The one that's annoying me at the moment is the McDonalds one where the Mum and Dad and little girl are in Maccy D's, and the Mum lobs little girls's toy rabbit on the floor so that Dad bends down to retrieve it (Mum then nicks his chicken whatever it is.)

I really hate it when she says "help me out here Rob, just trying to be a parent."

It makes me want to slap her in the face with her Big Mac.

My long standing advert that I hate is still being screened, quite an old one, where the little boy is on the toilet, and the touch 'n' fresh has run out and he yells for his Mum. Why the advertisers feel that we need to see this kid sitting on the carsey, I don't know.

God yes, Jane Fonda looks (and sounds) about 90!

Michael Winner on the ESure ad. Esp since, when I'm wound up with dh he now says "Calm down, Dear, it's only a commercial" . AAAGH!

"Ooh Jenny, woops I nearly dropped the phone! This Felix looks really different - sort of meaty flakes - it looks really home-made..."

W T F !!!

The one about diarrhoea which starts "When you woke up this morning you had a choice". Mmm - stay home or shit my pants at work?

And that menopause-product advert that says 'Life's full of choices". Yeah, right.

And all those ones that say things like "Bloated? Just try eating one Fibroyog every day for a week". FFS.

But, if you want to make the ads more enjoyable .. DH and I play the "ad game". Sod putting the kettle on/going to the loo, stay and compete to "name the ad" first. Adverts emblazoned with the company name from the beginning do not count!

We used to go out. Now we have children and have to make our own entertainment!

showofhands ... you read my mind

Bloody Picture loans, the old one with the fat bloke who looks like he barely managed to get off the sofa never mind play football and whispers to wife 'how much £25k' in stupid stage whisper, I mean who doesnt know this stuff before they phone for a loan ...grrr.

The new one is almost as bad but I have to cut her some slack for being a geordie, but its not very realistic I normally shout 'FOR GODS SAKE IM ON THE PHONE CAN YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP FOR FIVE MINUTES' .... then 'sorry did you say £25k ooh thats much less than I'm paying now'

Vauxhall Zafira/Meriva 'oooh they're tired' - I think I saw it too many times.

Howard from Halifax

Churchill (oooooohhh yes)
Diamond
Sheila's Wheels (I see a theme emerging here...)

You buy one, get one free, I say you buy one...

Agree with previous posters about AA ad skipping beats - WHY?????????

I'm sure there are many more...

slight tangent - I remember an advert for tip-top cream from the 70's. It was fruit salad in a bowl and a piece of pineapple said to a piece of orange "ooh be gentle with the topping"
The orange said "don't drown my flavour"
pineapple: "If only it could be nestle tip-top?"
Then all of the fruit salad shouted "It is tip-top"
I just wanted to share that this totally useless piece of information has been clogging my brain all these years

mosschops30 · 09/03/2007 22:46

stressteddy you must get out more but I remember that advert like it was yesterday

saw one for the first time tonight: stretch marks ruined her life, she thought people would think less of her and she obsessed all day about what to wear to cover them up..... Buy baggy jumpers like the rest of us!

mosschops30 · 09/03/2007 22:52

TRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

TRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

god I hated that girl

trixymalixy · 09/03/2007 22:52

Another vote for picture loans and the wee boy on the toilet.

I also hate that weight watchers one " I'm gooorrrgeooous!"

puffling · 09/03/2007 22:59

'Does searching for car insurance drive you crazy ........ you could save a bundle.'
They used to have a shouty man who was crap, then they changed to these sub drama school idiots like the girl with the scarf in a big bow and trousers too short.
Also Picture Loans of course. Football and Geordie families both have impossibly posh houses and I hate the Geordie woman going, 'Ar wuz cawlin' abbowt a loon,'
Danone Activia - give it a fair try, it's like a dessert- Eat yoghurt, it's the same.
Pentapeptides woman, why advertise that your surname's Baggott
The miserable people standing in the rain saying, 'Where do I go for a loan?'

However, I'm ashamed to say I do like mastication for the nation

HATE the Zafira ads, with the 'adult kids'

WinnieThePooh · 09/03/2007 23:49

the 118 118 adversts get on my nerves.

MarsLady · 09/03/2007 23:57

The second and third Trident Gum ads.

Hate those "Jim Davidson type" Chalkie accents. Fired off a complaint to the ASA (got a reply too... many complained).
