Annoying adverts!!!!!!

[miffy]

i know this is a "fun" thread , but didn't know where else to put it!! What ads drive you NUTS??????

I hate that Adios girl dancing down the street in her pink knickers!! AS IF !!! Even with that figure!!:D

But the one that is REALLY getting to me at the moment is the one where the young lad tries to spin a pizza in the air like the pizza chefs--& when he fails to catch it & it lands on his lap & then on the floor, his mum says " Now HOW are we going to get those greasy stains out??" :rolleyes:

Why the hell isn't she saying "" What are we gonna have for our bloody tea NOW????????" As EVERY other mother in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD would say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rofl:

xxjan

[Jeni]

lol in my case id be saying 'thats your tea btw, clean it up, and no, youre not sharing my pizza!'

[Gel403]

I hate the ad where the young boy says he's going to 'Paul's for a poo', i mean you wouldn't even entertain it would you, if he was my son, he would be dragged to his own loo :shocked:

[miffy]

Lmao, Gel--it's the way he says "poooooooooo"!!!:vaderluke:

haha, i'd forgotten THAT one!!!

& yes, Jeni, i think that's what ALL mum's would say----not smile sweetly & wonder "Now how am i going to get those greasy stains out!" :confuse:

And those--"Now you're going to have find OTHER ways to be naughty!" Maltesers ads are beginning to grate!

& THANK GOD someone has shot those 2 little kids with the dancing eyebrows!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrr HATED that with a passion the 1st time i saw it---& it only got worse with each subsequent viewing!!!!:banghead:

I think i'd better go & start a " Grumpy old Women " thread!!!!!!!!! :rofl:

xxjan

[munchycarrot]

HAHA what a funny thread :rofl:


118 twent four sevvvvvvvvvvvvvven, do you need to remove a ta-toooooooo, or go to pe-ruuuuuuuuu :headbanger:

[Pipeman]

There was once an ad on local radio here for a cosmetic dentist. It went something like this:

She says, "It made it all worthwhile when my husband said, "your teeth do look nice tonight""

[miffy]

Oh, and the laser eye treatment-----


" Why didn't someone tell me befooooooooore????":rofl:

Oh dear, you don't suppose i'm spending too much time watching the telly, do you????:o

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

i nearly spat my coffee out then Ron !

[munchycarrot]

the loans one where the woman is videoing her husband on the phone, he says "how much did we want again" like they didn't discuss this before hand, or the boy in the background looking for his skateboard. He says "they are so friendly & brilliant" as if they'd be anything else when they are gonna string you up for the rest of your life with a huuuuuggggeee debt.

[Pipeman]

:rofl:

Yes - the whole of Wakefield fell about laughing -it didn't last long!:D:D

[miffy]

OMG !!!! I forgot the radio ads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are even worse aren't they, cos when they get a new one, they seem to want to show it off, don't they??????


EVERY FIVE BLOODY MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:headbanger::banghead:

xxjan

[Ange]

I hate all the ads mentioned above...

The lad with the pizza I'd be saying 'Now clean it up, cook it, or starve!'

The lad who needs a poo I'd be saying, 'Get to the toilet you little sod, or sh*t yourself and clean it up, - Your choice!'

The meerkat gets on my nerves too, dunno why.

Just bare mattresses---& they're all getting ready to go out --- or sitting reading---- NOT ONE OF THEM EVER LOOKS BEDRAGGLED & SWEATY COS THEY'VE JUST BEEN FIGHTING TO GET A KING SIZE DUVET OUT OF A 2 ft SLIT IN THE COVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :confuse: And if they haven't---then why have they got no covers on the bed????????????????????:D

How many women actually want to go skiing or do water sports when they are Riding the cotton pony?

No... I don't think I know any either

[Hicarrumba]

He says "they are so friendly & brilliant" as if they'd be anything else when they are gonna string you up for the rest of your life with a huuuuuggggeee debt.

Yeah they are obviously deep in the poo and they are all laughing as though its the best way out in the world and the 6000 easy payments or your house car and life are a doddle

[Beeje25]

[kooky]

great thread, trying to remember one that annoys me with a girl telling her dad off about sweets or something, ill go away an think:rofl:

[Gel403]

It's the haribos ad i think you mean Kim

Does anyone remember the Clarke's shoe ad where the snooty girl at the end of the ad used to say "and my mummy says i'm gonna be a proper little madam" ? Hated that ad with a passion, that little girl needed shooting, i know a bit drastic but she was sooo smarmy

[miffy]

No Gel, it's not harsh at all, you'd be doing the world a big service, but can i ask you a favour???????

Would you have 2 spare bullets for the "eyebrow" kids??????????????? :rofl:

& one for the girl in the pink knickers????????????:rofl:

& 2 for the malteser ladies (oh & 1 for their neighbour, i just don't like the look of him!!:rofl:)

But could you please be gentle with Ange's meerkat--he might be irritating, but he's cute!!!!;)

xxjan

[benjiblanco]

All these annoying ads....... and no one has mentioned Howard???

[Pipeman]

[munchycarrot]

[Pipeman]

who's howard? what am i missing?

You know! - Howard! Howard from Halifax!:D

[munchycarrot]

ahh the guy from those ads. OMG, i have a personal dislike for that guy. I was thinking of the fat bloke from the nationwide ads "we need the money for the bubbly at the shareholders meeting" NOT him? LOL

[miffy]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--the man who wanted the bubbly played "Howard"--a character in Christmas Lights--the brother of the character played by Robson Green!!!!!!!:rofl:

THIS Howard is the ex bank worker who sings silly songs in a silly voice in silly places all over the world to tell us to give our money to Halifax!!!:rofl:

And YES--he's up there on the "annoying" list!!!

