Actimel and the farmer to the tune of 'walk this way'
Awful advert that really doesn't work.
It's not even the original song. It's an ad agency sound booth rip sung by the guy that sings about half the songs in UK ads. Awful advert that really doesn't work.

Another really annoying radio ad is the one for Vauxhall saying that they got an extra £500 off for test driving a car.
It features 2 women - Lou and Bec - who are obviously heavily based on Mel and Sue!!
I can see that Becs,It features 2 women - Lou and Bec - who are obviously heavily based on Mel and Sue!!
I can see that!
As a homeworker, I like to have the telly on in the background to stave off the cabin fever*. Naturally the sort of adverts on daytime TV target the typical audience, which is coffin-dodgers and dole scum. It is over-50s life insurance for the former, and for the latter, it is ambulance chasers, pay-day loans, and other associated financial products for people with piss-poor credit histories.
The one that is really annoying me at the moment is "I have the card of Vanquis" (APR 39.9%)
If you don't watch Jeremy Kyle, and curiosity has the better of you, fill yer boots!

The thing I find the most annoying about this advert, is when the little boy sings:
"I'll be the QUEEN of the land"
As it's overplayed so much now, watching the tele with my 5 year old nephew, he turned to me and quizzed why a boy wanted to be a Queen. I tried to tell little Jonny that some boys want to be girls but being 5, he didn't understand why he wouldn't want to be King.
Seriously? You had a chat about gender identity with a five year old? "I'll be the QUEEN of the land"

Seems an odd thing to be annoyed by but each to their own.

The workplace pensions cuddly monster!
Agree with this one. Which idiot thought that a stupid monster would be a suitable advert for a pension ? I'm sure the ad. agency who cooked that up were handsomely paid, but I doubt it has any impact on people organising a pension.Cupramax said:
The Barclays life skills email address retards, if i see it many more times i think my head may just explode.
Must not repeat x.lemon
I'm disappointed there isn't one about always wiping after having a st, not running with scissors, avoiding poking yourself in the eye with sharp objects and not chewing with your mouth open.Must not repeat x.lemon

"Call me Mr Greenlight",
Er, no, I already have another name for you Corden, it rhymes with "Animating Punt".
That one confused me, I thought at first that it was for Greenlight Insurance. But it is for Confused. And Marc Bolan music, killed in a car accident.Er, no, I already have another name for you Corden, it rhymes with "Animating Punt".
Very clever. Or something.
Virgin with the annoying brats wanging on about how they control the TV and that all adults are stupid. I'm sure someone thought that was funny when they first dreamt it up.
However the part that amused me most is that it features the mid 40's father attending the tween / teen boyband type concert on his own, without his own child, surrounded by numerous children under the age of 18. I'm surprised the professionally offended haven't complained about that bit yet as in real life he'd probably have been accused of being a perv by one of the kids, or the other parents, and been arrested for filming their children.

Dad goes and records a gig for his daughter.
Must have been so hard for her not to go with such awful sniffles.
The thing that annoys me about that ad is that it glorifies and encourages the antisocial, idiotic behaviour of people that go to events and spend their entire time trying to film it on their mobile, rather than actually watching what's happening in front of their own eyes, even if it means blocking other peoples views Dad goes and records a gig for his daughter.
