Worst TV Advert?
 
So, what TV advert really annoys you! I have a few

Homebase Ads for one reason only - bloomin work :bored:

Injury Lawers 4 u << That Advert :mad:

Any DFS Ad or any ad with Linda Barker in :mad:

Anyone got any others???

LEE 02-04-2004 09:56 PM

The NHS one where they sing 'Why are you waiting' it annoys the hell out of me

rachb 02-04-2004 10:16 PM

I can't stand the one where that man runs into that womans car.
The one where she says hello mum I'm on the tele:devil::devil:
I think its some insurance company

Building society adverts are a pet-hate of mine with those Halifax ones being particularly guilty.

They're insincere if you ask me.

AndyJK 03-04-2004 08:35 AM

All the injury compensation adverts. National Accident helpline, Injury Lawyers4u being the worst of a particularly bad bunch.

T-Mobile with the annoying glockenspiel playing in the background. Who'd have thought an instrument radiating resonance could feel like a drill burrowing into the skull.

Life Insurance Ads. Arrrgggh! Simply Millfield is the worst. I don't usually advocate violence, but I know what I'd do with those blasted gnomes (as if anyone would place them outside their house) if I got my hands on them.

Expensive anti-wrinkle cream ads featuring 20yo models claiming to look "younger". Yeah right. Who do they think they're kidding?

Confused.com - No, it's not confusing phoning up several Insurance Companies for quotes.

BigSister 03-04-2004 01:56 PM

Insurance adverts
Any DFS 1 with Linda Barker
Have you got rid of your gremlins ones for exams

sweetlittlesara 03-04-2004 02:08 PM

The currys ones, I dont know why they just annoy the hell out of me. Oh and Channel 5 adverts, they are all so long and boring!!

BigSister 03-04-2004 04:31 PM

Oh yeah I forgot the curry ones:mad:

BusyBee 05-04-2004 04:03 PM

I hate that one (I think its Fosters) where someone loses their head.

I also hate the Neil Morrissey/Lesley Ash ones - gone past their sell by date.

Though my most hated are the Halifax ones with Howard and anything with Linda Barker in especially the Curry's ones. That other girl does all the work and I bet she gets a fraction of Linda Barker's fee.

I heard this morning that they are axing the Desmond the trumpet player butter ones. I quite liked that one.

I read in a newspaper today that those adverts has been running for 20 years. I didn't know that they had been on for that long.

Annoying Ads
 
Okay, why do adverts insist on being annoying? All adverts these days are either boring, unimaginative, or PLAIN ANNOYING.

So - 3 of the worst offenders.

Esure / Michael Winner. Anyone who knows me knows that Michael Winner is the most-hated thing that I know, and no matter what he says, I will not 'calm down, dear', until he gets the HELL off my television.

Cravendale Milk - these toy figures shouting "MILK MILK!" in stupid voices. AAAAARGH. Why? What's the point? Argh!

and finally Hastings Direct - I hate that little knight. Oh, clever thing you did there with the number, but THERE'S NO NEED TO SING IT. Or the websites.

Needless to say I will never use these products/services, ever.

Now - what are your most-hated ads?

Sarah. 03-10-2007 05:49 PM

0800 00 1066...........!

See i know it by heart and therefore it's done it's job in making people remember it :)

But yes it's annoying..

Matt 03-10-2007 05:50 PM

I hate the Hastings Direct adverts so much. They drive me absolutely fricking bonkers.

Words cannot describe how much I hate their adverts.

Red Moon 03-10-2007 05:50 PM

The Crazy Frog adverts that were eventally reported by to Ofcom.

Shaun 03-10-2007 05:51 PM

I think the hastingsdirect.com advert is worse.

Spike 03-10-2007 05:54 PM

I hate the Hastings Direct adverts, they are so annoying.

cujo-man 03-10-2007 05:54 PM

What is with those Hastings Direct Adverts?

He just bursts into dance completely randomly and its that weird Egyptian dance thing!

Jackie 03-10-2007 05:55 PM

Moonpig.com how many times do they have to say it?:shrug:

Ruth*Star 03-10-2007 05:56 PM

Tasha_x 03-10-2007 05:56 PM

I think it's a Toyota one :)

Also - injurylawyers4u - Why is that woman so aggressive? She's obviously not getting any...

AND phones4u - why do they insist on casting stupid, ugly and scary people? It's not funny :(

Sarah. 03-10-2007 05:59 PM

Barry Scott on the Cilit Bang advert has started to annoy me now. The people on there don't move their mouth to their voice, it's like they're robots!

cepb 03-10-2007 06:01 PM

The advert that drives me most around the bend is the ad for Picture.

I think there must some psychological trick where they annoy you into buying their products.

Sarah. 03-10-2007 06:05 PM

Omg I forgot about the worst advert of them all ^ Picture, absolutely hate it, I have to turn the TV over whenever I see it.

That woman makes me so angry... :mad: =D

Nicola 03-10-2007 06:06 PM

I'd say the Cillit bang ad!

Scarlett. 03-10-2007 06:08 PM
