I hate any advert, such as moonpig, where the company name is repeated over and over again. Drives me mad, they do it so you remember the name but all I remember is how much the advert annoys me and there for will not shop there.

It's not irrational

Tinker · 16/12/2008 00:01

Actually, I think it's become a bit culty in my house

macwoozy · 16/12/2008 00:25

Aggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!Now I got that jingle in my head..........................................Moonpig.....dot..............com...................... .......AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CarminaBanana · 16/12/2008 00:30

We all sing along merrily in this house.
The DCs and their friends also sing it on a regular basis, irrespective of location and appropriateness.

We have "library... library... library.com".

and "cake shop.... cake shop"

and "bus stop.... bus stop..."

I'm sure you get the picture!

............

I would happily get in the queue to squirt Chanel perfume in Nicole Kidman's face though.

VivaLaPotPourri · 16/12/2008 00:40

Oh yes, the Asda AD that's on 3 times in a row. And the DFS ad that tries wildly to link sofas to a rock song... by sugeesting you too can be a rock star if you buy one of those sofas. Err, farfetched?!. Aaaaand the Christina Aq. perfume ad, rip off of what Marilyn Monroe said about chanel no.5.

branflake81 · 16/12/2008 06:49

I am completely with you on the rice krispies kids, in fact I think I started a thread on it once....

I hate most adverts with children in, they're invariably twee.

JollyPirate · 16/12/2008 07:14

LMAO at some of these posts. Especially CarminaBanana - oh am soo glad DS is not quite old enough to do that yet.

The Morrisons one with Denise Van Outen saying "I want my fish fresh - not frozen" evben though everyone knows it's fresher if frozen. Silly mare.

The rice crispies one

Most car ads

ABudafulSightWereHappyTonight · 16/12/2008 07:20

I love the Asda one! It's beginning to look a lot like Xmas! DS and i sing along happily.

HarleyQuinn · 16/12/2008 07:53

All sodding perfume ads!
Morrisons
Car ads
Moonpig

SammyK · 16/12/2008 08:02

My DS is absolutely petrified of this advert, I have never seen fear like it

SpookyMadMummy · 16/12/2008 08:07

That bloody Sacla ad

TinselBaublesMistletoe · 18/12/2008 17:35

I think half the annoyingness about Moonpig is having a toddler that joins in! She also now knows the words to "It's begining to look a lot like Christmas" - she picks up words to songs very easily. I love songs like "Brown Eyed Girl" "Hey Jude" etc because you can guarantee she will be singing along by the second chorus!

christMAScomesbutonceayear · 18/12/2008 17:42

can I add the Jane Fonda ad too ? grrr
Agree with hideous Moonpig

christMAScomesbutonceayear · 18/12/2008 17:43

I do love the Famous Grouse ones though

misshardbroom · 18/12/2008 18:10

My worst is the Oatibix one.

Would never tire of smacking the smug bint.

TheFalconInThePearTree · 18/12/2008 18:44

Sacla and the Lockets ad.

Everytime I see that Moonpig advert I think "Mooncup". Best not to get the two confused.

On the subject of adverts can someone PLEASE explain the McDonalds great escape one - with the charades? I may be incredibly thick here, but WHAT is the guy meant to be miming at the beginning? (monkey impression standing by a Christmas tree?)

stillenacht · 18/12/2008 19:29

In the words of R Kelly et al

"You are not alone....."

TheFalconInThePearTree · 18/12/2008 19:33

King Kong is my guess.

BarcodeZebra · 18/12/2008 20:27

I too think Mooncup, Dreaming...

Now. Beware. I'm going to swear. A lot.

Can't stand the M&S not just food ads. Yes. Yes it is just fucking food. You've fucked about with it, right enough, so you can charge a small fortune but it IS STILL JUST food.

And the Morrison's ones too. What in the name of holy fucking fuck has Alan Hanson got to do with prawns? Does he breed them in his urinary tract or something?

Gah!

And as for confused.com: Fuck off my telly you bunch of stupid cocks....

That's better.

lottiejenkins · 18/12/2008 20:38

Moonpig, Lelli Kelly, Iceland, Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas.......The hair dye "its time" all get on my wick!!!
