Perle-du-lait, what the hell kind of witchcraft is it?

The dowdy woman looking crumpled and grey eating her nasty yogurt suddenly becomes a good foot taller with a smoothly ironed top and a funny light shining from her as soon as she tucks into the good stuff.

Yeah right

I know, if the yoghurt was upsetting her that much, she should have eaten a bar of chocolate instead. Idiot.

ilovesprouts · 25/02/2010 08:15

i know its daft

LoveBeingAMummy · 25/02/2010 08:16

And why would you keep eating somethings that you hate so much?

southeastastra · 25/02/2010 08:21

i hate that croc odour fridge, clean your fridge if it stinks that much!

lottiejenkins · 25/02/2010 08:29

I cant remember what the ads for but the one when the woman is dancing down the street in her underwear,,,,,,,,, and dont get me started on Go Compare...........

EarthMotherImNot · 25/02/2010 08:44

I have to mute the go compare one, if I didn't I'd kick his smug face, I know I would, and, I'd twang that stupid tash til he cried.

I don't like the Tesco mobile top up one - where people are spouting all this "I'd like..." stuff and this smug female comes on saying she'd like people to stop spouting nonsense.... god, the smugness and her voice irritate me.

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 25/02/2010 09:07

The Go Compare one has almost destroyed what little shreds remain of my sanity!! Somehow that song got in my head, and went round and round whilst I was trying to get to sleep. Now I have to fast forward through the ad, or mute it, and look away, because just looking at him brings the tune back.

PersonalClown · 25/02/2010 09:14

The Envirophone gets me. I HAVE to shout Fuck off to the bloke that say in a over exagerrated cockney accent..'Some dosh? Some Wongahhhhhhh?

grrrrrrrrrrr

My pet hate at the moment is the Glade "Pebble" airfreshener. 2 women being fascinated by thier dumb friend's pebble collection? WTF? "...and its from Glade you know"
That's how we silly women spend our day obviously

southeastastra · 25/02/2010 09:19

ha my ds always goes 'so last year' and i want to throttle him

EarthMotherImNot · 25/02/2010 09:29

That Tesco one, the girl at the end sounds so much like Leanne off Coronation Street, it isn't her but the voice is uncannily the same

Quite liked the Perle-du-lait advert
Was interested in the yoghurt too, amazing as most things barely touch me these days [cynical emotion]

BooHooMonkey · 25/02/2010 09:37

I can't even see my TV at the moment. It's hidden behind piles and piles of unwanted gold that I just don't know what to do with. Any suggestions?

WeWantTania · 25/02/2010 09:37

the 'perle-de-lait' and croc odour adverts are very much in the French style (don't know if croc odour is French or not though) - maybe it's irritating because we're not used to that style of ad in the UK?

upahill · 25/02/2010 09:43

Perle-du-lait? women dancing in underwear? Tesco mobile? Envirophone? I am missing some popular culture by the sounds of things, I've never seen these adverts. Are they not on Channel 5?
That Activa one with the ex Eastenders lass in gets on my nerves with her over exgerated, false smile.

I said on a thread yesterday the ad I hate more than any other is the Dulcoease advert where they look like a nest of bitchy vipers suffering from PMT. Especially the lady with the long blond hair. I know I'm being irrationaly but I hate it.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 25/02/2010 09:49

I don't see a lot of telly, but the one I hate above all others has Micheal Winner in it. That and one for ready made rice veg combo's.

DarrellRivers · 25/02/2010 09:51

WWt, yes, i recognised that frenchness and i wanted a piece for myself

kreecherlivesupstairs · 25/02/2010 09:57

And the one where you have to decide which of the attractive silver haired couple are wearing dentures. And the one where the woman needs to open her bowel before a wedding.
I clearly watch more telly than I think.

MrsBadger · 25/02/2010 09:59

perle-du-lait were ion special offer in tesco and I nearly bought them but read the ingredients in time

they are, like, three times as fatty as petit filous.

releasethehounds · 25/02/2010 10:00

WE BUY ANY CAR.COM - there's another thread going on annoying ads atm - this one seems to be a winner!

upahill · 25/02/2010 10:04

Is there a tv ad for 'We buy any car.dot.com' I've not seen it but that jingle gets played a lot on Planet Rock ( I quite like it!)

Dumbledoresgirl · 25/02/2010 10:05

Oh I hate the Dulcoease one too, mainly because of the way the woman mentions her problem in the first place (I forget her wording, but it is so coy). Either you wouldn't mention the problem in the first place, or you would come right out and say, "God, that was a tough crap", not whatever honeyed words she uses.

CathyBurns · 25/02/2010 10:07

oh god that dreadful Dulcoease one "you know, boooowel stuff"

and the Senokot one with the bint going to the premiere, dh and I can't help singing "do a big shit" over the top of "feel happy inside"

OH OH and the ryvita one with the stepford women banging on about making costumes and doing home economics

yes because that's exactly what women do when they have lunch
