Why on earth would the makers of the Harvester advert think it would improve it by adding in another dreadful child ?

Same as Ikea and creepy dolls and Muller yogurts getting Nicole Shitsinger to use the world Mullerlicious

Because they are obviously high

I have to mute the Go Compare advert. They've gone from annoying, to shit, to annoying and shit.

I also have to mute that advert about shoes (can't remember specifically what it's for) where it's the two women looking at the computer screen saying shit like "do it again girl!" and "oh no they didn't!" It actually makes me so, so stabby.

Futterby · 23/07/2013 00:18

Oh, and the Perle de Lait (or whatever it's called) where the girl eats some yogurt and it straightens her hair. Fucking magic yogurt.

I watch far too much telly.

I hate ALL EHarmony adverts! The body language is so over the top and doesn't fit with what the (obvious) actor is saying. Oh and the Sky Go adverts...'so, me and me mate were fishing...'

The new Go Compare ads actually make me smile...guilty pleasure.

Futterby · 23/07/2013 00:23

It's specifically the bit where the guy on the keyboard goes "just got chills" that makes me want to throw something large and heavy at the screen.

The tena lady ones make me beyond angry. And the cuprinol one were the shed was a baby. Makes me scared annoyed

What the fuck is Al Pacino doing on a Sky advert, it's not like he needs the money ffs. I'm angry and disappointed.

Floralnomad · 23/07/2013 00:28

The worst Sky ad was the one with Ruth Jones and Robert Lindsey !

God yes, the secret escapes advert.

YellowJug · 23/07/2013 00:36

Not TV, radio, but

DRIVE LIKE A GIRL!!

2Retts · 23/07/2013 01:23

Now that made me laugh Futterby...step away from the large and heavy objects!

I think the general concensus is that Sky definitely need a new agency.

DesperateHousewife21 · 24/07/2013 07:18

The WORST advert I've ever seen has to go to the new meerkat one where Robert Webb and Meerkat are playing the piano and singing that god awful song and it goes on forever! I turn the tv over when that comes on it makes me v stabby.

ppeatfruit · 24/07/2013 10:35

Oh those Tena lady ones FFS"i'm wearing such a nice old fashioned dress I can't pull it up and sit on the bog I'll just piss meself!!!!!!"

Blimey I mute most of the ads but there's one that makes me want to ring the ASA and stab the TV ; it's the effing nutella one that just 'misses out' the largest ingredient of all SUGAR!!!!! and they try to pretend it's healthy!!!!!!Shock

xigris · 24/07/2013 10:41

Don't forget bloody Kate in the bloody nice and easy Clairol hair dye advert. It's the teeth itchingly smug one with the 'husband' twatting on about how after a house move, two newborns (WTF) Kate still looks "well, like Kate!" Hoo-bloody-rah. There have been threads purely dedicated to this advert iirc. Grin

xigris · 24/07/2013 10:43

Oh and the Galaxy adverts where the girl finds her hidden chocolate in a box under her bed. She looks like some sort of weird girl / moth hybrid

ppeatfruit · 24/07/2013 11:28

All those new car ones where there's not another car on the road (they've been doing that for so long you'd think they might realise that a new car doesn't REMOVE all the other cars from the roads ;it's ANOTHER effing car FGS!!!!!!)

ppeatfruit · 24/07/2013 20:40

OMG I just saw one of the many gambling (bingo) adverts Shock Shock what TF does Barbara Windsor think she's doing?????? They are vile and what they represent is worse (vom) emoticom.

Sparklingbrook · 24/07/2013 20:43

Fiona thingy and her postcode lottery. Confused

The Santander ones with Jensen Button.

officelady · 24/07/2013 20:51

Totally the wrong thread for this comment but not worth starting a new one ... in my house we REJOICE at the slightly subversive adverts that seem all nicey nicey but does anyone actually LISTEN to them properly ...
We've had "half price ladyboy sofas" at DFS
"Monkey Street" at Morrisons
and our current fave, the Boots advert - "half price holiday bollocks"
I swear to god. Listen. They are laughing in our faces, people!!!

FunnyLittleFrog · 24/07/2013 20:55

MY NAME'S BARRY SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WetAugust · 24/07/2013 21:18

The Ask Victor one with the man in drag

The hair dye one with the Big Brother presenter who I think is too old and doesn't have sufficiently high forehead for a fringe

The Jessica Ennis and other Olympic/sports people giving you another 1% if someone gets lucky at golf.

glamourousgranny42 · 24/07/2013 22:01

Yy perle de lait- she obviously uses it as hair conditioner

Hate the new meerkat one with alec armstrong

All car adverts

Chair worthy hair! Wtf!

The wierd people in the Lloyds advert. Beaky uuugh

ppeatfruit · 25/07/2013 06:05

glamourous it might have some value as hair conditioner!!

kasterborous · 25/07/2013 17:27

SP Grin at Shitsinger! I hate that advert too, and I bet she never eats those yogurts.
