the one where the terribly middle class parents, who you just KNOW would normally take their offspring on a yurt building holiday or somesuch, break the ohsodelightful news to the kids that they're going to Shitneyland and they run around screaming with 'joy'.

i shudder every time i see it.

i presumed you were talking about dick and dom.

but yes, i also hate the disney ad. although i think it's mark warner who is losing out, not some yurting company.

blinks · 08/03/2011 23:19

i had to google 'mark warner'. that's how clueless i am.

Another hater here - though it's also because I know we'll never be ableto afford to do it.
Don't hate it as the 'So Juicy' advert though.

blinks · 08/03/2011 23:23

cocks, the lot of them. there are hardly any good adverts anymore.

As soon as the ads come on i hit the mute button...they do my head in...

And the adverts are always louder than the tv programmes.

raffle · 08/03/2011 23:32

Reeling, I couldn't agree more. I'm deaf in one ear and have about 80% hearing in the other, so my TV is up LOUD! And when the adverts come on DS and DH jump out their skins, bless 'em!

GreenEyesandHam · 08/03/2011 23:32

Nah don't mind that one

The one I REALLY hate, is the bingo one, where gormless women tell what they'd do if they 'wun big'

One says she would 'pay to get her husband back in shape' or something.

How RUDE!! Can you imagine if it were in reverse and a man were to say the same??

i would love to shoot the fecker at Disney Advertising who came up with the "kids under 12 stay and play for Free" slogan cos i have to explain again that it doesn't mean he can go all by himself and stay at disney world that we have to pay for mummy and DS2 to go too so that he can stay for free.......

bastards

blinks · 08/03/2011 23:42

ahhhhhh the bingo adverts are utterly shiteous.

Mrswhiskerson · 08/03/2011 23:45

i hate all the bingo ads like all we do is play bingo all day and cackle (when really its mn all day)

the disney ads are horrible manipulative shit , you see the joy on the kids faces then feel crap because you know you will never be able to afford it and i have heard of kids thinking holidays are crap if it is anywhere but disney.

the always have a happy period do my box in too , the only way i will ever have a happy period is if i can spend it in a posh hotel on my own hooked up to morphine with a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge bar of chocolate and some good films no amount of always are going to do that.

dont even want to start on the biffidus digestvum martine mcutcheon ads , what is she thinking with those jeans?

Um, after you say "yes" three times, what do you do? I can't see a "next" button, and nearly accidentally reported you...

MillieMoosMummy · 10/03/2011 00:41

I love the Disney advert!

(purely because it makes me excited to take my baby there... Not with any sort of critical eye!)

FiteFuaite · 10/03/2011 10:00

I hate the dishwasher ads all that greasy goo makes me vomitous Angry

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 10/03/2011 10:10

I currently LOVE two adverts... one is the Broadband advert "Stop putting vegetation in my bed, it's PERverse..." and the Aldi Ketchup one, comparing Heinz and the own brand and the little girl says "I like this one and I like this one... but I don't like boys..." Grin

Some of the adverts have the most shocking writers though... I loathe every single one that now represents Halifax... the previous advert had that woman with the mad, pale eyes like a goat, looking at her DJ colleague as if she was going to lick his face... very odd... Confused

bupcakesandcunting · 10/03/2011 10:38

No offence to anyone who loves Disneyland, I know lots of people do, but no way am I being manipulated into taking my child there! I've been and it was expensive, shit and full of morons. And you can only eat chips.

No thank you.

RustyRainbow · 10/03/2011 10:47

not sure which is worse - the Dick and Dom one or the Boden woman who looks as if she works for Maplins (Hi De Hi not electronics) - she's even in front of what looks like a swimming pool Confused - i'm expecting a nobbly knees contest at any moment...

blinks · 10/03/2011 21:19

'expensive, shit and full of morons' should be it's new strapline...

No thank you.

For once, I agree with you. This doesn't mean I like you. Grin

I hate those disney adverts. Like outnumbered I have to explain to DSs every single time the advert is on that although they can both go free, we have to pay for DH and I and can't afford it. Angry

I love the Go-Cat free runner ad though. Grin

thefirstMrsDeVere · 10/03/2011 21:43

I thought I would HATE Disney. Because, well I hate Disney. Not the old stuff but the complete Disnificatin of anything i.e. Christmas/Dismas.

But we were lucky enough to go on one of those trips for sick children with the Black Cabbies. As soon as I saw that big pink castle thingy I turned into a total loon and just ran towards it squealing Blush

DD was mortified at this AND the fact that every giant Minnie, Micky, Pluto etc wouldnt leave her alone because she was in a wheelchair. SHe did not find this cool!

bristolcities · 10/03/2011 22:01

Ah the 'so juicy advert' is rank, thought about putting it in the 'normal things you find creepy' thread. Horrible.

RenniesFromHeaven · 10/03/2011 22:05

What about the advert with the fireman spraying white gunk into someone's stomach?

bigbeagleeyes · 10/03/2011 22:16

Whatever happened to the Pilsbury dough man. I hated him. I just wanted to squish him.
