    The Carlsberg advert is annoying me at the minute. An entire spa hotel full of women and their partners. The men go to great lengths to dig a hole in the ground and tunnel out because they desperately want a drink. They eventually get the tunnel finished, send a bloke out, and he appears back with a box with about 6 bottles of Carlsberg between all of them. Why, after all that effort, didn't they bring back enough to fill the box at least instead of filling it with ice?

    I've noticed there's a few ads where they've found a new way to emasculate men and make them a subject of ridicule- just make them physically smaller! It's all very bizarre, like the jacobs advert with the small man 'this chair's great, can I keep it?' 'no'.

    Seems like 9/10 adverts belittle men, to me.

    Yeah, just seen another one where there's a woman and the voiceover guy is saying "Brian is awesome, you love Brian' etc... 'but you enjoy being here without him even more'.

    Wtf?! >:(

    That really weird and annoying haribo advert.

    But I think most annoying advert is that annoying maltesers advert where you just listen to her eat it and the noises are horrible.

    Oh and also the youghurt advert with Nicole Scherzinger she is so annoying the one's where she gets the yoghurt on her nose and just laughs it's solo annoying and that shampoo advert where she just starts screaming. She's in too many adverts just get off her TV.

    i said you buy one you get one free windows makes my teeth stand on end.

    I had a Safestyle rep. round at mine once and when I told him their ads were rubbish, he told me that they were very popular 'oop north'! :o

    I can't stand the bathroom advert where the half-naked couple sing along to 'The More I See You'. The smug look on their faces makes me want to put my boot through the telly.

    Also, the hotel one where the bloke ends up upside down. I can't remember what exactly it's advertising but it's another one for the boot treatment.

    He's talking bollocks. Salesmen are good at that.

    That new ad for those Yogurt lollies called Yollies. The so called Yolly itself looks so creepy and weird. Who would give that to their children to eat. It doesn't look appealing at all. Also the brave bones club thing sounds just ridiculous.

    That old skittles one confuses me, the one when he touches things and they turn into skittles. How come the chair he's sitting on doesn't change? And how did he manage getting dressed?

    Yeah. He'd be nude! It's actually a disturbing concept. A bit like the Midas touch story.


    Len Goodman advertising Farmfoods. Yeah right Len, as if you shop there!

    And how has he lived that long, surely he can't have been able to resist turning himself into skittles for that long :D
    And it's more sinister, he can kill people by turning them into skittles :o

    How did he even get a job in an office? Surely he'd be worse than useless in the workplace. Unless he worked in a sweetie factory.

    "I'm living the life of dreams" gives me nightmares.

    Don't know if this has already been mentioned but do The Simpsons know that Ford have nicked their theme tune ? "Forgive him he's an idiot..."

    Actually, in the original full-length version of the ad (I'm guessing this was only ever shown in the US, because I've never seen the middle section of the ad when it's been shown here in the UK), the 'people turning into skittles' thing is referenced:-

    I bet brian lied about not liking all those things to spare himself the embarrassment of being seen in public with her

    So how did he get his wife pregnant?
    Never mind I believe there was another skittles advert that sort of explains it if you know which one I mean

    Yeah, and don't forget, it's 'daaarn sarf' :D

    That's probably similar to the 'oop north' one in that, nobody actually speaks like that.

    Yeah, the whole ad is stupid, I don't get what they are trying to say with it at all.

    It's almost like they're going for a strong independent woman sort of vibe, and actively trying to alienate 50% of the market, but even that ends up getting lost in all the bs.

    Calgon - the dishwasher ad, making it sound like an episode of Watchdog. One with Martin Lewis the ('cats in the news' guy) and one with Carol Smilie, I think.

    Toyota Yaris? with people 'singing' in the car :mad:

    Is that the one where they're all screaming, basically? Any ad with singing - no, just no. Same with whatever the ad was where a guy's in a car, mumbling to America's Horse with No Name. I so want to punch him to shut him up.
    That stupid yogurt advert with Amanda Holden. I swear to god, I hate this woman so much!!!

    Remember a couple of years ago, her "love me! love me!" daily news articles in the Sun about how she wasn't dead? Who gives a shit?!
    Oh and also the youghurt advert with Nicole Scherzinger she is so annoying the one's where she gets the yoghurt on her nose and just laughs it's solo annoying and that shampoo advert where she just starts screaming. She's in too many adverts just get off her TV.

    Jack of all trades, master of none. So had enough of her. Her last single went in high, but dropped like a stone after that.
    I had a Safestyle rep. round at mine once and when I told him their ads were rubbish, he told me that they were very popular 'oop north'! :o.

    I live in Manchester. I hate them!!
    And how has he lived that long, surely he can't have been able to resist turning himself into skittles for that long :D

    What about when he takes a piss??
