They seriously need to take that prostate cancer advert off TV, with the annoying kid in a hat, explaining to his Dad about "Adult nap time"

Is that the best they could come up with , someone needs to be sacked for putting that on air
what annoys me as it always did, even for I was diagnosed as having prostate cancer, is that the ads for female cancers were all supportive, while the prostate one is just cringe making.
I dread to think what the testicular cancer ad will be, always assuming that they care enough to make one, after all they seem to think, if it doesn't affect women it doesn't matter, as witness the length of time that it took to screen even this disgusting and insulting one

"Moon River...."

Oh, go away FFS. I've been through two long term relationships since this sodding ad started. Must be at least 5 years old?
only TWO in five years, you really do go in for long term relationships

My TV is LCD, so the glass knocking bit just looks stupid when it comes on here. And as someone else stated, you're asking me to come to your site, why feel the need to be so demanding and forceful?

Oh those advertising agencies and their outmoded attention seeking ploys .... I quite like the glass knocking, it's very obviously intentionally retro. Saying that, like you I find the rest of it's irritating as hell. Even with the yummy Phil Glenister.

Companies have been able to use this get out for years. Here are just a couple of examples:-

Pizzas advertsied as Italian or 'Real Italian Taste' - small print 'Made in Germany'
Italian Spaghetti Bolognese - small print 'Made in Holland'

The last one always bugged me as Holland is not a country, its a region in the Netherlands. Similar to when Americans say England when they mean the UK.

Although nowadays most adverts will use the word 'style' in the voiceover so they don't need a small print disclaimer. For example 'Greek Style' yogurt.

^^ The most embarrassing one for me was the New York bagel company, where the stereotyped New Yorker is prattling on about how much he loves New York, says we "need a taste of New York", then it flashes up that they are made in the UK Seriously, some ads are so phoney, it's laughable.

Another more recent one says something like "Italian pizza... perfect for the freezer!" Yeah like freezing a pizza wouldn't in fact be total blasphemy to any self respecting Italian pizza place!

The dreadful Crunchie ad with the very badly done fake mouth (fad of the month it seems), and the even more dreadful Cadbury's 'Leicester' ad. Cheap crap for the brain-dead.
Yeah, how much did they spend on that advert, five quid?

Also hate the badly done stop motion type ads, the Weetabix one was annoying, now there's one for some yogurt bar with a woman body popping(?) in an office that's really annoying at the moment.

I can't believe someone gets paid to churn out adverts like that, which probably took someone about ten seconds to come up with, there's no effort or quality about it at all.

Chicago Town Pizza - the real authentic taste of the American version of the genuine Italian food, made by a German company on an industrial estate in Leyland, Lancashire.

Is that the one that looks like it was filmed in the storm drains of LA, or does Chicago have ones like that too?

Big open LA storm drains as featured in Terminator 2, The Core, In Time, and never mind they are all listed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_An...lming_location
though having said that, maybe that's the point, someone wanting a taste of the home town pizza...?

p.s. also sincerest apologies for calling a river a drain though on the other hand I know I've been rude about the Thames in the past so nobody's getting special treatment. Unless they drank the water.

Yes, there is a Chicago Town pizza advert recorded in the LA river basin.

And yeah, it's not really a drain it is a river culvert designed to cope with a flood surge, which is a great idea. Here, we'd put a housing estate on it and then act surprised when they flood.

And the SCS ad with the silly gimme five cow on it. I want to smash her face in.
I just had to quote this post. Out of all the ads in all the world I hate this one the most. That woman gets on my t*ts soooo much I can't bare it. My husband knows how I feel about her and the adverts so now he pretends he fancies her just to wind me up some more *grrrrr*

That's the one - not quite my kind of music but very 'up' so it's an ad I don't actually mind though I haven't seen it 2000 times so that may yet happen

Unfortunately that's one of those things that could genuinely be funny if we didn't keep doing it.

Are you sure he's pretending? She's quite the hottie

I agree though, it is an annoying ad.

Italian Spaghetti Bolognese - small print 'Made in Holland'

But if it's made in any of the parts in orange, then they're not lying, are they?

Or of course they could mean Lincolnshire

Are you SURE that's correct?

The No-No ads

Stupid annoying background music - and the ads seem to last for hours!

AARRRRRRGGGHHHHH
YES very very annoying! FFS, just use a razor. 10 for a quid in Asda!

Saw a McDonalds ad with a horrible slow piano cover of That's Entertainment. ARGH!!
AWFUL! Not only that, but there are lots more ads that have classics that have been slaughtered by breathy indie singers.

I really can't stand that new L'Oreal advert with Karlie Kloss (all I know about her is she is another friend of Taylor Swift) and that bloody annoying "tap tap" sound being repeated. It's the annoying way in which she says it and how she does it about five times in the ad.
VERRRRRY annoying. TAP TAP, TAP TAP,

Yeah, that too. I've seen that program "Can't pay, we'll take it away" before where some relative has had a visit from the bailiffs! They're always really shocked and confused by it too like "My daughter wouldn't do this!", yeah right. Makes me wonder how many people just naively sign this sort of thing off for a friend or relative and end up getting stung.
OMG I hate this! Amigo loans and companies like them need shooting.

You would need to have a screw loose to be a guarantor. Some people seem to assume that you're just giving a character reference or something. NO. You will have to pay the money/loan repayments/rent etc, if the person you are being a guarantor for doesn't cough up! So unless you can comfortably afford to lose the money that is the loan amount. SAY NO TO BEING A GUARANTOR!

The dreadful Crunchie ad with the very badly done fake mouth (fad of the month it seems), and the even more dreadful Cadbury's 'Leicester' ad. Cheap crap for the brain-dead.
Yes that one is awful!

Noticed TalkTalk have started advertising on TV again after last year's huge security breach and losing loads of customers as a result. Yeah good luck with that guys.

The advert for a soap satchet (Persil?) where the Lady appears to be having it off with the help. Making light of adultery!?
