The Warranty Direct advert that says you could be driving around in a TICKING TIME-BOMB if you don't have a warranty on your car.
Daily Mail style alarmist twaddle.
Strictly for mouthbreathers who cannot budget anything and view holidays and birthdays as fixed liabilities rather than discretionary spend and tax bills as complete surprises rather than something that appears every 12 months.Daily Mail style alarmist twaddle.

I have grown to have a true hatred for the 'Victoria Plumb' adverts. In particular one where they guy is singing in the bath and does a stupid big scream at the end. I want to drown the f
ker. 
Have you noticed that as Victoria Plumb have got more established the woman in the advert has got more attractive and middle class. The first advert they had was some common NOrthern redhead saying something like ' ay up looked at all tha prices and got all me muck from victoria plumb'ker. Has anyone seen the new Belvita breakfast biscuits advert?
This is the US version, but the UK version is exactly the same but with an English accent voiceover instead.

Supposed important female spouting pointless sing song lyrics - check.

The trailer for 50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy, it is on EVERY Sky channel EVERY break.
If there are any producers out there looking for funding, I will sell all my worldly belongings and donate to you if you you make a show where the Irish gap-toothed annoying prick from the above-mentioned show gets 3 bullets in his fking irritating face.

Yup. That is one of THE most stupidly worded ads of all time. Not only is there supposed to be such a thing as a caramel shop (must be exciting in there on a slow day), but the girl has a FAVOURITE caramel shop, so there must be more than one in her town. I simply cannot believe that professional ad agencies can come up with this banality AND the client buys into it. Would anyone go out and buy Werthers on the strength of that ad?
I can't stand the way she says "I was 5" in a inflection almost like she was saying "I was robbed " or "surprised" or "overwhelmed" or anything really other than the bald statement of how old she was.
Magnum adverts. That bloody cracking sound they play everytime some bint bites into one.
The patronising way we're told "you're better off at Asda" by some smug self satisfied woman.
Could i also have a radio based one? The small print read out at the end of radio adverts. Recently, in the case of a BMW one the actual small print declaration was longer than the advert. Strewth, can they not just say "terms & conditions apply"!?
Oh, and the 'helpful' "get digital radio in your car" advert. This is phemoninal in teeth grinding for me. The guy helpfully tells us that if we want digital radio in our cars then we should speak to a digital radio specialist. D'uh, do you really think so? Utter, utter,.

I'm not sold on digital radio at all, seeing as I can hardly find a place in my house that gets good reception with the digital radios I have. I can't imagine what driving around is going to be like, trying to get a fix on Classic Rock or whatever. That stupid BBC Digital Radio puppet D-Love is pretty irratating too.. Oh and the Magnum crunch I get that too - why they think it makes the icecream more appealing i don't know, the crunch is louder than a 747 taking off!

The snickers one in the changing room "Dan you`re such a diva when you`re hungry". fk off you gay , and its got Joan Collins in it ffs.
So being gay is a really really bad thing that warrants language like that, is it? k off you gay , and its got Joan Collins in it ffs. Actually, I quite like the advert. It's fairly amusing, although of course like any advert if it's played too often it can become annoying I guess.

The ad itself is a bit dumb, but it does include a lovely Mercedes 300S, and what may be a Fiat coach. Oh, and a good Audrey Hepburn lookalike, although no doubt someone will now say it's CGI.
It's both a model lookalike AND CGI. It was discussed a while ago elsewhere on PH and at the time I said it gave me the creeps. It still does.Does the above-mentioned Galaxy advert make anyone else shout at the telly?
She's got such a smug look on her face, as if to say "I am beautiful hence I can do whatever I like". She grabs the bus drivers' hat which annoys me, i'd be "Haw you ya cow, geez ma hat back" and then she puts it on the guy in the Merc and jumps in the back seat. I'd be saying "The only thing you are getting in the back is pumped, so if you want pumped then stay in the back, otherwise if you want a lift then get your scrawny wee arse in the front seat, otherwise ps off".
Cow.
