Got to be that brain dead woman on the Old El Paso advert, the one one the phone making pathetic comments to her mate about her boyfirends cooking

''Did you get that?... Aromatic spices... yeah!"

Classic viewing... I like that add!

Cant remember if its sainsburys or tesco,but any adverts with that woman who used to play Basil Faultys missus,christ she annoys the hell out of me!!

One one eight.... one one eight.... :lol:

That Lombard Direct guy gets on my nerves, but mainly because that advert is always on the various Sky TV channels.

Don't like any advert on tv. always use the mute button.

that couple from the direct line car insurance ad... you know, the really smug cow and her moronic bufoon of a boyfriend...

Seems a lot of adverts are showing smug cows with moronic boyfriends. C'mon guys! Let's stand up for our masculinity and bring back sexist ads - like wonderbra!

I have to agree with Jon that the El Paso ad is the worst. That woman sounds like such a fat Northern trollop. I know it's an advert, but doesn't her boyfried have any class or taste at all?

It's that annoying cartoon representation of an annoying Halifax clerk which really gets me. The human rendition was bad enough.

118 118 totally. i think we've got it now.

I agree totally, this was the first ad I thought of upon seeing this thread.

Have you noticed her accent is THE accent for "advert woman" to have? It's the same as the smug one on the phone while her partner makes aromatic spices.

The accent belongs to annoying girls with upper middle class backgrounds from East Lancashire... I think.

Yeah, and why are the guys in adverts so oppressed by the girls? Maybe because the GUYS who make up the majority of marketing teams observe that it sells! IMO

When the adverts come on I change channel.

Agree with Max, has to be that annoying git from those Halifax adds!!! Honestly if I ever meet him I'll slap him silly! :evil:

I agree with ALL of the above - and many others.
I wonder what the mentality of these overpaid ad-makers is.
What about that annoying 'man' (especially his voice) in the recent one advertising a new TV magazine?

i like the 118118 adverts!

lombard direct phone annoys the hell out of me.

it should be nuked from orbit just to make sure

What about the 'Mrs DOYLE'inland revenue adverts for self assessment tax forms a couple of years back? GO ON, GO ON, GO ON GO ON GO ON. They were *really* annoying.

i could have sworn it was Mrs Doyle from father ted ;)

Good point RPG. I never watched either so I guessed wrong. Either way though, a truly annoying advert.

Most annoying Ads have to be the plethora of Loans adverts >.<

"What's that you say? Saddled up with debit? Can't make your repayments? Well don't worry, because with one easy call to XXXXX we can replace all your debits with one low monthly payment (for the next 40 years) and all it will cost you is the value of your loan (and some 10+% APR) and your HOME if you miss even one penny of the repayment plan" :)

Great aren't they?

On the other hand, I've seen some good advertising recently too.

I like the McCaines oven chips advert that starts with a single leaf landing on a railway track followed promptly by "DELAY" - to the tune Smile :) That advert always makes me smile hehe.

The other I haven't seen on TV yet. Go to http://www.the-eviltwin.co.uk click on View Highlights, and clip one. You may want to zoom in a bit before you start playing it, and make sure you have the sound on ehehehehehe.

I gotta agree with the El Paso one here. Maybe her boyfriend is so smug (or under the thumb as the case may be!) because he knows he will be getting his Taco later in the night! :lol:

1Man&HisBMW

There's the bloke who sticks his head through a couple's car window while they're waiting at traffic lights to tell them how they can claim compensation for an accident.

If anyone did that to me, they'd be the ones having the accident :evil:

Whats the most annoying advert ?

One of the worst offenders has to be Currys with that interior designer who has just been given a years extention to her contract...

Asda with its roll backs is becoming annoying too. And as for McDonalds with Chris Eubank and the cleaning advert - I'm not lovin' it !!!

The Mcdonalds ad gets my vote!Anyway just because the place is clean doesn't mean to say the food is nice!

And will someone snip Linda Barkers head on the currys ads please:D

Not a fan of Jamie Oliver aswell so i'll add the Sainsbury ads in.

:thumbsup: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2873&highlight=Most+annoying+advert ;)

Ok, after reading that we should post "any adverts that don't annoy us"

I hate that advert for some accident claims company where the sales bloke is hooked up to a lie detector and this woman is like constantly at him with stupid questions like "do I get 100% of the compo?", at first I didn't get it, I just thought it was her being one of those annoying bossy women who never shut up, then dad told me the sales bloke was plugged into a lie detector.

I still hate the advert though, cos the woman is ugly as sin and never shuts up with the constant barrage of questions, not giving the guy a chance to answer 1 question before she's off with another, then another, etc etc.

The McDonalds / Chris Eubank ad' really annoyed me tonight when I saw it.

You can imagine the ad' agencies creative team at work...

"Ive got it, the new killer slogan.... Come to McDonalds...It's very clean"

:D :D :D

Little Chef must be quaking.

The businessman-on-a-tightrope abhorrence, for some debt consolidation firm.

Or the one that fills me with rage and hatred, The Jade Goody Dance/Fitness Video ad.

Or anything on local commercial radio. Cheap, cheap, nasty and cheap.

