Tena Lady - for light bladder weakness ! Better than nylon incontinence pants with elasticated legs I suppose - remember the newspaper ads for those ?
And whats with alcohol adverts these days ? Anything from a bottle of wine to Baileys has a little note at the bottom of the screen advising me to drink in moderation ? WTF ? I don't need some poxy advert to tell me how much I can or can't drink ? Are they saying I can't hold my beer ?
Persuade me to buy a product, but then tell me not to have too much of it ??? Or are they relying on people to get annoyed being told what to do, and then to rebel and go and get sh1tfaced, thus increasing profits ? Hah, that'll teach 'em !
I can't work it out, I'm off down the pub where I shall mostly be drinking more than a moderate amount !

Another vote for "aromatic spices" - if it was me I would tip her meal in the bin and smack her on the face with the back of the frying pan. Annoying bint.
Also agree with the pikey loans/claims direct style nonsense ads on Sky all day. "Tired of sitting on your **** all day eating pizza? Then take your old employer to court because despite the fact you're shyte and got sacked you can screw them for a couple of grand for pretending to slip over in their foyer"
I'm generally irritated by the "blokes are rubbish, thankfully a woman is around to sort his/the family's life out" genre of ads.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if there was a car ad that said "parking radars are standard so your bird who is **** at parking can actually get this into a space..."? Can't see it happening myself....

Very true - annoying viewers is an easy way to get the product name across.
Shame people have limited budgets, as maybe with a bit more thought (and presumably cost), more adverts could be funnier, like the John Smith, Carlsberg, Carling (worrying trend developing here) ads.

Can't argue with Mr Croney - Elephant - cheap adverts, expensive insurance!

APMSL @ this thread.......an excellent read!
Yet another vote for the annoying 'aromatic spices' biatch. I honestly thought it was just me that hated that sooo much!
Also those 'Quote me happy' adverts take the pi55! Who the hell can get insurance just by saying 'it's a hatchback'!!!!!
Once i've given the blooming muppet on the end of the phone every detail about my life up to that phone call i usually have to give them a description of Japan to tell them exactly where my sodding car came from only to have them get happy while they reel off a quote not too dissimilar to my sodding phone number!!!
Rant over

Actually I like the Ocean Finance, as I'm always interested to see if they've dragged up any new dregs of society.
I particularly like the woman who says "Just give 'em a go, give 'em a go" and the bloke who says "Ocean Finance helped me out, I'm sure they could help you out". Also the youngish bloke who's run up a load of credit card debts is cool. Then to cap it all, there's the smarmy presenter at the end who can't keep his head still when reciting the phone number.
Class.
PS: "The whole thing was just very professional..."
PPS: Also v.annoyed by the "aromatic spices" woman. I know someone like that, too...

Linda '****in' Barker - AAARRRGGHHH! I hate those adverts, it's change channel time as soon as I get a hint of
"I like them , I think you will too!"
IMO the other bird in the Curry's ad is better looking than LB anyway!
Wish that bloody dog 'Lucky' would just get run over.
But my utter, utter hatred is for that stoopid, vomit-ridden Direct Line couple. I hate 'em! 'Overblown jestures my ****, I'll give you an overblown jesture starting with me showing you the finger!'
Top thread btw!

This is one of the funniest threads I've read in a while: how do people come up with some of the comments on here?
Please leave off the girl from the Yes Car Credit ads though: I rate her!:
"Quote me happy" gets my lad's vote. He's coming uo to his test, so he was having a look at insurance sites on the net, and couldn't get over what they wanted to know b4 they'd quote.
When he saw that daft ad, I thought he was gonna go ballistic!
BTW: if you watch ads, this is interesting.
Make a note every time you see one that demeans, puts down, or otherwise makes blokes look silly.
Likewise make a note for ones doing the same for women.
Anyone like to guess which one there's most of???

THREE FOOKING WORDS !
ZZOOM ZZOOM ZZZZOOOOMM
Yeah Yeah Yeah, that winds me up (Yeah Zoom Zoom Zoom), arghh would never buy a f*ckin Mazda based on that.
What is that thing on the Safestyle ads ?, regional mullet wearing strange bloke, bring back Reg Holdsworth I say and impale them on the same spike.
SOFA COMPANY ADS, Argghhhh, usually a bit of thigh shown to get the attention but other than that, risible.
'Come to DFS, nothing down and nothing for three years and then weve got you for ever, muhahahahahahahahahah', thick first time buyers beware, you dont need a three grand leather suite to impress your mates, it just makes you look like a thick first time buyer that has sold his soul to DFS, SCS, Sofa Company etc etc
Dog Food diddly dum adverts with a West Highland Terrier cocking its head in a cute way, little ****bags, cute, maybe, evil definitely.
PC World, stamping down on price my ****, last years graphics cards at tommorows prices, should be renamed 'Computers for Fools'
Tescos, Shoot the old Bag who used to be in Fawlty Towers, not funny unless they show her buying her Tenalady.
Sainsburys, step away from the chirpy cockney chef bloke, not even remotely funny, I bought some Jamie Oliver Steak and the lying *******s, it was made from Cow Meat, Beef, not a single ounce of the pukka F*kka in the packet, I was wondering how that would scale up nationally and just thought it was cos it was so expensive, not it was just mildly rotten Beef, I was expecting Jules next but after this dissapointment I dont think it will happen, now Worall Thompson, he would feed the world.
Thos Comfort adverts with the cloth people, the boyfreind and girlfreind, what is Craig David doing on there, on second thoughts ironing him may not be such a bad idea.
That one with the family arguing over bloody frozen Roast Potatos, grrrrrr. Hot potato up the **** for all of them.
Made with Fruit Oils, it makes your hair all shiny with a nice but gormless bird, NO THE GREASE MAKES IT SHINY !
Maybelline, scares me, sounds like the voice from the telly in Poltergeist.
Vauxhall Vectra, its a phenomenen, no its not .
Halifax Adverts, Howard, enough, the fat bird or the fat bloke doing who let the dogs out, stoppppppp.
Mentioned before about the Pearl diving kid, very annoying

J4CKO, superb mate, wetting myself !
That Direct Line couple REALLY get on my pecs. She's the smarmy cow who's just passed her banking exams, and he's the gormless unemployed sociology graduate - AS IF !!
So - he can get the last drip out of the petrol pump, wash his own car, ring round a few insurance companies for the best quote, and then buy his bird a bunch of flowers with the £1.50 he has saved. Marvellous !
TIT !

Can someone post the animated .gif of the El Paso ad that was doing the rounds a few months back?
The one where he's sprinkling arsenic into the food and when she says "I'll call you tommorrow, if I'm still alive" he's thinking "not bloody likely..."
