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:(

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

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.

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

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

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:

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:
