That road safety one with the slightly creepy child saying "hit me at 30 and there's a xx% chance I'll live". Whatever happened to the Green Cross Code? I usually respond with "If you look both ways before stepping into the road, there's a 100% chance you'll live"!

Fighting plaque in a white jump suit

I do like clever adverts like the Honda one where they had all the parts doing somethingto activate another part etc, just to lock the doors. Very good. Ford then kind of coppied with the orchestra thing.

Oh it has to be the original Confused.com..... why does he have to shout??? And for the same reason.... Cilit Bang

I would never even consider either product simply because the ads put me off. I notice the confused.com ad has now quietened down. Maybe they had complaints!

the one about a drunk bloke climbing scaffolding dressed as batman or something then falling off and smacking the pavement

dumb

also what does annoy the [laxative munchie] out of me is, adverts done in a different language but with overdub
THIS IS 2008! surely you can make adverts in each language not cheapo overdub where you can see the woman doing the talknig but saying completely different words to what you're hearing!

muddyjames · « **Reply #12 on:** February 21, 2008, 20:15:59 »

the george foreman grill has to be annoying too.

"I'm so proud of it, I even put my name on it"

And how does that make it any better? I won't buy one because of this line.

Nik Naks adverts too. Hated them. Wont buy nik naks.

Any of the Churchill Insurance adds, especially the radio ones! I swear that dog sounds like its having a dump! Oh Yes!

Ok so how many of you find yourselves channel-hopping during the adverts?

Only to forget what you were watching anyway or find somehting else to watch. It's worse now we have freeview and the adverts are far more annoying.

Do what I do, buy a HDD recorder with time-slip, go take a really long pee, play with the dog/put kettle on/raid fridge/make dinner then use the adverts to catch up again.

I can watch CSI in 45 minutes now, after spending the 1st 15 minutes boiling something in a bag :)

sky+ was invented by a disgruntled engineer with a hatred for adverts i reckon!

i was reading something some time ago in american plans to stop people channel hopping in adverts so they are forced to watch them so the intention would be to ensure the watching audience see their product which undoubtedly theyve paid loads to put on prime time

Car insurance adverts really take the P*, mickey

We will cover you if you are damaged by an act of vandalism, how the bloody hell does 50+ housebricks being dropped onto your car warrant vandalism, unless there are mad fork truck drivers drivng around with them

Cars that swim with dolphins, or transformers, yeah right. Vauxhall corsa! IT'S A PUPPET, dumbo's!

Renault show you a top of the range car on the screen with the base model price, in the 3mm print at the bottom tells you the actual price of the model shown.

Try concentrating on the small print not the eye candy on the other 95% of the screen, it makes interesting reading

The one with the kid sitting on the bog having a dump, he say's pooh it stinks and puts a piece of paper under the door with a picture of an air freshner, well we all know that pooh stinks.

strapping young lad · « **Reply #23 on:** February 22, 2008, 12:39:19 »

the insurance claims one where someone slips on a foyer and you can hear the bone snap

oh and the HMRC one where that old bloke is walking in an egg timer
