The bassline from the Direct Line advert is stuck in my head!
Kevin Bacon waffling on about stuff he doesn't know about on the EE adverts.
The only one of the EE ones I find remotely entretaining is the Jedward one, but only because of the Paul Daniels impression when he clearly has no idea who he is! don't know how much he got paid for those ads, but it is not enough...it will never be enough:o
There are a couple of ads out at the mo that I can't stand
1) butlins...aarrrrgggghhhhhh the music
2) 118 118.....aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhh the music
3) Citroen DS3....the music doesn't relate at all to the car and it gets stuck in your head
4) the ford B-max ad where the guy dives through it. It's in EVERY single break
5) the new Honda civic ad, makes me feel sick with dizziness
6) the pounds to pocket ad, with the woman who got her mega bucks loan for her car which is "vital to get her around" as she hobbles with a walking stick. So she can afford it eh? How about the mobility scheme then!!!
Sorry for all that, there are actually more but I can't rant any more lol!
turkish airlines have a habbit of making terrible adverts, last year it was that wozniacki one with the umpire stealing her in flight meal this year its kobe bryant and leo messi trying to impress a kid

I hate those. Especially the one in the chippy, where he mentions Rolf Harris and 'Two Little Boys'. Where he says one of them was called Charlie. He's talking about the boys in the You Tube vid, but it sounds like he's saying one of the boys in the Rolf song was called Charlie. And we all know they were called Jack and Joe. It's just trying to be too clever. And I personally don't give a flying f**ck what Kevin Bacon knows or pretends to know about British Social History. So what? Are we supposed to be amused and/or flattered that Bacon's heard of 'Heartbeat' Big deal!! :mad:
Also, what is this sudden trend for saying at the end of ads: "Say hello... to the " Insert smart phone / tablet / car name here. That annoys me.
I saw the Army one in the cinema last night :mad:
"You're born, you cry, you learn, you grow, you change, you save, you pull, you change, you save, you sleep, you save, you pull, you lose, you save, you sh*t, you save...
I quite like the Butlin's song! At least it's a nice change from the 'whingey song by a child-voiced girl' stuff that we seem to get on ads these days.
- The ad with "Don't Stop" by Fleetwood Mac being covered by.....yes....you guessed it, another stripped down, acoustic, folk-pixie taking huge breathes between each line.
- Logbook Loans. Take out a huge loan, and you only risk losing your car! Can this country sink any lower? (yes)

Mentioned it earlier in the thread. It's truly awful
Saggy faced Loose Woman on Heating Logic advert miserably talking about "servicing old boilers" and saying "you don't have to be Carol Vorderman to work it out".
If I was gonna "service an old boiler" give me Vorderman over that gloomy faced harridan anyday.
melanie sykes take a break adverts
dawn porter wipe your ass ads
robert webb meerkat ad-so unfunny
idiot mueller light centaur ads
any bingo adverts
ronnie corbett meals on wheels
obnoxious "simon from corrie" lookalike kid on bread advert
ariel advert with chav kid showing off his shirt
I saw the new Warburtons advert the other day - I was like what the heck is this about? I thought it was an ad for crumpets then for betting shops lol. Infact I thought of this thread before it had finished - I in no way thought oh I want to go out and buy some Warburtons crumpets because of it - I thought what a selfish man that old guy was who won at gambling(!) though I do like a good crumpet but I don't see how that ad particularly promotes crumpets as such...seemed pretty random to me.
BT 118 500 - Has anyone seen the charges for this now? 62p per call plus £1.99 PER MINUTE! :eek:
Why even bother when you can do it online for FREE?! :rolleyes:

118 numbers = about to go out of business due to the internet / smart phones but misguidedly trying to make a fast buck during their final death rattle.
Just seen a St John's Ambulance advert promoting the teaching of first aid skills and frankly found it troubling.
Man finds out he has cancer.
Man goes through chemotherapy etc.
Man goes through rehabilitation.
Man recovers, cancer appears to be in remission.
Man starts choking to death on a burger at a barbecue.
Ok, I do get the message, but it's a pretty nasty advert in my opinion. There's better ways of getting your message across.

I sooo hate that advert!!! Lazy young cow!

Thanks for that, but I'm still none the wiser about the "good doctor" bit, unless you watch star wars or Dr Who cartoons then it is w mystery.:D

That used to be the excellent Disparate Youth by Santigold before Direct Line got hold of it and contaminated it.
Yes I know, Hong Kong and Shanghai Business Corporation but please, enough with the damn "isn't Chinese culture awesome?" ads.
How about showing a new HSBC ad featuring tanks rolling over students?
2) Mental health advert. Delusionally hopeful to say the least.

What annoys me about that ad the most is the way it's presented as 'real people' when it's blatantly actors.
