    1) The Ooops Tena Lady ad

    2) The "I like the way you moo" dancing gravy bull.

    3) The toilet paper ads with the dogs who take on human traits.

    Such is the irritation caused by these ads that I only know one of the 3 above products they are advertising, and after all, I only know the tena lady one as there is only one company that advertises incontinence pads on TV, so doesn't take a lot of working out.

    I just read the second one out loud - "dancing gravy bull". I mean, is that what someone came out with at the brainstorming sesh?

    We all must know who he is and what he is doing by now.

    I cannot stand the Ambrosia advert... the talking faces creep me out. Makes me cringe.

    Also the Cheeky bingo... that woman cannot even make a cheeky face... and i just cant stand the questions... or the cheeky boom boom bit.

    Medal of Honour Warfighters - This game is not out until 26th October yet they are advertising it NOW?! :eek:

    OK, I just saw one for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and that's not out until 13th November. WTF? :confused:

    That's just unbelievable --- I mean, with game company's the way they are (GAME going in to administration) it isn't even worth pre-ording as the shop might have closed down by then

    I hate that stupid NatWest ad where the dopey girl loses all of her money while backpacking around India ,or some exotic place, and phones her Dad who cheerfully sends her £1,500 so that she can go on her merry way.

    In real life the Dad would go mental with the girl and shout,"You daft b*tch ! How could you be so careless? Do you think money grows on trees etc." He certainly wouldn't wander off down the street smiling to himself like the idiot in the ad.

    Nothing irritates me more than rich hipster students on gap year adventures.

    Especially when they are in adverts.

    It reminds me of that Pingit(?) advert where the voice-over says something like 'That man is sending his son £200 for university books; I know his son, it won't be spent on books'.

    Hmm.. I dunno. Some parents are so ignorant of the carelessness of their little darlings they probably would do it without a second thought...

    ... Suffice to say that many of these little darlings will be travelling on mummy and daddy's cash as well, which makes it worse.

    Amen.

    If I was that chick's mother, I'd have taught her a bit more common sense too! I worked through 2 gap years and went abroad for the first time EVER as a 24-year-old uni dropout (turns out I hated art students despite being one), and by Christ did I keep a close eye on my money!

    That's exactly what I thought when I saw it :D maybe I'd have more sympathy if she was mugged but she just drops the money on the street!

    And what happens if she loses that amount, does he send her another £1500?

    Pingit advert: why is everyones mobile stuck to that funny shape thing?, what is it supposed to be anyway? then the voice over says, aah she just sent her part of the bill from last nights meal to her friends mobile (mobile lights up stuck to thing) what, where is the friend? are they there too, if so why not just give them the money in person, must have had chance to go to the cash machine by then...

    I don't understand :confused::confused:

    Trainline is the one which infuriates me the most! Followed by the Oak Furniture one... I mean what sort of absolute 'tard picks a table up with stuff on it in a show room? And if it's 'real oak wood' then how did that wimp lift it?

    Still can't get my head around how a business centered around just oak keeps trading... surely that is racist against beech/maple wood :p

    Definitely. It gives the impression that their customers are careless (we've had a young female leaving her cash in a taxi, a dad losing his wallet returning from holiday, and now a girl carelessly losing everything in one bag.) Not to mention she already had a phone to ring the bank but instead relied on 'daddy' to bail her out.
    If I was wanting to join that bank it's not been a good incentive so far.
