    I wonder if the overweight girl in the advert for the fridge with the ice maker realises how awful she looks in a blouse too small that's about to burst off it's buttons.

    And, if that's the one I think it is, what's the drink that's like a mojito but starts with a C?

    Don't drink myself - unfortunately due to medication - but a quick google suggests Caipirinha.

    The kid with the deerstalker and magnifying glass in the Fairy ad, >:( if he found fault with my washing up he would find himself standing on a chair at the sink with a dish cloth in his hand doing the washing up himself!

    Yeh, and it's clearly a woman doing 'his' voice. When he/she says 'boooring' I could hurl the telly through the window!

    The Meerkat's advert with Arnold Schwarznegger. It reminds me how annoying the Meerkat's and how crap an actor Arnold Schwarznegger is with his over exaggerated expressions.

    The old girl in the Walkers ad doesn't ask the mechanic for any ID. She lets him in without any hesitation and then tries to pinch his crisps.

    The voice over chap who impersonates the late Patrick Allen is really getting on my wick. I'm all for making hay while the sun shines etc, but it's wearing really thin.

    Less is more.

    P.S. Younger DSrs might not know that it is actually an impersonation of someone...

    The one that cheeses me off is the one about the woman running a family petrol station that was selling more snacks than petrol. She then went to the bank (can't remember which one, so advert obviously not doing its job!) and got a loan to change it into a diner.

    Then she says 'it's going well, even though we still get the odd customer wanting a sausage roll'.

    Well, given it's a diner, that's not an unnatural thing to ask for. Now, if they were still asking for a gallon of petrol, then that would be different!

    >:(

    Yes that bit annoys me too. Why would she find it funny that customers want a sausage roll in a diner?
    If they asked for a pine air freshener and a bunch of cheap flowers, I would be worried.

    Most annoying voice ever. Sorry kiddo. It's not you probably just the editing putting it all so close together.... Don't want you to grow up with a complex.

    WTF is an expiration date???

    Surely it's an EXPIRY date!

    It is bit it's one of those times where because Americans use it so often that it is acceptable despite being wrong.

    Expiration I think means when something or someone dies and breathing out whereas expiry means end of or a termination

    Apologies if someone's already mentioned it, but the one with the couple downing all that milk (is it A3?) and it ends up all over their clothes, etc. - it really turns my stomach >:(

    Argh is that one still on?! I used to yell that at the screen every time I saw it! That, and I find it hard to believe that in this day and age she didn't sell more petrol. Must run one in the middle of nowhere or something!

    "I'm the Manager of Firecracker restaurant, and we pride ourselves on serving Restaurant quality Food"

    You are a Restaurant - what else would you serve BUT "restaurant quality food".

    Swill in a bucket maybe ???

    I am racking my brains but i cannot recall if this is for Hungry House or Lets Eat website.

    Wouldnt people be GLAD to have a petrol station in the back of beyond, logically she'd sell more petrol there if people have been driving for ages and almost out? :confused:

    Expiration means ending. Both are correct and acceptable terms.

    She also uses "billing address" and "shipping address". Bloody Americans.

    Natwest:

    The one with the obnoxious kid who explains that his parents brought the house "So they could have me!" (Whispered in a way that just makes you want to slap him)

    In Scotland we have the same ad but dubbed in a Scottish accent. That and the travel agent ad on the radio ("I nearly lost my bikini!") started off with a generic English accent then a few weeks later changed to an annoying Scottish family.

    How many more years will we have to put up with those 118 runners in the ad. bumpers?
    Particularly irritating is when they're supposed to be on the phone to characters out of bad 1970s films.
    Obviously made by twentysomethings* who think it looks 'seventies-retro' >:(

    * and their fathers before them judging how long this campaign has been running ;-)
