I agree. Those 'Here comes the girls...' ads are an affont to all humanity...full stop!
It was mentioned earlier but I'm surprised the ad with the naked-arsed Richmond Ham man ( or could it be Richard Hammond?:eek:) hasn't pro-'cured' more votes for its direness!
The worst advert on TV at the moment is definately the Go Compare one. It is sooooo annoying, I just want to smash my TV everytime it comes on - luckly for my TV I settle for just pressing the mute button!
The one where they say its NOT a natural part of growing old about bladder problems!
Apparently it is.
If your over over 40 and this happens then it is a possibility of this happening then!
You've identified a starting point!
My thoughts exactly. And do teenage girls really like Duran Duran??!!
Some think they're cool and retro by liking stuff from the 80s. This is why you see kids wearing the kind of fashions we wore then and riding BMX bikes.
Thing is, they think they're discovering it for the first time and that it "belongs" to them.
Grr.
If it helps, they're all >25 and some closer to 30... which makes it all the more laughable!
I know it may seem heartless, but I absolutely despise the charity ads for kids in Africa.
The one with the girl where the voice-over says "she's just a terrified little girl" is the worst because it is far too upsetting.
I think it's an awful ad to show to people. If people want to give, they will give. We don't need to be emotionally blackmailed by our tvs, which are supposed to be for entertainment.
I mean, you'll be sat watching scrubs with some friends and some funny ads come on, then that is just sandwiched in between them and it's really awkward.
It's crap at getting it's message across anyway since I have to switch over the second it comes on because it's too upsetting.
They took the emotional blackmail, tugging at the heartstrings thing too far and now I just can't tollerate it for more than 2 seconds

This must be some kind of wind up. You don't like the ads because they make you feel awkward and upset? Ah diddums.
Thankfully for you its easy to make it go away. You just have to change channel.

It's a thread for worst adverts. The clue is in the name of the thread, not insult people who happen to dislike an advert you have no problem with, and tell them to just 'change channel'.

For what it's worth I completely agree with you. Seeing starving children and being told what terrible lives they have upsets me and makes me switch channels (whether that makes me weak or in denial, I don't know), so a lot of the time I don't even catch which charity they are appealing for.
By the way, I do donate to charity... just not on the back of seeing these adverts.
Anyone from Northern Ireland might get what I mean when I mention the DOE ads? They're for road safety and whilst I get why they're aired, I have to switch channels anytime they're on, the latest one which is REALLY long is the worst, it absolutely freaks me.

I miss the BT ads with Kris Marshall (Nick from My Family). These new ones are terrible.
Agreed!
You mean the Day V Lately one?
You know, that actually makes sense!
I have no idea how I came to think they were selling actual wine.
Apparently it is.

Scare-mongering again

Spread the cost of Christmas etc etc.......

Yeah a few days in the coal house will sort her out.

Yep, that's the one. At least it'll be gone after Father's Day, presumably (and hopefully)!
Confused.com Quick Quote - £1 per message for these idiots to find a cheap quote?! Waste of money!
Go Compare - ARGH! They just showed the first version again!
Daily Mail - No, I don't want your Jubilee crap! :mad:
Curanail - I REALLY DON'T want to see fungal nail infections on TV while I am eating! :mad:
Not on the High Street.com - I HATE this advert! :mad: Not only does it have a kid talking but he says the word "Daddies" way too much!
Any advert that ends with the phrase "The perfect gift for *insert special occassion here* day"
No, but then Anna isn't a teenager.
Or she is, but an American High School In The Movies teenager.
They're really only alienating those silly enough to take that nonsense seriously.
