What are the most annoying ads on TV?!... - Page 6

DéiseGirl · 04-11-2004, 12:51

Oh thank God I'm not alone in hating a variety of sh1t ads.

That Lisa Simpson ad is woeful. Bank of Ireland ad makes me want to murder someone, as do those 57777 ads (esp. the little blip at the end). Halifax ads with "Howard" the bank manager...argh! All nappy, wet wipes, bog roll ads. The talking armchair from the One Direct ads...

Oh no, there's loads more but I can't think of them...I'll be back

I do love the Lyons Tea bird ads though "I been away for a bit"
"Dress? I couldn't fit in the changing room. Cow!"

That Sprite Zero ad makes no sense at all. It seems to tell guys that if you buy Sprite Zero for a girl she'll take her top off for you...

And why isn't she wearing a bra underneath?? Her boobs would bounce all over the place while she was jogging otherwise.

those tampax compact ads, especially the one with the really scary moth

Bounty ads with the blokes dressed as old women

There's a woman who lives up the road from me who looks EXACTLY like the blonde one, even down to the clothes. Scary.

The singing coca cola woman drives me bonkers - me reaches for the mute button pronto

The recycling ads are diabolical - the guy is Diarmuid Gavin the 'celebrity'
gardener and the woman is a comedienne, allegedly, from the Hole in the Wall Gang, responsible for inflicting series after series of BBC1 Northern Ireland's "Give my Head Peace" on an undeserving public

Those ads for the Halifax building society. Enough said.

The ad where the kid is texting another kid and he gets run over...dreadful song on that ad..."I want to walk you home" or something awful like that...

Wherever possible, I video stuff on commercial channels and zip through the ads. I'm sick of watching a two-hour show on UTV and seeing the same ads in EVERY ad break. Do they really want us to turn off?

spotted those damn TV licence ads again

and who could forget "CILLIT BANG" just look at this penny, good as new!

That ad for Nutrigrain Chewy; "the pureness of honey" - maybe I'm a bit f*cking stupid but shouldn't that be "the purity of honey".

Maybe the ad copy was written by someone whose first language isn't English? Nothing wrong with that but surely spelling & grammer* checks are part of the process?

EDIT: * grammar - woops

(well I'm not the one getting paid 80k a year)

I'd say she regrets that ad so much by now.

It's an ad for 'CRAZY SOUNDS' and it features the CRAZY Frog, some mission impossible thing (this Phone will self destuct....) and South Park (oh my God they killed kenny) They might as well put 'Wassup' in there too!!!

I hate all the uncle ben's bloody ads, the one with the lazy ass cooking dinner for his wife, the one where the group copy the dance the guy cooking the dinner does, that indian one....aaaagh!

the one that get's my goat at the moment is the Bailey's 'fluid movement' one, where everyone bumps into each other and moves like the baileys in the glass...then it's a guy that's drinking it at the end....unless he's got a double brandy in it, I don't know any men that drinks baileys in a pub/bar!

DéiseGirl · 08-11-2004, 14:06

The Surf's Law ads - ie the ones with the sock trying to escape the basket and then there's one left behind that does a Muttley laugh, and the bird crapping on the washing line. Always seems to be on around dinner time..and the music is really sinister as well. Or maybe it's just me...

Ruu · 08-11-2004, 17:18

Shooting the people on the uncle bens ads is too good for them, they need to be tortured! I hate them so much too.

That mobile one with some guy on it Argggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!,
57777 YIPPEE!

Whoever made that sock one was seriously taking the piss, or has some serious hidden issues.

I mean, if they were any more phallic, they'd be dripping white fluid.
