Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up.

I think I've found the website for you all:

This was while searching the internet in vain for anyone that could explain to me what the connection was between Louise Redknapp sitting in the garden and shaving your legs.

I dont even know who the advert for is for... but it's some unconvincing transvestite pretending to be an air hostess
there so to be no relevence as to why its a trannie and not an actual woman
my only thought is that its the owner of the company living out his fantasy to be a woman on tv

I was about to post the same, FailFX

I thought it was Omega loans. Still, 49.9% APR(typical) sound slike a bargain.

It is, I noticed an advert in a window of "The Money Shop" advertising a loan with 3375% APR just this afternoon.

Not that I want to get into an argument about a loans company but it is Amigo loans with good old Derek Griffiths narrating.

[Bullett]

I heard it this morning and it could go either way, but Amigo makes sense based on the product.

Pretty awful advertising if people are not sure what the company address is!


P.S. I just googled both and interestingly when I typed in Omega google did the "did you mean Amigo" must be quite common.

Very good. That's very close to what I think when I see the advert.

This. Who the F is that non-entity supposed to be? Yo!

He is the star of a TV programme which is widely, and critically regarded to be one of the best of all time and which has won 10 Emmy awards, 2 golden globes and holds a Guiness world record for the most highly rated TV show in history.

I've been meaning to get around to Breaking Bad but this has put me off a little bit. Is he as annoying in that as he is in this ad?

I'm up to season (spit) four of Breaking Bad and although his character speaks in the white urban gangsta wannabe stylee (yo! bh!) don't let it put you off. It is a stonking bit of work. If I had the time I'd sit and watch the rest of it in one sitting.

Agree with the above. Don't let this advert put you off Breaking Bad. It's one of the best TV series I've watched in a long time. The cast are superb.

One of those jumping on the bandwagon .co.uk companies that made their name to fit their URL because that's all that was available at the time. Music Magpie, but they take DVD, clothes, electronic gadgets. So not really just music, like the name suggests. That's enough to make my teeth itch without being subjected to the adverts.

I discovered this evening how Carol Smilie's career has wavered somewhat as she appears to have turned her hand to the Finish doorstep challenge, and the associated "scientist in the studio" adverts.

And yet you're happy with the fact that DVD originally stood for "Digital Video Disc" but then they realised that it could store more than video and so backronymed it to "Digital Versatile Disc"? Or that Amazon started out as an online bookstore before diversifying?

The new Citreon C1 advert where a guy drives around what would appear to be an almost empty car park. He then spots two cars with a gap between them just big enough for the C1 to park, so he parks there and then squeezes himself out from the car.

ahole.

Hate when folk do that to me at the supermarket.

Yes!, first time I saw this I thought. What a .

Hopefully this highlights to the morons who do this that it's ridiculous.

[tfin]

The direct line ones are really starting to get on my tits. They've used the same ridiculous song and boring format for about 4 years. They also seem to be on pretty much every ad break on the digital channels. Thank god for the mute button.

Except the guy in the advert who is so annoying all the time.

But they were never called Amazon Books, it's always been Amazon. If the above diversify they should be called Magpie, but that's taken

The new VW Polo advert, suggesting that by owning one of these cars your passengers will no longer be terrified of your bad driving because the car has lots of safety features.

I took it as saying that the new polo is that boring, your passengers will simply fall asleep by merely being inside it

I saw this advert for the first time last night and I have to concur; it's a truly awful advert. If your passengers are doing any of those things it generally means you're a bad driver.

The most piss boiling advert in recent history.

So I see the ASA have banned the Jaguar "Villians" advert for promoting "bad driving" can anyone explain the difference between the Jag and the Polo adverts? For me this Polo ad blatantly suggests that if you drive like a twunt you will all be OK.
( I guess they dont give a toss about more vulnerable road user groups )
