Adverts that are annoying you at the moment?

They know their demographic I suppose. Just like those SHIT Walls adverts for Sausage rolls, with the Streets-style dog thing talking to the woman "because, you know, he's a man and can't say it, innit"

:daf:
 
Ugh that Philadelphia advert with the "real" person making a recipe, flanked by a sycophantic twatty "presenter". I don't think mixing some "Philly" with strawberries and dumping it on some pre-made meringues counts as either a recipe OR something delicious.

FUCK OFF
 
It's almost as bad as the WEETABIX CHALLENGE where those idiotic students poured a SMOOTHIE over one.
 
Oh lord i'd forgotten about them! Worst. Adverts. EVER.

Wasn't there something even worse than the smoothie one? I seem to remember BUTTER AND MARMALADE (on dry weetabix!), but i think there might have even been something nastier than that too.

I had the vague recollection of SOUP being involved but I've GOT to have made that up.
 
CAN I JUST SAY, that one weetabix topped with some Sainsbury's blueberry wheats OR apricot wheats is a lovely cereal based breakfast to have, and sets me right up for the day.

Try it diddy, it will blow your mind.

That's a CARB FRENZY

I'm rather partial to Dorset Farms' Honey Granola with a generous dollop of Alpro Vanilla soya yoghurt. In the words of that hateful Starbucks Frappaccino cinema adverts, it's BUH-LISS (:sour:)

Remember Teeps, being happy keeps you beautiful! :)

There's a particular STYLE of advert which fucking MAKES MY PISS BOIL and it's becoming more common. It's those awful MEET JOE BLOGGS ones where they assume the public is some SINGLE BRAINCELLED EVERYMAN who struggles to TOP UP HIS MOBILE. It's so reminiscent of Apprentice pitches and makes me so angry.

An example is those O2 ones with the guy from Peep Show where we are introduced one by one to a gang of IMBECILES who shouldn't be in charge of a telephone. Victoria Wood also does a series of radio ads for Sky about JOCASTA who gets a PUNCTURE in her BORIS BIKE and almost misses an episode of ANTM :manson:

Is this just a PERSONAL RANT?
 
If only it were!

The Tesco mobile ones are pretty terribl, though I HATE the Asda buyback blowback guarantee challange ones

Ugh yes! Die die die! "I saved £4! It makes such a difference especially when you're a tarty mother with three kids from three different fathers."

You probably spent more than £4 in petrol/public transport just to get to fucking Asda in the first place!
 
I can't believe you people still watch adverts. I cannot remember the last time I sat through an ad-break
 
This has been mentioned briefly before but I found no fewer than TWO friends who thought I was a embittered cow (in the "How could you not find it sweet if a GUY did that for YOU?" kind of way) for thinking that this advert is the biggest pile of twee gobshite I hath ever laid my eyes upon and for thinking ukuleles were not "fun" but more like SATAN'S FAVOURITE INSTRUMENT.

FUCK OFF.

It's not that I hate the instrument as a rule. I just usually have thoughts that are more violent than is healthy towards that straw trilby-wearing gimpoid that is almost universally attached to said instrument.

Oh I HATE that one (I am NEVER watching The X Factor "live" again). What pisses me off most about it, besides the song and the whole TWEE nature of it, is how the HELL does she get to the other platform that quickly?!
 
I think they're doing a service - if that's the sort of tit that you'd find on match.com, then presumably most people would steer well clear.

What on earth were haribo THINKING? It must have been a 'so bad it gets a cult following' type attempt, which does seem to be happening a bit.

It's the daughter i hate the most. Look how SMUG she is to be eating a haribo! And it's not even the good variety. And the toothy little brat can't even sing in tune. ALSO, wtf at the petrol station. It's like something out of a Daily Express advert, all twee and 1920s. And i hate the really unnatural way that they remove a sweet from the curiously stiff bag, though that's nothing new.

10/10, i can't stop watching it.

So i'm watching my fave soap on Hula and they keep playing commercials for the new Charlies angels TVs show and The Hamptons show. Same 2 ads over and over. :evil:
 
Quite a few to list:-

1) That Gillette one where a bloke with a camera crew goes into a gym locker room or whatever and as they walk in the bloke lets out a massive "WHOOOHOOP!" Why the fuck does he do that??? It just sounds so strange!, it's even worse then the early 90's one with some retared singer going in the background "Gilliette!!, the best a man can geeetttt!!!!"

