"lets count them"

I agree

hollyivypoppy34 · 15/12/2008 21:56

lol - falcon am with you there about that.. also used to get irrationally cross about the vauxhall meriva ad with the kids talking about their parents in a patronising way

TheFalconInThePearTree · 15/12/2008 21:58

I hated the Meriva ads too.

I'm on a roll now.

The 'I'm a PC' ad.

The ad with Richard Hammond.

The Chanel advert with Nicole Kidman.

And any of the Iceland adverts.

Tidey · 15/12/2008 22:02

The Co-operative one that starts with a horrible whiny caterwauling female singing 'Weee meh-he-heeet in Wiiiiiiiinter...'. I feel like kicking the TV.

And don't even get me started on that EFFING hair dye one where the silly woman is intimidated by the shoe shop worker until she's got her hair dyed the exact same colour it was already ( why not just take off your hat, you daft mare?) and then feels confident enough to buy a pair of hooker heels.

psychohohohoho · 15/12/2008 22:03

oooh.....DH hates the 'PC' one too!

I do like the haribo one tho, with the little girl acting as interigator (sp?)....the one ad that makes me smile

OP posts:
hollyivypoppy34 · 15/12/2008 22:04

ohhh.. just about any of the morrison ads get on my tits.

anything with myleene klass in it (she has ruined the m&s ads - you're not the only woman in the world who has had a kid )

TheFalconInThePearTree · 15/12/2008 22:06

Also the celebrity family Wi adverts. Or the celebrity DS adverts.

JennstarOfWonder · 15/12/2008 22:06

Isn't that what she does. Just takes her hat off?

AaliyahsFirstXmas · 15/12/2008 22:08

Moonpig sucks!! But the idea is good.

I hate the charity adverts cos I'm so skint I can't help but they make me feel guilty about that fact.

psychohohohoho · 15/12/2008 22:13

there is an idea behind moonpig bar trying to burn the eardrums of the entire population?????

I was unaware of any message

poshwellies · 15/12/2008 23:25

I used to use Moonpig years ago,when I found it on the interweb (tis actually a good site) and it was not advertising that god fucking awful crappy ad,I'm actually sick of my children singing along to it...'mooooonpig'

Grrrr

Agree with Wii non celebs and iceland wanker ads and jamie twatty,chanel dire 5,m & s....arghhh.

poshwellies · 15/12/2008 23:28

Oh and that Suggs pea advert..not seen it for a bit though and sainsbo-'Yes,I cooked the mincepies...well actually they were prefrozen and I just put them in the sainsburys oven-ain't I a very good mum'

MrsSnape · 15/12/2008 23:31

What about that Davina Mccoll advert about the hairdye?

"Even you, mum" grr

DingDongMummyLinOnHigh · 15/12/2008 23:34

and that awful sheilas wheels !!

Raalix · 15/12/2008 23:35

My current ad annoyance is the Asda one with the song "It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas" in the background. Sometimes it's on THREE times in a single ad break.

What's more annoying is that the song gets in my head and I find myself singing it all bloomin day!!!!
