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 love the shit-quick ones, they always make me laugh...I htink it's the names the Pharma companies come up with..

TrillianAstra · 25/02/2010 10:10

The Tesco mobile one is annoying because, although I agree that I want people to stop spouting crap about the world all being one harmonious conversation, by the time it gets to the 'stop spouting crap' part it has already annoyed me. It's too late!

releasethehounds · 25/02/2010 10:16

Oh yes - the we buy any car.com one is on the radio and the TV. The TV version comes with a little dance as well (snigger).

crankytwanky · 25/02/2010 10:17

Oh, yes, the pebble one,coca!

If a friend started showing me her collection of artfully arranged rocks, I'm afraid I'd have to take the largest one and cave her smug skull in with it.

When my sister was studying geology she wasn't even that banal.

TheSmallClanger · 25/02/2010 10:18

All the magic yoghurt ads that go on about "bloating". It's WIND fgs. You need to FART.

Species8472 · 25/02/2010 10:27

Oh yes upahill the We Buy Any Car tv advert is great! Annoying, but I find it oddly entertaining...Is basically a load of loons doing 'street' dance moves to that crappy jingle. 7m DD likes it when I sing it to her!

nickytwotimes · 25/02/2010 10:30

Oh, just reading the thread title made theat bloody GO COmpare tune start up in my head.

All yogurt ads are annoying.

Yes, FART!

And as for the euphamism 'slow digestive transit'.

EarthMotherImNot · 25/02/2010 10:54

Does anyone else think the "we buy any car" advert was tailor made for jedward. Can't understand why they aren't doing it.

I need to get out more don't I

I thought this would be about 'have a happy period' To which I always mutter a deathly 'oh fuck off'

Triggles · 25/02/2010 11:44

pmsl oh yes the "have a happy period" ones are a bit condescending, aren't they? I can only think that a male thought that one up...

GetOrfMoiLand · 25/02/2010 11:50

I am now singing webuyanycar.com over and over and over. So thanks for that!

That perle du lait one does my swede in. OOOh it's a sour yoghurt. So take the sourness out in some magical process, then add some sourness back in with lemon flavor.

Cash my fucking gold. Dale Winton. Why?

GetOrfMoiLand · 25/02/2010 11:51

ooh ooh Martine McBASTRADCutcheon with her Activia youghurts.

With bifidus digestivum.

Piss off back to wherever you have been for the last 6 years, Martine. Please.

SinginHinny · 25/02/2010 11:58

GetOrfMoiLand Those Dale W ads make me shudder, he's so gaunt, so over-made-up.

BariatricObama · 25/02/2010 12:01

i hate any add with women talking about 'bloated' feelings. really, where is their self respect?

SinginHinny · 25/02/2010 12:01

Martine is such a bad actress that she can't even pretend to eat the yoghurt. I screech like a harridan every time that ad comes on screen

TulipsInTheRain · 25/02/2010 12:02

ds1 is obsessed with the Mattress Man ads.... i worry about him

The always ad always annoy me..... yes i'm sure it can absorb a whole cup of water...... it's the coagulated blood that's the fucking problem you morons

and why is it always mournful looking women who either can't shit or can't stop shitting.... do men not get constipated or the runs?

SinginHinny · 25/02/2010 12:07

Ooh and in the ads about drinking too much, why is the man in the pub and fairly sober, but the woman is in a kitchen and she sounds pissed at the end of the ad

She's probably constipated, bloated and having a happy period

GetOrfMoiLand · 25/02/2010 12:17

I know - she shoves the youghurt in her mouth and smiles inanely. I hate hate hate it.

DP's most hated ad is the Cheryl Cole loreal one. He says 'shuddup' every time she comes on.

SinginHinny · 25/02/2010 12:23

me and the DDs do appalling Geordie accents for the l''oreal ones

'Cmon guurls let's saaay it'

We live in Teesside so have vaguely similar accents (but better obviously)

You've reminded me - all those hair product/mascara ads 'enhanced in post-production'

GetOrfMoiLand · 25/02/2010 12:26

Then she blinks sexily into the camera

'because yewer werth it'

Argh!!

Lol at 'our accents are better'

I used to work with a gilr from Sunderland. If anyone called her a Geordie she'd go mad.

upahill · 25/02/2010 12:27

I KNOW!!!!!!! The advert I hate more than anything is the Halifax one when they are in the radio studio and totally stupid things are happening that aren't even sureal or funny eg the horn thing. Horrible, pointless and DS always puts the mute button on!

SinginHinny · 25/02/2010 12:30
Grin
SinginHinny · 25/02/2010 12:33

Those Halifax ones really do make me want to nut the tv. It's the 'Smooooth radio' pointy fingers, gurning and head-bobbin'

Antdamm · 25/02/2010 12:40

The rock one does my nut in 'Its from Glade you know' - of course its from bloody glade, who else makes up these moronic cheesy cringeworthy ads that make me scream and chuck the remotes at the tv????

And breathe

Antdamm · 25/02/2010 12:41

'weak, limpless, lifeless' - bit like her acting and singing
