Boredom Thread: What advert drives you insane?

[DMcNay]

whooooooooaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh bodyform, bodyform for you!!!

Apparently there are loads of guidelines for when you advertise fannypads. seem to recall you're not allowed to use the word "clean" for some reason.

Can't think why...

Thought of another advert I hate: "Erm, we did say GENTLE exercise" Fuck off.

[nuttytigger]

or, the color red!!

the really badly dubbed adverts, always piss me off, as does the one about febreeze and its a guy in a pink shirt!!! coming in and out the door all the time!!

[DVF]

Yep, Micheal f=#*-=g Winner - crap, no.1 hated advert for me..
Loan ads - crap.
Personal accident comp. - all crap.
Vodaphone, AOL, bathroom products - crap, crap, crap.

The adverts on TV just now are 99% crap.

This only leaves the good adverts, not many recently:

Irn-Bru - funny as...
Honda bits - exceptional
The Lynx ad with the boy dancing woth the 2 tarts - the one on the right was superb.
There's a couple more but I can't remember them just now.

As for the ads in the pictures, does the Odeon still show that one for the curry house round the corner?

Television sucks Big Time. Do yourself a favour and bin the fecker and go read a book instead. Stick the radio on @ hourly intervals if you really need to keep abreast of what shits going down in the world.

PS: Cut the plug off the telly and keep it handy in case you need it for that Breville sandwich maker thats under the sink and never see's the light of day........you never know:!:

Come come, Mr 93, I'm thought you recently took ownership of a big black 32"er.
Hmm, you did, it was mine, you......

Already mentioned was the Admiral Insurance advert.
The one that really got me was the one with Ross Davidson, scot fella that played Andy from Eastenders.???

Work must have dried up for the poor sod after Andy's brush with a Routemaster on Albert Sq. and he must have been kipping down the Southbank when this job offer came in.

The advert was shot in a supposed actors changing room, and bear with me on this, he was playing the role of an actor getting ready to play the role of the admiral.????
I never got it, why was he playing the role of a person getting ready to play the role of the admiral??
It was done like a behind the scenes look at the Admiral Insurance advert.
Why not just don the bloody costume say "call the admiral" and get off, stick a parott on his shoulder or something.
Great catchphrase though "call the admiral". got the point accross.
I did just that and rang up the Lord Nelson down in Tradston asking for a quote, I was promtly told I'd require critical life cover if I ever called again.

Mr F, you have indeed, I've got Dancin Dad, he'll make an appearance soon...
What about old 93?
Got all the Mod cons you know.

[duncan]

that's reminded me of another crap ad - BidUp TV, with the smarmy sales guy with the shiny suit, hair and teeth.

[Apollo]

ANY advert that comes with the promise along the lines of "Save up to 40% bla blah" or "We called XXXX and saved almost 40% on our XXXX".

I would have thought that by now there would be some sort of legislation to stop these people delivering dribble like this that Joe Public will fall for and sign up before realising the 40% didn't relate what he was actually paying.

Make 'em give real figures (like that will ever happen) then we can see that they actually all charge about the same and be able to see who the overchargers are

[kn0wledge]

I hate advertising on the internet. It seems that almost every site has whored itself out to advertising corporations. It's not like the old days.

Yes yes, I know that some sites need the revenue to pay for bandwidth, but that still doesn't mean I have to like it ;>

The vicious slaying of board members or guests must be approved by at least ONE moderator first.

Please remember that in the future.
