View Full Version : The most annoying advert on TV/Radio
natalie H 12-05-2008, 12:50 For me it has to be the Car People adverts, ARGGGGGHH! Just thinking about them makes me cringe...they do funny things to me, I feel like screaming every time they come on :rant::rant::rant:
what is yours?
TheBlueDragon 12-05-2008, 13:08 That guy from confused.com advert, when he tries to pull an inocent face and it just doesnt work, he looks a right idiot
I think the adverts on late-night TV are the worst (although the adverts for local firms which involve LOTS OF SHOUTING are a close second). The worst of the late-night ads is the one that starts "Grab your phone and join arr pardy". Are some people allergic to the letter T?

I can never find anything on a search so your not alone
TheBlueDragon 12-05-2008, 13:15 Yes deffinatly Cillit Bang, it annoys me so much that the whole advert is dubed for some reason
That weird bloke that shouts on the 2 for one one windows advert :rant:
Safestyle I think

I've heard that it's a deliberate take-off of the dubbed foreign adverts, although for what reason I don't know. I don't mind it so much.
The ads that spring to mind are: The recent confused.com (I think it was them) 'You could win a million pounds, just by getting a quote online!', for the sheer smug patronising look on the bloke's face. I would like to hit him with a sledgehammer (and I am a nice, quiet person usually).
Also the latest Gilette ad. How can you get two of the world's GREATEST sports' stars (and Thierry Henry) and put them in such an AWFUL advert? If you're going to fork out the appearance fees for them three, surely you spend more than £20 on the script itself? I swear down it was dreamed up by the Accounts and Finance department.
Special mention to Lenny Henry and whatever cheap motel chain it is. Inane and pathetic. He used to be funny once.
northernboy 12-05-2008, 17:58 I'm sure I overheard a TV ad from the kitchen this afternoon which said "...three steps to get natural looking toenails..." but by the time I got into the room it had finished!
:huh:
Those last night adverts that say text 'whatever' to this number for free single ladies - wtf? :hihi:
Hey dont dis Sheila's Wheels
I usually sing along to it when it comes on :blush: :hihi:
I hate the Churchill's home insurance ads, Oh yes! Oh yes! I do! :rant:

Bull Dog 22-05-2008, 23:45 Halifax Building Society adverts,always mute them when they come on
Fivetide 23-05-2008, 00:57 For some reason the talking head celebrities talking up their Sky+ experiences really gets me at the moment.
