Adverts that are annoying you at the moment?

Dom Joly has been on some weird anti-celeb thing for a while now... they were slagging him off for it on Moyles t'other morning...

That reminds me, that First Direct (I think) ad with the fucking annoying child growing up to be a fucking annoying call centre worker pisses me off.

Is that the one with the chatty girl in school and then she's working in a call centre and her chattiness is now appreciated? UGH.

I really HATE the advert for the 'i' newspaper, where one of the readers says 'NO CELEB GOSSIP NONSENSE' in a really superior way.

Yes! I hate that too! I didn't even realise it was Dom Joly, I just hated the snootiness of it all. As if you can't possibly be up on current events if you're interested in celebrities too. :zombie:

I read the 'i' and there is a bit of "celebrity nonsense" in it anyway, so not only is it quite demeaning, but also false. :confused:
 
It is more a case of it being completely rubbish than me hating it, but the 'That's not me!'/'This is me' catalogue advert with Lynda Bellingham.
 
That peach tart looks HORRIBLE. And the scuzzy beef stew. Bring back Dervla Kirwen, at least her slutty food always looked proper nice.

Before anyone starts i must say that i am loving the I Am Not A Robot Bupa advert. It seems to be the only advert on tv right now and LONG MAY IT REIN. The bits with the mother trying on cancer wigs with her son break my heart and warm it at the same time. And it appears that my hero the 11th doctor is doing the voice over.
 
The new M&S ads provoked a great need to cook what they showed. I think I'm cooking boeuf bourguignon and apricot tart soon :D

An ad I watched innumerous times yesterday and annoyed me is this:

I can't stand her face and her smile in the end bit.

The new M&S ones, particularly the one for the peach tart or whatever do my head in. That mans VOICE :grr:

I don't like how he just ASSERTS how things are just BETTER if you do them THEIR way. Same goes for the Innocent Orange Juice, and even that hair re-growing stuff (people feel BETTER with more hair)

ANYWAY that's not what I came here to talk about. This isn't annoying me really, it's that Natwest customer charter advert, with lots of tedious real people going on about how good Natwest is to other tedious real people. I just have to laugh at the rubbish phrasing "Nothing is hidden. Just the facts" sounds more like "Nothing is hidden, just the facts" JOB WELL DONE

Oh I've had a good few rants about THAT one at home, let me tell you :shy:

The Natwest/RBS customer charter ads annoy me quite a lot - I hate to be all 'publicly funded banks rarrgh', but how much are they SPENDING on a campaign that's basically begging the public to trust them again? I don't really get why banks need to advertise at all really, it feels like a complete waste :angry:
 
Now this one i feel i should hate, but it somehow brings me such joy. I think it's the fact that the little girl seems so happy to be handling raw meat in one of the shots.

Ugh and that Sky Atlantic one.

Stories :) we all tell 'em :) BLAH FUCKING BLAH

I don't like Dustin Hoffman that much
 
I'm going to talk you to about ISAs. :hitler:
Natwest is very good at ISAs and so on :hitler:
Our brochures are written in English too :hitler:

that guy freaks me out, he's like an ageing Terminator from the same factory as David Cameron
 
This little DITTY:

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GZRFuEoAdek" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Aside from mentioning my home village (Kilrea) it's FUCKING IRRITATING and on all the time.
 
I'm sure they must have been mentioned before in this thread, but I've only looked a few times. Thankfully almost everything we watch is on Sky+, so I tend not to see adverts. But the Tesco ads with Faye Ripley and that fat cunt who failed on US TV REALLY piss me off. I used to like Faye Ripley. Rather a lot. Now I want to chin the bitch.
 
Is this a REAL PERSON, or is it Tamsin Grieg doing a character? I cannot tell :o

I read the i as well, and there definitely is fluff in it. It's irritating that they market it in such a way as it really is a great little paper. The tabloid size is a great sell for me. Even the Berliner size of The Guardian is the reason that I usually just pull out G2 and read that if i'm travelling or something.

The Disneyland adverts. Congratulations kids! You’re going to the most grotesque place on earth that you *THINK* you need to go to but really don’t and I’m going to film your reaction.

At least they're going to Paris though. I've had many chats with people who have visited America as kids and scarcely come across anyone that went anywhere other than Disney World in bloody Florida. One of my flatmates specifically went there when she was 17. :manson:

The new Sky one with the frog, though only because it means that Miss PURR-VERSE doesn't seem to be on anymore. :evil:
 
OH MY GOD THE NEW IKEA ADVERT IS THE WORST ADVERT I HAVE EVER EVER SEEN.

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mCVAiqzzyLk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

UGH. I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT. Youtube has some sort of extended 2 minute version, but i think i would actually have a breakdown. I've only seen it on tv twice and both times it managed to trigger my fight or flight mechanism.

I would definitely boycott Ikea if i ever planned on going again, but once was enough (despite some lovely cheap furniture).
 
The IKEA one is truly terrible but the Vernon Kay Flora one is even worse. I don't even understand the product that his fake mother is using.
 
So so bad!

Yes! Why would you be cooking with liquid margarine - FOUND IN THE CHILLER AISLE :manson:

Poor Vern, he was meant to be cracking America. Instead he's making adverts for shit low fat produce. He's literally the male Martine McCutcheon.

In that (AWFUL) Harvester advert, what is that waitress even SAYING? Does she keep saying COMMA? It makes no sense.

I suppose the ad is sort of good because at least it stands out and makes Harvester look less shit than you imagine/know, but i'm sure it could be less annoying. And they don't even stick to the rhythms too well. 3/10
 
The waitress' bit makes NO SENSE, stupid bint. I have never experience Harvester first hand but the advert is more than enough to put me off ever wanting to do so.
 
I actually quite like Harvester. When you want something a bit cheap, that isn't a load of shit it's actually quite good. But that advert is fucking ridiculous. It's a nice idea but executed so poorly it doesn't even make any sense. They're so proud of it they've got behind the scenes/making of videos of it and everything with alternate and extended versions...?!?
 
I had no idea what Harvester was until I saw that frightful advert. Curiosity got the best of my and I had a look at the menu online. FUCK ME do you have to have a degree in CARTOGRAPHY to actually negotiate it?

It's no Nandos is it?
 
We used to go to the local Harvester when I was a child and I had fond memories of it until I revisited it as an adult. Absolutely DREADFUL.
 
I only go to the Harvester if we're out to dinner with my grandparents. They can't deal with anything "ethnic". I don't mind it really. You get what you pay for innit?

I hate the Philadelphia adverts. All their recipes look nicer before they add the Philadelphia.
 
I was quite pleasantly surprised by Harvester when i went to one last year. I was expecting the food to be of the Weatherspoons ILK, but it was much much better. I was impressed with the world famous salad cart too.

What a middle class post this is. It's like i'm patting less lucky / poorer people on the head and saying well done. Condescending cunt.

Oh god, there's a radio version of that too - it's always on at work since someone changed the dial to ROCK RADIO (:manson:)

GOOD CALL. I'd use a broken J2O bottle, make it more poetic.

I am also not liking how TWO separate supermarkets seem to have adverts where cutesy little Maddie McCann types talk about how they love their own brand ketchup. Two separate supermarkets!

GET SNATCHED

The other one isn't on youtube (as you'd expect - why is this one even on there?), but it has a prettier child because it's a better supermarket than Aldi innit.

The new Cheryl Cole Loreal one where she's actually attempting to display some kind of fiesty personality is PROPER CRINGE.

I quite like that new Skittles advert though.
