Nope.

Maybe, someday!
I like to think someone will finally make an awesome Advert.

somebody has! the new BT infinity ad with Ryan Reynolds...

Say Your Number

These is one but it's only about ten pages long, giving out about the one's you hate is a lot more fun.

The shortest thread on Boards.

The one with the lonely potato. The ad is for baked crisps, which still use potatoes

If the ad was for crisps that didnt use potatos then it would make more sense. Or instead of a lonely potato if it was a lonely deep fat fryer....

The advert with the singing bridesmaids, I think it's for Jacob's crackers? Absolutely does my head in - I'm getting shivers here just thinking about it
Edit: found it

Ugh, I agree. And they're all mingers too.

Jesus, just saw some b*llocks for Haribo with various adults voiced over by kids.

It takes a serious marketing genius to make me stop buying something i would previously have been happy to shell out for. Stop buying it and start hating it. Well done.

I really wish Haribo would stop that adults with kids voices thing. For starters I'd reckon more adults eat haribo than kids do, so please stop patronising us. And just because I like Haribo sweets, doesn't mean I think kids voices on adults is cute.

Dairy milk! F***ing Dairy Milk!

Surely the most irritating b*llocks ever. Ha! Look! A cat scratching a dog! It's mental! And i can totally see the link to vegetable oil based sugary skank!

Worst chocolate in the world, and without a doubt the worst series of ads ever. Ever see the ones with the c*nts in their office chairs? Or those two oul wans in the factory? Will you please, please, please just f*ckin f*ck off. Forever.

B&Q ads are generally ****e but those animal ones make no sense

Muahahaha

I just got banned from B&Q, some old guy in an orange apron came up to me and asked if I wanted decking.

Luckily I got the first punch in.

But...I like that ad. :eek:

I noticed the aib ad is still doing the rounds with the kid on the bicycle asking randomers questions. What just struck me is how at the end of the ad he says hello to one guy at the door then 'hello Dad' further into the house. Nice to see AIB has a healthy contemporary attitude at least

That's because the guy at the door is an estate agent. The family are there to view the property they may buy with their mortgage.

Or, maybe the estate agent is there because the family have there house up for sale? The kid seems way to comfortable\familiar with the house for it to be a strange random property they are thinking of purchasing.

If you think a cat scratching a dog to some Barry White is the most irritating thing ever, how do you manage to get through all the other adverts?

Ah FFS Vodafone have brought the pig ads back!

Honestly, there is so much about TV, take for example the entire station of ITV, that makes me so angry, I have to limit myself to a few hours a week.

And i try to stick to BBC where i can because everything else is drowning in ads.

The Smirnoff deaf dancer ad. My problem is with the ad, not the guy, assuming he's real. He's deaf, but can dance anyway, well fair play to him. Really. My problem is, where does Smirnoff fit into this picture? He downs a few shots before he gets on the floor? If that's the point, then what kind of message is it sending? If that's not the point, then what's the point of the whole ad? Is Smirnoff positioning itself as a poster child for achievement, inclusivity and the defiance of stereotype? That's quite a claim for a product whose purpose is just to get you pissed.

Anyway we're all great dancers when we're drinking vodka...

The new vhi ad with the cartoon child with the big eyes. They are really playing up the fear factor.
