Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Having just being reminded about this by Flogger, my children are now running around the house saying "Charley says".....

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

My worst is Slap Chop, Google it. nuff said.

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

I don't why I like this one but it makes me laugh and also have mexican party.

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

The one about them stupid sunglasses, "European style" :frown:





Also some of the ones on Shaw's channel selection page are pretty damn irritating.

My favorite one would have to be the Staples one, "Its the most wonderful time of the year" :lol: :rofl:

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

My favorite at the moment would have to be the Cadbury's advert with the 2 kids and the scary eyebrows :eek: kinda freaky, but funny too

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

my three worst have been mentioned, Slap Chop, HD vision wrap arounds and the kids with the eyebrows.

From last year its the Peptobismol Lady.


Any advert that has the participants nodding (ie the Tresemme (sp?) guy with the ultra white teeth ) has me twitching.

Favourite one by a mile is this one (you have to watch this) and possibly my favourite of all time is this one from Heineken :rofl: :thumbup:

(sorry its the foreign version - my dial up connection is especially slow today and I am not waiting 5 weeks to trawl through you tube for the English language version)!

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Unsurprisingly, I find them all intensely irritating. Oh, now and again there's one which causes a twitch of mirth the first time it's on, but then it will be rebroadcast ad nauseam just like the rest of the shit.

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

:rofl::rofl:

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

God I find that ad SO annoying.....;) If anything was going to turn me off chocolate that would be it.:rofl:

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Ugh, I HATE this commercial!!! Mainly because I hate screaming/shrieking in all it's shapes and forms - I have never known anyone, male or female, who actually screams with excitement, and if I did they would probably feel my fist pretty quickly.

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

In these days of PVR's - I never watch ad's anymore. But I always like this when I was young...

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

I currently hate that car insurance advert

"You don't drive like her ... " with that manic woman bouncing back and forth in her seat - agghhh - and then they always play it twice in a row ... :thumbdown:

better version! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWEOHd9JNmk

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

I still have nightmares about this one .... I think it was for a ringtone or mobile phone or something ..... J :banghead:

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

I hate all Rogers adverts especially the ones with the 'cool' i.e. incredibly annoying students in them :frown: I'd never buy a Rogers phone now!

Also can't stand the Heinekin one............and most adverts on TV here actually, they are just annoying, I miss funny adverts. And I miss Billy Mays:(

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

I rather miss the bearded git off the Crappy Tire ads. So bad as to be almost deliberate.

Gordon ****ing Pape:banghead: I hope he's dead.

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

My son (9 years old) is going to dress up like Vince (smarmy grin, blue shirt, headset, box of Sham Wow and all the annoying catch phrases (you followin' me camera guy, Olympic divers use this, its made in Germany and you know those Germany guys make good stuff) for Hallowe'en this year...should be interesting.

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Hmmm, perhaps this might make you reconsider....

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

I like the Dairy Milk one with the kids eyebrow dance too....


No idea at all what it has to do with selling chocolate, but it makes me laugh anyway.

Mostly I just fast forward through commercials nowadays.

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Eeeek, makes me think they are children of the dammed :eek:

Almost puts me off chocolate................................ almost I said ;)

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

I'm aware of Vince's past..my son isn't...he finds him quite annoying but he'll still watch the commercial if it is on. I wouldn't recognize Vince in that mug shot

Here is a different interpretation of the infamous Sham Wow commercial

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

It's the colour of the girl's dress. Same as the wrapper. Association, innit?

Silk Cut ciggies used the same principle years ago, when direct advertising got banned. Come to think of it, they had the same colour.

Colour is used a lot in advertising and branding.

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Ah...that must be why I was craving a smoke and didnt get the connection to the chocolate:lol:

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Yep, that one gets on my goat as well, every time we come out to Canada we find that they are still showing it 'C'MON ALREADY..............', stupid, stupid, stupid!

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Slap Chop getting my goat as well - have to endure this at least once a day.... Would love to shove that thing in his face and see what a mess it makes of it :o

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

LOL......I have been telling my daughter for the past year, that she sounds like the ' Charlie says' adverts :rofl:

Linda

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Slap Chop and Sham Wow are pretty bad. The other one that stands out for me is the Dollars for Gold advert where the guy with the English accent shouts through the whole advert.

There is also an advert for some sort of blender thing where there is a couple (he sounds English) who wizz up pesto sauce etc in 10 secs to the "amazement" of the hand picked open mouthed audience.

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Adverts?:confused:

What are these adverts you speak of?:sneaky::p

Isn't this what PVR's are for, to avoid such intrusions?:thumbup:

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Guessing you don't watch any sports then?

PVR'ing a live event and watching it later takes the fun out of it IMO...

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Not on TV, no.

However if you don't know the outcome then recording and playing back later works quite well. :p

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Well then I guess you won't be watching Pitchmen

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitchmen

The english, Dollars for Gold, guy is Sully.

I now remember the awe inspiring pesto sauce advert.

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

For me, the most annoying must be Tempurpedic. Someone should tell them that it's not a "sleep system", it's a matress!

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Ah the Magic Bullet ad, with "Frank & Mimi"!!!! Sooooo annoying, plus a useless product. :thumbdown:

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

Slap Chop ad is annoying, but amusing at the same time, partly as Vince got busted for slapping a hooker, and I recall the tag line for the ad being, for a short while "Be like Vince and slap your troubles away" :D

The Castrol ad with the scottish chap whacking people with a dipstick is annoying.

I agree the "cool students" Roger's ads are seriously annoying, the one where the chap is sliding the keyboard in and out makes me want to take the phone and batter him with it whilst saying "fist in, fist out!" grrrr :D

The Fido ads with people having issues with their land lines and then switching to Fido are starting to annoy me.

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

I checked out your link and recognised the other gentleman from the pitchmen - the one with the beard. Didn't realise he had died earlier this year which is obviously very sad etc. I remember seeing him do an advert for some type of cleaning product which at the time I thought was probably the "shoutiest" advert I had ever seen.

Another one I saw yesterday which I hadn't seen for a while is the "loud n clear" hearing aid. So bad you might think it's a spoof advert.

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

OOOOOhhhhh Boston Pizza ............... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:ohmy:

Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
 

I just love 'smiling bob' the Enzyte man!

Loud and clear is annoying, especially the bit when the kids are in the park and they shout 'wait for me' it sounds like a bloke with tight trousers on. Snuggies is another one. Favourites.....'Viva viagra" really make me laugh cause they are so false:rofl:
