Ocean Finance where they have the people jumping over hurdles while in their suits etc. The old man cant even jump over one so he runs between two..they must have really been scraping the old actor barrel at the auditions:

'we need you to hurdle a two foot obstacle..you cant? oh well have the job anyway'


My favourite? The clarkes shoes one where the little kid tries to get the speedometre on his shoes to go as high as he can by running on the spot.

I'm with the people who say car adverts, they all piss me off.

I also hate the ones where everyone's obviously American and they've overdubbed English voices (often badly)

And finally, those cosmetic adverts that use pseudo-science mumbo-jumbo to try to sell over-priced shit.

STILL the most irritating is the Chelsea Building Society.

Man <excited>: "And we've still got enough room for a snooker table!"
Woman: <patronising>: "Oh no we haven't...

Another pet hate is the one where the guy in the library has just unlocked Mrs. Percival's pension, only that'll leave her with f*** all to live on when she retires.

The Renault ad is quite good "Shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass"...

All of the recent John Smiths ads with Peter Kaye in are good. Especially the one where he want's to put his mum (55) in an old peoples home so he can put a snooker table in her room!!


I dislike that advert for obvious reasons.

I did like the top bombing one though.

I also like the Canadian fighting the bear.

Ned likes the Renault 'skakin' one :lolol:

I hate all those adverts for cosmetics with obviously made up pseudo-scientific names. But the worst one was for that shampoo Herbal essences in the courtroom - urge to herbal my arse. They can't even say it properly.

The most irritating adverts to me are the ones that come up up cable/sattelite TV, namely, the ones that offer to make all your debts into 'One affordable payment'. What they are selling is a second mortgague (these offers are only available to home owners) and whilst they do reduce monthly payments the just spread the cost of a long peruiod at userous rates of interest. Only the dumb and the desparate apply and they get ripped off IMHO.

The other ones are the 'ambulance chasing' injury lawyers who, in many cases, rob their clients blind.
 


Top Advert

Top advert has to be the carlsberg one, where blokey licks the whole house clean apart from the missus,

all the transnational airlines adverts p*ss me off,

that's right just cater for the 0.5% of the population whilst the rest of us, have to travel in conditions that are worst then the south central trains old stock.

Most of the northern beers one annoy me. cos the stuff is just cr*p, and if it was any good, they wouldn't have to advertise it.

Back onto cars adverts, they all now focus on how safe they are mmmmm well they still seem to be causing 70,000 child injuries and deaths each year.

how about some on sensible un-macho driving, where the male/female driver would obviouly pick up some cool totty as a result.

Ultimately, the insurance ones really get me with the Pension ones...

I did like that car advert where the football fan in the convertible is driving throught town filled with rival fans and when he realises he hits the central locking.
But i hate the one with the girl whose boyfriend is asleep and only wakes up when she eyes up some greasy bloke.

Agree with Ocean Finance/Yes car credit ad's...

Have always chortled at the EGG.Com 'LaLaLa i'm not listening' one...

'I 'm leaving you John'
'That great..!'.

and Thiery Henri in the Renault ad's does look pretty cool.

The Elton John Sky advert - in which he bears a remarkable resemblence to Eamonn Walsh who hopefully is reading this right now.

Surely thats due to the people doing the driving rather than the car itself.

Any loan company advert which asks you stupid questions to which your supposed to give the answer they want.
Ad: Are you in debt?
DM: No!
Ad: Monthly repayments too high?
DM: I have not got any monthly repayments!
Ad: Then you need blah blah finance.
Let see how many different loan adverts we can think of.
I'll start. Debt free direct.
