    the best one is the e.on one with the cute little worm creature and people dancing to take on me.

    Perfect case of "good advert but bad advertising" there. It's for EDF. ;)

    An advert I finally feel strongly enough to have a whinge about....
    It features 2 "chefs" who are bouncing about like cut-price Olivers... one them rants at the screen about "mixing things up" while the other adds ingredients at the same time as "beatboxing"... very badly.
    I have no idea what they're advertising because clearly I'm not the demographic they are aiming at, I mean seriously... W.T.F?!?!!?
    I sat open mouthed throughout it.. transfixed at its awfulness... I forgot to change channels

    Saw this link on teh homepage of my browser thought I'd share the pain..

    Anything with that polar bear in the freezer with the weird american accent - I think it's supposed to sound seductive but sounds like some creepy sex pest. I'm not even sure what it's supposed to be selling.:confused:

    I love him!:) It's Birdseye btw.

    There are a few I hate

    The first is those disgusting monkeys faces advertizing biscuits, yuk, hate those with a passion. Imagine they would terrify kids.

    I am getting sick of those asking for money for various charities, they are constant now. How much must they be paying for those adverts too? They really pull at your heart strings and I feel that is just seems like emotional blackmail to me.

    Saw tesco was selling soft toy versions of those monkeys the other day, I say selling as the pile was still quite large and it was busy in there.

    You'd have to take out a wonga loan to pay all these charities so much a month, I don't think so, think I stick to one's I know locally, giving a few coins when I can :)

    I believe the advert with the beatboxing is McVities Medley bars or something - basically a cereal bar with extra bits in it seems :rolleyes:

    Those Direct Line s**tty ones with the 'comedian' Chris Addison (if i've got his name right). About as funny as the prospect of another Labour government.

    The stupid Tombola bingo advert I see when The Chase cuts to adverts. Why did they choose to show every activity there is except bingo on the ad??

    The money ends up in the government's pockets as well as the charity bosses salary. They are hardly pleading poverty. You're right, emotional blackmail.

    I think the new Jaguar advert should be done for false advertising.

    It claims there are machines that want to be like us.

    I know of no machine that is sentient enough to want to be like us.

    That's true - they couldn't be funnier than watching Cameron, Clegg, Osborne and the rest of the Keystone Kops trying to give the impression of a joined-up, thinking government.

    Subway.

    Are they even actual athletes? It doesn't matter, it's a crap advert.

    I agree, it's one of the worst athlete based adverts at the moment.
    "He can't even handle the jalapenos"
    "I've got a sensitive mouth, awright"

    They've started showing most of the Go Compare adverts they've ever made now, not just one!:eek: I'm hoping it's one final "montage" before he finally ****s off!:D

    Hate the Jeremy Kyle Cheeky Bingo adverts, with the badly acted women grinning like they've just done foul farts.

    Hate the We Buy Any Car adverts too...especially the morons who say at the end "Hee hee!":mad:

    I want to praise EDF Energy for their advert though...I love the orange blob thingy.:D That's the way to make a popular mascot without people hating him! (Go Compare, take notes!)

    The advert for Sky TV is YET ANOTHER AD WITH SOME ANNOYING TWEE WOMAN SINGING AN ANNOYING TWEE COVER. I would never have thought You're The One That I Want would be a song any of these ad men would think of to re-do in this ANNOYING TWEE style, but I think they come from a different planet where this sort of thing is the height of cool.

    :mad: :mad: :mad:

    The terrible 3DS ad with those people playing Mario Tennis , the way it's been dubbed is really poor. I hate it.

    Or

    That stupid BT ad with those 3 students............she loves Duran Duran :confused: yeah this is 2012 not 1980.:rolleyes:
    So unrealistic.

    Another one that's really winding me up at the moment is the Vistaprint advert with the nun who suddenly transports herself to a fitness club with all the stupid dancing and the insufferable "woah-oh-oh" music - I have a feeling many a TV in my house will be smashed if this advert continues for much longer :mad:

    Considering I watch quite a bit of ITV2, that new one advertising Coronation Street with the mugs and the irritating quotations is driving me insane - if I have to hear Hilda Ogden shouting something about Bet Lynch one more time I might vomit.
