Irrational hatred of the MOONPIG advert.............................tell me I am not alone.....................

[psychohohohoho]

I seriously feel like ripping my ears off when I hear the ad............no idea why, it just does.

what sets you off????

But I'd've thrown a football in Mrs Picture Loans's face too, I'm afraid.

I am now annoying DP by singing moonpig. To be fair he is leaning on me so I have to MN one-handed.

I love buuuuuussssss-stooooop
reeeeeedddddd-caaaaarrrrrr
I htink I might play that game too.

I remember being in hospital last time I was pregnant and the adverts for that no win no fee company (who's name escapes me) used to come on all the time. The sound effects when you have headphones on are rather sickening - the crunch when the woman falls on the wet floor and hurts her knee or the bloke who used the wrong ladder and crushed his wrist... I hate those ads now because even though I can't hear it on normal TV I know it's there!

Oh, snowofhands, you've just brought it all horribly back. Thank christ for the credit crunch

"I think Dad's found yer SCOO-TAH"
Oh I so miss that

I hate the Moonpig ad too.
And the DFS one.

I loathe the Tassimo "Push the Button" one at the mo.

And Frontline spot on - "The Jester of Love you can trust"

Its Gesture dear.

I have been getting disproportionately irritated by Fearne Whatsit playing with some kiddie electronic game and saying "Oahw, Holloy would love this..."

Is tassimo the advert with the poncey-looking man with a tiny tinycup of espresso, then the yoga woman in an oddly skin-coloured catsuit? She freaks me out, and he needs a good slapping. Get a proper sized cup!

I f**king hate Fearne Cotton, she is such a twat. I cannot stand her, she should be taken out back and shot for inflicting us with her presence. She ruins every show she has been on and lets face it that's a lot of shows, she must be really cheap. She's everywhere like shite in a field.

i hate that "here comes the girls" boots advert
drives me insane

Yep Astra that's the one

That Dolce and Gabbana one with Giselle being fussed over and looking sooo hassled by being adored.
I want to slap her.

Oh, I must be an intolerant bugger, because I am nodding my head furiously at all of these! But can I just add those Michael Winner ones- "Calm down dear, it's a commercial!" I just want to put my foot through the screen when his smug muppet face appears on it.

Any ad that promises wrinkle-free skin/ shiny hair/ gorgeous lips or eyelashes- just how stupid do the peddlars of these products take women to be?? Do they think we will be suiatably dazzled by their "new technology" and pentawhatsits, and will be so convinced by the little diagram showing this wonder-drug permeating into our hair/ skin/ whatever that we will rush out and buy their crap? Yeah, cos all women are gullible idiots who are clueless about anything remotely scientific and whose main interest in life is having smooth skin and hair they can swish around gaily DON'T INSULT OUR BLOODY INTELLIGENCE!!

I got a new one now as well. Mr muscle adverts. Its not even an english advert - they've just dubbed over the top and it does't work as they say it works!!

It isn't on now but I hate the Frosties ad, the ''they're going to taste great'' one.

YANBU, crap name, crap tune, Complete moon pig crap!

Agree with all of these. Nicole Kidman Chanel advert is particularly annoying: "I Love to Dance!!" and I really dislike the strange out of focus goofy look she has on her face at the end.

Am unreasonably annoyed by Geordie woman slagging off Petit Filous on behalf of Muller, even though I wouldn't buy either. It just seems sneaky.

If its the babies advert for petit filou...then that geordie voice is i think you'll find, Jill Halfpenny who did Come Dancing and Eastenders!!

anything with kerry katona in it
nicole kidman channel ad
and there was a strange 'no win no fee' type ad on a while ago that featured cartoon animals with work related injuries. obviously cultivating the next comp culture generation.
dogs trust, like the dog'll really write to you, what a joke
moonpig is particularly nasty, though

My most hated current ads are the bizarre Somerfield ones where they try to make you think they're visiting a mate's house. Very weird. When the woman slags off he husband for nor getting the tonic - "oooh what are they like!" (Eh?)and whoever's on the checkout puts everything through the scanner really s - l - o - w - l - y!!!!

I adore this thread. It's the funniest one in ages.

What's that ghastly one that appears, for all the world, to be an avert for Matthew McConnachy's nipples? Is for some sort of depilatory product for chest hair?

Whatever: it's shit.

I had never seen the Ped-Egg one until this afternoon, when my DD's and I were eating our sandwiches. FOOT SHAVINGS for fuck's sake. Gruesome, can you imagin getting one of those for Christmas?!?!

My girls like singing Mooooooooonpig dot coooooooooooom!!!

Kerry Katona and her prawn ring make me . SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP you horrible slapper.

That bloody M&S one with that annoying Erin whatsherface doing that little dance in her pants with Take That there.

Makes me Murderous.

Thank God for the credit crunch as it means I don't have to see the Ocean Finance ads -

The one with the incredibly fat 'real' people - we spent all our money on pies so borrowed some more from these loan sharks!

The one with the idiot 'real' woman 'they don't try to babble you with science' - wtf? They are lending you money at an APPALLINGLY high rate of interest - it's not feckin' science!

And the one that annoys DH immeasurably - where the bloke in the shiny grey suit is walking through the world's longest office talking to the camera and not looking where he's going - he keeps shouting 'STOP WALKING!' at him all the way through the advert.

The current one for Gucci perfume annoys me - love the music for it, but all those women swaying about look absolutely ripped to the tits (but in a 70's, Halston-wearing, Studio 54 kinda stylee so that's ok, isn't it?)!

And don't get me started on Nicole 'I'm a dansah!' Kidman and her horribly immovable forehead....

But the one that drives me INSANE is for the pink toy kitchen and orange workbench thing - it's SOOOOOOOOOOO 'girls bake cakes and boys mend/make things' - wtf? Did we fall through a timewarp into the 50's or something? How did this advert get made? Gaaaah!

Was the Ocean Finance one where, before they borrowed the money they were all in B&W. And then after they'd hocked themselves and their flimsy ex-council house up to the gills their world became full of colour?

I hate that one too.

The sub-text is clearly this: "we think all you poor people are fat and stupid so we're going to show you this tawdry piece of crap that we knocked together in an afternoon using some day-release teenagers doing some sort of spurious media course that will qualify them for nothing more than a life time of disappointments and missed opportunities. And them we'll lend you some cash and eventually we'll sell your house and chuck you and your stupid, fat but gratifying mute family out into the gutter where you clearly belong."

It used to make me a little cross...

I think it was Purple. All these loans companies go in for the subtext - only I think we often read it different to them

Any ad which is dubbed very badly, seem to be for air fresheners or cleaning product.
Cilit bloody Bang "Look, it cleared away my makeup and toothpaste" (shot of filthy sink being wiped clean), just clean it more often you disgusting wench! I really hated it when Barry Scott (if that is his real name) used to shout, at least he's stopped doing that...
