I hate that Venus razor ad. 'Reveal the goddess in you'. 'Feel like a goddess everytime you shave'. I almost so clearly see what their creative brainstorm was like:

'So people, what does shaving mean to a woman?'
'Well shaving makes women look better and...oooh....feel better.'
'Yes, they feel so great they feel like a goddess.'
'God yes, that's it, reveal the goddess in you. By george, I think we've got it.'

How about:
'Sick of looking like a hedgehog? Shave with our razor. It's comfy and because it's shaves nice and close, you won't need to do it again for several weeks. Thank god for that because who had time to shave their legs anyway?'

Any others?

Sainabury ad's with Jamie Oliver in.

Why does he/they target women over 35 who should know how cook for a family on a budget fgs.

Kevlarhead - love Charlie Brooker !

Oh yes Freckle! I was shrieking at that advert"

southeastastra · 19/07/2008 18:11

yes the halifax ones, especially the one with the bloke with the warbley voice.

I hate all adverts.

IMO opinion finance/loans ad's are as damaging and dangerous as ad's for junk foods. Celebrities who advertise loan/consolidation companies are a disgrace.
The worst of the worst is the Confused.com TV advert - that is just rubbish!

Churchill with that stupid dog.

Oh yes!

TurkeyLurkey · 03/09/2008 22:34

Agree, confused.com. Utter shite.

FabioFlangeCat · 03/09/2008 22:37

Always.
"Have a happy period."

What wanksock thought of that one?
I am never buying Always again.
Deeply offensive.

Lazarou · 03/09/2008 22:38

That one for baby food jars with the bint going on about goldilocks and the food being too salty and too sugary.

That one with that woman who used to run the NAAAAAIIIILLLL Bar in eastenders talking about yoghurts

Dalrymps · 03/09/2008 22:40

The sofa one where all them really awful people dance to 'I wanna be a rockstar'.

It is soooooooooooo embarassing!

AbbaFan · 03/09/2008 22:53

Birds Eye's 'good mood food' - Bollocks is it!

Tommy · 03/09/2008 23:02

what's all that about with the Nutella advert?

Surely no-one thinks that it is a healthy option?!

AuntyVi · 03/09/2008 23:14

The film adverts on Classic FM, which are (nearly) always in the strongest American drawl I've ever heard... even when the film is totally British and about kings in the 14th century or something, so there's absolutely no reason for it. F*&@wits!

kiddiz · 03/09/2008 23:40

The Huggies nappy one where the baby wees all over the room like a hosepipe and absolutely all adverts on local radio stations

AnnVan · 04/09/2008 00:58

That Orangina ad, with all the sexed-up animals - WTF??
Special K ad with the (perectly skinny) woman hiding from photos - great message.
halifax ads - cringe
Oh, and that baby cereal ad with the goldilocks story - soooo annoying.
Actually have realised I just hate adverts full stop!

FrockHorror · 04/09/2008 01:08

Agree re the Orangina ad. Too freaky for words.

I also hate the Cow and Gate advert with the fake laughs dubbed over the smiley babies. Just sounds wrong.

EyeballsintheSky · 04/09/2008 01:12

In defence of Dervla Kirwan who does the m&s ads, she does actually have a kind of breathy voice so she's not doing it deliberately. She's not doing them any more anyway so you can rest easy

I can't abide that silly tart with her hard stools. Why tf would you tell your mates that at lunch? And DFS ads. As you're always flogging them half price stop making so farking many sofas then!!

FabioFlangeCat · 04/09/2008 01:23

The representation of wimmin in adverts is as realistic as Michael Winner popping up from nowhere next time you zoom through a bus queue saying 'Calm down dear, it's only death by reckless fuckwittage on a crack high' or somesuch.

I mean, who uses the term 'hard stool' over lunch, unless they're referring to the seating?

All ads are shit.
I want Sky Plus.
