Adverts that drive you mad

[give it to gordon]

Hays Travel

The sale rep has the weakest brew I've ever seen

 

[old blue]

Not drive me mad but the Albert Einstein / Angela ripon smart meter ad......who on here is waiting for his bollocks to fall out of his shorts

I noticed that at the end of the advert there is a copyright warning about anybody using Old Al's image. He died in 1955 so how does that work?

 

[york away to this!]

Every five minutes on BBC tv, radio and i-player.
Apparently they're plugging a thing about some old Scottish, bullying pisspot.

That Hoseasons ad; they've annihilated a classic song.

Mentioned that to the Mrs yesterday, they're all at it with the most ridiculous lyrics.

The advert for On The Beach.

A completely overdone gag based around "booking" sounding a little bit like "f*cking".

Paddy McGuiness doing the voiceover in his usual way of trying to sound funny with a grossly exaggerated northern accent.

The chubby kid who throughout the advert seems a right annoying little c*nt who if I ever saw in an airport wouldn't be far away from a slap.

Needless to say, next time I book a holiday it won't be through them!

Given your first comment, do I need to point out the irony of using an asterisk to disguise a word that's plainly obvious? You did mean 'fucking' didn't you?

When the adverts come on then the mute button is your friend. I tend to record most things I want to watch and then fast forward through the advertisements. It's surprising when you do that how long the advertisements take for a one hour program, twenty minutes is not that unusual.

Barclaycard are guilty of the same offence.

Compare to the Citroen ad featuring "Suffragette City". No pissing about with the original sing.

I've notice an increase in the dippers accent being used on adverts now.

 

[TinFoilHat]

All US drugs adverts.


"Side effects may include death."

That's one hell of a side effect.

Ain’t Milk Great!

 

[pfazz]

that fat prick lay in the bath talking to his mrs about cheap funeral plans, no wonder he cant get a proper acting job.

A box ticking exercise on the regional accents front....the midlands and west country are also well represented.

Never watch live tv with adverts as a rule. Until last night when a female who was here wanted to watch some shite on itv at 9pm. Seemed like most of it was fucking adverts, and flipping loud ones at that. Lesson learned. My house, my rules.

Any advert for funeral plans means I just change channel. Dunno when it all started but I,m sick of hearing about them. What if they go bust five years after they've taken your money???

It's probably been posted recently. Paddy Bucking McGuiness. I haven't a scooby doo what he's advertising, just infuriates the he'll outta me. I'd say his normal Boltonian pronunciation would be 'booooooookin' not bucking as per Foo Foo Lamarr. How that got past advertising standards is beyond me!!

I eff n Jeff with the best but I'm not keen at all on this as an ad. Bring back the Cadbury Smash ad....!!

 

[Bewar3them00n]

Car adverts that promise the joys of the open roads, coastal drives on empty roads, city centres deserted, ample parking everywhere.
Just be fucking honest for once.
