    EVERY bingo advert -
    1. IT'S A CON - ALL BINGO IS!
    2. Sexist to the nth degree... always aimed at stupid, poor women.
    3. Moronic.

    EVERY money advert -
    1. They want your money!
    2. You'll get very little help or return!

    McDonalds-
    1. Trying to avoid talking about the actual food these days
    2. Being all "family", and "community", whilst selling you sh1tburgers.


    PS: "Kitchen at Parties" is a Jona Lewie classic, and he's even in the advert. Quality.

    It is indeed. You get a few quid free to play with and win a game or 2 to entice you to spend with them. Then you win nothing. Bingo sites are only good when you go round a lot of them, using up your free credit and winning small amounts then moving to the next site without spending a penny. That's what I did once and got about 20 quid. Obviously you can only do this once per bank account.

    THAT black guy dancing around like a queen faerie promoting some hydration drink in partnership with the 2012 Olympics.

    I thought it was an overreaction of him sneezing and the dots are what you see it is spreading about :eek:

    FFS. Just seen an athletics themed Tampax advert.
    Is nothing sacred?

    I'd like to see them shoe-horn the olympics into a cat food ad.

    Why do I get the feeling that there's an olympic Go Compare ad on the way?

    I have this evening in the Corrie breaks seen the badvert of badverts. It was for some ' Reggie Reggie (sp?) sauce and featured a load of animated food and a rapping animated Jamaican. It is beyond AWFUL - WTF where the producers of this on?!? It actually makes Go Compare and Confused.com fun and entertaining!!:eek::eek::eek:

    Also, I do not put my elbows on the table. or eat peas off my knife, hardylane; and they are not baby goats, they are children who need to be taught how to behave properly in company.
    Good manners are snob value, or an acceptable way of life? Let's agree to differ. P.S Don't expect an invitation to dinner at my house any time in the future.

    Excellent post, you have restored my faith in humanity :)

    APPLAUSE!!

    Hahahaha! Oh the snob value is priceless. Table manners indeed!

    They're kids.

    LOL... every kid I know eats like that... just I did when I was a kid. Life was too short and full of exciting stuff to do by wasting it eating properly

    I saw this one yesterday too; It's Levi Roots Reggae Reggae sauce. I don't know why they decided to go for a 'creature comforts' style advert.

    I would have approved of the ad if Anna had said, "Mm, more of a Napalm Death girl myself."

    And then gone into her room to emerge with corpse paint and a dead crow in a jar.

    That new DFS advert...yet another silly little song sung by another woman with a silly, croaky, squeaky little girl's voice.

    How I wish this stupid song/little girl's voice trend would end!:mad::mad:

    I see that one as an ad for piracy, there's no way he can get to his laptop, open iTunes, search for Duran Duran's albums, buy them all and download in in that amount of time, and it's definatly not iTunes he's shown using.

    Why would he have to use iTunes? Other legal downoad services are available.

    For the ad they are just going to do some generic download site, rather than endorse any one in particular.

    Yep, maybe it's a hayfever ad :D

    I actually quite like that ad btw :rolleyes:

    I will mention a couple more annoying adverts...

    Firstly, the WOWCHER ad! The women clearly have serious problems as wowcher seems to be all they can say. What are they, Pokémon? :/

    The Argos aliens are starting to irritate me, now that I realise how ridiculously unimaginative they are. They're aliens for God's sake, yet apart from the looks (which to be honest are pretty close to a human anyway) they are entirely human! Pretty poor effort if you ask me.

    No dinner invitation for you either, justabloke.
    Has anyone seen a strange advert for (what?). A woman in a child's frock is prancing about, singing discordantly, then dipping a strawberry into a bowl; then an old man comes up behind her and sings in her voice.

    Yep, that's the 'Truvia Scrumptious' advert :D

    I heard another girly song advert last night..the new one for Sky; It features a girl singing You're The One That I Want in a slow ballad style.

    You need serious help :eek:

    The latest one is the worse, trying to seduce the equally annoying, bug eyed girl with Duran Duran. The scene where he's lying across the bed in a seductive manner is creepy :eek:

    That whole BT series is creeping the heck out of me, basically BT appears to be enabling an unpleasant lad to prey on this girl.

    I detest all the Direct Line ads. Why on earth would I want to be associated with the sort of idiots they appear to have/want as customers?

    Those weird Cathay Pacific ads.

    There's one where a customer is given a card congratulating them on travelling for 20,000 miles and then it switches to the smug face of the flight attendant.

    Or some poor sod who is being sung to.

    I am now sick of adverts using old songs remade by females with strange high pitched vocals ie. "Your Song" now Sky have ruined The Communards "Don't Leave Me This Way" by making it a slow ballad its a bloody upbeat feel good song!!!!

    How come nobody takes any notice of those blue aliens in the Argos ads and not whisked away by some top defence investigation authority, like NASA or whatever, even if they don't go into the store having stuff delivered they would surely be noticed, also where did they get legal tender from to buy all that stuff, I sure there isn't a bureau de change when entering earth from outer space.......
