Annoying Adverts 2015

[gosub]

I'm pretty sure the issue is with books as status symbols or ways to declare superiority. At least I hope so anyway.

Books are jewels after all (this was beaten into my psyche so hard I am now incapable of throwing books away without feeling guilty, thanks mum)

As misguided as those who fetishize a collection they've no intention of reading are, at it's core is still a reverence for knowledge and opinion.
The fuckers that need shooting are them that buy books by the yard, glue them together and use them as interior design (a few pubs I've been in)

"She'll log in with her smile".

NO!

 

[gosub]

"She'll log in with her smile".

NO!

Made me try and use the feature, though. It would nt turn on. Probably coz I'm over 40

The O2 Be Like a Dog campaign is catist ! I don't want for cats to be like dogs, I like cats just the way they are. Don't they alienate cat lovers ?

 

[trabuquera]

maybe I have too low an opinion of people in general but the latest dodge in the wording on adverts for payday lenders is making me angry, not just annoyed. Do they really think that saying their interest rate is "one five oh seven APR" really hook in folk too thick or innumerate or uneducated about finance to realise it means more than ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED per cent per annum? or is it just that it sounds gentler? either way it makes me and

Great that fucking annoying Brian the gimpy robot Is back on our screens. When is this creepy horrid squeaky ugly twat going to fuck off.... It scares my daughter when the ad is on. I had one of these toys and took GREAT pleasure of running it over with my car before setting fire to it in the back garden. Also IT is an IT not a him. Fuck off now Brian you wobbly cheap tin can, get recycled into something useful..

 

[Ted Striker]

Terry fucking Henry and his 'best league in the world' bollocks with CGI that is less realistic than the Thunderbirds tv show.

Fuck off!

Curious, thought the whole toy thing was about pester power to sell insurance

If it was, then they'd be giving away the baby-bot characters, as they are quite cute, unlike Brian!

Yep. The assumption that dogs are better than cats is stupid and annoying. Piss off, O2.

(Extra annoying cos Julian Barratt does the voiceover and I love him.)

 

[Artaxerxes]

"She'll log in with her smile".

NO!

And then after an unfortunate accident leaves her scarred and bandaged she'll lose access to her documents and virtually her entire life, thus plunging her further into a spiral of depression.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Those fucking Meerkats and Schwarzenegger, united at last.

Jesus... why? Does Arnie not have enough cash already?

I think that's a looky-likey.
Either that or surgery has changed his face.
Both of which are possible.....

 

[Mrs Miggins]

"She'll log in with her smile".

NO!

That is an odd looking baby as well....

 

[xes]

Anyone seen the scientology advert on c 4 ?

 

[madad]

My hatred for Brian the stinking robot is now at an all time high ITS upset my daughter (again) now can't get her back to sleep.... If I ever see robocock Brian I will botnap it and throw it off a cliff....and hope its screams....

'schwepps. Seperating the women from the girls'

fuck off you sub schlouer cunts. Theres nothing especially grown up about your drinks and nobody uses them except as mixers for their alcohol. Twats. And stop with the gender targetted advertising for a soft fucking drink you shithouse mugs.

 

[Dr. Furface]

Terry fucking Henry and his 'best league in the world' bollocks with CGI that is less realistic than the Thunderbirds tv show.

Fuck off!

I don't think it's supposed to be realistic or fool anyone, but I share your irritation with it.

Everything about that commercial is hateful. And they show it in the cinema so you can't mute the thing.

Also shown in the cinema is the deeply annoying "there's a beer for that" commercial that's full of normal people but just makes me think of hipsters enjoying craft ales. Furthermore, Picturehouse cinemas show this gut wrenchingly twee promo featuring a pop up cinema in a dingy hall that's so dust filled that you wonder how no one in the film ends up with a lung infection. The soundtrack for this promo, all full of plinky-plonky music and distorted vocals, is exceptionally vile.

 

[vogonity]

The commercial featuring the CGI'd model looking like Audrey Hepburn advertising... christ, I've forgotten what it advertises! How effective. Anyway, it gives me the creeps.

Taunting you, given the fact that you aren't allowed to drink a beer in the cinema. Not that this has ever stopped me. But the principle.

I think we have a winner. Even in the puke-inducing world of perfume ads, this still stands tall.....

Me too, for a million reasons but the top 3 are ...

1) classic movies shouldn't just be robotically reanimated and twisted into new plotlines for ads and the colorisation/animatronics are shite.

2) Audrey Hepburn was a well known anorexic so using her image to flog mildly cocoa-flavoured British "chocolate" product is double wrong.

3) the ad encourages ASBO-worthy behaviour and being selfish. Impatient with your bus journey? Just jump off, steal the driver's hat, plonk it on top of some young man who's eyeing you up, treat the new guy as an unpaid chauffeur, sit in the back so he can't even gawp at you or feel you up and don't even give him a single square of your horrible chocolate. if you tried this shit in real life you'd end up assaulted and/or arrested within minutes, even in Italy ffs!

You mean you don't play the piano naked and slathered in perfume? You're missing out

I did take some piano lessons at school, but dropped out before the stripping off stage.

Zoobedoo Zoobedoo etc FUCK OFF

Annoying Tiny Dancer advert for John Lewis

 

[Espresso]

That ad for the Health Lottery with Anthea Turner in it, wearing The Stig's cast off catsuit. That is what's currently annoying me most in the world of adverts.
No one could be as happy as she's letting on to be. If she was any more gleeful, she'd explode.

i quite like that, but one of a number where a kid can't have been paid enough to make up for all the times its going to be dragged out for the rest of their life.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I think I just heard the voice of St Jarvis of Cocker on a Sainsbury's advert
