Most annoying TV Ad?
« on January 29, 2013, 10:39:13 pm by River Don »
For me it was the Go Compare opera singer. Then they figured out how tedious it was and have tried to make fun of it.

The Confused dot com disco anthems are annoying too.

But now, it has to be those Bet Victor Ads with a bearded, Paul Kaye behaving like a Coke addled gambling addict. Just weird.

I do understand, all these ads work, I can remember the companies and their products. I'm unlikely to ever use them though.

The creators of the Go Compare Ad campaign have played a blinder.

The only adverts i find annoying are the pay day loan companies (about 5 of the b*stards advertise on tv! They make it sound like they are doing you a favour.

The sheer quantity of pay day loan and online gambling ads should really be of more concern I think.

Never mind the TV ads, what about the hoarding at the KM advertising Hale solicitors?  Rather than just saying "Hale solicitors, tel xxxxx xxxxxxxx" they say "Call Hale for Bail".  What does that say about Doncaster folk????

Bloody wonga.com. Crap puppets, obviously young voices trying to sound old and failing, crap scripts and bloody saturation on telly. Ugh.

The old Butlins ones...............I thought that was Toot and Ploot?

Toot and Ploot are back again,
and they've brought there little one Bloot,
naughty bloot, won't stay in bed,
so the singer get's the boot,
have a great time at Butlins


.......something like that anyway.

Here's another traditional holiday ad

Couldn't agree more on the BetVictor ads. Something really strange there

Also agree on the state of the nation re all the gambling ads and all the money loan ads. Sums it up really.

How un-convincing are all those money lending ads. All the men or women or couples agonising over the phone or internet wondering if they will be borrowed £100 until pay day, and then watch the look of joy on their faces and cuddling up to each other, now that everything is alright. All these folk have chuffing detached houses, nice cars, plush furnishings, nice clothes, look well to do middle class types. Reality and likely?.....I think not.

Now show me a man on a mobile phone in scruffy shell suit bottoms tucked into his mucky white socks and an old battered fake black leather jacket, stood on the corner of a shitty terraced street, in a rough arse town, in the dark and pissing down with rain, his bird is sat on the nearby park bench with a pram in tow and 2 other kids playing on the swings. Then I will see the logic and reality of it all

Best one was Mike's Carpets, with that woman asking Steve Adams if she could get felt.

Most annoying ones are French car adverts. All style and no substance. All scrotum and no ballacks. Some gamine young woman (who doubtless bangs like a shithouse door in ' wind, but still...) winsomely swooning over a car doing a tango. But no information on basics. Like what it costs. Or how fast it goes. Or whether the piece of tin foil it calls a f**king cylinder head will blow outside the NEC when you're caning it up the M42 on the way to the first home match under Ryan's regime in August 98 so you spend the evening on some f**king Brummie hard shoulder while 4,700 other folk witness the re-birth of the Phoenix.

bas**rds.

Bloody WWF...first they get me to adopt a Snow Leopard and now they're wanting me to adopt a Tiger but without any indication of whether it will get on OK with the Snow Leopard that's currently stalking the back garden mightily pissed off that all the snow's melted.

Last thing I want is fur flying in a Snow Leopard v Tiger WWF Showdown.

You really have got to be smoking something really exotic to take on a loan at 1748% APR...and more !

For me, nothing beats that knob with the fake Spanish/Italian? accent who does the Ladbrokes ad with Chris Kamara. Worst advert ever.

The Meerkats is annoying and the new one with the bloke with the dressing gown and ginger hair promises to be worse if anything.

Don't care for the payday loans ones or the "Ambulance Chasers 4 U" ads but that's more to do with what they advertise than the adverts themselves.

For those of you with kids that get made to watch chanels like Nick Jr for 99% of your tv viewing time.  You will know that below is the most annoying advert of all time.

For those of you that haven't seen it, at first you'll find it funny, maybe even a little bit clever.

Then imagine it advertised every time that a program finishes on that channel
