It's hideous! A load of freaks saying "Nom" and slapping and slurping over a yogurt! Eew...it disgusts me! I will never buy that yogurt now as all I can think of is people who make a lot of noise while eating!

And while I am at it...that bloody Betty Crocker ad with the little boys voice-over "And I get to lick the PATULA!" EEEK!

I know he sounds cute...I admit he does...but it makes my teeth tingle with irritation! AIBU?

All of the above ads make me scream.

Thought it was just me re. the Betty Crocker one. It infuriates me too!!

ThighsWideShitItsAGhost · 31/10/2010 23:54

And the Nom one even made DS pull the Hmm face when he saw it tonight.

ForMashGetSmash · 01/11/2010 00:00

Ooh GOOD! I hope those ad executives see this and think GAAAH! We wasted thousands on that advert and all it does is turn people off!

YADDDNBU...That nom advert is awful!

Also, isn't it just a muller corner with another (more annoying) name? Looks just the same to me.

Also dislike the bit at the end- it's a phenomenomnomnom or whatever it is!

bruffin · 01/11/2010 00:02

Nom is my DD and her friends favorite word at the moment. Everything has been nom for months.

Joolyjoolyjoo · 01/11/2010 00:03

The ad that has me shouting at the TV/radio just now is the one for "Home Care" by one of the gas companies- "We are committed to getting someone out to you the SAME DAY your boiler breaks down" Then the small voice at the end basically says "except when we're busy"! (may be limited availability at weekends/ public holidays or busy times)

So you MIGHT NOT! That's not the same as "comitted"!!

ForMashGetSmash · 01/11/2010 00:05

Yes Bruffin! I have noticed my neices use it a LOT on FB. I think these dumb ad folk trawl the sites where "young" people hang out and borrow phrases which they think will make their product appealing....guess what DUMBO's! Tis US parents who buy the food...and we hate the ad!

Phish...it is defo just a Muller with a silly name.

OP posts:
ForMashGetSmash · 01/11/2010 00:07

Lol Jooly! In their language "comitted" is not the same as a promise...small print done in voice overs is baaaaad...makes the product look cheapo!

Someone tell me what the fuck NOM means? is it just the sound one makes when shovelling food down ones gob? Grim!

moondog · 01/11/2010 00:09

Why do you watch them then?
I haven't seen a tv ad in years and my life immesurably better for it.

bruffin · 01/11/2010 00:10

Nom means delicious.

ThighsWideShitItsAGhost · 01/11/2010 00:12
ForMashGetSmash · 01/11/2010 07:10

Spookily you're right! It IS just the awful sound of someone gorging!

Thighs...now what will you do when something GOOD comes on!? Grin

TheJollyPirate · 01/11/2010 07:13

I only have one thing to say to you.....

"Go Compare, go compare....."

AGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!

But the Nom one is pretty crap too.

ForMashGetSmash · 01/11/2010 07:19

I don't mind the GO Compare....I see his song might grate...but at least he's not SLURPING anything!

ProfYaffle · 01/11/2010 07:20

Oh God, it drives me insane! The sound of people fatly gargling yoghurt, it's stomach churning. I'll never EVER buy it, the mere sight of the pot makes me think of phlegm.

ForMashGetSmash · 01/11/2010 07:30

Ooh ProfYaffle "Fatly gargling yogurt", that sums it up!
Exellent. So happy people are with me!

YADNBU

I want to kill whoever came up with this advert with my bare hands!!

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and have hyperemesis. Whenever this fucking advert comes on, with people slurping over the poxy yogurt, if I don't get to the remote in time it starts me off being sick.

it's more heave making than that crappy 'lick the lid of life' advert, that was round a few months ago. Bleurgh.

ForMashGetSmash · 01/11/2010 10:10

Oh yes JuneBug! I was thinking of that lick the lid advert when I wrote the OP! That was disgusting too!

Sue them sue them!
