Give me a bl**dy break!

This double glazing advert has by far, the most annoying little excuse for a man I've ever seen.
smiley - grr

I think the guy in that advert has some form of learning difficulties.
...Is that ad still on? I gave up TV a year ago! In fact, that ad was one of the reasons I stopped watching the ol' goggle box.

The RAC advert were a man appears from nowhere next to a woman driving a car. And she doesn't look surprised at all!

Similar to the one where three girls come down to the kitchen in the morning, one by one, and there's a random bloke sitting there drinking tea and listening to the radio. They all discuss who's pulled last night, and it's...none of them!

So, instead of calling the police or anything, they all start leering at him...?

Anyone else think the linux ad is a bit creepy? It's reminiscent of the Midwich Cuckoos.

Now there's an awful car one with two little boys talking like pseudo adults, comparing the merits of their vehicles & inadequacies of their families. smiley - yuk

the benylin lady - maybe she farted?

the thing about that ad that REALLY annoys me. All those time wasting f*****s visiting their doctor for a cough and cold? Only go and see him/her if it's really important, people like you are a real drag on the resources of a very stretched national health service!

The Adverts for loans where they say "I saved so much I had enough to have a holiday!".
er, no you didn't you F*****T. you quite clearly still owe the debt collection company money and the money you spent on that un-nessesscary holiday could have gone to pay your loan off quicker.
idiots!

thank christ for someone else that see's those mens razor ads like i do. the blokes using em have NEVER had facial hair in their lives. Ditto for womans depilation products. where are all the woman screaming that it BLOODY hurts! where are all the partners complaining about the horrible soap smell (that's how i can tell in a nightclub if a female has depilated. the soapy smell stinks like old mouldy MOD soap)

90% of people who own a mobile phone DON'T need one.
go on, be honest to yourselves. it's for pose value.
you're either at home or work, and is it so expensive to use a public phone? no, didn't think so.
texting costs more than a voice call? pretentious twat!
then speak to who you're calling.
if you need a camera, buy a camera. if you need text, buy a pager.
freephone calls aren't free on mobiles, why haven't you people complained to your service providers? Those calls used to be free.
someone should try and sue their service provider, it'd an uproar, such bad press and loss on share prices they'd fold faster than a crap poker player.

the new Dove advert uses normal and plus sized models (those woman are stunningly gorgeous!).

Sellotape. Here's a good one then. Their sales slogan used to be
"sellotape makes it better". Now Sellotape alledgely used to be a well known brand of Australian condoms. brings a whole new meaning to that slogan now, eh?

The other fave one was Coca-Cola's slogan "Coke is life". they started selling in china for the 1st time when that slogan was going and when it translated into Mandarin Chinese & back into English it then read "Coke brings your ancestors back from the dead!".

whoops! ya, gotta laugh, eh?

that was an el paso advert, i'm amazed that husband didn't stab that wife. things like that can end badly, not road rage, house rage or tv dinner rage.

bbc digital.
is it legal for them to advertise this service ?
i hate seeing adverts for a digital service over the analouge network, that should be illegal or make em advertise on ITV, channel 4 and channel 5 surely.

I thought that Durex used to be a well known brand of Australian sticky tape smiley - smiley

A bit more information about the Pepsi 'Brings your ancestors back from the dead' slogan is here, though: http://www.snopes.com/business/misxlate/ancestor.asp

BT ads where people are explaining why they came back to BT from the company that was previously extorting them. Talk about Cut and Paste!

The ads that annoy me are for Oil of olay etc that make you 'look younger'. the models are only 22 years old for gods sake, no wonder they look young.