I saw that McD's advert last night and I remember saying to someone online......who the hell let Chris Eubank get into TV??? Extremely annoying and just wrong!

The other series that do my head in (apart from Grolsh adverts which just aren't funny anymore) are the Michael Winner 'calm down dear' E-sure TV and Radio adverts. They should at least come with a health warning. Do not operate heavy machinery when in listening and/or viewing distance.

calm down dear.


:)

Anything with Lindaaaa Baaaaaarkerrrrr in it. She drives me up the wall!

The current favourite is "Why are you waiting" one...

It's like you've just invited a crowd of protestors into your living room... :loopy:

The constant stream of DFS type sales ones and those damn 'consolidate all your debts' adverts.... the folk always look dodgy on those.

Danny Baker-Daz challenge

Nobody said it had yo be current

Dont watch telly that much/at all/ever

The FACT advert with market trader selling pirate films

Anything to do with hair products

I used to like the SMASH adverts back in the day as they say... y'know, the advert for mashed potato in a packet, starring those robots, hmmm... going back a few years that one, heh.

Anyone remember the jingle? For mash get Smash!

What about Michael Winner? "Calm down dear!"

Yep all of the above, Halifax, Prunella Scales (tesco ad), 118, Michael Winner (I'll give HIM [censored] calm down dear) and the new McDonalds Ads.

Although even though we're talking about quality here it's the quantity of adverts that get me these days. I like to watch some of the Sky channels on occasion and the advert blocks seem to last for over 10 minutes. It's so damn annoying and I end up channel hopping inbetween because I can't be bothered to wait. Quit it!!!

That little boy who pinches his nose as he sits on the toilet on doing an extra stinky poo get's my goat.

2 words:

Linda
Barker

Curry's, DFS, etc etc

Thats why our remotes keep eating batteries, all that extra work channel flicking to avoid the ads. The music channels are far worst if you ask me.

Danny Baker actually did a Daz door step challange down our road, right here in Sheff. Thank god I was out at work at the time or I may not have been responsible for my actions.

The one that sticks is my mind is for some sort of fever reducing cold forehead pads.

The mum walks into her sons bedroom an says "how's my little soldier?" and the sickliest, brattiest, most disgusting snot nosed child in the whole world squeeks "I'll survive".

I don't quite know why that advert annoys me so much, it just does!

That teaching advert annoys me... the one where the guy wakes up and leaves his head on the pillow..... followed by the courus of "HI HO" "HI HO" then everyone else is headless..... arrrgh I've seen it a million times now.

The one for the loans company, it's so bad I can't remember which company it's for, but it basically goes "that's lower than Barclays... that's lower than Natwest...." etc. etc. It seems to be on every five minutes on some of the Sky channels.

Mazda. Zoom Zoom Zoom...bloody awful.

I just cant believe this ad i've just seen on ITV2 tonight . . .
Men with erection problems ! whatever next.

well I suppose its a change from womans sanity towel and women with weak bladder ads.

Anyone seen the new Coke ad with the woman walking along and singing ? It's kind of cool now but if overplayed could become annoying :P

The all singing, all dancing, Switch/Maestro Penguins!

GIMMIE THE GUN NOW ! ! !

:evil: :evil:

Womans sanity towel?

Yes, it's from the makers of Tampons. Basically when a woman feels slightly insanse, she sticks this new towel across her forehead and everything becomes clear and relaxed again.

I guess you must have missed the ad for that one Jack ;)

Errr, strangely this advert and product exists, I can't remember the name of the product, but the ad has me shouting at the screen "what the heck's wrong with a cold flannel?"

Come on, help me out - what's it called?

Deffo has to be the chinese kid on the bog ,holding nose and sniffing yuueeecchh

oh and anything with whiney Linda Barker

"I love horses, they're my friends!

I can't stand the "hello moto" ad you get when films are on. :x

Best ad at moment is the Mini ad where the naked couple in the car slap the naked pedestrian around the head with a fish! Excellent! :lol:

But at least you remember the ad, so it works!

Maybe the bad ad's are the one's we remember so much... that the campaigns are actually good!

..."I love horses, the best of all the animals"

It's not just TV ads that annoy me!

I was listening to the radio this morning and the window and door ads really get me going, that's why I try to listen to radio2 as much as I can:thumbsup:

I agree with the guy on the first page who singled out the solicitors add where the bloke is hooked up to a polygraph machine and the sour-faced woman harranges him with daft questions about a hypothetical claim for compensation.

I may be anal, but for one thing I'm sure that a polygraph machine would read something even when you're not fibbing as I understood that it monitored heart-rate, pulse, etc. To have a flat line as the add suggests the man would have to be dead or not hooked up to it.

Secondly, the fact that the guy gets up from the desk, walks to the door and then sarcasticly comments that the male interviewer has a nice tie results in a spazmodic reaction which I assume is supposed to indicate that he's lying for the first time...but he's not even hooked up to the machine any more!!!

The Yakult 'friendly bacteria' ad with the dork-ish bacteria obsessed bloke (just look at his eyes - barking) :D
And the 'Quote me happy' insurance ad (have to turn the volume off, put my fingers in my ears and go 'lah lah lah lah I'm not listening...
:D :P

Them loan and insurance ads on Sky...

