Can't remember what it's for but the one with the dad and boy on the day out and then the mother comes home and they are lying on the sofa and she says something like "you'll have to look after him again" speaking to the dad but the little boy answers. The ad itself I don't mind but I hate those cocky little bratty kid characters they cast that come out with "funny" lines.
I hate this too, it's a Weetabix with something advert
I am currently abroad but still have the misfortune of seeing the awful UK-based ads : ( : p
v20. Crunchy Nut - I haven't seen this advert since the start of the week (thank Christ) but I'm sure I saw it before I left so it's still on my list :mad:
v19. Wonga - I'm still seeing these horrible ads with the old people at the desk, but am avoiding the radio ad as I can't hear it which is great news : D
^18. Persil - I was shocked to see this utter shite back on the tv earlier on this week so it's been annoying me frequently :eek: :mad:
^17. BT - Why am I still seeing the shitey Olympics-themed 1 on the telly? It's so crap it's unreal :mad:
-16. Gucci - A new ad for their fragrance "Premiere", with some daft bint staring zombie-like out of a window and walking around a desert next to a giant fan, you know, the usual absolute nonsensical pish that is contained in a perfume advert, but it's the INCREDIBLY annoying EXTREMELY repetitive tune that's playing in the background that really annoys me :mad:
-15. Money Boomerang - I've seen this once, but is SO annoying I just had to post about it :mad: it features about 5 old geezers pissed around a table while looking really angry and about to be sick, and it's supposed to be about f*ckin' PPI claimback, STICK IT UP YOUR ARSE!!!!! :mad:
-14. Yahoo.com - Another new one, and many might have guessed why this is featured in my list, obviously because of the annoying "YAAAHHHHHHOOOOOOO!!!!!" at the end of it :rolleyes:
-13. GladStoneBrooks - Another PPI claimback pain in the arse. :mad: This time with the ANNOYING opening "THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!" STOP SHOUTING!!!! >: ( NO IT ISN'T!!!!! then followed by the tacky-looking, beyond crap powerpoint about 1 load of sh*t.
-12. First4Lawyers - "If you're a clumsy b*stard, you might be able to make a claim if you saw your hand off or split your head in two with an axe, or simply bump into your boss and fall over and pretend to be hurt, then we may be able to help give you compensation, and why wouldn't you trust me, with the face of the Devil. Rip-offs guaranteed." That's about all I can say to basically sum up this load of shite >: (
^11. Weetabix - I'm still seeing that insolent little bratty sh*t on my tv screen followed by THAT stupid f*cking song! AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! Is there no relief?! :mad:
Yes, everyone who has pointed out that the Weetabix advert features an insolent little brat, I agree with you! I just saw it - I hate that kid more than ever :mad: I feel sorry for this kid's dad.
As fun as it is seeing Go Compare Man get blown up, it does lose its appeal after a while.
I also hate the insurance one with the man and woman, with the woman who goes "Ooooh! SAU-VIN-IONNNN!" Annoying bitch!:mad:
Too right.When it comes on I have to switch over it's so unbearable.
Another one is the Dulcolax laxative advert where she carries a big bag full of food round, highlighting how your belly is full of crap when you're constipated- lovely thought -thanks for making me think about that .
Procter and Gamble- they try to make themselves look all friendly and fuzzy when really, they're just another evil multimillion pound company. "Proud sponsor of Mums", Pah!
It would be nice if all the products we buy were independent, and not owned by 'umbrella companies'.
And of course, GSK- it's like the thinkbox ad- when am I ever going to use your company? Ever!
Oh, and on the note of evil companies- Robinsons ad! Their quadruple-concentrated sugary bile will NOT save you money because they would have made it more expensive! Annoys me to no end.
Advertising is legalised lying indeed.
And finally- British Gas- the guy in the car, but it's the music that drives me mad the most- so repetitive!
And that reminds me of Currys Knowhow. What a scam! "we can tell you the difference between 3D and LED" "We will always persuade you to buy £10's worth of unnecessary cables and dongles" "We will always drive you towards the most expensive TV- i.e the brightest one in the shop".
The worst thing about the ad is how they try to copy British Gas. I never liked BG's concept, but the currys copy drives me mad!

I find that one funny, with him singing "boom boom". However, I have only seen the advert a couple of times so it is sure to get overplayed and annoying!
Procter and Gamble did run a 'proud sponsor of dads' advert for about a week, this was around the same time as they started the 'proud sponsors of mums' commercials.
I'd guess that P&G did some market research and found that women had a positive response to the 'mums' ad and that men were totally indifferent to the 'dads' ad, thus P&G pull the 'dad' version and use the advertising slots for specific male products/brands instead (ie Gillette Fusion).
That Doctor Who trailer on BBC. No it's not that the trailer is terrible, it looks EPIC! The thing that annoys me is the "This Autumn" that comes up on the screen. GIVE US A DATE NOW FFS!! :mad:
As mentioned before in thread, British Gas. Annoying and no wonder they hike up prices all the time, paying for rocket fuel to go into the vans. Sounds about right as they're always doing about warp 9.
P.S. What the heck is Johnny Ball saying? (I won't need to point out where in the vid).
Q&A was one of them .... can i get baby food off my baby seat stand ... YES .... wash/rinse/reusuable(?) I may have went wrong somewhere
the follow up the red bin :eek: .... felt like I was "price is right" or something else.....scrap that all new plenty ads .... carefully avoids these ads now!

Most of them wouldn't know the difference between a toaster and a vacuum cleaner.
Volkswagen - The latest hilarious ribtickler sees a woman buy a car hanging from the magazine rack in her local corner shop.
We don't see how she gets it down and drives away -- just plain stupid.
Harveys Furniture - the one which is shown as sponsors of Corrie. I personally find those ads sexist and an insult to my intelligence: those two women seem to intentionally (?) come across as really stupid and make me cringe. Do the advertisers think that those of us who watch Corrie are on a par to those thickos? :mad:
Yeah, why is Juan S**t...I mean Juan "Sheet" back on my screen?
I much preferred the other Plenty ad but these are just awful to watch .... maybe he should drop by on the "big brother" house and use plenty with juan sheet!

With the amount of products they have and the number of their ads in each ad break you'd think Procter & Gamble were running the Olympics. Not a fan at all. My brother hates their proud sponsor of mums thing, they don't sponsor mums it's more like the other way round with mums buying their stuff.

She was on ITV the other night in a Marple...
I find it funny as well
