It's been said before - all the KFC adverts. But the new one, with the dad and the clown lamp, where he pulls the string.

The mother says "Naw. This is a bargain, a bucket o' chicken, and fries, for under 11 quid?" in her best cockney..

Jesus. That ad is just miserable.

The Allianz advert really is horrible. The scream of that Asian woman - mother of god that hurts my ears. And the worst thing about it? The voice over. What he's saying is actually so pointless. What's the one word people think of Allianz insurance? Cue people screaming and then he says: "Allianz, the one word people think of our insurance". Well obviously Allianz insurance is called Allianz. Even the way he says "of" pisses me off. He says it like it's spelt uff rather than of.

Park 14 ads.. Ok mum you got your hubby fat, your daughter, you couldn't be bothered so you got her gift vouchers and the son fobbed off with crap toys while you sat on your arse and "didn't get stressed"
The ad gets shown twice in every slot between programs lately.

The one with the flat screen TV is worse imo, especially with the guy saying he has anxiety... Just falls flat, horrible humour...

hucklebuck · 10-01-2014 10:35pm

Any ad with "technology" in it, when it's not really technology just bull**** to try get you to buy the product.

Vanish have their lift and clean technology, no it's just ****ing cleaning which has been around years

Mens moisturiser with their facial protection technology

Womens makeup with their age defying technology/ gravity defying technology

Assholes...

This.

We "re-vitalise your skin"

ie: it feels tingly.....

.... ie: your skin is being burnt by the caustic Benzoate we added to this product.

Don't worry though.
Lt George / Dr. house thinks its great.

where is that ad even filmed, the Allianz one? Supposed to be Ireland, looks exotic, like SOUTH AFRICA, A LOT OF ADS DO SEEM TO BE FILMED FOREIGN FOR TAX BREAKS.

Tesco mobile

Another ad on the virtue of motherhood!

lertsnim · 13-01-2014 12:36am

Sky Broadband ad with the guy bringing us on a tour of his house. What an annoying dickhead.

Also I wouldn't be opposed to all of the dancing (badly) tossers in the betfred ads getting caught in a massive fireball

mark_79 · 13-01-2014 10:49am

Can't stand that new BT Infinity ad featuring that ugly fat ginger nerd and his hot blonde girlfriend. As if she'd even p**s on him if he was burning!

More that it can be used in multiple countries, you can have the same accident victims and then you substitute the operator for a Spanish, French, German etc operator as appropriate.
I still think that some insurance company with the letters "Sh" or "Fu" would have much better success if this principle were true.

Still though, miles better then the 'My Advice....' series of ads.

On that ad what does the woman sing near the end? She's asking the mother to do something but just fluffs it. Anyone any ideas?

I dont care very much just mildly curious.

That ad has to be the most mentioned in this thread. Worst ad of 2013? I wouldn't mind only he supposed to be annoying, but yeah he's just very punchable. Wouldn't mind only I have great time for Emma herself...fine woman.

Just seen an ad with some lady in orgasmic bliss washing her hair she then walks out with perfect hair into the aisle of a plane. Who the **** washes their hair in airplane jacks?

I'm just wondering how someone can bring enough shampoo onboard to be able to wash their hair on an aeroplane. :pac:

It is a horrible ad and haven't seen it for a while now thank god!

That SMA ad where the mammy smells the kids arse only to find out he needs changing and the other kid with his face covered in food, if she stuck his head in it I doubt it would be as bad.

Is that the English imitation Bulmers? Cos I'm sure our Bulmers/Magners guys wouldn't be so thick.

They did subject us to that horrible series of ads featuring those "loveable" village idiots.Thankfully they seem to have ended as I haven't seen them in a while.

bodhi085 · 17-01-2014 7:54pm

Any femine hygiene ads. Just seen the one for vagisil. Imagine if there was an ad for mens hygiene for sweaty bollox.
