TV adverts that make your blood boil?
Treating myself to a laze on the couch with the laptop and cheesy chat shows after a trip to the dentist this morning, it's all my head can take at the mo....
If my napper wasn't pounding enough, I hear this **** as he appears on my screen...
'I said you buy one, you get one free'
**** off ya *****!
On the other hand, I particularly enjoy watching the Kronenbourg bubbles advert
Any others you fancy adding to the blacklist?

If they annoy the hell out of you and you can't get them out of your head then apparantly the advertiser has succeeded.Personally I think the other way
As to mine....'PC World' aaaaaaargh

I would like to know where pics on the wall (with the red in )came from on the DFS advert - would look quite good in my dining room !
Think the blonde of the DFS advert with the bob cut and grey top flashing a bit of cleavage is quite cute !

Any advert for female beauty products where they use made up names like "ceramide-r" or quote useless statistics like "70% more shine". And rather than call something a "cream", it's a "creme" or a "serum"
I like to call them "cvnts"

How about that f*cking Oatibix one thats been the same for 18 months? As for the made up names how about that bio yoghurt one with 'active regularis'. What a load of sh*te!

One day all advertisers will wake up to the fact that I make space in my home for a television so that I can be entertained, and occasionally informed. Being irritated or annoyed doesn't feature. So, the last ad I actually remember is the 'chain reaction' one that Honda did - entertaining and quite beautiful to watch, so I actually did watch it. Full marks to Honda (see, I even remembered what the ad was for!), 1 or 2 out of 10 in most other cases. Minus points for anything intended to be 'catchy' or to stick in my head.
There are many things I don't like having grabbed; my hair, my b*llocks and my attention are three of them. Listen up, ad men - get this into your thick skulls and one day you might sell me something

Women.
Also, ads that are plainly dubbed.
And the one that used to really really wind me up is the one for the Air freshner with the chinese kids and overtly caucasian Mum.
I mean you would think, that the quickest way to convey to your Mother that you have run out of of Air freshener and the bathroom stinks of **** would be to say "Mum, we have run out of Air Freshener, oh and the bathroom stinks of ****" when she asks you whats wrong?
But no. Apparantly anyone who does that is a massive spaz, because patently the most effective and efficient way is to actually draw a picture representing an empty Air Freshner on some toilet paper and then slide it under the door. What a ****ing idiot I have been all these year thinking the quickest and easiet wasy to communicate was through speech, when really I should be communicating my ideas and thoughts in work meeting through the medium of dance.

Said once said it a thousand times any ******* Halifax advert with Howard, wouldn't **** on the man if he was on fire unless I could **** petrol
On the other hand the Persil advert where the robot turns into a boy I thought was rather good

Nothing makes my blood boil, and like Spoon and Andy I'll take preemptive action.
There are a few that really turn me off a particular product or service, though.
I have a particular dislike of some manky wee runt toddler posing in his or her new elasticated extreme sports nappy, though. Jeesus - If you are old enough to need an "extreme sports" elasticated nappy then you are old enough to have stipped pissing in your pants.....
Anything from Halifax/BOS. They are an embarassment to anyone's intelligence to be honest.

Also.
Adverts that make obviously false claims.
That the LG ad for its new touch phone for example. It says it has a "magic" touch area...
Right, no, it's not ****ing magic, its a ****ing touch sensitive screen probabaly powered by electrical current sensor. I am willing to bet my entire lifes savings and that of my entire family that the technology behind the screen is not based on ****ing "magic".
It then goes on to say that I can control my "Calls, pictures, calendar anything I can imagine....."
Really? anything I can imagine? So with this phone I will be able to control, say, the second (sic) coming of Jesus will I. Maybe I'll just start it off easy and control roatation of the Earth and speed it up during work days...

Anything with Billy "I shout everything!" Mays is rather annoying, along with "Vince" who does the Shamwow adverts. You might be lucky as I'm not sure if any of Billy's adverts are shown outside North America.
