Talking Annoying Advert Anomalies

In the Muller Ice advert a bloke is chasing a budgie around the room, except when the camera shot cuts to another angle the budgie has clearly changed sex (as is clearly visible by the colour of its cere).

Sloppy, very sloppy!

Agreed, but the one that STILL gets my goat is the ultra-annoying Norwich Union "quote me happy" series, where people get quotes by telling them it's a people carrier and with 3 year's no claims, or it's green and has 4 doors!!!

To anyone who has ever filled in a proposal form, rung a real life insurance company, or gone online to try and get a quote, this must surely rank as the most annoying ad of all time!


Total sh*te.

The one that annoys me is the 'Zovirax' ad, where the girl doesn't take her black helmet off, even in the swimming pool.
What annoys me is the sound from the Honda Blackbird she's riding. It's most definitely NOT a 4 cyl Jap bike bike. I reckon they've used the sound from an old classic British twin cylinder.

How about the "More > Than" adverts?

I'm a tw@t who lets my dog crash my people carrier, knock over my BBQ setting my shed on fire etc. No problem, it's all insured, **** it - someone else will pay for my stupidity. Why have any common sense at all when you have insurance.

Same as the "can you pin the fault of your accident on someone else?" adverts.
