So many to choose from, the one that makes my blood boil is that Michael Winner car insurance one with that stupid bimbo who, "Isn't his sister" and keeps holding up posters saying, "Hello mum". My spleen explodes every time I see it and new spleens don't come cheap these days! :confused:
I hate the ones that start at about 7:30 every evenin in the week & advertise "extreme mind numbing crap" they normally finish around 8:30 ish................ :D :D :D
wonder if that will upset a few peeps......... :D :
Mrs R. I have to agree that Michael Winner advert is almost enough to tip me over the edge too.......but after all these years I still haven't recovered from that god awful abomination of British advertising....................................... ........................ It's all you have to do, you do the shake and vac and put the freshness back - do the shake and vac and........bluuuuu barf....spew-huh-huh.
Why? Why would that woman ever do that?

I've heard that the lads who help our beloved illegal immigrants enter our beloved isle can get you a spleen really cheap. They do a two for the price of one offer on kidneys too!

I like Michael Winner and the way he pokes fun at himself. I also like the way a fat old git like him gets some cracking birds. Good lad!
Now I really , really hate that bloody Fanta advert - where the bride is at the alter on her own and there's some pr*ck dancing about and singing in an orange suit. What's that all about? and more importantly , who the hell came up with that crap?
and I hate those bloody Barclays adverts where they hire expensive hollywood actors such as Samuel L Jackson and Donald Sutherland - F8ck me! not exactly a way to promote that they are a bank worth investing your money with. Makes me cringe at how much it must have cost them !
All time stinker is... that motoring advert where the car runs over the kiddie and picks him up on the bonnet , in slow motion. Supposedly makes you want to slow down by the excess 5mph he was doing over the limit. Just makes me feel sick that someone would put that on tv so graphically!
On an upbeat note - the best ones ever have to be Virgin and their old series of Wycliff commercials - fuggin' hilarious

ff's, no self respecting Italian person would eat that Unilever ****e. They would spit on it and wave their arms about in extravagant gestures.
Anyone ever tasted it - it is filth!!!!! You need half a pound of cheese on top to get rid of the taste!:eek:

Ah yes , but you've just gotta love the ice cream advert where poor old Italian "momma" is surplus to requirements. Say's "Ciao" and walks down the road with her bags packed - not before she kicks over little Gianni's scooter!
hohohoho!

I have to agree with a lot of u peeps,i hate the Michael Winner ones the most! Isnt he just the most ugliest annoying bloke in the world?! Another thing is i dont really understand why he agreed to do those adds,isnt he supposed to be a film director with squilllions of quids in his bank account. His face reminds me of one of those old gezzer muppets from the muppet show,oh he makes me cringe,uuugh :eek: lol
aw gypsy there are some good car adverts.....the one where the cars play hide n seek and footie and the one that acts like a dog and the one like 'mousetrap'
only other ones I hate (gypsy knows this one) is the teaching one where the fella sits up in bed and leaves his head behind, also the other two headless adverts they've recently started to show
what is it with headless adverts?
very disturbing if you ask me
the teacher one still gives me a fright everytime I see it
and I'm the sort of person that can watch most horror films and find em funny duh
:cool:

The Worthers ad springs to mind, the one with the old git & kid wiv bad hair.
I used to love the TRIOadvert when I was a kid, I don't think they even exist now. They were yummy biscuit type things, like Breakaways (that was a catchy ad to), but in 3 break off bits. YUM!!

i used to hate the motorcycle adverts.
yamaha and honda mainly.
thankfully they don't show them anymore.
and a good job too.
encouraging people to become motorcyclists, i mean they drink thier own urine
and hump chickens, prior to biting thier heads off.
and the biker women, well everyone knows what thier like.

Cant remember the name of the comapny but the prick who says i fell cause they gave me the wrong ladder. For fcuks sake you bloody moron, you gormless ***** pity ya didnt break yer bloody neck for being such a turd.
Anyway, thats just one of the ad's that annoys me.
Oh the BUPA ad where the womens basically inferring that if she wasnt in BUPA she would have died of cancer. I find that disgusting and quite frankly should be banned. Must be great for the people who have cancer yet cant afford a pot to piss in. Oh great im gonna die cause i cant afford BUPA. Wankers, pissin wankin Bastard self righteous BUPA. :mad:

