The Most Annoying Advert On Tv At The Moment?

Ah, that reminds me: I do like 'Lucky' in the More Th>n insurance ads! I especially like the one where he appears to be driving the runaway car very fast downhill. In fact, I like seeing animals in advertizing - the Andrex puppy is pretty squeezable itself!
 
I switch channels (even if it means getting off the seat to get the remote)every time the drink driving add comes on, the one where the car goes through a garden wall and mows down the kid playing football. I'm not sure if that is only shown in Ireland. I presume not.
 
Have seen some more to annoy me this morning :lol: All those compensation for personal injury ones :angry: Why can't people just accept that accidents happen rather than thinking about who they can screw for cash? More people ought to be taking more responisibility for themselves and their own actions :confused:

Rant over.
 
What about the Actimel ads?? They drive me crazy - the "mum" running around acting like she's on acid - yeah right!

Another brand is Kandoo - that bloody jingle is soo annoying: "I can do it too with Kandoo" - arrgghhh!!
 
Well, I wouldn't know - I can manage quite well with a shower-puff thingy & some shower gel without needing one of those gimmicky things, thanks! ;) :lol:

Errr um - The Kandoo we have is a moistened tissue for wiping your arse. Good for the kids, but even better when you're caught short in a vilely unhygenic toilet on a night out and are forced to leave the toilet in greater haste than might be required. With Kandoo you can finish the job properly when you get home, dried in bits and all. I suppose a shower-puff thingy and shower gel would probably do the job too.

Now how would you get that message across properly in a TV advert?
 
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Mel!!! I was referring to the advert where the kiddie has a kind of mitt impregnated with shower gel I guess - he just has to get it wet and away you go!!

I'm with you on baby wipes - I've got loads! They're great for allsorts - especially taking off make up or a quick cool-down when you're sat in a border queue for 2 hours in 30+ degrees of heat... :confused: I didn't know Kandoo made them to be honest, it's Johnson & Johnson for me!
 
One of the worst is that bloody stupid finance add, may be Ocean I don't know, where for some reason Phil Tuffnell is poking his nose into the financial affairs of random strangers with a call centre girl as his co-conspirator.

Aren't these things meant to be confidential information or something!! But client confidentiality means nothing if a washed up ex-cricketer wants to know what you're buying...

And the Picture ad as well. Oh GOD, why would someone be filming her smug git of a husband whilst he applies for a loan?

Where do they get this rubbish from?!

Surely if Tufnell is involved the word "centre" in that sentence is superfluous.
 
Maybe they've done their research and found most people who watch cricket on Ch4 are middle-aged, middle-class theatre-goers, because this line pops up far too many times in my working day...............

Now here's a little 'wrinkle' I heard about a while back - apparently, if you smooth Preparation H into your facial lines, it smoothes them out! I haven't tried it yet, but if anyone's got some at home, will you give it a go and let me know, please?
 
For all Grange Hill nuts out there (I'm sure there are many), how many of you are aware that the ubiquitous "Kev" of "Kev and Bev" fame is played by the chap who took on the role of the legendary Stewpot Stewart back in the golden days of the show in the early 80s?
 
:confused:

What I really want to know is, what happened to the first Bev in the clapped-out Volvo? Hasn't Kev realized his wife is entirely different - or did the car upgrade include a spouse upgrade as well?
 
Some tarts advert with Cat Deeley in it...shampoo or tampons probably.

The little bill Sainsbury`s car insurance ad.
