Adverts that really MACK you off

[Colossal Squid]

I got TOLD OFF for using a RUDE WORD in my other thread on the subject. So here is a new one in which I haven't used the word f*** in the title.

So what adverts on the telybox, or maybe even the radio, are winding you up something chronic right now?

I am getting irritated IMMENSELY by the annoying "Here Come the Girls" Boots adverts which are on ALL THE TIME and seem to suggest you have to be a woman to shop in Boots, despite the number of MAN-SPECIFIC products they sell as well as things like SANDWICHES which you can't really claim belong to either sex.

All the Iceland adverts that say how great their food is, if it was that higher quality they wouldn't be able to sell 50 burgers for a quid, or what ever else they sell

 

[wunt be druv]

Every advert on the Radio as they are repeated over and over again and I have vowed never to use any of the products advertised because the advert has bored me shitless.My biggest hatred is for that f***ing "Spamalot" thing they insist on churning out at the Amex.

 

[Colossal Squid]

I don't listen to commercial radio so I manage to avoid those irritating brain invading bastards. Thankfully.

I'll tell you what else I hate, those stupid Capital FM radio adverts on the telly hat have all kinds of pop stars (I presume, I don't actually recognise any of them) spitting out soundbites about how important to the music business radio is. BOLLOCKS IT IS.

Cant wait to go and see Spamalot.

The Ladbrokes one with the old italian guy shouting a lot. I always lunge for the mute button at the first sign.

Good call. Is he meant to be somebody famous? He's on all their shop window displays too and I can't work out why

Tiziano Crudelli - He's an Italian commentator apparently. Makes sense!

One of the benefits of being deaf is that as soon as an advert comes on, I simply turn away and it becomes a background noise. If I am fast, I don't always see the product in question.

Seconded. The people on the adverts might look happy, but why do I always see greasy haired, frowning, fat slobs coming in and out of Iceland stores? They can't be happy, shirley?

In Italy it might make sense. Why the f*** are we meant to know him?

And lo and behold the ad has just come up at the top of NSC now

The Go compare adverts by a country mile! Will never use them purely because of the fact their adverts are so annoying! Always mute or change channels when they're on.

I disagree. The Triple Chicken MANWICH is definitely gender-specific.

He has a album out

I think that is sometimes the point. They make adverts either funny or really annoying but either way the result is you remember the brand or product these greedheads are trying to flog. I find the swiftcover car insurance ads (the noisy American guy shouting ''have you seen my documents'') on Absolute Radio mildly irritating. NOt sure if is played much now though

 

[Johnny Crumplin Football]

The voiceovers for Autoglass ''staff'' also seem to imply that they are all retards too.

You mean Iggy Pop? One of the worst sell outs ever.

While I am here....

I hate the following ads...

M&S
Boots
Iceland
Go Compare
Meerkats
The bank one in the radio station
Natwest
