Least favorite commercials

[Reply #120 on:]

BT adverts.

Either confusing
or annoying. Normally involve the IQ mentality Fred mentioned (yep, normally the bloke aswell). Most of the time they make no sense. All of the time put me off using BT services.

Still though those compensation adverts annoy me the most. They make it out like £8,000 was donated to the 'victim' (usually because of their own stupidity) because of the terrible mental anguish he/she went through. The fact is that money had to come from somewhere, and it comes from the 'criminal' or his/her insurance which is payed for by YOU - THE PERSON WATCHING THIS FUCKING AD.

I think we're all forgetting the horrible horror of that Pepsi Girl, who, lucky has been taken off tv here in the States. Worst thing ever-when they would show those stupid commericals right before movies would start in the theater. AGGH!

[Reply #122 on:]

That reminds me. Does anyone else get those "Friendship is important" commericals in front of the movie in theaters? You know, the one with the fat little Asian kid sitting on a bench, watching all the other kids play baseball. Then, this kid like 3 yrs. older comes up to him and they walk off hand-in-hand?

The narrator: "Be a friend!"

Adverts about loans and life insurance piss me off

[Reply #124 on:]

Go Yaffa!

[Reply #125 on:]

Yaffa! You can build towers out of Yaffa! Goooo YAFFA!

Oh, and is anyone else getting really sick and tired of those new "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" commericals they show every commerical break on CN?

[Reply #126 on:]

Yep Cartoon Network does have a huge problem of over exposing their new shows, with in a month it should die down and there will be a whole bunch of new ads for another show.   

I find it much funnier the children bible song adds they show at 12 at night during TV-14 Anime...

You know I notice a thin red line running through all of these:  little kids.  Litte kids suck.

I agree. Espicially that little fool dancing around on that zoom zoom ad. I mean, what the bloody hell has that got to do with anything?

[Reply #128 on:]

They have now banned the Pot Noodle advert. And the Carlsberg one with the woman who spills the drink on the floor and her man cleans it up.

They are misleading. BT anytime is not anytime. Anytime also implies all the time. This is not the case, it is only 16 out of 24 hours you can use it.

I also hate that car advert with the song
'I'm sticking with you, 'cause i'm made out of glue' ect. Everyone is singing that to annoy everyone else!

Also, check out the sig!

Yes! He rocked. He showed us all that dogs love trucks.

"I could walk five- hun-dred miles,
And I could walk five- hun-dred more"

Oh it's just too awful!!!

Also, I read about the Carling ad, but why was the Pot Noodle advert banned, Impossible?

[Reply #136 on:]

I hate the one where this woman have an orgasm by a shampo

[Reply #137 on:]

I've got the uuuuurge! She's got the uuuurge for herbal!
yes! Yes! YEEEES!

[Reply #138 on:]

Dude, if they only made a shampoo that made women orgasm.....

How about those commericals that use classic punk/hardcore songs without bothering to learn what the song is actually about?

Ex.
Iggy Pop - Lust for Life
   About a herion addiction and how to overcome it. Originally used in the movie Trainspotting, now for Carinval Cruises.

The Clash - London Calling
   About the working class of England, and the inherent class war involved. Now being used to sell Jaguars. Irony, it 'appens.

[Reply #139 on:]

I hate that Herbal Essence ad. What about that one where they're in the elevator. Yet another crappy, stupid, shitty ad that makes no sense  and pisses me off.

[Reply #140 on:]

The Pot Noodle advert (Hurt me you slag!) was banned 'cause it suggested prostitution (SP?) and the word "slag" was used...

[Reply #141 on:]

No one in their right mind should get turned on by Shampoo -_-
I hate the freakin' ads for sky/digital programmes on normal TV. They're just rubbing it in >_<

[Reply #142 on:]

And the Carlsberg ones were banned as they were suggesting oral sex!

These days I don't see as many Sky or digital adverts, although I used to see the "Hey Monkey..." ones with Johnny Vegas a lot.

[Reply #143 on:]

It's like the CBBC channel ones (no.....I don't watch it 6^_^)
Those poor kids, seeing all those programmes on the other channel.

[Reply #144 on:]

I don't like the "Sneak" ad

Girl go running in the park, repeating the ghossip faster and faster and faster till she explored. Stupid

[Reply #145 on:]

Impulse: free your arms

hate it were woman rather not save thier fellas because of their armpits not fresh.

whats more inportant your boyfriends or your armpits?

[Reply #146 on:]

Boyfriends come and go, but armpits are with you your whole life!

[Reply #147 on:]

Yeah well Danny is my whole life and I make sure he never be in danger

[Reply #148 on:]

Well it's easy to say that when you have naturally fresh smelling arm pits. What about people like me and Kryten?

[Reply #149 on:]

You guys use Links right?

Yeah I have a brief memory of that... why did they get rid of the Poodle in your Pot Noodle   

Also the oral sex ad is defiately for Carling. The Carlsberg ad is where the old woman locks the Carlsberg trucker in the cellar because he is helping the export of the Danes favourite lager.

Also since when has one of these helped protect against BO 
PS. Yes I do use Lynx.

[Reply #151 on:]

One of my friends gets Sneak, and everytime she does I say "Is that the magazine that makes you explode pink goo?" 

[Reply #152 on:]

"Who gives you ex-tra?? Who, Who Who Who????"
For a bank or loan co. or some crap.
There's nothing worse than a one hit wonder in a commercial, lasting longer than the actual hit lasted in the charts.

Charmin toilet paper with an animated grizzly bear reading newspapers etc.

A Specsavers ad with 2 Sloths (extremely lazy tree crawlers) talking about contact lenses!!
There's so much wrong with that ad.
1st, sloths don't wear contact lenses, if they did they'd be too lazy and wear glasses instead, BAH!!
2nd, sloths can't talk, especially in a stupid accent like that, and it's not even attempting to be funny.

[Reply #153 on:]

I can do a great impression of Sloth #2.

Those "Who gives you extra?" advert can be annoying at times. One advert I am starting to dislike is the BT one with the phone which sings "Karma karma karma chameleon..."

[Reply #154 on:]

no I like that one. I think that phone is brill

[Reply #155 on:]

That Halifax guy JUST CANNOT DANCE!  Hasn't HALIFAX got these people on some bizarre contract whereby they don't get paid for the adverts?  They just publicly humiliate their employees for free.

Anyways.  My Worse ad: Yes Car Credit.

The one which went "We only say 'YES' to nice people" - RIGHT!  I can see them tacking this little adendum onto their Credit Agreement:

"Have you recently cheated on your wife?"
"Are you a thief or a liar?"
"Have you jilted your partner at the alter?"

I'm sorry sir, you can't have this car - you're not very nice.

Best Ad: Peter Kay as Olympic Diver in John Smiths Ad, "THE RUNNING BOMB".

Love it.

[Reply #156 on:]

I love/hate that commercial with that old bald guy, advertising his educational CD-ROM thingies, teaching people how to use Windows.

If you can't figure out how to use windows, you'd have to be 100 years old, and also brain damaged. And even then, you wouldn't know how to work the CD drive in the first place. But hey, the first CD is free, so why the hell not.

[Reply #157 on:]

Haha! "Because I believe in this so much, I'll give it to you free! Just pay $1,000.57 shipping & Handeling..."
