The "Old el paso' adverts. Never liked fajitas, and of course it's one of those pseudo-world food things dumbed down for bland taste buds that probably turn out to be made here or in Europe, like Korma or frozen pizza.
I dunno, there's a billboard for them on the Waterloo and City line station at Waterloo and it makes my mouth water at 8.30am. Perfectly placed to deflect the misery of the W&C line.
Wow - it's been forever since I last saw a Cash For Gold advert. What happened to those?
The PPI adverts are ridiculous. Surely everyone who needed to would have been dealt with by now? Their adverts, telemarketing, and general harassment of the British population is out of control.

Firstly because I find it distasteful to prey upon people in financial difficulties by offering them deals that would make a loan shark puke. But also because the puppets are creepy and promote the stereotypical image of elderly people as doddering old nutters, when many these days are dynamic urbane cosmopolitans on the cusp of modern technology and pop culture.
On the subject of creamy adverts (I thought it was Muller, had to go and check, shows how useful it's been as an ad) is the Ambrosia one based on Annoying Orange. It drove me spare at first but it's (blush) grown on me.....
Without a doubt the no1 most annoying adverts are the Direct Line ones. I won't ever use them because of their utter assault on my senses.
I totally agree.
Who exactly are Direct Line targeting? Complete idiots who they can rip off because those people don't know any better.
That stupid woman with her pampered dog and the daft couple with the silly hair styles. Anyone with a brain cell need not apply.
The Mars England goalkeeper advert is bad not just because of the poorly put together images and the fact Scott Parker and co are clearly not even in the same place as the rest of the advert but the fact that if a member of the public came on and saved a goal England would not win they would be disqualified for fielding an ineligible player.
This advert doesn't work on any level poorly put together, poorly acted and the concept wasn't thought about.
or perhaps it could have been seen as "just a bit of fun"
I really din't understand why people get so uptight about ads... they're just adverts.
The Train Line. With that headache inducing chant of "choo choo choo" and those stupid, overly-excited "dancers" trying their best to freak people out, that advert is a (methaphorical) trainwreck.
grr! I read this post this morning and I have no particular problem with the advert, its just a big piece of cheesy nonsense but reading about it has put the jingle in my head and now I find myself humming it.
I dunno how you can't find the dancers funny though, particularly the big fat beardy bloke in the skin tight gold lame... or the guy dressed as a mobile phone...

Exactly! And also the ad requires suspension of disbelief that all the other England players would convert their penalties successfully
If England were short of keepers, someone else in the squad just has to put the jersey on.
On the subject of annoying girly covers, after the highlights of the England game they had a woman singing a piano cover of "Thriller". I quite liked the piano chords which were quite atmospheric, some of the girl's twee, breathy vocals were dreadful :eek:
How To Ruin a Classic 101 - MJ is dancing in his grave
The oreo adverts where the smug little brat eats it like a disgusting animal. Let's all teach our kids to have bad table manners, ey? Just bloody EAT IT, enough with all this licking and twisting already! Yuck!
Could not agree more. I detest these with a vengeance. If it was the last thing to do on earth to save my life even then I would not 'go c*mp#are.'
Why the current obsession with PPI adverts? If I didnt know about it and it was 10 years ago then thats my own fault.
Again I agree. As a medical person to me PPI stands for 'Proton Pump Inhibitors'- drugs used in the treatment of ulcers. Not aware of any scandals involving misuse/selling of those....
CALGON - gone are the days when advertising executives might depict two neighbours casually chatting over the garden fence, expressing disatisfaction with their washing machine's performance. In our digitally advanced era we are more likely to see a simulated 'chat' take place between two simulated 'friends' via their computer monitors. The advert includes emoticons, to further dumb-down and add 'autheticity' to the portrayal of these conversationally deficient non-entities who obviously need to develop interests outside of household chores.
Weightwatchers - Lose weight and you too might join our elite rank of successful, independent, confident idiots who spend their time bouncing down the street with an ethnically diverse ensemble of subordinate 'girlfriends' whilst singing Cherly Cole b-side songs and punching the air enthusiastically.
All Film Trailers - Remember when you could make up your own mind about whether or not you wanted to see a film based on the quality of it's trailer? It seems the advertising men want to put this tradition behind us. Film trailers on ad breaks now focus their attention on broadcasting recommendations from the supposed general public. So we get a few momentary glances of actual film footage and more inane passages of blah blah given by carefully screened and selected morons. In the minds of these ad executives we as consumers are only capable of making an informed decision about going to the cinema to see a film, if we can first see and hear positive reactions from other idiots whom we are supposed to identify with on a superfictial basis. The idiots are winning, indeed.
Philadelphia - It annoys me how the woman over-labours that phrase of 'three fussy boys'. When I first saw this ad I knew (without even seeing a husband and two boys) that this third 'boy' she refers to is a fully grown man. It's not a particuarly new or clever tactic for advertisers to use, yet the way the scriptwriter overworks that phrase - like we were close to missing out on the joke of the century or something - sets my teeth on edge.
M+M's - After what seemed like an eternity of rib-tickling hilarity that ensued after the 'I fancy a snack/get in the bowl/no you get in the bowl' advert, M+M's are back with another pathetic attempt to 'capture the public's imagation' through the medium of televeision advertising. What have they come up with? A desperately unfunny union-jack waving slideshow of shite that showcases some of the most out-dated, crass and pedestrian nationalistic cliches that only the stunted imagation of American advertising executive could muster. Ocourse such a campaign would be incomplete without a dash of 'street' or hipster internet jargon to impress the kids so the term 'epic fail' makes it's way into advert, precisely 18 months after the general populace stop using the phrase alogether.
Walls Sausages - Mildly amusing because of the singing dog, but don't like the patronising suggestion that all 'working class' males are incapable of expressing their emotions and possess a palate refined for only cheap, mass manufactured and nutritionally bereft foods.
Pathetic girly singing covers has gone on for too long now. They make me want to punch something. The women who sing these things sound like they can't really be bothered to breathe much or sing out much. Hate them.
All perfume ads are just shit. Why are the men always shirtless or wearing three-quarter-length trousers?
Those Maltesers ads where - oh, my sides - the girls make the two sleeping guys snuggle up to each other. Fancy! Two men getting comfortable with each other.
Dolmio: if I want to buy overly sweet tomato jam, I know who to get it from. Those CGI "Italians" freak me out. Revolting food, revolting adverts.
In fact, I pretty much hate the advertising industry.
The oreo adverts where the smug little brat eats it like a disgusting animal. Let's all teach our kids to have bad table manners, ey? Just bloody EAT IT, enough with all this licking and twisting already! Yuck!
Then their is the one where she puts on a right sulk and raises her eyebrows at the father for eating it.
Excuse you little brat but who paid for these biscuits. I did!
Whoever makes these ads has obviously never heard of the saying dont play with your food.

Tombola used to be the sponsor for Emmerdale so viewers had to put up with snippets of that song at least four times a night!
Didn't they get found out they was a scam or am I just imaging that?

I love that bit - Bet he went to drama school for years and ended up on that!:p
Hadn't realised any of their previous 20+ ads were 'classics'....
This just drives me insane- almost to 'go c*mpare' levels.. What is it with the shouting and almost crying?
