    Ooh I'll look out for you Shibboleth. Just remembered I don't watch ITV.

    I love the new trailer for the BBC – 2010 Olympic winter games, classy.

    that f*cking meerkat one. Simple…squeak does not advertising brilliance make.

    and

    anything which tries to convince birds that they should have a nice yoghurt, rather than going for a crap.

    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.

    thats a great idea. lets see if it works…

    what about envirofone? Want cash for your old mobile? Just pop it in the post and we'll send you up to £150.

    Yeah if I go buy an iPhone for £300, stick it straight in an envelope and post it, you might give me £150. Otherwise we're talking enough for a pint at best, right?

    depends how much a pint costs down your local. I get fairly bogstandard Nokias and they usually send me in the region of £50 back each time.

    Any advert that's clearly been filmed abroad and then re-dubbed with English language or accents. The one for Halls cold sweets (on an aeroplane) is particularly annoying.

    I got 40 quid for a really knackered Nokia that a tennant left behind down the back of the sofa… What on earth do they do with them???

    But the really really really hot brunette in that advert more than makes up for the annoying extra…

    I'll never know. You know when someone says don't look into the light but you do, well that's what that extra is like…. a bright beaming turd.

    I mean the one with the speaking part that asks the teacher if he's cheating… Mmmmm.

    The kids have picked up my disdain for adverts and refer to Activia yoghurt as "the yoghurt that gives you the craps".

    I hate Tena Lady adverts too. "Yippeee!!! I piss myself, but it's ok cos I have Tena Lady!!!"

    cripes, i take it all back.

    What on earth do they do with them???

    Send them to Sudan to be burned in the desert and claim £100 from the government in WEEE credits. Maybe.

    Much like that ad with the "ladies who lunch" discussing their bowel movements…

    No win no fee ads are shocking…

    I was given the wrong sort of ladder

    No, you used the wrong sort of ladder. It's your fault you moronic fcktard.

    Natwest – totally agree. It's like they're pretending they have nowt to do with RBS and are your friendly bank.

    And the one advertising the Ocean Finance TV channel. WTF people walking round with ? marks on their head.

    most products of any kind have made up names. At least boswelox has some degree of sense behind it (derived from Boswellia serrata )

    KFC – wiv tha yoof who used to be interested in eating food but now interested in preparing it. Voice over – "chicken delivered fresh everyday" print at bottom of ad – "Minimum Delivery 3 per week" Sorry which area of the country do they only have three day weeks?

    Women's make up/eyelashes etc. Pay attention to the small print again and you'll usually see "images produced with aid of extensions and post production".

    HTF are they allowed to get away with it?

    Probably cos I'm ranting on here instead of writing to advertising standards.

    you've answered your own question. It's the small print on the ads which allows them to get away with it. The KFC one originally didn't have that text on it – it was introduced after complaints.

    Ouch! Definitely need an updated version of TTBCIA, Brooker is a blessed antidote to the torrent of dross.

    Not even sure what it's advertising, either way it makes me want to chew my own arms off.

    Gocompare is the most annoying series of adverts I've seen in ages, I have to race to turn over before the fat ass starts singing. I wouldn't touch their web-site with a barge-pole in protest, get that s**t off my TV :p

    Other than that "we buy your gold for half its value" ads and "we loan chavs money at high interest rates" ads are annoying.

    Yeah but on the other hand, you have the specsavers ones which are improving every since that crofter sheared his dog… I paused whilst fast forwarding through adverts the other day to check out that new crop circles one. And there's also a new Barclays instant pay one with a rollercoaster this time instead of a waterslide 🙂

    I can't get over the fact that it isn't meant to be ironic when the kid goes on about "this is what it's all about" and "sure it takes more effort, but it's worth it" as he bashes two 'chicken' legs together in flour then puts a cherry tomoato on top of a piece of lettuce…

    Effort? Sweet mother of ****

    Buy a brand new car for £150 or something daft, ok it was a Fiat but at least make it slightly believable.

    And that Don Beech ****t off The Bill…How do we get people to trust us? Yeah let's get that bloke that eveyone can only remember for playing a bent copper….That'll do it.
