Ah, lads, why so negative. There are some very good ads also. My favourite is the Specsavers ad where the farmer shears the dog. Absolutely brilliant.

On a serious note, I love that ad also, especially the bit near the end where he does what he does with his eyes.
 
Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...

To be honest, I'm getting fed up with all ads that use kids to do the voiceover. It was cute and funny the first hundred times, but enough!
 
Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...

I love the poo at pauls ad - its friggin hilarious!

I hate hate hate the coke ad with Duffy on the bike. Its like she has the weirdest voice ever in it. I have to switch the channel when it comes on.

The worst ad on TV must be the shreddies ad.

The idea of a load of incontintent grannies who probably smell of pee mauling every little shreddie before it gets to your bowl is enough to turn you off the stuff forever.

My least favourite from yesteryear is:

"Do the shake n vac and put the freshness back, do the shake n vac and put the freshness back, your carpet smells ........aaarrrrrgghhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!"

Ah no I love it, especially when one of them starts letching after the "hot" inspector dude! But your reaction is amazing, you must actually eat the stuff to associate so strongly with it? lol
 
Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...

Listening to the radio this morning I realised that the ad that drivers me more insane than any other at the moment is the one for the Halifax credit card. You know the one where they keep sayiny "Oh, flip, oh, flip...." etc.

That part is bad enough but the bit at the end when that sanctimonious git says, "Watch your language, Pat. This is a place of work." drives me to despair!

And to totally kill me off, if you listen carefully, he lets out one word and actually says "This a place of work"

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

That Cadburys one. Also supplemented in shops with those displays that churn out that music!

Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...

I really hate the poo at Paul's ad, more than any ad I have ever come across. Put me right off my tea one evening as I watched the news. lol

Full marks to Guinness for years of consistently brilliant ads, Specsavers I'd have to agree have been really strong of late too.
 
Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...

agree on the Poo at Pauls ad and would extend my hatred to any dubbed ad

Also the "Granny danced naked at a rock festival ad for Nescaffe."
 
Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...

The cool granny drinks Bud Lite ad annoys me.
 
Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...

The smug mutton head in the Mitsubishi Lancer telling his son about the birds and the bees. Cant bear his stupid expressions or gestures. That one gets switched off. So funny I forgot to laugh.
 
Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...

I hate that ad too! I dont even understand it!
 
Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...

The ads I hate most are on the radio when say 98fm advertise on a Friday evening or at the weekends to tune in to their morning show. I mean IT'S THE WEEKEND!!
 
Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...

A new ad I heard today which gets my goat......

TodayFM are sponsoring a concert in October at the O2 for some band called....
"span-du ballet".....the horrid pronounciation is repeated more than once in the ad!

Wonder who "span-du ballet" are, a tribute to the great 80s band "Spandau Ballet" perhaps..?!
 
Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...


I heard that too! Everytime she said it I was shouting at the radio. Surely someone involved with making the end would have heard of the band and known how to pronounce it.
 
Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...

Unfortunately the add is probably being announced by someone who was not even born when Spandau Ballet were in their prime!
 
Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...

Triple A golden maverick ( some kind of calf nuts if I recall) cant beat that whistling.
 
Re: Two ads that are really getting on my wick...

Re the "span-du ballet" ad.....someone must have had words with TodayFM (or TodayFM read AAM!).

I heard the advert again today, and it's been re-recorded with the correct pronounciation!

Or maybe "spandu ballet" couldn't make the gig, and Spandau Ballet are turning up instead!!
