C'mon then! What adverts make you want to hurl a brick through the telly?
For me its a throw up between two.
That Bonus Cash Builder Plus "Infomercial" With Carol Fookin Smiley. You know the one where there in front of a studio audience and everybody is telling you to join now and get a free gift.
But the absolute worst is Ocean Finance. God it pisses me off. Something chronic.

Adverts for Alliance & Leicester loans - the bloke can't keep his head still.

Clairol Herbal Essences - "I've got the Urge" - Can't get the f***ing lyrics out of my head for a day when I've seen it.

Anything with Carol Vorderman or that silly cow off Changing Rooms in it.

The 'Shake & Vac' one (old, I know but it still counts) was premier league for buttock-clenching content.

That "do you speak Micra" one

They are trying to pretend that a Nissan Micra is some kind of sophisticated fashion statement, when we all know that they are driven at 15mph everywhere by pensioners. Pi$$es me right off.

UB[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

oh, and "Va Va Voom" WTF is that supposed to be about.

TOP THREAD. I LOVE MOANING

spot on with that aromatic spices ****. the director should have stepped in and knocked that bird into next week for that line.

the boddingtons ad where the bird pretends to drink a pint has me and the missus reaching for the remote to turn it over....it's f*ckin' sick, cringeworthy sh!te. absolutely put me off boddies FOREVER and i mean that.

that disneyland **** where the whole f*ckin family can't sleep cos their 'too excited'.......f*ck off too excited.

thanks for the opportunity to get that off my chest

Some more, after dredging the "quarantined" section of my memory.

Kinder bar advert "You know you want me..."

Ford Fiesta - you haven't got a life if you don't drive one of these, apparently.

All hair-care adverts, "Because I'm worth it", "Maybellend" blah blah blah.

Guinness ones - artistic yes... but why are they always filmed outside of Ireland, as everyone knows, it doesn't travel too well.

Definately agree with the "aromatic spices" one. If that was my missus and I'd cooked her something nice, she'd be wearing it

Cheltemham & Gloucester ads with that little **** swimming around and underwater house and pinching pearls off divers.

If he ever tries it to me he'd better make sure he's wearing harpoon proof swimshorts.

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

tap dancing indeed...

Safestyle - shows how far Cannon & Ball have slumped... Christ Ben Affleck will be doing L'Oreal ads next!