Purple Loans, Loan Direct, Lombard Direct, Esure, its sister company, and the others... On and on and on...

The IBM adverts do it for me. I work for a company that has outsourced to IBM and know what an incompetent set of twits they are.

So, when

"What's that?"
"Its a blade"
"A blade, what's a blade"
"A server"

I get an almost uncontrollable urge to throw a brick at the telly.

Ahhhh, that feels better

Those "Injury Lawyers 4 U" adverts.

Gah! WTF?! That woman does me nut, all she says is "how much money will I recieve?" and I'm like "You'll get nowt and like it, sod off!".

Esure advert gets on my t**s. With Micheal Winner and "moronic side-kick".

Alex

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! :rant:

You've just crashed into my brand new car... Calm down dear its a commercial... I'm on the telly... hello mum!... etc etc... :roll:


Currys/Admiral/Lovin it! McDonalds... so annoying too

Too many to mention...

Those McDonald's ads are indeed annoying, but not as crappy as teh Burger King adverts IMO.

For me its anything with Linda Barker in or those annoying and very frequent TV Shopping adverts on Sky..

Shop on tv.. its not £40, nooooooooooooo
Not even £30 nooooooooooooooooooo
We've sold hundreds of items for just £1... :wow:

D'OoOoOoOH! :rant:

The most annoying for me is the what I think is a local windows company, the guy keeps saying "buy one you get one free, I SAY you buy one you get one free" "Free fitting also availabllllleeeeee" I cant understand why they would pay to broadcast that rubbish, it must do more harm than good.

They have topped it all now.....Cannon & Ball, perhaps it's a way of keeping boring sad out of work ex-comedians in work.

I am getting sick to the back teeth of mobile phone ringtone adverts on the Sky music channels.

They play the demonstration of the ringtone in the background which sounds like an 8 year old on a little Casio keyboard and then say send TEXT 1 for the mono TEXT 2 for the poly etc.
Order this ringtoneand we will send you this and 15 others at the cost of £3 each!!!!? Who sends off for these things?

Also I listen to Talksport radio at night and the same 5 adverts are played every 12 minutes forever. The main offenders being A.A.P endowment policies, and a 60's album, I know every word to these adverts and all of their phone numbers and it drives me MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new entry.....

The new Kit Kat advert with the noisy bunch of librarians.

I saw it this evening and it drove me up the frigging wall.

Joe

It's not on as much anymore (thankfully), but the advert where a guy is cooking tea for his girlfriend while she's on the phone.

"did you hear that...aromatic spices....I'll call you tomorrow...if I'm still alive" she says in possibly the most annoying accent ever ever ever.

The Bounty kitchen paper ad as well where the world's least convincing cross dressers appear.

And not forgetting the Dorito 'friendchip' friends. Only to be replaced by the even more irritating Vernon Kay. I refuse to buy Doritos purely because of those adverts!

Be interested to know who pulled out Curries or Linda.

Rumour is that Curries deliberately made an annoying ad so that people would remember it, can anyone else think of a more famous advert from the last year? And all the negativity is directed at Linda Barker and not Curries. Off the top of your head can you think of the slogan for Dixons or any other electronic retailer?

My most annoying ad is the new one for a Nokia phone were they are all sat round watching movies on it when the phone rings. not that bad you may say, but the ring tone is the same as mine and i always come running into the room to answer my phone. EVERY TIME! Similar John Cleese advert for a credit card had someone randomly shouting my name in the background a few years ago resulting in similar annoyance.

Adverts that I find annoying right now are the "More Than" insurance, with that mut of a dog Lucky.....

I'll give that dog "Thats more than Lucky" Thats more than damn Irritating

i hate all advert

Price-Drop.tv! Enough said :gag:

All of 'em, they never come on either when you are deperate for the loo or a cup of tea!

THE NEW KIT CAT ADVERT IT IS AWFUL, SO ANNOYING, WHO MADE THESE THINGS UP AND HOW DID ANYONE GO , OH YEAH THAT WILL BE GOOD....

Lombard Direct - What I wouldn't do to that talking phone doesnt bare thinking about.

Closely followed by Carol Vorderman walking towards me with big blue bubbles in mid air following her.( Cant remember what finance company its for)

And who could forget my personal favourite the "Ocean Finance" with their never ending coach sitting halfwitts.

I would rather take my own life than use any of them.

Mine is the windows company with the guy who repeats himeself "buy one get one free" there is a post here with 50 replies on it.

http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6180&highlight=Most+annoying+advert

Commercials are a time to make a cup of tea, and go to the loo; I flick over channels as soon as it says "End of Part One" or as soon as the credits role on the programmes.

The maestro penguin advert sooooooooo annoying and all the day time tv ads!! the worst is *I C S you can* grrrrr and the guy balancing on a tight rope plus the the guy with the parrot think its for a car insurance company ??? dont know but its B A D!!


Are there any good watchable adverts ??? I cant think of any....

I'm sick of those 'Quote Me Happy' ads. What a pathetic slogan.

