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

The Sheila's wheels ones. They incite violence.

Antdamm · 25/02/2010 12:42

obviously meant 'weak, limp, lifeless'

Antdamm · 25/02/2010 12:44

That go compare one with the wife that says 'what are the insurance costs going to be on that thing' then the twatty man comes on and sings a pie of pish. Then she leans towards the husband and says 'good sound system' WHY?!?!?!?!

Its the twatty man that is singing, not the fucking car. It gives you no indication what the sound system is like in the car!!! drives me mental

Antdamm · 25/02/2010 12:47

Those damn car spotter ones are quite bad. I mean who needs to know how much someone else's car is worth??? Unless....

Car Spotter : ?Want to know how much you can get for this car after you nick it?? Then text us now!?

Antdamm · 25/02/2010 12:48

I should stop now, i'm annoying myself. Must gp pick up DS from school.

trixie123 · 25/02/2010 13:10

glad its not just me that mutes the go compare ads. How can the compare the meerkats ones be so brilliant and these so utterly shit and annoying?Also hate the envirophone one, especially the bit with oh so sweet girlie saying "and its good for the environment". Its the downside of being at home all day and I am one of those people who always has the TV on as "background" - though now DS is nearly 7 months I may have to stop watching buffy - not sure its suitable!!

ilovesprouts · 25/02/2010 13:23

oh them bloody cash for gold adverts aaaaah hate them

Rockbird · 25/02/2010 13:24

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

I have a croc odour fridge thingy. It does fuck all...

LimburgseVlaai · 25/02/2010 13:33

We have to mute the Churchill "Ooooh yess!" ads, otherwise DH is in a grump for the rest of the evening.

AshleyFanjo · 25/02/2010 13:34

Thank God somebody mentioned that hideous Martine McCutcheon - what idiot thought she would be the best personality to inspire our lifestyle choices.

I turn the tv over when that ad comes on as I simply cannot bear her and i wouldn't buy the product on principal that she is paid to represent it.

I refused to buy a Flake while Joss Stone was endorsing it.

And the same goes for the Cheryl Tweedy loreal elvive ads.

Reading through my post I acknowledge that I am coming across as a little odd.

AshleyFanjo · 25/02/2010 13:36

compare the meerkat dot com

AshleyFanjo · 25/02/2010 13:37

I am also creeped out by the toilet role ads that have a baby as its chief exec - I think its double velvet or something.

LimburgseVlaai · 25/02/2010 13:37

And why is it only ever women who feel 'bloated'? Do men never fart? Eh? Do men never take to the loo for hours at a time?

Iklboo · 25/02/2010 13:46

'weak, limp, lifeless - that was wor Ashley on the carpet this morning when I finished with him'

Me & DH make up our own

'Grapes-be-gone' pile cream is our current favourite

Lexilicious · 25/02/2010 13:48

I get annoyed by the American Express ad on the radio (the idea is that purchases of little things mount up) - but who spends £3k a year on biros??

TulipsInTheRain · 25/02/2010 14:17

Ashley.... that ad makes my skin crawl.... dp thinks it's hilarious but that baby is just plain weird.

Oh and that stupid child who throws a wobbley because he wants to go shit in his friends house... i mean wtf?

all Glade ads make me mad but that new one with the stepford wives admiring the rock collection is possibly grounds for the execution of whatever idiot ad executive came up with it.

Maleeka · 25/02/2010 14:21

The only good thing about the Tesco mobile touchy feely "i wanna live in a world with curly swirls of loveliness" is the fact that right at the end, I get to hear David Tennants gorgeous voice

swanandduck · 25/02/2010 14:29

Marine McCutcheon and her 'tummy loving care' ads for Activia drive me mad.

crankytwanky · 25/02/2010 15:49

Is "I want to do a poo at Paul's" just too obvious?

I said that to DH once, for no particular reason and he was
Turns out he'd never seen the ad!

cyteen · 25/02/2010 15:58

"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?"

Yes, but they're all down the pub discussing it loudly and openly over a round of WKDs.

JollyPirate · 25/02/2010 16:04

Cash My Gold and Go Compare Aggghhhhhhhhh! I fucking hate both ads. The "Go Compare" man is a Welsh Tenor name of Wynne Evans. He is singing at Leeds Castle in Kent this year if anyone is interested From what I've heard he is a very very nice guy - what on earth possessed him to make the UK's most hated ad I don't know.

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 25/02/2010 17:05

Argghhhhhh!! I've just seen another - the Oven Pride advert with the tagline 'so easy even a man can do it '

I've said this before on other threads about the 'poo at Paul's' ad....

My hometown in Wisconsin is the global headquarters of SC Johnson & Son, makers of Glade. I'm going for a visit in April. Who dares me to go up to the family mansion and ask if I can take a dump?

That stupid woman dancing in the pink stripey pants....arrgghhh...will be stuck in my head until I can remember the name of the product...

Cheryl Cole 'limp, lifeless'....without sounding too homicidal, that's how I'd like her to be every time that fecking advert comes on.
