1 - We don't have to watch it rain any more
2 - No more whistly Oakfurniture Land adverts.
Just having a mute button for their nasty tuneless whistling is sadly no longer sufficient. With every single showing of that ad, I wish more and more for a plague of ravenous woodworm and Deathwatch beetle to attack their entire stock, plunging them into instant bankruptcy.
Most ads get on my nerves nowadays, they are so patronising and seem to be aimed at 4 yr olds (apologies to 4 yr olds!) What's with all these loan shark companies using chirpy, twee jingles to advertise their dodgy practices? ( for e.g. Sunny, Amigo etc)
Not to mention that dreadful ad where the bloke prances around happily singing about his compensation (complete with dancing binmen).
It's not endearing or cute it's idiotic.
If it's not shitty jingles it's godawful girly baby voiced covers of decent songs. It's almost like them singing an awful lullaby to top off the fact that my brain is turning to mush, due to sitting through I.Q dropping adverts that rich drugged up admen thought were absolutely hilarious.
This. If I'd suffered nasty injuries and actually considered compensation, or was desperate for money and needed a loan, what in God's name are they thinking that having stupid jingles and folks dressed in ridiculous costumes have any relevance or lend any trust to promoting a legit service for help in what are serious circumstances?
The Flash Magic Eraser ad with the bloke who voices countless adverts.His voice sounds like his had his vocal cors attacked with sandpaper and what's worse, he affects a simpleton voice here,making him even MORE annoying >:(
Oh and if I see one more advert for `Cilla`....>:(>:(>:(>:(
The Volkswagen ad with the parachute shop with the 'reduced to clear' parachute.
WHY! You obviously don't want the guy to have it, then why have it on offer in the first place!
The Bensons for Beds ads were people say something........then pause......then say something else.....and pause.....and then say something else.....and pause
ARRRRGGHHHH...
Sorry to all but I'm a lurker on this thread but 2 points!
• Why is it only women who suffer from contipation?
• Why does every ad featuring an adult male & younger child have to portray perversion? Eg. Oreo ads, werthers ad, claus ohlsen ad, the parent who takes his teenage daughter to Florida, the old guy who has a burger with a young black guy & loads more! They're only ads FGS! Is ANY older man a potential pervert? Maybe that's why grandfathers are now frightened to bath, cuddle, kiss or enjoy their grandchildren... So sad!!! Rant over.
Apologies if it's already been mentioned, but the Aldi one with the girl who likes ice cream, but only for the sticks that she's using it for a model boat.
The part that puts it into the annoying part is that it seems to be on during *every* commercial break - which, as a result, means that I've virtually memroised it word for word having only seen it for the first time yesterday.
The advert for the Luma credit card (looks like another one with an astronomical interest rate) is in every break on the 5* channel. It's spread to its bigger sister channel too.
...... ford advert advertising the fact that the car can receive text messages, I can't believe they are using that as the main selling point. Would someone really buy a car because of that feature
Cars today are mainly Euroasian identiblobs, therefore manufacturers' only USPs are now shiney-bright electronic dashboard tat. (Which will cost a small fortune to repair when it inevitably goes wrong)
The advert for Rimmel cosmetics.
Some bucktoothed bint says "Get the Rimmel look"
No thanks love - you look like Alan Carr.
... But is actually Georgia May Jagger. Hence the gnashers ...
Re the Oak Furniture Land ads, they may get on your wick but for me they work. It's a simple enough (read 'cost effective') format, but I bet they're doing wonders for their brand awareness.
Silliness is one thing, the key is avoiding asinine (see Go Compare, Money Supermarket et al).
Not to mention that dreadful ad where the bloke prances around happily singing about his compensation (complete with dancing binmen).

Like the benefit cheat with an *alleged* bad back, if he can prance around there's bugger all wrong with him!
The stupid woman with the maltesers is the worst for me. I really want to punch her stupid lights out >:(>:(>:(

Gambling agents trying to make their businesses out to be a aspirational lifestyle choice. Ladbrokes' cod 'Lock Stock' effort, with its lad's gang of stereotypical characters (beardy intellectual, podgy braggart) striking funky dance moves even though they've just lost all their beer money. And Super Casino, with its suited men striding out of an office building, discussing their gambling strategy like they're on a covert ops mission.
ALL gambling adverts. No-one ever loses! No wonder they're so freaking orgasmic!

# Let, me, tell you bout an accident oi 'ad #
Let me tell YOU about a freaking accident you're GOING to have!!!
Just saw two of those stupid magazine ads.
The first one was for a model U-Boat complete in 150 ISSUES with the first one 50p and the other 149 costing £5.99 each. £0.50 + (149 x £5.99) = £893.01
The other one was a model Mallard train complete in 130 ISSUES. As usual the first issue is 50p but the other 129 are £7.99 each. £0.50 + (129 x £7.99) = £1,031.21:o:o
I hate the new car ad that uses Burno Mars. I like the song but the ad has put me off. Also still the go compare ads, they just can't make a decent advert

Must that time of the year again. Does anyone ever complete these models?
Whenever I see the mag. in a shop it just has the tiniest piece of a handrail or something attached to the front cover.
What's wrong with just buying an Airfix kit? (I assume they still exist )

It is rather fascinating. For that money you could buy an entire model rail layout, complete with stations, model passengers milling about on the roads and miniature signs that read "We regret extensive delays".
The new Walkers crisp ads do my head in. I know it's not meant to be taken seriously but winds me up. Picking between crisps and the real thing and they alway pick the crisps as the real thing. Grrrrr
There was one for an iron this morning. Not sure which. Woman happily ironing, bookies comes in with a really creased shirt and gives her a "silly old me" smile. And she irons it! Why didn't he do it himself? Is this 1954 or something? Grrrr.

It's not just me then!

I believe that's what is called "being an actor" - an ad one day, a bit part the next, back to the minicabbing rest of the week.

Reminds me of the film Argo. "Why is it called 'Argo?'", "Ah, go f**k yourself(!)"
Except in any store I go to where they shift everything around regularly

Any advert with singing - even when you mute it, the damn tune plays in your head!
PMSL!
She's Jerry Hall & Mick Jagger's daughter. It's not what you know but who you know.

Has anyone heard shrimpy being used as an insult anywhere else?
