I am a bit disappointed that Nicolas Parsons does the voice over for a company of loan sharks.

OneFingerSjupesUpTheYoni · 09/05/2013 13:47

Ah that scs dick. She had no eyes. I was annoying dp by being annoyed with her the other night - i was counting how often you see actual eyeball rather than just make up... i think it was 3 times she opened her eyes like a normal person

MrsHelsBels74 · 10/05/2013 10:41

I find the J2O cats & dogs rather creepy too.

This is a good place to vent your spleens ladies. I particularly like the "EDF Energy Parasite"

adturds.co.uk/

boschy · 10/05/2013 11:10

love that site, and agree about the J2O dogs and cats. def creepy.

PostBellumBugsy · 10/05/2013 11:11

oh no, I love the EDF bobble (horrified at the thought of calling it a turd or parasite Wink). We got some posted through the door trying to convert us to EDF & we are so sad we glued them together, so that you got to see the bobble on both sides. DD has them pinned up in her bedroom! Blush

ArbitraryUsername · 10/05/2013 11:13

What is that EDF thing meant to be. We think of it as the EDF poo.

ArbitraryUsername · 10/05/2013 11:15

It is definitely a poo. Why would you want to advertise your company with a happy little shit?

PostBellumBugsy · 10/05/2013 11:18

For saps like me who think it is a cute bobble! I go all weak & mushy when I see it riding the back of the dog too.

Doesn't make me want to change supplier though Grin.

MrsHelsBels74 · 10/05/2013 11:18

I always think of the EDF thing as a poo...I know it's meant to be a flame(?) but it will always be a poo to me.

ArbitraryUsername · 10/05/2013 11:19

A flame!? But it's entirely the wrong colour to be a flame.

MrsHelsBels74 · 10/05/2013 11:20

Well I could be wrong!

NurseRatchet · 10/05/2013 11:24

I hate that arse of a woman in the coffee ad where the boyfriend pretends to go to the coffee shop. "Guess what I want". I don't know, a slap in the chops maybe?

PostBellumBugsy · 10/05/2013 11:28

Oh NurseRatchet there is so much wrong with that ad; she is supposed to look like she has just woken up - with an immaculately applied face of make up - but lightly tousled hair, just so we really think she has just woken up.
There is a whispery bit, like the secret escapes ad, which is beyond annoying & there is the deceiving smug boyfriend who can't be arsed to walk to the coffee shop. And she is stupid enough to believe instant is real. Gah!!!!

FreedomOfTheTess · 10/05/2013 11:29

Zingy (the EDF flame) is the BEST advert ever. I will not hear a bad word said about Zingy.

MrsHelsBels74 · 10/05/2013 11:30

Yeah why doesn't the boyfriend just say 'fuck off I'm not going out in the pouring rain just to get you a coffee'?

MrsHelsBels74 · 10/05/2013 11:31

I'm not saying I dislike Zingy, I don't at all, but he does look like a poo!

squoosh · 10/05/2013 11:32

Oh, is that poo like thing meant to be a flame? I assumed he wasn't meant to be a turd but that's certainly what he looks like.

ArbitraryUsername · 10/05/2013 11:32

Why would he be going to the bloody coffee shop anyway? Why would you get out of bed, trek down to Starbucks and buy a takeaway coffee? Even if it wasn't raining, the plan was utter madness.

And, if you were going to go to all that bother, you'd come back with bacon rolls or cake or something to make it all worthwhile.

And if you were going to pay £2 a cup for some takeaway coffee, why would you decant it into mugs at home?

The entire thing is just stupid. It makes Kate's greyscale husband look bright.

ArbitraryUsername · 10/05/2013 11:34

So he's called zingy and supposed to be a flame. Dear lord. In that case why isn't he red and yellow? Someone at some point must have realised that he looks like a little shit and they still thought it was a great idea.

squoosh · 10/05/2013 11:36

If he's a gas flame he should have a little blue tip too.

< gives withering look to EDF marketing department>

ArbitraryUsername · 10/05/2013 11:40

Yes. Exactly. And he should have less defined edges.

PostBellumBugsy · 10/05/2013 11:42

flames probably shouldn't be on a dog's back either. In fact what is it doing on the dog's back?

ArbitraryUsername · 10/05/2013 11:45

Neither flames nor poo are really great to have riding on a dog's back really.

StoicButStressed · 10/05/2013 11:46

Have you lot been on the gin already this morning?Hmm

As NO-ONE - that's right, not bloody ONE of you slaps ALL has mentioned THE SINGULARLY MOST 'SCRATCH YOUR OWN EYES UNTIL THEY BLEED FECKIN 'AD'. Shame on you - and you are people I usually TRUST?

Carol Vorderman. Flogging Isme. Walking and talking towards camera on cliffside in long dress and then flicking ONE OF HER BUNCHES OVER HER SHOULDER.

[note: she is their new Ambassador btw, NOT someone who had plastic surgery earlier than anyone else, and NOT someone who is whoring her brain by references to feckin 'numbers' in ads, and NOT someone who patently should be/inadvertantly is advertising Collegan by the kilo whilst flicking mad age-innappropriate BUNCHES around.]
