What about the latest Auris ad where the bloke is stuck in a traffic jam in India and then starts singing along to 'Horse with no name' in a really weird voice - makes my teeth itch.
thank god it's just not me. i cannot bear to look at his smug face, he looks really weird, i think his mouth is too big or his chin sticks out loads. either way, the person who conceived the advert and the person who cast him need new jobs.
eIf you Google 'Auris advert' there's the opportunity to comment on the ad. It's getting a pasting

Not a TV ad, but the radio ad for the new Ford Focus, where the dad puts a sign up on the lawn.
Nothing wrong with that bit, it's the "little girl's"voice - which is clearly a older woman doing an impression. Dunno why it makes me so angry.
I think it's the one I ended up shouting at the radio because if her extremely irritating voice the result being I couldn't hear the rest of it!Nothing wrong with that bit, it's the "little girl's"voice - which is clearly a older woman doing an impression. Dunno why it makes me so angry.
It's worse than the similar advert where a "child" is asking how long 60mins is.

I thought the same, the background to the song is quite interesting. John F Kennedy realised Americans were heading for obesity nirvana.

Yes - very interesting background.http://youtube.com/watch?v=YZCHJd0JjpU
I knew the singer was Robert Preston (he had a very distinctive voice). And it sounded like it came straight out of the musical "The Music Man" (which also starred Preston). As it happened, it wasn't from that musical - but it was written by the same chap - Meredith Wilson. They were obviously making use of the huge popularity of that musical at that time.
And agreed - it is a highly annoying song.

h!) 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.Escort3500 said:

The latest Colgate ad where the kids are brushing their teeth with invisible toothpaste.
All of them are fairly maddening now - who knew there were so many different bloody types of toothpaste.A new one, I nominate the Burger King advert with the guy offering the shop assistants a free burger and then joyfulling exclaiming after the guy bites into it, how their meat "just kissed".
Ok then.
This vamarama advert: http://youtu.be/SODOsa7P-g8
I hate all of it. The bit I particularly hate is near the start with the bloke "whaaaa am I gonna dwoooo."
How about repeatedly closing the van door on your skull you hick sounding.

. The absolutely infuriating woman in the Nokia Lumia 630 television advert makes me want to punch the TV.
The one where she is on some sort of street market and says "My style matters to me".

However lets talk about the new Kellogg's corporate advert.
All the features needed for an advert in last four years, all present and correct.
1.) Ukulele being played very slowly - check.
2.) Young girl singing in a breathy voice - check.
3.) Child like imagery - a pop up book - check.
Look at us, we're not corporate at all. We look on the whole world like a child, we care. What a lovely voice you have, just like my daughter. Now sing another song for daddy, while he strokes your hair.
Toads pile of vomit - check.
Electric land rover advert with the bloke with one leg. Not a bad advert, but on all the bloody time and with irritating music which sounds like it is 1995 again and realplayer is buffering a second at a time.
I think I've moaned about this before, but any kind of foot 'shaving' or fungal nail infection product.
Once again, those putrid 'honestly' MS adverts which are seemingly on every ad break.
Honestly, your product is ste that's why nobody is buying it. Honestly, I work in a MS dominated environment and I have only ever seen one of your stty phones and that person did not like it. Honestly, I have never seen one in use by the general public. Honestly, nobody wants them, nobody likes you or your adverts, you fked up Windows badly. Honestly, sort it out or fk off, don't bombard me with the ste in the hope nobody notices and buys it anyway. Honestly