Oh dear, I used to be a ward sister at a Bupa hospital - very nice job it was too :) However, before UKRob declares a fatwa on me I am returning to the NHS after I've done my degree.
To be honest though you are more likely to die at a Bupa hospital post surgery as they don't have emergency facilities like intensive care and other specialists on hand, you have to be shipped out to a local NHS hospital and hope it's not too late by the time you get there AND most insurance policies don't cover the terminal phase of cancer as by then it's "chronic" so they'll quite happily take your premiums but if you're dying you're likely to spend your final days not in Bupa but an NHS ward 'cos you're not covered by the policy any more.
I think I can kiss goodbye to working for them again after this little tirade:eek:

I wouldnt say im anti BUPA as such, or the people that work for them im just anti the inferring that only they can cure terminal illness. I think all Doctors, Nurses so on so forth are bloody heroes, dont matter who they work for. Ah well, such is life :D

I can't stand the one where the window cleaner over-reaches (stupid prat!) and his ladder falls leaving him hanging from a window sill and then some stupid bint comes out and moves her car in case he falls on it! Oh, and any ad with Jamie Oliver prattling on about Sainsburys. :mad:

Rik hates that car ad too, it makes his blood boil, as the car has obviously been tampered with as if you watch the back wheels they keep going round if the back brakes were not disconected they would lock up. It is a blatent attempt to shock (and while thats not entirely a bad thing) its just a set up ad and not true, you'd think they could at least get it right they are conning folk on the stopping distance they quote as if the brakes were working correctly the car could probably of stopped in time.... on the ad I mean.
Not trying to justify speeding etc just like things to be correct.

i usually ignore adverts as most are utter crap and far from factual.
my misses hates adverts for anti wrinkle creams and cellulite.

Theres something in marketing terms called the 10% anomoly (cant remember if its 10% but thats what springs to mind, the logics accurate anyway), that is 10% of people when shown a advert to try and influence them to buy something either ignore it totally, or go out and NOT buy it on purpose because they find it offensive in some way. Helping a friend out with her marketing degree with a questionaire, she told me I was one of these 10% anomolies, because I wont buy something on the strength of a ad, but Ill NOT buy something if the ad annoys me in some way. So just grin and bear the bad adverts knowing that theyre pissing off the other ones in the 10% group too..
But getting back to the thread ...
I never ever ever ever ever ever buy stuff that Im mailed about unsoliticated either electronic or postal, or generally given hard sell over. If I want their stuff Ill go find it when it suits me. Period. Even if its something I really want, on principle I wont do business with them. So thats every piece of spam and junk mail that im annoyed about. Along with telesales and other such forms of mass annoyance.
As for tv, Im irritated by the direct line loan adverts (lets not even mention that stupid red phone in their earlier days cos they couldnt afford a proper advert) where he gets a loan to replace his vw camper and gets the girl blah blah, mostly because those who know, know a good vw bay camper in tidy road legal condition costs more than the ex rep mobile he manages to buy in its place with the loan (and id have the vw over it any day of the month cos its got character ). Tossers and poor research. And Im sorry, but anyone who "isnt getting in that" even if i turn up in a dayglow orange invalid carriage walks, and good riddance, I hate vehicle snobs. One more for the list of companies not to buy stuff from....
Im also annoyed by the norwich union ad's because people seemingly manage to get a quote on the basis of "its a hatchback". We all know you get less interrogation at an interview for top job at MI5 than if you ring a normal insurance company, so this is plainly b*llocks and we're not going to be taken in like sheep by this NU so treat us with a bit of intelligence. Ive worked out theyre trying to not highlight this but still find it a bit insulting that they expect this to work.
And finally, the advert for that personal injury firm of ambulance chasers where the fat old wrinkly owner boss bloke does the advert acting himself, you can tell nobody in the company had the balls to tell him to hire someone a bit more photogenic or use someone who looked a bit more trustworthy (after all on tv you only get superficial first impressions) and he just comes accross as full of sh*t and dodgy. Its his money to waste as he sees fit I suppose but its part of my life he's wasting with his crappy advert...
And im going to stand up for the barclays adverts, because some of them make me think even a tiny bit, even if they did cost a packet to get the actors. It beats the natwest ones where theyre crowing about reversing their branch closures, which theyre only having to do cos they closed so bloody many in the first place...
Lets hear it for the great device known as a pvr (tivo clone), which lets me skip all the advert breaks in live tv mode...
