Hope they get the shitty egg shaker thing they use put in their mouths to shut them up.

Tootsings · 21/02/2018 21:23

YANBU! Especially their new shitty "Which one of us do you like best?" - None, you twee eejits

Don't get me started of the feet smelling of gravy. Eww

EggysMom · 21/02/2018 21:26

I hate them. I have to mute them when they come on.

Fairylea · 21/02/2018 21:27

So awful. Everyone in our house hates them.

CocaineAndCaviar · 21/02/2018 21:35

I cannot fucking stand them. Especially the smug looking one with her stupid shitty shaker thing and that closed-eyes left-to-right head thing she does arrrggghhhhhh

There's been two new ones on in the last couple of days. TWO. TWO OF THEM.

witchofzog · 21/02/2018 21:37

cocaine You take out the smug one. I will take out the miserable cow Grin

BabbittyRabbittyCacklingStump · 21/02/2018 21:42

I also like them!

logicalmum · 21/02/2018 21:42

I would never ever use Nationwide now purely because of that advert. No other ad makes me shout "fuck right off" at the screen like that one does. Annoying bastards.

Neolibera · 21/02/2018 21:45

I liked their 2016 song, and some of their other songs on YouTube are quite good (the bee song springs to mind!) but yes, their nationwide ones are awful.

BuzzKillington · 21/02/2018 21:47

We HATE them!

DalekDalekDalek · 21/02/2018 23:33

I get their f*ing songs stuck in my head for hours afterwards.

LizzieLestrange · 21/02/2018 23:45

I can’t fucking stand them.

KriticalSoul · 21/02/2018 23:49

I didn't mind the first one at Christmas, but the ones since? Oh do fuck off. ugh.

HarrietKettle · 21/02/2018 23:52

We had a university alumni dinner the other week.

GUESS WHO WAS THE AFTER DINNER ENTERTAINMENT.

The sisters. I wanted to stab my ears but they'd bastarding cleared away all the cutlery.

Fortunately, the pompous twats fellow diners at my table had eschewed the rose wine as its 'common', apparently, so I was able to have a skin-full of that to get through it.

IntelligentYetIndecisive · 08/03/2018 21:22

Seems we're not the only ones who hate this advert

Death threats being reported in The Independent. 😕

Am I the only one thinking that if they were men, there wouldn't be half the abuse? 😡

DalekDalekDalek · 08/03/2018 21:25

Am I the only one thinking that if they were men, there wouldn't be half the abuse?

The Go Compare man got just as much abuse and last time I checked he was a man.

TheInvisiblePieceofShit · 08/03/2018 21:34

I like them.

overduemamma · 08/03/2018 21:36

I don't mind them 😬

IntelligentYetIndecisive · 09/03/2018 09:08

I hate the adverts, but the people who thought of them, paid for their creation and plastered them all over the radio and television are the people who deserve censure.

Like the Go Compare guy, the sisters sang their little songs, not realising the effect a comprehensive national ad campaign would have.

Kejdd · 09/03/2018 09:17

Apparently police involved now looking to arrest people who joked about killing them on twitter.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 09/03/2018 09:18

Annoying ads, but it is like the Go compare guy. But its a good advertising ploy, as bad as they are, they'll be remembered and hence the brand they represent.

expatinscotland · 09/03/2018 09:19

I loathe them!

notacooldad · 09/03/2018 09:36

Absolutely dreadful about the death threats.
Of course the ad is annoying, it's meant to be. You can't get it out of your head!
However to receive deatheats and other line abuse takes things to another level rather than just finding then cringe!

KimmySchmidt1 · 09/03/2018 09:36

Omg I hate these too. Are they trying to reach milennials ? It seems so manufactured even if it was t super annoying.

WORST ad on TV
