Worst advert on TV at the moment - Page 84 - TV Programmes

sazzaj · 20-04-2006, 16:52

the ragu one with the kid licking the sauce off of the spagetty

yeh good thing to teach kids

Eraserhead · 20-04-2006, 17:35

Stupid ad for salad with a bunch of farmers waving leafy vegetables in each others' faces - "radicchio" "oloroso" - aaargh.

nathanbrazil · 20-04-2006, 17:41

It got to be that arch t*** Ricky Gervais, self-promoting whatever he's done with the Simpsons. Arghhhhh.

Oh No ! I love the lottery one.

The AA one I find scary - as I did the last one - all the people converging on one car - like zombies

Agree about the Honda one.

You are so right. I am sick of his smug face, doesn`t he realise the Yanks are going to drop him whenever the next `star` emerges from the UK? Aaagh!

Any advert that mentions constipation (especially that one that starts with "Ever wonder what happens when you've got constipation?" um, NO!)diarrhea or other bodily functions. I've noticed these ads seem to get played the most during breakfast, lunch or tea time. WHY? I mean way to put people off their food.

Sheila's Wheels is horrific. Whoever wrote that jingle...can I kill them? Not to mention it sexist as hell (and I'm a woman too)...men would never get away with boasting about for Men Only so why do we? Double standards time again. Lastly, it's an an for insurance but the girls sit on top of the seats without belts on while driving? Dear God give me strength.

I also hate that ad with that awful sour face woman who demands loudly "Will I get all of the compensation?" or whatever she says, and that smary, crawling git who answers her.

There are lots more, but I find the above three the most offensive. But adverts in general are pretty much all awful.

rapidem · 21-04-2006, 15:50

That Cuprinol one with that bloke laughing as he sprays his fence becasue his neighbour has to handpaint, there's just something about that man that makes me really angry

ps1 · 21-04-2006, 16:03

I cant think of his name but he is a comedian. He used to do the Daz adverts which now get on my nerves (the soap you can believe in) its Danny something it will come to me eventually. That Honda advert with all the people doing the sound effects man thats annoying.

Oh no this is a great advert Florette. I've worked at the place where they package that salad stuff, not actually packing the stuff. Makes me laugh every time I see it just reminds me of the people I used to deal with there.

This one has always intrigued me - Steve Redgrave is a well known diabetic. Guess who Admiral don't want to insure!

CloudSeeder · 21-04-2006, 16:14

I hate any advert where the company has obviously called itself after a random cheapo web address; ie elephant.co.uk, admiral, confused.com, etc... and than dresses someone up so it looks deliberate. Also hastings direct: blatantly because they could get a phone number with 1066 in it.

I had a flipping email this morning from that daft gimp advertising his appearence on the Simpsons. I hate the show even when he is on it LOL

kobiashimarux · 21-04-2006, 18:22

Whoopse I meant to include the name Ricky Gervais here

Chie · 22-04-2006, 09:58

"Did you know that Tresemme started in salons?"

Yes, you've told me a million times FFS

secret agent · 22-04-2006, 10:17

The advert with Teri Hatcher and the hair product. She and the background music are really annoying!
Also sick of seeing Ricky Gervais promoting his apperance on the Simpsons every minute. Many celebirites have done so, what makes his so special?

cuppy_girl_17 · 22-04-2006, 10:48

Accident helpline ads!!! OHHH SHUT UP FFS!

Aren't they ever happy with the people they've already got?!?
Thats if they have any

. I reckon it sounded better with the gutier insted of the womon singing and that horrilble piano music in the background

. luckely we just have the piano music for the sponserd ads

.

cmc 42 · 22-04-2006, 23:04

I'm pretty certain I've mentioned this before, but I'm suprised no one else has : -

What is it with that advert for eyecare "Don't be treated like a sausage in a sausage factory" "We treat our customers like people not sausages"

Where on Earth did they get that comparison from? I have never felt like a sausage!

Lol- hilarious post- especially that bit.

I think the worst thing about all these adverts is the fact that they blare out of your TV at 100 decibels more than a normal programme like a spoilt brat kid going 'look at me, look at me!'

I admire Barbra Streisand (never thought I'd say that) for phoning up a TV network and asking them to turn the adverts down. The report made it sound like she was being all diva-ish but I don't blame her one little bit!

bbryan · 23-04-2006, 16:49

tell me about it! bloody compensation adds!!!!!

some of them are so bloody bad, its like if you want to watch anythin thats on a cable channel (mainly UKTV) you have to put up with 2 mins full off them every 10 mins!

and see if i see that one with bloody Gervais promoting the simpsons, im gonna smash the tv in!!!!!!!

Fibber McGee · 24-04-2006, 15:08

Sex chatline ads. There are dozens of them on M&M, usually featuring dire looking burds, but I find it hard to believe that anyone would pay £1/min or more for this kind of thing.
