1) The aspirational beacons that are the Redknapps and their interminable glottal stops. I' would'n' ma'er so much if "I'" wasn'' the 'ole of the fu''ing adver'.
2) Dear Halifax: Bring back Howard or I start bombing your ATMs.
3) Gloria: Squiggly purple bits animated around squiggly green bits does not impart much information about how plant sterols actually "work". I'm now 4.9! You are just annoying.

That McDonald's one where the voice-over claims that the £ is also known as a bob
??? WTF?
a 'bob' was, is a shilling,12d or [if you must] 5p
Kids in charge of ad companies eh?

You watch too much TV: I've never seen 1 & 3. And f%^&ing Howard was the most irritating thing on TV ever.

1/we buy any **** car.com
2/all of them with the new craze of putting firework noises in them.
3/Anything from Natwest where they go to your house to help you bank better - you mean sales staff selling bad investments and loans to pay off loans.Rant over.

Jr was taking over my computer for Thomas the Tank Engine and Bob the Builder DVDs so it seemed my stoic rejection of modern TV was doomed to fail.
I do now get to watch old Poirots, Sherlock Holmes and CSI NYs though so not all bad. The adverts on Five USA and ITV3 are an eye-gouging price to pay though

4) That ugly bint off Eastenders selling yoghurt. TLC = "talentless lost cause"
Posted 2 years ago # -
actually not rant over
4/ the hallmark one which is a blatant iphone/apple rip off
5/ Car spotter text advertsThat feels better.
Posted 2 years ago # -
gocompare surely. FFS, blatant annoying response to the less annoying and catchier 'Seemples'.
actually, haven't seen a decent, clever, witty advert in aaaaaaaaages.
EDIT: MOON****ingPIG!

/Anything from Natwest where they go to your house to help you bank better
"That would look like savings bonds. It would look like..."
Christ! What a pillock. Has anyone actually started banking with NatWest because of those ads??

I'm sure I overheard one the other day waffling about skin having "rights". WTF is that all about?
Oh, and I don't care what people say, the Meerkat rocks.

I giggle the other night at the "cushion yourself" advert by ING with the well-off gent and the gold-digging mutton
Posted 2 years ago # -
CFH - that one is getting my blood pressure up too. Apparently 87% of women thought the showergel made their skin feel healthier.
This perhaps says something disappointing about the general IQ of the fairer sex, but Ill be generous and just think its says something about the advertiser.

also, sky sports car garage one, 'they don't know about cars, but they know about football'
no, they know how to make reactionary and often hypocritical and biased clichés.

cant be arsed with Sky+.
Long live the BBC iPlayer though - no adverts AND no Come Spunking on Ice.
Posted 2 years ago # -
The 'we buy your gold for cash' ones - financial planning for the terminally stupid
DFS adverts - all of them, all bloody year to match the sales they have all bloody year
Adverts for bed companies where they'd have you believe you are in someones bedroom and they are laid down on their bare matress - really? who the f£$% lives like that?
Air freshner adverts - all of them, particularly those stupid plugin things
Morrisons adverts - they just grate
Any advert with Michael Winner in it
Captain Birdseye ones - something slightly peado about them
Perfume / aftershave adverts as these are all just b*****ks
Posted 2 years ago # -
you lot are lucky! mrs 83 flicks over to america's next top waste of space every ad break
Posted 2 years ago # -
What you need is a digital recorder, BT Vision do a neat one for £30.
Programme all the shows you like, watch them whenever, zap the ads. That Series Record button changed my life.
And the one I hate the most ever is Sheilas Wheels. Being an Aussie Strumpet is not something to sing about.

Anyone else seeing this thread come up with no name and no link in the forum?
Edit: Odd. Appears ok in IE8 but not chrome.

While I hate it, the 'webuyanycar' bit of the advert doesn't annoy me that much.
It's the 'dotcom' afterthought that **** me over.

Is it only certain ones that do this? Mine doesn't, but it's quite an old Humax jobby.

Mute ads and do pressups while they are on - used to work for me - till I got lazy and now I just mute all ads.

sorry, I meant Freesat
Freeview won't be getting it anytime soonPosted 2 years ago # -
In no particular order -
Yellow Pages with that annoying tune.
Moonpig
Halifax - stop spending money on poxy ad's and pay me back you b4st*rds!!
Go Compare
And any for gold - simple put it in the envelope it'll be insured for up to £500, yeah right!! And how the hell are you going to get a refund if you fund a better price within 28 days? They'd have smelted it down as soon as it hits the floor.

I foolishly agreed to appear in a TV advert for a holiday company. It's currently being shown 6 times a day on ITV. Every time it's screened, I get a text/email/phonecall asking if it's me or taking the p*ss. Or a text from my Mum saying "Hi luv, it's your mum. I've just cn u on telly."
Don't know what's worse, the fact that she feels the need to introduce herself in text messages, or the fact that a 65 year old is learning text speak!
So, at the moment, that one particular advert is annoying the hell out of me.
Posted 2 years ago # -
I hate the advert with iggy pop and that **** ugly puppet scares the crap out of me and makes me want to never EVER buy insurance from them!
I also despise the standard formula adverts of a catchy song, "We buy any car", "Go compare etc".
I do quite like the Tesco Mobile advert mind!

Go on then Shibboleth, what's the advert?
Posted 2 years ago # -
annoying as they are, the we buy any car, and go compare ads do stick in your head. If i was selling a car for cash, or looking for insurance right now they'd be the first sites i would try despite me hating the ads, so i guess from an advertisers point of view they have worked.

"Go on then Shibboleth, what's the advert?"
You'd only see it if you're in the Granada region, let's just say it's for a coastal holiday destination.
I'm seen running along a beach, in great pain because I'd dislocated my shoulder and separated my AC joint the night before in Gisburn Forest!
The director wanted me to spin a little girl round by her arms! No chance of that, so my on-screen wife had to do that bit. Good fun though, and great to see how much work goes into such a short piece.