The new '3' adverts do my box in along with any personal injury ads, Charmin with the irritating 'sisters' but the winner has got to go to the E-Sure ads with Michael Winner!. What a complete wa**er!. I would love to go 3 rounds with him!

Got to be that awful anti digestion advert... for Gaviscon I think. The one where they start dancing in the middle of a roundabout. Makes me want to throw something through the tele everytime it comes on.

It's got to be the "Calm down dear, it's just a commercial" it actually makes me angrier :mad:
I must say tho it's effective..anyone says "calm down" these days and it pops into ur head

I love the "phone meets camera" I think it's the K700i sonyericsson one..it's simple and to the point with a gr8 feel, and the music to it is out of this world..anyone knows who composed it?

the one thats really annoyed me is the one with the copper that at ... killed a man at.... he got involved in drugs and it all started when he became a copper.


its just so annoyin its everywhere!!!!! radio tv digital posters

GRRRR we get the idea already.

The Lemsip adverts that imply that you should be working even when you're really poorly

"you buy one you get one free" i say i say " you buy one...." god someone shoot him. what a T pot

Didn't they invent remote controls so you could change channel at the first sight of an advert? Trouble is I forget to turn back to the programme I was watching.

Awful adverts I wasn't quick enough to avoid include:-

An ear wax clearing solution with big brown blobs of ........ugggh can't even write about it.

"Washing machines last longer with calgon" sung.

I have a nomination for best advert?
The new Citroen C4 advert with the dancing Transformer. I'm lovin it!!

Too right, and its usually on just before tea!!:gag:

This isn't about a bad ad, just an observation, but has anybody else noticed that the Andrex puppy in the one where it gets blamed for wetting the bathroom floor hasn't got a bumhole?

There, that's something for you all to look out for!

Has anyone seen that terrible advert for Stepwise? It has a cartoon fungus called Freddy, that dives under a toenail after prising it up?

There used to be one about fungal nail infection cream, where you saw the back of a sofa with legs flailing, and a woman's voice going 'Errrr Darren! What's all tha' on your feet?'.

Nice.

I hate that smug dorky cow in the Direct Line Ads - her awful pronunciation of 'washing the caaaaaahhh! and 'are you ok? they said you had a crasshhhhhhhh' makes me wanna get hold of her and wring her little thin neck - and I am NOT a violent person!

Another that annoys me is one for Halifax (I think) where all the bally staff are singing to the tune of Rod Stewarts 'Sailing'....ggrrrrr!!!:rant:

I HATE the stupid KFC adverts "If id known those mini fillet burgers were only 99p, id have asked you to buy me one....." this is guarenteed to stay in your head all day now.

I also Hate the "Friendly Bacteria" advert.

Mmmmmm...Denon....?

Actually radio ads are always the most excruciating - there was a truly horrendous one they kept playing on Hallam - it was a Honda 'power of dreams' one, and it was just some guy making screechy car noises for 30 seconds. So annoying~!

I saw an advert for "warming" KY one night, I turned-over before they explained how it warmed you.

Bev? - Kev?

Cannon and Ball... is it for Safestyle Windows? In fact ANY Safestyle ads - particularly the ones with the shouty man in a cloak.

Admiral insurance, with the damn awful parrot with a man stuck to his arrse, that really pees me off!!
sharon osbourne-shopping at asda, yeah right.:gag:
ocean finance loans, all them people on it seem to be nutritionally over challenged, for want of a better description.
(no offence meant or intended before you decide to pummell me into a pulp.)

Think it's a coldseal windows ad where there's a really intense northern guy who looks like a low-rent 'wolf from gladiators', but he's wearing a gold suit and top hat.

Call 0800 106 107 NOW!

Sad thing is, I remember the number. Not totally sure of the company, but I know the number.

Also:
The guy that is walking the tightrope in one of the daytime 'consolidate your loans into one easy monthly payment' adverts enrages me the second I see him.

The advert for the Crazy Frog ringtone does me nut.

Who the hell actually BUYS the fuffing thing anyway?! Imagine being on the bus, someone rings you on the mobile and you get the sound of some retarded amphibian blaring out, WTF?!

Did anyone see the geriatic take off of Eminem's Under the Influence on the Banned Adverts programme the other night? I thought it was hilarious.

It would have been great if Eminem had allowed them to use his song in the advert

For anyone that goes to UGC:

The advert where the man is running down the street after a Toyota shouting, "He's nicked my car..... that's MY car!!" The first time it was funny. The second time it was mildly amusing. The third time? Annoying.

I suppose it says a lot about how much I go to the cinema though.

NO MATTER HOW MANY MUSIC CHAN U TUNED INTO THERE IT WAS ,,,

HO AND ALSO THE SINGING KFC ONE ,,WHAT THAT ALL ABOUT

TIP - adverts run in set time periods. Most are exactly 3 or 4 minutes long. Most video & DVD recorders have a "30 second" skip feature. Record the program and press the skip button 6 or 8 times and you'll never need to watch an advert again. On my DVD recorder I can press the button 8 times rapidly as soon as an ad break begins and within a couple of second the program continues without the mind numbing ads.

