Even though everyone hates all these adverts, you're still doing exactly what they want you to do. They make them annoying for a reason...

Edit for hypocrite warning -

I can`t stand the new Renault advert that says -
"You always said you would never cut your hair" and then the man gets his hair cut. Then it says -
"You always said you would never drive a Renault" then you see him driving a Renault.
It seems to imply once you hit 40 you become a boring old fart.

On a happier note I would like to see the sloth creatures come back for the Specsavers ad.

True. I guess so long as people talk about them then eventually they get the desired effect, the brand/name etc gets tattooed into your head blah blah

My wife won't let me go to Iceland because of these fking adverts. She's scared Katona might fancy me as a snack between stuffing herself full of pizza and prawns eek

'Hi Denise'
'I thought you were going away for christmas?'

As if...something that fit would even talk to that little cumstain runt


and worst still is
'no one listens when baby Miles crys'

I know it's advertising a worthy cause but have these twonks any adea of the impact this has on my five year old daughter..I found her in floods of tears the other day worrying her little heart out....
'it's not real it's acting'
'But they still make him cry Daddy'

sometimes you are lost for words banghead

I cant beleive no-one has mentioned those bloody EDF adverts. The ones which start off with the kids singing about 'its not easy being green' as though they are kermit the frog with ever key cliche concerning 'carbon footprints' and 'climate change' being mentioned.

Though not quite as bad as Confused.com, the Compare-the-market.com advert still makes me tear my ears off.

It's the end jingle.

"Compare the market, DOT.COM!"

I won't let my wife go to Iceland because:

1) I am not a pikey
2) I enjoy food. The ste out of the freezer at Iceland doesn't count.


As for Kerry Katona - I would.

The mcdonalds one where the couple take there son to ask for his first "blah blah burger"

And the somerfield one where the middle aged couple are shopping, he looks just how id describe a rapist.

Id pay extra money not to have adverts on the tv.

The CERCO IT training adverts.

Irritating, and at best hopelessly optimistic, at worse damn right lies.

That burger was, without a doubt, the WORST burger I have has the misfortune to eat.

I think all in all, this thread goes to prove that Sky+ is a wonderful invention when you use in such a way that you never have to watch adverts again.

But then, despite legitimately purchasing the DVD, you have to put up with that sodding you wouldn't steal a car/handbag/cow/movie/hot dog advert.... which you cant skip and cant fast forward.
