Also, the annoying voice of the girl on the Trivago adverts. Note the last letter is an 'o', pronounced 'o'.

Or as she would put it, "Hotels? Trivagey."

This is how a lot of people now speak. It comes from trying to smile the whole time.

"Hellay. How are yee?"

"Gid"

Oh God yes! The dreaded 'E' sounded 'O'. The London Underground, reported by a travel news bimbette is pronounced "The Cheeb"

Cheeb. Oh good God.

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.

I haven't seen it yet, but does it include ...

4.) Has been filmed using a net curtain as a lens filter.

I think this is to create an impression of sunlight. Instead, you get an advert that is too bright, yet whose colours seem all "washed out". Note to ad-men: It looks ste, and we're sick of it.

YES! I am glad its not just me. Other effects to get rid of: Tilt shift, Dutch angle, darkened corners.

OK, its a radio add, but my God it's so annoying...

"One nil to Amigo loans, one nil......"

Makes me rage does this one.

[Morningside]

Talking of which. Anyone else noticed Wonga adverts seem to have vanished?

I thought it was Omega loans. Still, 49.9% APR(typical) sound slike a bargain.

It is, I noticed an advert in a window of "The Money Shop" advertising a loan with 3375% APR just this afternoon.

The new Citreon C1 advert where a guy drives around what would appear to be an almost empty car park. He then spots two cars with a gap between them just big enough for the C1 to park, so he parks there and then squeezes himself out from the car.

ahole.

Hate when folk do that to me at the supermarket.

Barclays "Digital Eagles" advert where some doddery old chap discovers Skype, all thanks to the people who look after his cash.

Banks are not all bds, you see.

[Amirhussain]

I HATE all the money lending adverts, Wonga, quickquid, pounds to pocket should all burn.

When the bank worker's face comes in to view on his laptop screen, she looks really scary.

The cynic in me thinks Barclays is pushing internet use on their non-IT-literate customers so they can shut some more branches.

Any ads for on-line betting - especially any such ads featuring Ray Winston.

Yeah, and all the ads on YouTube that come on before you want to watch your vid, what I don't get about that is, when they give you the option if skipping it in 5 seconds, surely you want to get to the point of the advert straight away?

definitely,all crap...especially the one,Quickquid i think,that shows their R&D people inventing time machines,jet packs etc...spend less on mad scientists and maybe you can charge less than 20000% interest!!

That Planet of the Apes advert just now at half time... I've already submitted my complaint to the ASA

You soft ste, have you tried getting a hobby.

[illmonkey]

As usual, anything on Dave. Specifically Wellbid with the bloke infront of a greenscreen doing crap hand gestures. Or the "mymate" loans, "Who wanted orangutans?", "That was me" whilst thumbing himself with a spastic neck.

fk off the lot of you!

The new VW Polo advert, suggesting that by owning one of these cars your passengers will no longer be terrified of your bad driving because the car has lots of safety features.

I took it as saying that the new polo is that boring, your passengers will simply fall asleep by merely being inside it

I saw this advert for the first time last night and I have to concur; it's a truly awful advert. If your passengers are doing any of those things it generally means you're a bad driver.

The most piss boiling advert in recent history.

[Conian]

I dont even know who the advert for is for... but it's some unconvincing transvestite pretending to be an air hostess
there so to be no relevence as to why its a trannie and not an actual woman
my only thought is that its the owner of the company living out his fantasy to be a woman on tv

I think I've found the website for you all:

This was while searching the internet in vain for anyone that could explain to me what the connection was between Louise Redknapp sitting in the garden and shaving your legs.
