Pingit advert: why is everyones mobile stuck to that funny shape thing?, what is it supposed to be anyway? then the voice over says, aah she just sent her part of the bill from last nights meal to her friends mobile (mobile lights up stuck to thing) what, where is the friend? are they there too, if so why not just give them the money in person, must have had chance to go to the cash machine by then...

I don't understand

Trainline is the one which infuriates me the most! Followed by the Oak Furniture one... I mean what sort of absolute 'tard picks a table up with stuff on it in a show room? And if it's 'real oak wood' then how did that wimp lift it?

Still can't get my head around how a business centered around just oak keeps trading... surely that is racist against beech/maple wood

Definitely. It gives the impression that their customers are careless (we've had a young female leaving her cash in a taxi, a dad losing his wallet returning from holiday, and now a girl carelessly losing everything in one bag.) Not to mention she already had a phone to ring the bank but instead relied on 'daddy' to bail her out.
If I was wanting to join that bank it's not been a good incentive so far.

The new Netflix advert with the talking hamsters.We're not five,FFS! Why do so many companies treat their customers like kids or idiots or both?

I thought he sent her £1500 as well, but when you look closely, he has £1500 available, and he transfers her £200.

Still nice to have a doting Daddy who does that very happily, though!
He probably has a few accounts with £1500 in it!

I love dogs, I do. They are often preferrable to people. BUT Ye Olde Bingo Babs Windsor and that yapping dog irritates me no end in equal measure.

"How many people have won today/thisweek/whatever?..one?(yap) two? (yap) three? (yap)....insert Carry On Chuckle here, more doggie yap yapping". Argh. Shut UP.

The one for 'Hit and Miss' that Sky are playing on every other ad-break on the Test Match at the moment. It's got to the stage where I'm instinctively muting the telly every time a commentator announces the score.

Like many people here, I cannot stand the Santander ad....the one where it goes 'you spend, you save, you blah blah blah......... I have to hit the mute button then, it goes on forever!

Also cannot stand the Jackpot Joy ones with Babs Windsor, surely she could find something better to do than these awful ads full of complete drivel!

That might have been funny to some people 30 odd years ago. it wasn't for me but it is just irritating now

Muller corner ad, making mixing yogurt sound artistic. The voiceover lady sounds so patronizing!

I cannot stand the aliens either, the ones from the argos ad, never have and don't think I will. Them singing around the campfire really creeps me out. I mean I actually feel like they may be coming to get me!

That infuriating tart who says "Maaa branch". This advert is so cheesy it makes me gag.

NatWest
I love how the dopey daughter looses a massive wad of cash, so just phones up daddy who sends her £1,500 like it's short change.

Churchill
Why on earth choose Martin Clunes to be the face of your company? I hate to say it but the man possibly one of the ugliest men in the country - not exactly easy on the eye with his enormous ears and lips like a c*nt!

Tener Lady - "Ooops"
I see this advert is back again, like a bad smell (pun well and truly intended) - The one with the woman who walks around pissing herself then casually laughs about it with her mate over the watercooler, must be some sort of weird fetish.

HTC
Annoying little twerp who is apparently taking professional photo shoot pictures on his mobile - Imagine hiring him and the little cretin turns up and starts taking pictures on his bloody mobile rather than a proper camera

Y'know when they're singing 'Ging Gang Gooly', with those blank expressions on their faces? Do you expect the camera to pan out and show an Argos delivery man rotating slowly on a spit over the campfire, or is that just me?

The woman chuntering on about her "Three fussy boys" and how easy it is for her to prepare some cheesy, pipe-filled cyst material for dinner. She scoops it from a "Philadelphia" tub!

The J2O one with the CGI transformation of cats' heads onto human bodies is unsettling to me. It gets morre freaky when a CGI dog and mouse are also welcomed to the shindig because of their possession of the aforementioned fruit beverage.

The breathy little girl singing trend in ads needs to die. It's been going for years now. Didn't Diana Vickers of X-Factor spark the whole fad? Either way, it's wretched at this point. Just so painfully twee and predictable.

The Nivea ad

It honestly sounds like those guys are banging each other.

It not only needs to die but then needs to have its putrid corpse shot into the sun just to make sure it can never come back.

It's even worse when it's men. Did you ever have the misfortune to hear the Lovefilm advert with some emasculated moron vocally raping Steve Winwood's 'Higher Love'? Eegads.

You can watch all the regional versions of this here
http://www.ramsdensforcash.co.uk/adverts.html

Obviously some staff are more wooden than others, and some are also much more photogenic than others as well!



The Perfect Home (similar to Bright House) advert is annoying with the women who almost wets herself when she receives her new washing machine, no doubt on 1000% APR or similar.

HE HAS £1500 AVAILABLE IN HIS ACCOUNT. HE TRANSFERS HIS DAUGHTER £200.

I thought I'd put that in capitals so it's noticed. I explained this earlier.
It's still an annoying ad, though.