Have you got your Howards sorted out now, Stef?????????????:confuse:

[miffy]

Has anyone seen that one for some car or other, where the little boy asks his Dad, "Where do i come from?"

The camera pans back a little & the Dad goes into a very detailed (unheard) explanation (supposedly about how babys are made & swimming sperm etc),that features some VERY GRAPHIC sign language!!!! And 1 of these hand motions definitely has nothing to do with where babies come from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:shocked: On the contrary--he wouldn't make a baby doing THAT!!!!!!:rofl:

I remember my jaw dropping open the 1st time i saw it, wondering how the hell they got away with THAT hand gesture in an advert that was shown at teatime!!!!!!!!
Anyone else seen it???

xxjan

[Jeni]

yes, i know that one, and i quite like the advert too :). has nothing to do with the car or anything lol. the best bit is the line at the end though.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWVmvgd3KeE

[miffy]

Yes it is funny--- "Billy ?? only comes from Scotland!!!!!!!:rofl: --but had you spotted that particular gesture?

xxjan

[Jeni]

yes, i had lol. i thought it great how they managed to fit them in too, without it being too 'in your face' type of thing.

[miffy]

On a positive note---- I LOVE the mafia panda & his BISKWITS !!!!!!!!:):)

xxjan

[badbadman]

Babies get placed in gooseberry bushes by Storks don't they? :confused:

[Ange]

Someone mentioned the Nationwide ads earlier. - Now I know he's only acting......But I could really smack that guy in the gob and tell him where to stick his account!

Another one that gets on my nerves, well, they all do, but especially the 118 ad set to the 'Ghostbusters' theme. Aaaaaaarrrgh :shocked:

[benjiblanco]

lol Ange, I agree, 118 is very annoying.

If we made this thread 'ads that weren't annoying', i wonder how many posts there would be.

[Jones]

How about, "Calm down dear, it's only an advertisement"?

[Ange]

How about, "Calm down dear, it's only an advertisement"?

Yeh, I could smack that bloke too. - Come to think of it, there's quite a few people on TV I could smack! :D

[miffy]

Ok Ange--You've passed the audition--you are now a fully fledged member of the "Grumpy Old Women" thread!!!!!:rofl::rofl: I think we need to get it up & running soon, don't you??? The world is full of so many wonderful things to moan about, it would be an absolute sin to confine it just to adverts, wouldn't it??????????:D:rofl:

Another ad driving me mad--that couple eating cereal & he doesn't want to share it with his kids!!

"but they're our children!"

" Are we sure about that, Margaret?? Are we REALLY sure about that???????"

gggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr--want to smash his stupid face in!! :D

[badbadman]

The Mr.Muscle ad, the cartoon one with that stupid squeaky voiced kid calling out his name...tosser. :mad:

[Gel403]

:rofl: Stewart

[Pipeman]

The 118 118 ad with those twerps jogging on the spot.

[badbadman]

The Garnier hair colour ad with dopey Davina McCall (that woman gets on my Moobs).

She has got hair extensions in for christs sake, not even her own hair.

It is so false and for me shouldn't be allowed.

Same with the masscara ads false lashes are used or they have been enhanced on computer. :headbanger:

[munchycarrot]

Davina Mcall was on that "who do you think you are" prog last week saying how her Mother was a mad french clubbing alcoholic & never looked after her & that she grew up with her Grandparents. Her Mother died and they had never made up. On the ad she calls the off camera voice "Mum'. That's a bog boob for Garnier

[badbadman]

Most ads for womens products have been 'enhanced' to make them sound and look better than they are.

There's one for one of those anti wrinkle creams that puts a soft focus glow on the woman to make her look radiant...makes her look ill to me. :D

Oh you mean the ones that they use a model in her 20's to show how young she looks or the one that's got the botox filled older lady in with a pro makeup job, that can afford the £90 for the collagen balls that plump up the face.. if you wanna plump it up eat some pies... cheaper and probably more fulfilling

[Marvin]

AND that woman who goes to the loo and then moans to her friends that she's constipated. All in a hushed voice 'cos she don't want millions of TV viewers to hear!! :rofl:

I know the one you mean, she sits on a stool moaning about her stools. :D

[badbadman]

Confused.com, the new ones, as annoying as the old ones.

Natwest ads where they go round different branches and show how helpful they are...money grabbing b'stards.

The phone ad where they are singing Bonnie Tylers song 'A Total Eclipse Of The Heart'...that lad at the front is an embarrassment to manhood. :headbanger:

That'll do for now. :D

[munchycarrot]

oh stewart, i can't bear the blonde woman on the same ad, she gets the words wrong, it's soooooo cringy

[JamesStan]

missed all this thread, looked like fun,

for me it has to be panasonic

"its just like a dslr"..........NO ITS BLOODY NOT!!!!!!!!!!!

[cindy]

For me I find the match.com ads are really bizarre. They have two of the wierdest characters that appear short of a penny and which are supposed to advertise a dating website??? i dont get it!) HATE poo advert and the little stuck up kid, hate the 118 118 duo.

LOVE the baby pampers advert which shows laughing, happy babies.Its the last baby that has such a distinctive face you can just imagine that he wouldn't look any different as an adult, and a laugh that cracks me up every time I hear it.

That's precisely the point they're not good looking - I was dragged along to a singles night once :shocked: and spent the whole night getting p****d off when anyone wanted to join our table. I think I missed the point.
Ps all the other tables were full lol

[badbadman]

Another one that gets right up my hooter is the one with Iggy Pop jumping about like a epilectic puppet ranting about insurance. :headbanger:
