Latest McDonald's advert, horrible date rounded off with a McDonald's. Wow. To top it off the useless prick says. "Can I get" when ordering. I don't know. Can you reach it from here? You fking sponge, it's "could I have" or "may I have" What are you teaching the nation advertising executives?

I'm glad I'm not the only one getting wound up by the "Can I get..?" phenomenon.

Don't really know what the advert is for, some holiday company (I keep the remote handy so I can mute the TV the moment it comes on) but the one with the dog barking "Book" several times as it is looking at the computer screen.

If the idea is to make the advert annoying so that whatever product or service they are selling stick in your mind, then it hasn't worked with me.
Yeah, this one has been irritating me a lot lately. Its the "Book" sound effect that really annoys me, its like a really poor quality recording then a mashup between a dog's bark and the word book.

Speaking of poor quality, I saw an ad for some kind of garden product, probably a weed killer, that had a nice shiny video but the voiceover sounded like it was recorded on a knackered tape dictaphone. Awful.

The "Skittlespox" advert.

CONTRACT THE RAINBOW. How is it possible to reduce the various wavelengths of light which comprise the visible spectrum?

Contract the rainbow? What? Do they mean AIDS?

Nationwide. Where the strapline appears to be "Bank with Nationwide. Our employees will find your sentimentally important sweater on the bus."

Also the utterly unconvincing slow robotic way that the gleaming model people clean their teeth whilst attempting to smile.
I do so hate this.

The alternative picture however, closer to the truth, would be showing someone sitting on the toilet with the toothbrush going back and forth faster than the pistons on the flying scotsman, before pausing slightly to unleash a revoltingly moist and echoey discharge into the bowl and retching at the smell.

Either that or someone eating a mouthful of toothpaste stright from the tube before thundering downstairs and out to the car because they got lashed last night, their mouth tastes like effluent and they're late for work

Toothpaste adverts lie, just like washing powder adverts. No idea how trading standards haven't come down on them like a ton of bricks.

MMMmmm. I too am growing a bit tired of that one. I admit when I first saw it, I thought "Aaaahh, that's really nice" by now I wish they would stop running it.

Is there a Brickie in the house? IMHO the brick being laid to form one of the letters in the CHECKATRADE ad actually breaks the 'bond' of the job. Now does my head every time I see it!