I love the new cheesy peas orange phone thingy with that guy...what's his name?.... he does that show called "IQ" ,that advert creases me up, LOL

the most annoying advert is all the ones that advertise morgages on kids channels - what's all that about? I mean, as if your three year old is going to need a fixed rate morgage !!!!

"Soooo Injury Lawyers For You..."

Says she all knowingly all smugly, full of her own inflated self appreciation, defying those young males to do anything less than bow & scrape to her..

For me it's got to be the one for "picture loans" , the one where the woman is videoing her husband applying for a loan and the guy does that annoying thing with the football at the end, and thinks he's had a great conversation with the sales people !!!

For me it is the Coldseal advert with Canon & Ball.
Still using the same lines "He got mi skin" and
"Pick up the piggin phone", about as funny as toothache :rolleyes:

the family in the sitting room singing about the son hair and aslo that woman in the office that sings the word ( noooooo nooooooo nooooo no) for about it feals to me for a hour for the kfc adverts ?????????

never been in since put me right off kfc

For me, it is the Yes car credir woman in the awful green & yellow outfit, oh and the "I've got the right" false people. Admittedly, these are usually on in the afternoons, during the afternoon american film (get your orange bucket out to be sick in at the treacly ending).

You have to admit though... there is something about the yes car credit girl. :help:

Several of those already mentioned I really hate (smug woman and idiot boyfriend in car, KFC)
At the moment though it's the Hellmans ad with the greasy wobbly bloke who dances round to "let's get it on" or something and then has a plate of chips with a big dollop of mayonnaise - makes me feel sick. Has put me right of mayonnaise! :gag:

the sad thing is these lame adverts work really really well (note every1 remebering the webpages and phonenumbers) so unfortunatly these adverts will carry on comming :help:

The weightwatchers ads with the women saying 'I cant believe I was that fat!'. . . . . You STILL ARE FAT!!.:mad: except you're annoying everyone else with it too now!

adverts always annoy me so much!!

that one for phones for you, where theres that really ugly fat kid and the guy shouts "way to go little buddy" and the fat kid laughs..it makes me shudder

Three words: "Calm down dear"!!! HOW IRRITATING!!!!

Incidetally the guy from the Elephant.co.uk adverts died a few years ago. He was called Steve.

"They'd better not cancel football!"

Agreed, that woman in the Injury Lawyers 4 U ad needs shooting, I mean WTF?! I know the point of the ad is that the guy is hooked up to a lie detector but she just won't shut up firing constant questions at him... Do I get 100% of the compo? You get nowt and like it, sod off b*tch!

There is an even worse one than this. A fat, ugly guy with a moutache and a pompous, deep voice. The advert is usually on around midday.

You mean "had an accident at work or on the road? unsure if you have a claim for compensation? NOW - there is no need to worry - personal injury helpline will help you with NOTHING taken from the money you're awarded so for a risk free personal service call the personal injury helpline NOW..."??

Id be worried if he was my PI solicitor!

OMG The fat moustache guy is the worst, i always change the channel when that one comes on and dont put it back on!!!

Halifax man is the pits. I can't stand his stupid face or his stupid voice. And his stupid bank.

The screaching banshi on the Lexus GS ad's!!

I can't BEAR that advert - when it comes on, I'll either change the channel or turn the sound off.

It was the same with the last KFC advert, with the dreadful warbling sub-Mariah Carey singer. Mariah Carey's voice is bad enough, never mind a poor imitation of it.....

Then again though, I wouldn't be caught dead eating at KFC, so maybe the adverts aren't aimed at me :suspect:

StarSparkle

Star,
Do you mean the disgusting one where the women talk with their mouths full of chicken and chips? I wouldn't say that it stirs me to fury [life contains greater problems], but I find it deeply annoying and rather offensive. To be honest, the kind of genetic refuse that live on the vile muck probably behave like that anyway. The advert probably strikes them as perfectly normal, and what one would expect amongst the oafish chip-guzzling, pop- slurping classes. 'Wha..munch, crunch, d'yer, munch, burp, munch..want? Eh? hiccup, burp, munch.. Bargain Bucket? munch, munch... that'll be, hiccup etc'.

That's the one, Timo! You obviously know it well! ;)

PS Actually, the women are singing, I think, but to be honest, I'm more concerned with hastily changing the channel than concentrating on the advert!

Absolutely! The man has the kind of irritating visage one would never tire of 'leathering', to coin an old Sheffield expression.

definately those jamster chickens.....grrr

Resurected this thread for one reason-Martin Kemp in the scs adds:o

I know he has a certain appeal to the ladies but look at his eyes-:wow: That fellar is only a hairs breadth from a nervous breakdown,you mark my words........

Sorry but it has to be that kid on the Disneyland advert where the mum goes in and tells the kids to be quiet then the little girl says "its magical".. The kids voice and face are soooooo annoying..

Sad thing is, I remember the number. Not totally sure of the company, but I know the number.

Also:
The guy that is walking the tightrope in one of the daytime 'consolidate your loans into one easy monthly payment' adverts enrages me the second I see him.

It's Safestyle Windows..

Apparently they've been on Watchdog several times for bad business practices :loopy:

And that bloke who does the ads is clearly Chav scum and is also a tw at.

