Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up.

[Conian]

It's not so much the adverts that annoy me, but the concept of what they're pushing...

The Vanish tip exchange, a website where (it seems mostly) women upload tips on how to remove different stains from different materials...

EXCEPT THAT EVERY TIP IS THE fkING SAME!

I noticed that too!

Tip 1 said:

"Help, I've got some red wine on my shirt"

"Easy, just buy some of our stain removal stuff, rub it on, leave it, then put it in the washing machine"

Tip 2 said:

"Help, I've managed to get myself covered in mess from our weekly goat sacrifice"

"Easy, just buy some of our stain removal stuff, rub it on, leave it, then put it in the washing machine"

Tip 3 said:

"Help, My Husband's shirt has lipstick all over it from the hussy down at number 22, as I'm always online looking at the same sodding "tip" to remove stains"

"Easy, just buy some of our stain removal stuff, rub it on, leave it, then put it in the washing machine"

The Sainsburys one with the spineless dad making apple slices and yoghurt lollies makes me want to shake him and say get a grip. The kids are playing football in the garden, let them have crisps if they want!

Also the Kinder one with the child and the poorly teddy makes me want to poke my eyes out

+2 but its more the fact that none of his kids mates are ever going to come round again as they get st snacks after playing outside. Add to the fact its so pretentious and fay upper middle class.

The mechanic at the end of the ad with airgun, I'm pretty sure was in Band of Brothers but I can't remember as who.

Looks like Colin Carmichael who's in loads of adverts. He's one of the 118 118 runners as well.

[ChemicalChaos]

The pounds to pocket "ideas for a pounds to pocket advert" advert

Also, not an annoying ad, but the new Vauxhall Mokka one - "dont blend in with the crowd" ...in which case, don't buy a generic bland mpv pseudo soft roader!!!

I've *still* yet to find an advert I loathe more than Apple's "Parenting" advert.

Is that the one with the fking annoying kids and families and the fking stty music that is currently on every fking ad break on every fking channel and seemed to be the only fking advert that fking Eurosport currently have?

Yup. Annoying guitary music starting "we're living the life of dreams" followed by the blood-curdling scream of a mithering infant. I can't reach for for mute button quickly enough. Utterly loathesome advert.

In which case hanging's too good for him.

[droopsnoot]

The overly-long and dramatic trailer for "Glue" on E4. Irony with the two horses in the ad, perhaps, but it always comes on just when I'm thinking that surely we've had enough adverts for this break and perhaps we might get back to the show I was watching.

The damn meerkats again, this time going to Africa to tell Oleg about his ancestry, and also referring to the "Stripey Pyjama Horse"

Time for a new spin on it. How about "Kentucky Fried Meerkat"? "Meerkat Kiev"? Have a break, have a meerkat.

Small rant - Phones4U.
The delorean can only transverse time, not space.
So they should end up back in the phone shop, rather than Hollywood.

No - crisps are poisonous to children. I once just looked at a packet of salt and vinegar, and now I am 23 stone

rj1986 - do you mean traverse? Or transcend?

Unless they are using rules where when traveling in time the machine doesn't get held in place so 'travels' as well. I can't think who wrote that damn book though.

I do indeed mean traverse - i'm going to blame lack of coffee, and the fact I'm horrible at spelling.
