Annoying TV ads!

[SurreyGuy]

1. Norwich Union(?) - the one with the ANNOYING "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrickadingding hiccup" soundtrack (with people sitting in their windows)!

2. EVERY Picture Loans ad - TERRIBLE acting!

3. Ford Transit - the one with the ANNOYING "I'd like a funny car, I'd like a square cut" soundtrack.

4. There IS another one, but I can't remember what it is! :o)

Friday rant over! :o)

For me, it has to be the Nationwide Builing Society adverts -each & every one of them!

Saying that, we do invest with them!

[smudge]

*Building even!

[johnlambert]

All of the above surrey also:
that mobile phone ad where the guy taps some girl on the arm through the glass window then he jumps on the side of a van and hitches a free lift. i dont know why that ad annoys me, it just does.
the Skoda ad where they make a car out of various edible ingredients, grrrrrrrand while I'm at it, the magicool ad, wtf is that camel all about?

[Joe Shmoe]

Shredded Wheat Bite Sized. With the woman who shakes her head from side to side while saying "They help me watch my weight".:-D

[johnlambert]

And that "they should have called it oatabix" advert, that bl00dy woman who says it needs to have a face transplant to take that smug s0dding look of her face






















rant over

[xhxmxsx]

halifax adverts!!!
hmmm im trying to think of what advery it is now, it's for a womans magazine where they're all singing in a terrible tune! real life i think it drives me crazy!!

[xhxmxsx]

advert even!

[delboy3]

Sensodyne toothpaste - do we really need a close-up of the woman's eyebrow?
Direct Line - comes on every bloody commercial break, and is highly irritating.

[hippyhoppy]

Sheila's Wheels does my head in as does that one when Tom gets into the car and his mum waffles on about changing her car insurance on line - Arrghhh. I have to must that one so I don't know what company it's for. I hate the picture loans too 'Josh, dad's found your scooter'. Rubbish! I could probably go on for hours but have to do boring old housework...

[hippyhoppy]

I meant MUTE

[johnlambert]

Dont forget the Safestyle ads
you know you buy one you get one free, I said you buy one you get one free

where is a decent sniper when you need one?

[rugeleyboy]

i HATE the advert for cadburys egg where the gilr and bloke say things like "eggsellent"!!!!


sheila's wheels............ my son is 5 and when that add goes on he goes red because he fancies the girl in the middle!!!............. always makes me laugh that one!!

[Harvey1973]

It has to be Carol Vonderman (by all accounts a smart lady who knows her numbers) trying to get you to declare yourself bankrupt and smooth out your debt over the next 195 years!!!! ;0)

[SurreyGuy]

hippyhoppy - good call on the "Tom and Mum in the car"!

I'm still trying to recall the "other" one that annoys me - it tends to be on when I can HEAR the TV, but not SEE it! Must dash into the room next time I hear it! :o)

[.foggy.]

I cant believe no ones mentioned

Barry Scott and Cilit Bang

It must have cost them at least a quid to put this advert together. Its painfull

[johnlambert]

rugeleyboy
my 4 year old boy fancies the middle one too ;-)

[Maggoty]

Agree - Barry Scott, .....I SAID BARRY SCOTT!!!!

[rugeleyboy]

johnlambert................. i sing it to him when he is being naughty and screams at me to shut up!!

[Jules001]

Elephant.co.uk, Hastings Direct.com, confused.com any of these rate highly on my list but not as high as the Picture Loans, they get muted or the tv turned over. The Cillit Bang ones get on my nerves too. I can't stand the ones I think it's for Ocean Finance where it is obvious they are all reading their scripts from cue cards and not even looking at the camera!

However on a positive side, there are some ads that really make me smile and I quite like unfortunately they don't stay in the mind for so long so I can't remember any now.

[SurreyGuy]

I agree with everyone so far! :o)
