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.
so you've bought a TV then Stoner?
🙂
Stoner, you need to get out a little more!
1/we buy any ****ing 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.
so you've bought a TV then Stoner?
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"
actually not rant over
4/ the hallmark one which is a blatant iphone/apple rip off
5/ Car spotter text adverts
That feels better.
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!
[i]/Anything from Natwest where they go to your house to help you bank better [/i]
"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 😉
CFH - that one is getting my blood pressure up too. Apparently 87% of women thought the showergel made their skin feel [i]healthier[/i].
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.
I think I'm gonna need....MORE TIES!
why? you gotta go loads more interviews you grey heaired ****?!
get sky+ or similar
record all the shows you want to watch
begin viewing at least 15 mins after actual start time
never watch an ad again thanks to the ability fo FF through them all
One of my all-time faves:
😆
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.
+1 what jimmy saids
cant be arsed with Sky+.
Long live the BBC iPlayer though - no adverts [i]AND[/i] no Come Spunking on Ice.
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
you lot are lucky! mrs 83 flicks over to america's next top waste of space every ad break
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 ****s me over.
We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com. We buy any car dot com.
AARGH - GET OUT OF MY HEAD NOW
cant be arsed with Sky+.
Just get a freeview+ box. No extortionate subscription fees to pay that way.
Humax do decent ones.

sounds promising. WIll investigate.

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 soon
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.
I hate the advert with iggy pop and that ****ing ugly puppet scares the crap out of me and makes me want to never [u]EVER[/u] 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!
mike_check - MemberI think I'm gonna need....MORE TIES!
why? you gotta go loads more interviews you grey heaired ****?!
s****.
Nice use of the word Strumpet Hels,, A word we don't hear often enough
Go on then Shibboleth, what's the advert?
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.
what's the ad shibboleth?
who are ya?
who are ya?
who are ya?
"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.
Freeview won't be getting it anytime soon
Bugger. Oh well I'll just keep using the Wii iPlayer channel instead 🙂
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.
Go and Compare
that f*cking meerkat one. [i]Simple...squeak[/i] 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.
That reminds me that one for the 'stool softener'.
Utter utter poop
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?
[i]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? [/i]
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???
Go compare.
Why and what is he cheating when he exposes his socks? I don't get that.
Plus there is a very annoying extra in that ad...look at me da de daaa look at me da da daaa look at me look at me look at me da de daaaa
Plus there is a very annoying extra in that ad...look at me da de daaa look at me da da daaa look at me look at me look at me da de daaaa
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!!!"
I get fairly bogstandard Nokias and they usually send me in the region of £50 back each time.
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.
I hate Tena Lady adverts too. "Yippeee!!! I piss myself, but it's ok cos I have Tena Lady!!!"
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 [i]used[/i] the wrong sort of ladder. It's your fault you moronic ****tard.
Plus there is a very annoying extra in that ad...look at me da de daaa look at me da da daaa look at me look at me look at me da de daaaa
the blonde in the brown dress?
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.
You guys watch far too much TV....
when the Go Phucking Compare ad comes on my kids looked worried at the bile and hatred their otherwise calm and placid father exudes
Still good:
We could do with an updated version.
Anything with active liposomes in it.
Beauty products with made up names, boswellox anyone?
WTF the is the new Astra Ad about.....? I hate ad's that don't bare any relation to what they are actually for. So that's all perfume ad's then.
Cant beleive it has taken this long before someone has mentioned Go Compare, Can't watch them.
[i]Cant beleive it has taken this long before someone has mentioned Go Compare, Can't watch them. [/i]
have you actually read the thread? 😉
[i]Beauty products with made up names, boswellox anyone? [/i]
most products of any kind have made up names. At least boswelox has some degree of sense behind it (derived from [i]Boswellia serrata [/i])
poster adverts of callmedave.
Bendaroos - for those of you with kids that watch cartoon channel or boomerang - voice over annoys the hell out of me.
"what's the first thing you notice about me...."
.
.
Hmm, I dunno, the heady aroma of ammonia and stale urine? Arrrgh!!! Tena Lady's just been on again!!!
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.
[i]HTF are they allowed to get away with it?[/i]
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.
[i]Who says you can't lose weight *and* enjoy yourself?
Bobby Sands?[/i]
Ouch! Definitely need an updated version of TTBCIA, Brooker is a blessed antidote to the torrent of dross.
(from R979's link)
[b]I want to do a poo at Paul's house...[/b]
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.
Whilst watching Sky News with Eamonn Holmes, they show an add advertising the same program WTF! Pointless I'm already watching DOH!
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 [i][b]isn't[/b][/i] 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 ****
MAAAADBID .com
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.