Definately, that buy one, you get one free bloke dressed up like a town cryer. I just wanna smash the TV every time he comes on. Is it windows or somet?

Also that Howard bloke from the Halifax...... :rant:

The best one is esure.com with Mr. Mouse! He's ace!

The 3 bimbos advertising "Sheilas Wheels":evil: but I do like the one for soap powder that uses the song lyrics.

"be young, be foolish, be happy"

Barry Scott and the Cilit Bang adverts!!!!!!

WHY DOES HE HAVE TO SHOUT ALL THE TIME!!!!

More like "Bang...and Barry has been shot in the face!!"

If you go back to the start of this topic it's her dad not her boyfriend who is making her a meal with Old El Paso aromatic herbs and spices.

My own nomination isn't so much annoying as odd. It's that woman on the ICS who says 'IC yes you can'. It's not really clever but it's a good hook.

Anyone remember Declan Swan from Claims Direct?? What a stupid little git. No wonder they went bust, they must have spent about £47 billion on adverts it was on all the bloody time :loopy: :rant:

All the Christmas adverts are currently doing my head in. Not ready for Christmas yet!

Feel a bit guilty 'bout nominating this ad 'cos I know its done with the best intentions,but......

WTF is the deal with the new FRANK drug awareness adverts:confused: I mean,that annoying little twerp asking everyone what there doing-enough to drive anyone to illegal substances;)

The Picture loans advert without a doubt. Hope he gets struck by lightening at the football.

Ocean Finance adverts.

'For bonza car insurance deals....
Girls get onto Sheila's Wheels'

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :rant:

Lulu in the cholesterol advert gets my vote....what is she on????????

Who answers the phone in the way she does to someone who is supposed to be a doctor?

And, when did she get so good at maths that she can work out that her new cholesterol level is a 15% drop.....yeah right:suspect:

Yep, the 'Sheila's Wheels' adverts are probably the most annoying adverts going at the moment. On every advert break on Living TV (which my wife mostly watches and why I spend most of my time sat at the computer with headphones on) :P

- The BT ad with the dopey bloke who's living with a woman and her kids. The bit where he says "I think they've moved in with me", or something along those lines, as he looks at the beaker of toothbrushes, really grates on my nerves.

- Carol Voderman in ads for loans.

- the bloke in the confused.com ad.

- Not really a character in an advert, but those axa insurance ads that sponser crime dramas like Poirot on ITV3 really annoy me; especially the one with the woman running into the church wedding shouting "I've just got axa insurance!". Stupid, stupid, stupid.

On the other hand, the new Guiness ad is great - the one with evolution in reverse.

Not sure if its already been mentioned... i think its personal injury lawyers for you or something like that (christ ive seen the ad that many times you think id know by now, absolute proof these things dont work) anyways its the one where theyve got a lie detector on the guy and theres a really bad actress in it! Going on about 100% compensation and at the end the lawyer goes 'nice tie' and the lie detector goes off. I really hate that one!

That ad is freaky, read in today's paper that its been pulled due to that amount of complaints about it and talk about bbc ad's being a waste of licence payers money.

Cant stand the KFC ad with the ginger haired family with a million and one screaming kids all hyper cos they're fed on KFC and to top it all the mums up the duff again :gag:

whoever been commissioned to write the KFC ad's this year wants shooting.

So it wasn't just me then. Glad it's been pulled as it was kinda wierd. :D

ITS GOTTA BE
"CALL 0800 106 107 NOW! PICK UP THE PIGGIN' PHONE!"

AND THAT ONE
"0800 00 1066" FROM THE BATTLE OF T**TING HASTINGS

AND OBVIOUSLY DEBT ONES.

ANY1 KNOW ANY FUNNY ADS?:wave:

I feel sorry for that poor old man on the donkey in the malibu ads.He only wants to buy a melon.He sounds like a small child who,s lost their sweeties:cry: :cry:

Just read this thread and there is no mention of the herbal essences woman -

'where are my socks?'

'in the drawer, next to your loin cloth'

ARGHHHHHHH! she is so annoying!

And there was something very wrong about the animated babies in the evian advert....urgh.

That woman who goes out with Steve in Coronation Street, she absolutley does my head in!!!!

totally agree with SHELIAS WHEELS, i can't watch chuffing charmed in peace :(

just about anyone on a car insurance advert!!!!:rant:

Coldseal or Vergo roofs, without a shadow of a doubt!

Holly Valance...

0800 r e v e r s e

I could strangle her I tells ya...

While I'm off work the T.V seems to be on playing to itself and that Sheilas wheels advert is driving me nuts.
Oh, I'm going for a walk...
Whats your most annoying advert.

Mine used to be the car insurance advert which featured Michael Winner. Had to turn the sound off each time it was on as it drove me mad. So glad he'd been replaced by a cartoon mouse. Now it's the McDonalds Monopoly one, with the 'It's a Knockout' guy (can't remember his name) Particulary the bit where he puts his arms up to do a cartwheel and it's so obvioulsy not him!

i don't mind the Sheila's wheels ones. The kangaroo always makes me chuckle, plus Joe Scully from neighbours is in the bar. He's doing well.
I think the mouse thing on the esure ad is more annoying than Winner.

