Most of them are terrible, but some are more grating than others.
The worst for me is the one I keep hearing for donkoease (no idea how to spell it). It's something to help women loosen hard stools. I cringe all the way through the advert, which has dreadful over acting and the subject matter is just well TMI. Everytime I hear the narrator do say the closing stap line "Not to make you go but to make it easier and more comfortable when you do go" I shudder. I don't want to know. :mad:
Those adverts for Philadelphia spread also grate.

ICELAND ...Kerry K. and her strange way of talking as if she has a boil on the tip of her tongue.
person 1 - if you'd have gone to centuryradio.co.uk you could have got money for your mobile.
Person 2- Centuryradio.co.uk?
person 1- yes!! Centuryradio.co.uk
all said in a stupid shouting voice!!
All that stuff ... its horrific - a total switch off.
The carrying a knife stuff on Galaxy are also pretty bad and have reaching for the tuning dial.
Both on Real Radio Wales.
1st one is for a Car Shop Called Trade Centre Wales, advertised by a bloke named Trevor.
2nd one is for another Car Shop in Wattsville. Its where they tell you to set the Satnav to Wattsville.
2) Ads involving some sort of financial contract, where half the ad is someone going at a rate of knots through legal jargon that we can't hear anyway
When a really bad ad comes on, does anyone else put their fingers in their ears and go :
MMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMM
I normally go:
lalalalala lalalalalalalalalala:D
or failing that I'll switch stations!;)
hate that!!
There's one I heard somewhere recently, which has a male voice (talking about getting loads of sim cards and giving them out to people you know)
"You can give one to your mummy" (Firstly, eugh. Secondly, it's in a bad imitation "posh" voice)...
"You can give one to your boyfriend, innit" (done in a "Chavvy" voice)...
"You can even give one to your Nan" (done in a REALLY bad Scottish, elderly voice) *this one really pisses me off.. I can't explain why.. I know it's irrational. It. Just. Does.*
ALL DONE BY THE SAME MALE VOICE-OVER!!! I know there's a credit crunch on, but if you want 5 voices in an ad, pay for 5 voice artists!!!! GRRRRR!!
(This thread is better than therapy, by the way!)
UPVC Door Company - Stupid wee Jingle
Scotia Double Grazing - The smooth talking voice over is so corny!
Real Radio's Pure Results - Even worse when John Byers does the voice over!
Any of Real Radio Agency adverts (The ones using the 61122 text number). Especially the Grafters Construction Recruiment one.
Any advert that has the guy with the Crispy voice. He does some of the BBC adverts for the Scotland games. But does a lot of Local Business Adverts like Buildbase. Infact - His voice is used in half the commercials on Radio Clyde and Real Radio!
They may well annoy the hell out of you, but you remember them - and recall is what it's all about...
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaint Helens Glass... dum dum.. has the class.
why do publishing companys allow their Artisits songs to be butcherd this way ..really Naff
Its truly terrible, and goes through all different songs using one word to get its message across. Really gets on my nerves.
As soon as I hear....."Did you know...." I have to switch over.
