Can someone point out to those Oak Furniture morons that "to pay interest" does not, and cannot, mean the same as "to pay attention".

"Now pay interest, 007"
"On what, Q?"

the latest Heineken ad that uses a 1969 song by Donovan called goo-goo-Barabajakal [sp] - though i wonder how many thread users remember it
I remember it, loathed it and always found Donovan creepy. But as I loathe Heineken as well, and therefore switch off their ads, I've managed to avoid Mr. D. Thanks for the warning.

How can you have someone fronting a business as one of the brothers to then have them appearing in other adverts.
That's a trust score of zero to me.

I thought the same, you take or have an interest in something, you pay attention to something. But you pay interest on something

Really being bugged by the Which smartphone guide ad, it's the chap who can't video chat, with his glasses down on the end of his nose, push the fecking things up, if you have to have them down there to use them your prescription is wrong., so annoying

Any advert voiced by Ralph Ineson (who played Chris Finch in The Office).

He currently does the voiceover for the Wickes and Dacia ads (as well as the programme Countryside 999),

I just hate the sound of his voice - it's so creepy and intimidating.

Got to agree. But I wonder if I'm being swayed by my opinion of Chris Finch

That back to school one for (I think) George/Asda. "You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes." Irritating.

One that really grates with me is the insurance (can't recall which) ad where a couple have been flooded and the female voiceover, affecting a light northern accent, explains how their insurance man was in the area and so all was well. What irritates me most is that her voice changes to that of an actor told to speak with a smile in the voice so we know how wonderful her world is because of the said insurance co.
The final male voiceover of the insurance co speaks like a 90 year old more suited to a Werthers Original advert. You almost expect a golden glow.

Haaaaaa. Glad to get that off my chest. Nobody need ever worry about being flooded again!

Not to mention the female with the babe in arms, looking at her 'partner', as if it's all his fault!!

You mean stayed red, but I get your point as he's passed the stopping lines well before the lights change to green.
Not sure where he's going but he'll not need car insurance when he gets there as he'll have picked up enough points to be banned

The advert currently getting on my nerves is the HSBC one where the little girl is trying to get her hands on the last football sticker to complete her collection.

At one point her Dad spots her asleep on the sofa exhausted, sticker album open by her side, and considers buying the last sticker on his tablet for a hugely inflated price. Cut to his wife shaking her head disapprovingly.

Next thing you see is the wife looking something up on her phone in the middle of the night while the father is asleep, and she and the daughter then go on a jolly day trip on the bus to the home of the footballer to have her picture taken with him, which she proudly puts in her sticker album in place of the real sticker.

It just bugs me that the wife is shown stopping her husband doing something extravagant to make his daughter happy, only for her to then go behind his back and arrange her own extravagant solution, including a fun mother/daughter day out without the father.

It just feels really odd to me. It comes across like the Mum is totally trying to hog all the glory and her daughter's affection.

There are a lot of ads like that making men look bad.

The worse for me is a drink drive ad where the wife rings her husband up to pick her up. He has had to much to drink so says no. He is then made to sleep in some sort of room or dog house as they say because he refused to drive while drunk. That makes me fume What message is that sending out!

bacterial vaginosis adverts around tea time

Also; that bloody fanny pad advert with the daft cow footballer "Nothing can stand in my way! There's nothing that people can say!" continues to boil my pee. Bugger off you silly cow! You're doing bot all towards equality by appearing in these adverts prattling on about being a woman footballer then whinging about fanny pads and "conquering the field".

You lost any and all credibility the moment you said "because I'm a woman do you think I'll crack under pressure"