Most annoying advert - the confused.com one. Never seen anyone quite so smarmy as that slimy bloke in the suit.

not the most annoying but v funny

Ade Akinbyi - £1.75 million
Coach to cardiff - £40
Ticket to the play off final - £50
the look on Warnock's face when they don't go up - PRICELESS

the one i hate most is the guiness one with the surfer waiting for the wave it really anoys me

I hate the va va voom advert, thank goodness it's not on as much anymore :rolleyes:

The big fat guy...

Have you had an accident,at work or home. Then call me the big fat mam arhhhhhhhhh

Apparently an agency went to winner to come up with a idea. He came up with the idea and pitched it.

The agency didn’t like it.

The agency dumped Winner

The customer loved it.

Customer dumped agency

Customer hired Winner.

Calm down, it’s only an advertising campaign, pocketed by Winner.

Phil Tuffnel advertising some dodgy loan company is pretty naff - completely unconvincing acting from both him and the loan company "advisor"

"Phil, this lovely couple were paying such a lot of money back every month"
"Did you manage to help them?"
"Yes Phil, we managed to combine all their loans into one crippling monthly payment and took their house off them"
"Great Stuff"

Also the confused.com bloke needs shooting

While I'm off work the T.V seems to be on playing to itself and that Sheilas wheels advert is driving me nuts.
Oh, I'm going for a walk...
Whats your most annoying advert.


yep im gonno have to agree with you here that advert is soooooo annoying ive taken to muting the tv when it comes on

The big fat guy...

Have you had an accident,at work or home. Then call me the big fat mam arhhhhhhhhh

:hihi: I know which one you mean - looks like he ate all the pies.:hihi:

I absolutely detest that "Freederm" advert. It used to come on every single morning at 7.30am during my breakfast. The product is designed to go deep into your pores to treat acne, and the advert consisted of a group of teenagers smiling cheesily and bopping around to the beat of Ultra Nate's "Your Free". Terrible advert, and I hate the song even more now than I did before.
Another equally irritating TV advert was for some babie's cough medicine...the advert was so memorable that I can't even remember the name of the product. But the ad had loads of babies in it all bunged up with colds and coughs, and crying to the tune of "I Hear Thunder". I found this advert particularly repulsive, as yet again it came on during breakfast time, and there's nothing more to put you off your appetite than a load of snotty kids coughing and sniffling and moaning as you eat.
Saying all this, being a Graphic Designer, ads that produce any sort of reaction, be it love it or loathe it, the point is to make the product memorable. It is the same with radio advertising......one radio ad that i CANNOT STAND is the Subway ad, heard on Hallam Fm and Galaxy. There are 2 ads - one has a SCOTTISH father who starts with "we're poor, poor I tell you..." and the ENGLISH daughter explains that 6 inch subways are only £1.99 so then he's like "we're rich, rich I tell you!" IT's SOOOOoooooooo IRRITATING! The other one is a young couple and the woman is giggling saying "I can't" and the man is arguing "you can", the bit advertising the £1.99 6 incher comes on, then the man goes "ru gonna share that with me?" The woman replies, with her mouth full of food, "I can't." RUBBISH! But yet, it's so memorable. I love Subway, and a stupid advert isn't going to put me off the product, but the ads are so terrible that I remember what it is advertising.
But then again, i've just contradicted myself, cos the snotty baby ad is awful but yet I can't remember the name of the product.
I love this thread!!

Look On The Bright Side Wats Ur Fav Advert?

There's already a thread here (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2873)!

The triple velvet ad is freaky where the 'boss' of this company is a baby!

Mod: threads merged

I reakon the "ARGHHHHHHH" does seeeeeearching for car drive you crazy?
(Not as much as you do mate!), The fat "have you been injured" man.
The " I was at work and slipped and badly injured my back" woman, the Lombard Tricity phone (can't stand that voice!) the crazy frog, the Citreon dancing car/robot and the yea, yea, yea yea,yea yea,yea,yea,yea coffee music should all meet up in the same locked room and annoy the hell out of each other! If that doesn't work we should just blow the lot of them up!

Worst by far:- The one with the foul aggressive woman who shouts "Will I get 100% of my compensation" No, cos you're a cow and I don't want anything to do with you, so go forth.

Best one is Airwaves one with little alien.

the one that really used to make me angry was the one for volkswagon golf i think. At a wife swapping party where the big bird picks up the keys and all the blokes go quiet and they all want to do her cause she picks the golf keys.
dont know if it was banned but it should have been. Talk about negative body image. Just cause she aint a size 6 it makes out like no one would fancy her. dont like it. dont like the message. its cultural brainwashing

(oops sorry rant over) :mad:

all the halifax adverts especially the annoying man with big glasses, they bought up the question who do you bank with and I was so embarrassed to admit it was halifax. not anymore though!

All loan and mortgage adverts and crap ringtone adverts really annoy me.

The compenstation/injury claim legal ads especially the ones where the bloke is hooked up to a lie detector.

Bloody hell.... if I see another one of those pathetic excuses for an ad I'm going to spit at the TV in disgust.

