flies up into the air at the end...

HATE IT!!

yeah it puts me off too - i look at the box and just think of the ad and walk past to the crunchy nut cornflakes instead!!!


Know what you mean about Carol Vorderman - she seems to be advertising everything these days!! Oh and Diamond car insurance does my head in too!

I like the iron bru 32 advert with the big blue cukkoo in it - thats fab!!

I can't say I remember the frosties advert.... I will keep my eyes open for it. I have to agree with you about the carol vorderman ads they are incredibly annoying. The adverts that I really can't stand are the Jamster ringtone ads, they really drive me mad especially the crazy frog ones... they really really annoy the hell out of me. >:( ;)

The Frosties one is awful, but the one that I just cannot watch is the Sheila's Wheels car insurance one. It drives me insane, once you have heard the song it is stuck in your head all day!!

i really hate the debt buster loan advert (well all loan adverts in gereral but especially this one!) where the man and woman are sat at the table having a blatantly fake conversation! *and the Picture loan advert with the woman videoing the annoying man talking to 'mike', i love it when he says 'how much do we wanna borrow? £25,000?' if i needed to get a loan that big i'd at least know how much i needed before ringing!!!

LOL! ;D
Yeah all those loan adverts are really annoying.

All those flippin' compensation adverts do my head in too. Especially that one where the woman is conducting an interrogation style interview with the head of the company...
"Will I receive 100% of the compensation?!"

Or those people telling their 'real life' stories which have blatantly been scripted...
*mocking* 'I chipped my nail polish at work, so I called the compensation team and they were really helpul. I recieved £3million pounds in compensation!'

Shutup!!! ;D

lol, i know!!! they must think we are all morons! theres loads i really dislike and its true that it puts me off whatever it is, i find the dubbed ones funny too - where the words dont match the mouth movements like that Campino sweet thingy!

Just think in another few months there will hopefully be the TT advert for the album!

Adverts that bug me....where do I begin.

Firstly adverts aimed at children like cereal and McDonalds so cleverly placed in between childrens TV shows so the children want.

Secondly adverts in the day time that are all about 'need a car can't get credit' or 'remortage your home and be paying off well into your pension' or 'get a huge loan and save soooo much money you will be free to go on that holiday you always promised yourself' (like i would pay back a loan over years for a 2 week holiday no way). They assume that if you watch day time TV you are in debt or need money and it drives me MAD!!!

Phew got that off my chest now I feel so much better!

One advert that really is silly, is the home insurance with the two identical twin brothers who live next door to each other. The DAZ cleaner close adverts they are really annoying. But I do love the bounty fat rolls adverts with Brenda & Audrey, I think they are quite entertaining ;D
