Longtime lurker, rare poster.

You know the one I'm on about.

The idiot woman singing about how "Buses are the future", letting the red carpet out for smiley people who look so happy they could cure cancer prance up and down the bus with terrible jazzhands.

I seriously have to mute the television or leave the room. I have no idea why, but I just want to headbutt her! And I'm not normally a violent person!

Anyone else suffering with SAAMI*!?

I have never seen such a thing.

Do you have a link?

colken · 21/10/2011 20:28

I've never seen it either. Perhaps it's a regional thing.

SevenOfNine - are you my mother? She hates that advert too.

JenniferYellowHatsRedLingerie · 21/10/2011 20:30

I don't know that advert (thank god, by the sounds of it!) but I too struggle with SAAMI.
The Halifax will NEVER get my business.
Am totally digging the new Muller Light ads though!

SevenOfNine · 21/10/2011 20:30

It's just so fricking annoying!

Dh said the same thing tonight, well he said 'its the most anoying add ever' Grin.

budgieshell · 21/10/2011 20:35

I don't know which ad you mean but I agree with JenniferYHRL the muller ad is pure entertainment.

I loathe all online bingo ads, I'm almost tempted to go online to see if they are as bad as the ad's.

JenniferYellowHatsRedLingerie · 21/10/2011 20:37

OMG. I only needed to hear the first two bars. That would make me hurl things at the TV.

SevenOfNine · 21/10/2011 20:37

Budgieshell - there's a link to it just above your post if you want to have your ears bleed.

And I've had the goddamn bingo ad from Jeremy Kyle in my head all week!
"Bingo, Bingo I'm in love!"

What is it advertising?
If it's not on youtube, you need to get it on there so everyone can be annoyed by it.
DH won't watch any live commercial tv, only on itv/C4/player thingys, that way no ads (although they are starting to creep in).

It's advertising First Buses, a bus company in the UK.

Jeremy Kyle has done an advert? SevenofNine, I'd stop watching whatever channel it is you're watching, it's clearly not good for your mental health :)

betabaker · 21/10/2011 20:41

'x-post' - didn't post when I'd written.
thanks youtube Hmm .
what is it with the notes coming out of her mouth - so that you know she's singing?!

Shakey1500 · 21/10/2011 20:45

It is annoying. But so pointless also! A bus is a bus is a bus fgs. I don't care if it's First National or whoever. If it's going my way, I'm on it.

SevenOfNine · 21/10/2011 20:45

JenniferYellow - it's the sponsorship advert. And it's UNBEARABLY catchy!

sqweegiebeckenheim · 21/10/2011 20:47

Oh god that's hideous.

love the name SevenofNine!!!

TethHearseEnd · 21/10/2011 20:48

Thank the sweet lord I live in London and I never have to sully my eyes and ears with that again.

That advert makes me want to drive to the corner shop. On the pavement. In a hummer.

SevenOfNine · 21/10/2011 20:51

Thanks sqweegie XD

And thank GOD it isn't just me. I want to hunt her down, gaffatape her to a chair and then force her to listen to that damned advert until she is so insane she chews her own hands off to escape.

Well... maybe not that much. But I still can't stand the woman!

JenniferYellowHatsRedLingerie · 21/10/2011 20:55

Oh, sponsorship adverts. They're the worst. As if we don't have to endure enough advertising already, they have to sully my favourite programmes with crappy products that have no relation to my life or likes. Grrr.

fragglerocks · 21/10/2011 21:32

Oh my god, that's awful. Thankfully I never have to hear that again, living in London all bus journeys are awful, theres no point trying to make out any journey could be great!

stepawayfromtheecclescakes · 21/10/2011 21:55

ARghhhhhhhhhh................... JUST .................. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

HeidiKat · 21/10/2011 22:05

Dear God that is cheesetastic, I thought the child in the KFC advert was irritating but we have a new winner.

betabaker · 21/10/2011 22:23

what about the Haribo one? where none of them can sing?

AllGoodNamesGone · 21/10/2011 22:53

I would beat up the entire family in the haribo add before turning on the singing bus driver.

However, my most hated is the one with people blowing on their heinz soup. I honestly have to stick my fingers in my ears and hum my way through that one (or leave the room if I can summon up the energy to move fast enough!)
