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 was going to add the "wash it with febreze!" commercial as thought i'd be first to mention it but kelly2525 got there first! Yes, this recent one with the inanely grinning mother and her twin sons who are going to collect Grandma from somewhere is hugely irritating. How can someone get that excited about a deodorising product?

I have been chuckling inanely myself sitting reading everyone's posts. DH is looking Hmm wondering what the hell is so funny.

Perle-du-lait also intensely irritating, something about that woman's face and sing song french accent does me in...

"I want to do a poo at Paul's". Who the hell dreamt that one up?

Totally agree about rubbish Halifax commercials, just embarrassing for all concerned.

LOLs this thread, keep them coming!

Bloody Martine Sodding McCutcheon doing that fecking silly little skip in the first Actvia pooghurt ad.

Poo at Paul's redone

John Lydon (former patriarch of all things anti-establishment) flogging butter. Fucking selling butter! WTF?!

It's probably best that I head off now for some vino before I get all ranty about the shitty Aviva cack and Iggy Pop selling me insurance? Let's not go there, my blood pressure just shot up!

I can't watch the Halifax ones. They make me want to smash windows. Is everyone who works there that inane? I'm going to HAVE to move my account...

lifeas3plus1 · 16/08/2010 22:08

I was linked this after the "have a happy period" ad.

Thought it was quite funny! Grin

Yankncock Argh - Wonga man! And the 'Coo-ul' punky looking bloke.

But my ultimate hate at the moment is the 'Debt Free Direct' one, where there's a bloke (not bad looking, admittedly) doing a variety of serious looking faces at different camera angles whilst someone else does a voiceover as if it was his thoughts.

I've not seen the fucking 'Primescratchcards.com' one for a week or two though, more like 'scratchyoureyesandearsuntiltheybleed.com' Hmm

Not sure if it's still on, but there used to be an ad for eardrops which featured a giant lump of simulated earwax revolving slowly, looking like an alien spaceship from a low budget sci-fi film...it used to be on in the "Countdown" ad breaks.

Oh, and anything for tampons / sanitary towels which features lithe young women in tight white jeans leaping around spring meadows - no sign of zits / bloating / PMT... Envy

Iggy Fucking Pop selling car insurance?!! WTF??? I used to have a picture of his penis on my wall FFS. That ad makes me cry for my lost youth and his lost dignity.

And the washing powder soap ad crap with Dr Legg in it. He's such a sweetie and I hate that bimbo from Brookie batting her eyelids at him, it's so cringey.

i hate the cheryl cole adverts fake teeth fake hair ever changing accent enhanced in post production and the super smug were soooo worth it , its the same for all the movie stars singers and supermodels advertising these products do they really expect us to believe that cheryl cole washes her thousand pound extensions with a two pound bottle of shampoo? or that eva longoria dyes her hair with a five pound hair dye? rant over im going to have a biter lemon perle du lait to cure my bitterness lol
