Worst/Most Annoying TV Adverts.

For me it's those ****ing Microsoft adverts, you know those ones where they set up a shop in some poor unsuspecting sod's home to shame them into buying a new computer. As if they're saying "******** here thinks her current pc is 'ok', WELL IT'S NOT, BUY A NEW ONE OR YOU WON'T BE UP TO DATE AND YOU'LL BE REJECTED AS A MEMBER OF THE HUMAN RACE YOU BITCH!"

It's not just creepy, it's insidious. There is no attempt to conceal the fact that all microsoft care about is selling you **** you don't need and it seriously makes me consider living in a cave hunting stray bear grylls' with a sharpened stick as a possible life style option.

If I ever come home to find a microsoft store set up in my living room I'll poke the ***** eyes out with a usb cable and shut them in a laptop.

So which adverts make your blood curdle?
 
Not on the TV but I have to turn off Absolute Radio when those sodding Autoglass ads come on. Their voices go right through me.
 
Without doubt the opera singing **** doing the go compare ads .. funny once when he was only a tenor but now nerve shreddingly rage inducing

Any of the accident claims ones, pathetic .. i saw the latest InjuryLawyers4U one earlier (so professional they use text talk) where one of the lawyers falls down some steps which is pretty funny but "an accident" who she'd sue for being a clumsy bimbo is anybodies guess

Autoglass
The ipod (if you dont have an ipod you dont have an ipod)
Anyone where David Mitchell does the voiceover (which seems to be every ad on radio).
Any advert where they use a range of regional accents or use a cockney accent for a builder.
Those ****ing halifax ads.
Im such and such a **** and windows 7 was my idea.
 
"They gave me the wrong ladder" WTF is that all about , you are meant to be the tradesman FFS.
 
Some are spot on but I hate most adverts.

Compare the Meerkat - first ad was genius, then the business lost sight of what it was trying to sell - ie: Insurance and/or a URL that sells insurance. They finally appear to be remembering that and throwing in a free cuddly meerkat when you take out a policy. CompareTheMerkin.com would be a far better idea anyway!! Just checked the register but the URL's gone!! :stunned:

Go Compare. Like it or loathe it, the ad is inspired and successful. A bit of a grower (although, I'm on a roll now and thinking abitofagrowler.com could be worth a shot!)

InjuryLawyers4U. As Cricko and others have said, watch where you're ****ing going you ******!!!

PayDayLoans and their kind. Borrow now and save 25%. By 'save 25%' we mean, we'll reduce the interest rate from 2,458% per hour to 2,433% per hour. Whatever happens, be one day late on your £7.50 payday loan and we'll own your *** forever.

Then there's those friggin' adds that say stuff like "Every item in store is UP TO 50% off". What's that supposed to mean? Just one item in store at 50% off the ridiculously stupid price you had it up for one month ago in some hidden store up in Skegness and then anything else qualifies as UP TO 50% off. Do your ****ing job Advertising Standards Authority.

The Clear Winner is....








Webuyanycar... well not mine you ****ing didn't you **** taking bunch of legalised ****ing criminals. Not only do they offer a ridiculously low amount in the first place, I've heard they then turn up and barter you down because your version of "quite good" doesn't match theirs. *****.

Anyway, it's "Fair Deal" not ****ing "Furr Teal"!!!! Tee ****ing hee. ****s.
 
The Magners "Bee Beard" ones, hate them. Make me feel very squeamish. Also the Churchill one where he's at the fair and takes the sausage out of the little girl's hot dog, possibly the worst bit of child acting ever! Obviously the Go Compare ones (although I quite like the Confused.com ones) and Injury Lawyers 4 U are dross of the highest order.
 
Gotta agree with both Blueblood and OBL although to be honest these days I either sky+ programmes and skip through the adverts or I disappear for a crafty one or to boil the kettle
 
Not so much annoying, but the ads for the magazine where if you are lucky you can build a full scale model of the Victory over 130 editions at 7 quid a throw. That'sthe best part of 1000 quid when you can by the Airfix version for a tenner. :nope:
 
Also, if you're getting your car insurance based on an advertising campaign headed by a talking meerkat, you probably shouldn't be driving a car.