And have you seen the latest Norton Finance one... talk about creepy happy smiley people in one room- god help us :)

def gotta be the gold blend ads. its like she doesnt wanna marry the man till she sniffs the coffee,then changes her mind? whats up with that?

The triple velvet ad is freaky where the 'boss' of this company is a baby!

Agreed! cant believe it took 8 pages to be brought up. It proper sicks me off.
Also it is quite clearly a dwarf (or other PC term).

I would also like to ad(d) any adverts for ringtones to the list

Jesus, someone cut the brakes on the car on that Sheilas Wheels ad! I can't stand it any longer! :rant:

I'm also fed up with the ruddy Stella Artois (AKA Wifebeater) ads with whining, faux French music tailending ads on just about every film on C4! :help:

The loan company ad where the bloke is tossing (oooeeerrr) the football about with his missus filming him on a camcorder.

We do that all the time in the real world.

It would be funnier if he juggled the ball, dropped it, but in trying to catch it, nudged her, in such fashion that the camcorder jammed into her face causing copius amounts of blood and pain. Queue claims direct ad.

Jim:thumbsup:


Fave ad of recent had to be Honda Impossible Dream ad all the way through.

The ad for confused.com makes me want to kick the tv in!

And have you seen the latest Norton Finance one... talk about creepy happy smiley people in one room- god help us :)

Hehe, I've just found out that one of the guys in that advert, the one who turns round and smiles at the camera, has just started working at my place and guess what, he is a genuinly nice bloke :o

one of those consolidate your debt ones drives me mad! :rant: hes like going through the house moaning about something and hes going to watch football with his neighbour and his neighbour comes out of the house and just happened to have these debt people on the phone and passes him the phone i mean wtf, as if! that one really annoys me, apart from that its gotta be sheilas wheels especially when they sponsor a programme like csi and it comes on loud when adverts come on. They shouldn't be allowed to have the volume of adverts louder than programmes, it really bothers me...but i do watch too much tv

Rooty Its the music in that football loan ad that gets me...

The ones for the compensation claims lawyers are so annoying, Like the bloody woman on the injury lawyers for you ad :mad: And that fat guy who walks down the corridor and into the office asking if you've had an accident or summat. He looks like he just got out of prison. Surely no'one would trust him: Would they :huh:

Currently it's the ads for CIS insurance at the start of The Bill - the voice over asks "What are you good with?" and a bad ventriloquist replies "co-ockerating", makes me want to scream every time I see it (mind you, the one that pops up half way through the show is almost as bad, where a little girl announces that she is good at "gwowing".... aaaargh!)

I hate any advert that is for debt consolidating or personal injury claims!!!!
i hate the loan,mortgages, insurance and the meaningless adverts where you are sat wondering what the advert was about.
what happened to the babycham, timex, oxo family, murry mint, pepsident,qc quality counts [drink] old spice with the tidel wave, i used to love all these adverts, i thought that they had sense to them and catch tunes. can anyone remember any more ?

I've got the best!!

The Safestyle UK windows ad with the balding bloke who looks a bit like Bill Bailey but who dresses up like a demented Sheriff Of Nottingham who starts knocking down the window frames while shouting.

I turn the TV over everytime when this comes on- does my bloody nut in.

Hehe, I've just found out that one of the guys in that advert, the one who turns round and smiles at the camera, has just started working at my place and guess what, he is a genuinly nice bloke :o

He looks like someone who would suck up to a boss to get a promotion type to me- but hey- you never know.

If the bloke is a genuine nice bloke- good for him!
Get him on here if you can :thumbsup:

I can never remember what adverts are for, especially if it's something i liked, which is a pain :( however...

...AOL adverts drive me insane. Polly or holly or dolly whatever the hell her name is. i saw her in another advert the other day and had to switch the channel just cause i thought of her in that stupid AOL dress. it really winds me up when she pushes the CD draw closed too (they've put a button on the computer for that!!!), but that's just me being pinickity :o

Any shampoo/hair conditioner adverts!

Watch out, here come the science bit...

AHA's, Protensium, Selenium, etc

They're havin' a laugh!!

VEET that woman is so annoying

- the bloke in the confused.com ad.

nuff said

Sensodyne adverts - horrible people. Any "debt consolidation" advert with happy smilie families going on holiday - yeah right - get a loan with us and we'll take your home, car and everything else we can get our hands on. Especially those ads with people sayng how great the loan companies are ,,,pppuuulleeeeeze.

I didn't think anything cuold beat Kerry and her Iceland ads, but something perhaps just has...

frosties 'they're gonna taste great' with that blonde kid who looks old enough to know better.... (and lets face it the whole ad is based on the premise of 'so what if they're not "healthy", they taste nice' - which I suppose is at least more honest than some junk type food adverts). Awful rhyms, awful dances, awful tune, awful product, just... awful.

Anyone seen the ryvita 'goodness' bars advert, what's that about then?

the most annoying tv ad at the moment is the new kellogs frosties ad. "they're gonna taste gre-at" aaarrrrhhhh, that kid needs a punch!

what about the telemarketing advert for that "urine gone"
