How long before that Tainted Love Weatherfield /Emmerdale ad disappears?
The awful twee singing, as is the fashion on so many ads these days.
The original Gloria Jones version is 100 times better, or even Soft Cell's version.

Go away all these twee, lazy voiced girl singers.
Couldn't agree more, wanna tell these rubbish twee singers to grow up fgs.
Most probably sung by women approaching their 30s.
Not sure what the ad execs obsession with these childish singers/covers are - everyone I know seems to find those ads dreadful cus of the irritating music.

On a similar note, the obsession with having kids in adverts is getting tiresome. As someone who really doesn't like children it doesn't make me more inclined to use their product. Especially the AWFUL Andrex ad. "I feel as clean as a washed potato" - that's not "cute" or "funny", it's cringeworthy and quite revolting.

Extreme sparkling shiny stars started to grate very quickly, as did the stupid Kinder Chocolate "teddy is very very not very well" rubbish.

I blame Dermot O Leary for popularising that shite sound

Agreed.
On a separate note: Carol Smilie's back! In a shit advert!

Totally agree. And it annoys me the way she doesn't even sing the right words: "Take my tears and that's not many, oh" instead of "that's not nearly all"
I've seen a couple of adverts recently where there's a couple and the typically "average looking" boyfriend transforms into a hunk with muscles and chiselled cheekbones somehow. One was for a hotel website but I've forgotten what the other one was for. I am a woman and I find it annoying and a bit offensive, even if it's meant to be funny.
I know this is the Worst adverts thread, but I really like the Metcalf's Topcorn advert. I like the music and the way the dancers dance and the way the girl explodes.

it's the same company (booking.com) mentioned a few posts above.
They have a couple of different ones at the moment.
Any advert that has some kind of "quirky" character is annoying like that job searching one with the guy dressed as a superhero or the awful Dreams beds one with the wierdo shouting "Give me more!!" or Go Compare with the opera singer.
You can imagine the people who come up with these adverts think these characters are absolutely hilarious when in fact they're just incredibly irritating.
Is the waitress in this the same girl in the booking.com advert who starts to delude herself that her boyfriend's a hunk because he took her to a hotel with a swimming pool?
I wondered about that as well... I'm certain she's the one from that car-search site as well. The one where it says, 'You don't know what you're doing'.
The carol smilie dishwasher cleaner ad. Its ridiculous.
The bloke says something like "you cant tell this from home but one of these has been using the cleaner and one hasnt and you can smell the difference".
Cue carol opening one and scrunching her nose up "eew that smells" and then opening the one right next to it "mmm fresh".
No! If you had an open stinky dishwasher and you smelt the open clean one next to it you would still smell the horrible smell! The dishwashers were right next to each other so surely the overpowering smell of rotten food and grease would be more dominant than the unsmelly one!

Oh piss off you patronising ad! I have never heard young kids talk like that! >:(
The latest Anchor ad - bloke swings a toddler upside down by its leg.

Agreed.

I also like that advert

Why is it considered perfectly OK to stereotype an Italian family like that?
If Mamma, Pappa, husband, wifey and the kids were Chinese, Indian, Pakistani or African there'd be an absolute outcry.....
Mind your own bloody business!>:(

And if we cant tell at home then why show us!
Did it also used to say made in Holland in the bottom left corner as well. Or was that the Ragu muck ?
I hate the little shouty cocky git on the come to Blackpool advert, referring to his family by their first names.
