    That bloody Cheryl Cole hairspray advert. I hadn't seen it for ages then up it pops the other day:mad:

    'Spray it, updo it, undo it, work it, rock it, glam it...'

    Shove it!

    This comment made me laugh my head off lol......I feel exactly the same way about this ad

    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!!!!

    Apologies to Sky this is an ad for Polyfilla

    I find the reaction to Plan B song by the crowd in the Bulmers ad absolutely fake.

    The song is not that good, does not have the rhythm and style that would make you sway side to side with your eyes shut in the way oneof the actors in teh crowd does.

    Its an Ok song...not a crowd pleaser. So wrong song and wrong reaction.

    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.......

    :D:D:D

    I am so full of hate for this ad that I had never even thought of that aspect, so you are quite right

    What's worse is the posh tit outside, offering tickets to watch his 'friend's' band play - can't see Plan B tolerating such a tit.

    Before tonight I would have said this was my least favourite advert, but just recently I have seen the new advert for Ambrosia Rice. It features a bunch of picnic items with human faces and is both bizarre and highly irritating.

    They keep playing Thefindaproperty.com advert and there's now a brand new one:yawn: I'm also gettting bored of the adverts with the polar bear in the freezer, it's getting less creepy and more annoying:/ I'm also getting tired of the stupid BT advert, their seriously creepy and annoying "HUNGRY LIKE A WOLF!" it's just sad and painful to see the guy download music just to impress the girl, lying on a bed,shwoing off hsi laptop:rolleyes:

    The TV lisence ad:yawn: "I want a divorce!" "let's have 4 kids!"

    They've also brought back the very first Go Compare advert:rolleyes: FGS! WHY?:mad: there's also the latest which is a silent movie version...I bet there will be a new one around the corner and I have a feeling I know what they might do next...Space? panto:rolleyes:why are they MAKING us SUFFER with these awful adverts????:mad:

    Just because the fictional housewife in the advert is too lazy to cook a proper meal, it doesn't mean that all housewives/stay-at-home-Mums are lazy. It's a twenty four hour job. I've always worked. Working is easy. You work for an alloted amount of time, get days off, have breaks, you can ring in sick in the morning if you haven't slept in days or are sick, you also have the social interaction of your colleagues. You don't get any of that when you're a stay-at-home-Mum as I soon found out when I quit my job temporally to be a stay-at-home-Mum.

    Believe it or not, it's not the fairies who sit up all night breast feeding and nappy changing the baby and then gets up in the morning, having had not even five minutes sleep, and spends the entire day washing, cooking, ironing and cleaning the house, nor was it the fairies who washed, fed and looked after the kids either.

    I've always worked, but I spent five years as a stay-at-home-Mum before I returned back to work and it was the hardest period of time in my life.

    Mums are allowed to have a break. It doesn't make them lazy. Nor are they slaves, even if many of them are treated as such.

    Absolutely sick to death of ignorant prats talking out of their arse about something they've never experienced.

    Errr... I meant her, that specific one housewife in the ad!! Sheesh. It was the preposterousness of that line about 'I haven't got time to make meals because I'm a mum'; which is rather patronising to say nothing of specious; that got my back up about the concept of the ad.

    Count yourselves lucky, if you watch NBC in the USA you have to sit through this regularly at the moment:

    Every single trailer on BBC Three that ends with the words "coming soon." Apart from crap documentaries, the reason I hate this channel is the CONSTANT use of that phrase! JUST GIVE US A DATE FFS! :mad:

    The one with the shirtless bloke writing around while some energy drink rains on him. I can't remember the name of the drink (ad fail) but every time it goes on I feel compelled to say "oh god, that pointless advert".

    Just seen that Sky ad with "The One That I Want" cover....

    :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Why do people think that sickly, quivery-voiced cover versions sound so deep?! They're awful!!

    I saw it earlier too, think it must be for agroup of care homes or something

    It's for a property website to find a new house, but that isn't what you remember from the ad. I don't like it because the lip synching is way out.

    Also there's a car ad at the moment, don't know which car it is but they drive up a mountain, it's a left hand drive and it really annoys me.

    They have churned out another old Paul Whitehouse advert showing him as a goth. They are all revolting and I would never use that insurance company because of using that idiot

    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:
    Saw this advert when I was at the cinema the other day. Its a good enough ad tbh I really like the animation but the song really gets on my nerves.

    Could they make one where the Go Compare man is completely silent? If they make a Space one could it be one where the Go Compare man disappears into outer space? That advert annoys me and I'd never use that website because of it. :eek::mad:

    Those "Have you been mis-sold PPI" adverts. No, I haven't been mis-sold PPI, go away and leave me to watch TV in peace! And of course the usual payday loan shark and ambulance chaser adverts. I've seen the QuickQuid advert on the MTV channels a couple of times. If I needed money in a hurry watching TV would be the last thing on my mind :mad:

    They're horrible, and the one where he's dead is very strange.

    I still find the guy in the BT ads to be incredibly creepy.

    He really does come across as a guy who's waiting for his opportunity to kill the other guy, so he can capture the girl as his sexual slave, before he kills her too


    Then he'll dispose of their bodies, and wait until the next naive students turn up at his apartment.