2) That dating one where the guy is playing the ukele to that woman at the station.

Like that would happen in a million years

3) Oh and then there is this awful Haribo advert showing an annoying singing family. There all terrible but this one is really terrible even worse than the "There Going to Taste Great" Frosties ad.

4) Any Lynx ad, sleazy don't even sum it up enough.

5) Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but that stupid dating advert where the guy starts playing a guitar in a book store and the girl sings back in conversation. For one, shes quite hot, so I doubt she needs a dating website but what really winds me up is when she says she likes old movies like The Godfather 3. Its not exactly what springs to mind when I think of old movies (and I'm 31!) and besides, its Part 3. Seems silly I know, but the whole thing winds me up.

6) Confused.com YMCA parody, one of the worse songs ever made simply crapper!!.

7) The new Lucozade one with the indie twats performing a soulless version of Feeder's Buck Rogers, while rolling down a hill on a skateboard and petrol-powered go-cart with a big metal frame at the back. As soon as the first notes from the guitar come in I get angry, then when the drums come in they sound like cardboard boxes, which makes me want to snap the drummers head off. The singer looks and sounds like a moron and his voice is like it is coming out from a broken speaker. Then the quiet bit before the big final chorus is replaced with a stupid "ooohhhh-oohhh!!!, ooohhh!!--ooohhh!!" chant and misses out the big drum part before the end chorus kicks in. Stupid fucking hipsters butchering a Feeder song, boils my blood :angry::angry: It annoys a mate of mine because they skip two lines of the Feeder song. It goes from 'He's got a brand new car' straight to 'It's got a CD player.' That gets on his tits more than the awfulness of the actual advert.

How excatly is it advertising Lucozade? It's just crappy unsigned indie band rolling down a road then....Lucozade. What? :rolleyes:. The singer also has his arm in a cast, hope it fucking hurt him.

8) Halifax ones where the staff/actors pretend to be radio presenters . I used to like "Step It Up" by Stereo MC's especially on the Ant and Dec film "Alien Autopsy" when they are making the fake alien, but now its completely ruined.

9) Also the mobile phone one where you can send your old one for cash (I've forgotten the name of the company the advert is for) but one word spoken by one of the guys on it that makes me want to break my telly and that word is "WONGA". I thought that was Blackpool FC's sponsor!!.

10) Luis Figo "Just for Men"

and when she turns the volume up, it's actually the speedometer!.
 
Mr Monkey, on the Lucozade advert they skate past the side of a building with the word Lucozade painted on it in giant letters and then the lad at the end is drinking Lucozade.

You seem to have issues with several adverts, have you considered switching to a BBC channel when the adverts come on?
 
The current series of Moneysupermarket adverts voiced by Sir Patrick Stewart. I'm not sure which is worse, the actual advert, or that HE has lowered himself to do them :(

I know that, but what has a car with leather seats and a CD player got to do with drinking a fizzy drink?.

Adverts in this country are so annoying, it's like it is the "Great British" advertising method to annoy you into buying the product just to shut them up. Only the Guinness adverts are any good, especailly the one that used a Perez Prado song in 1995 ish.

Living with my girlfiend makes it hard to mute the TV, it annoys her when I mute the TV for ad breaks, or change the channel when there was a broadcast on the local news about Leeds United who she don't even like!.
 
It must be a LAUGH A MINUTE chez 12th Monkey.

JUST GET SKY+/TIVO.

You seriously believe that the soundtrack to an advert should correspond with the product being advertised? How do you know that it isn't the "I think we're gonna make it" chorus lyrics that you should be listening to? Who told you that buying a product will stop the advert showing on TV? Whoever it was lied to you. You must be the most gullible man in the world.

Don't get TiVo, or smug rapist Mark whatshisface WINS. That one off Hustle, it is Mark, right?
 
It sounds like someone NEEDS A GOOD RAPING to cheer himself up.

It's a WIN/WIN situation.

Agreed, especially since I've just seen a SkyPlus advert with Dark Overlord Jane Horrocks in a seemingly unironic advert where she continues to peddle her cutesy bullshit, along with the most unconvincing laugh I've ever heard.

GOD I HATE THAT BITCH


Mark WARREN, THAT'S what I was trying to think of!
