TV adverts that are real turn-offs.

[Capricorn]

There are some ads on TV that make me squirm :

1. Yakult - when the camera takes us right down the alimentary canal. Ugh
2. British Heart Foundation- with a heart glugging away.
3. Any catfood ad showing juicy meat? -when I am having a meal.
4. Those toilet cleaner ones with all the green slimy bugs.

What are others pet hates?

I love the badly dubbed euro adverts. They are so unashamedly corner cutting.

Loan consolidation ones are pretty horrific.

Capricorn, the Yakult one is pretty foul.

For my tuppence, Mazda ads. Stupid, banal, infuriating.

[POSTIGER]

Esure. I'd love to punch Michael Winner in the face.......he really deserves it.


To be honest, there are very few ads that don't annoy me!

[Kinoulton]

Agree that ads with babies should be restricted to some sort of baby channel where people find that s*** appealing.

Ads about music CDs drive me nuts. They always claim that this is THE sensational album of the year, which EVERYONE is talking about. So why the desparate advertising campaign then?

Internet price comparison site adverts. I have dreams of taking whoever is responsible for them out into the middle of nowhere with a table leg studded with nine-inch nails and explaining in trenchant terms just how annoying they are. "This'll make you confused dot com" - SMASH - "Compare this" - SMUSH - "I always check on disproportionate fury-driven violencemarket dot com" SPLAT.

[Kinoulton]

I think the bar was set very low indeed with "Quote me happy".

Surely nothing could be as cringe-worthy as that stupid phrase.

Mind you BJ, although she was throwing up all day as she filmed it, the Shake & Vac girl was damned fit!

[Kinoulton]

Hence the carpet burns.

[DCat]

I thought that was Gate?

I find the new Cadbury one a bit creepy. All those eyebrows doing unnatural things.....

[Kinoulton]

Reminds me of the Not The Nine O'Clock News parody of the Flake advert.

Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate,
misses your mouth and makes a mess on the floor.

[Ben the Tiger]

I can't remember the name of it but it is that really cheesy one where the pigeons fly to the man with his computer it is the mst ridiculously cheesay advert I think I have ever seen! I am sure there are loads more but I can't remember them, anyway for the amount of television that I watch and adverts I see there isn't enough room on the forum for all the adverts I hate.

[Suz]

I can't stand that advert with four woman having lunch and then talking about poop - because thats what normal people do!
With Dcat on the werid eyebrow advert.
That stupid one for car insurance with Iggy Pop.
The radio advert for stopping smoking with the child 'i'm not scared of ...' it is the most annoying voice ever.
Any advert with 'the perfect gift for valentine days'

[Gate]

I can't stand that advert with four woman having lunch and then talking about poop - because thats what normal people do!

That one is top of my "Someone pick up my jaw off the floor" list. I mean, I know it can't be easy to find a funky viral way of advertising stool softeners, but a badly dubbed advert where the original Dutch or German probably translated as "Good Jaysus, I've just done myself bad. Like podding a wine box it was." I mean, really.

[Suz]

Okay so Im watching the TV and am thinking any perfurm advert!
Those ones for fabric softener that are infused with the scent of white dimonds. - Can someone please tell be what dimonds smell of?!

Tenalady, Imodium and a brat sitting on the toilet when I'm eating my tea.
