More irritating ads....
 

A couple of questions regarding current TV ads.....

1. Should I contact Social Services about the busy mum who gives her baby the dog's dinner, and vice versa, when the phone rings?

2. Is there a more annoying dipstick on TV than the bloke who thinks the man ringing him offering him cheap motor insurance is really his mate Steve winding him up?

Any more?

The bookies add, think its Ladbrokes, where this Italian bloke runs about like a lunatic screaming he's won because the scores 2-1 after 15 minutes, the irritating little sod

and that stupid guy in las vegas that saved a bit of money on his credit card

How long has the 'mockny' pronunciation of calls been in acceptable use in the English language?

All the so called 'communication companies seem to use it, for free text and 'carws'...

To have our spiffing broadband with free landline & free 'carws' at the weekend...

The thing that gives all these irritating voice-overs away is when it comes to giving their own number out, the man or woman suddenly revert to the proper pronunciation,

"then CALL us on"...

I don't find this poor use of a pretended, overfriendly, 'cor blimey mate we is all as fick as a plank but great mates innit? Attitude from large companies to my purse strings attractive or tempting in any way.

'Go Compare' and 'Confused.com' have me diving for the remote to mute them.

I recently watched a commercial which I actually enjoyed !
No screeching - no loud music - just visual delights.

Very nice Margaret, but must be a tad wishful thinking :D

The mis-sold PPI adverts get on my wick.

Re: More irritating ads....
 

You and me alike Michael, if you've been mis-sold PPI you can claim it yourself without giving these sharks 30%

One ad in particular is Injury Lawyers for you, you know where these people are telling you they are lawyers, mind you it didn't help when they used to front their ad with a chap purporting to be a lawyer, who was last seen portraying a bent copper on the Bill, tends to confuse people a little really, thank good they've got shut, the ads are now just a tad more feasible

Re: More irritating ads....
 

Yes those two really get on my wick, and the ones from the Corrie sponsors are just as bad - those two women are the most irritating on the box, wouldn't encourage me to buy anything. If I were that bloke I would have strangled them long go.

The Cartier was wonderful, rather have the leopard than the bling though!

Whilst webrowsing this topic I found this site, don't open if you can't tolerate strong language ;)
Gillette | AdTurds - Adverts That Are

Does anyone know who that screaming woman is in the confused.com ad is?
The website says her name is Cara - Cara who?
I would gladly use up half a day sending her and her agent bad reviews.

Re: More irritating ads....
 

Thanks for a great read Margaret, brought to mind several more ads I really despise - the horrible patronising Barclays ones, the Halifax choir, the Morethan - why should a fake american moviestar give me confidence in insurance?, Boots Here come the girls, and M&S some of the time though I do like looking at their food ones...

Thank goodness I don't watch ITV/ Channel 4 very often...

Re: More irritating ads....
 

Thank god for Sky + susie, 5 minutes of ads in 15 seconds:D

Re: More irritating ads....
 

The ad that's making me laugh at the moment is the BT Broadband Ad, with the students, renting a room from the nerd, the lass ask where the nearest internet cafe is and the nerd tells her about hot spots, takes her to this cafe, and she logs on, "didn't know you were good at finding a girls hot spot she says, oh yes he says I have them all stored on my phone" girls eyes raise to the ceiling:rolleyes::D

Re: More irritating ads....
 

The Boots Here Come The Girls, Direct Line, the Meerkats, Go Compare, most of them really.... I've recently succumbed and had Sky installed, I'm really enjoying recording and fast forwarding the adverts!

Re: More irritating ads....
 

I'm waiting for somebody to come up with a recorder that actually skips adverts:D

The technology already exists, but they won't use it.

It's more likely this incident that got them to review their choice of actor.

There was one on the other day, and I only watched it to see if Billy Murray was still the front man. Anyway, I'm sure at the end, one of the people walking across the shot walked into one of the other actors...

Re: More irritating ads....
 

Ya Mr Murray ain't a very good ad if he's whacking his wife and daughter when he's brams and list;)

Re: More irritating ads....
 

I knew someone once who turned off the telly when the adverts came on just to save on electricity. And yes, he was from Yorkshire.

Re: More irritating ads....
 

most certainly !!!!

1/4 part because I can't stand opera 3/4 part because gocompare is, well, the most annoying coagulation of sound from the past few years or so-- I think last thing that annoyed me this much was that stupid crazy frog

Do they really have to animate those cartoon boobies? a friend is always commenting on those adverts ''look at them jiggle" etc

Are the jiggling breasts of cartoon characters actually going to help sell car/home insurance ? to those lonely guys out there?

Not irritating just yet, but could become so. :)

Mind you, with England's record at staying in a competition, it could all blow over rather quickly. :s_aim1:

Re: More irritating ads....
 

:rofl38:@ the bit where he turns the dial to "English summer"

Re: More irritating ads....
 

It looks like Go Compare have run out of money they're now screening ads they showed right at the beginning of their campaign

Re: More irritating ads....
 

Still sad that there are only seven Red Arrows at the end... :(

Re: More irritating ads....
 

I do find the Argos adverts with the blue coloured family of aliens quite amusing, however, the latest one where the male has taken on the role of becoming the breeding gender and gives birth to baby blue alien slightly disturbing.

I know it's tongue in cheek ... is it me ? :rolleyes:

Re: More irritating ads....
 

nah your ginger :D:D:D:D

Re: More irritating ads....
