Adverts that irritates you?

Had a TV day today so have some more fuel! Some have already been mentioned but are worthy of another one.

The insurance advert with the people on the train. 'Why don't we reward drivers of small cars/ low mileage/ experienced?' I thought that was the point in insurance, we don't all pay the same depending on the type of car and usage :/

The Kwik Fit (?) one with the stupid annoying kid which needs a slap. 'Can you do anything else?' - Yes I can shut your kid up as you are obviously an unfit mother. Great advert there :rolleyes:

'Laaartht one in the thhea ith a great big luuuthaa' (Last one in the sae is a great big loser said by kid with lisp). 'book a first choice holiday, we have hoards of kids....' err no thanks.

One I can't actually stand to watch is the new lynx ad with the guy with funny eyes. Makes me cringe.
 
Adverts are designed to stick in your head, this thread proves that they work :D
 
The Thomson one that Vix mentioned with the kid with the lisp. He has no front teeth and I find that really, really creepy!

The Staples advert with the kid asking her friend for a pen. It goes on for ages and again the kid has a missing front tooth.

Confused.com and Moonpig are also incredibly annoying!
 
Give me the Muller yoghurt guy tied to a chair plus a chainsaw.

"GOT MY ARMS, GOT MY LEGS" not anymore you don't. :mad:
 
That Muller Little Stars fromage frais advert. You know the ones with the sanctamonious cow sat under a tree with a web of strings that comprise some sort of telephone network. Not really sure what it is that winds me up about it, perhaps the tone of her voice:

"Just a little update mums, Muller Little Stars contain no artif- *NOBODY CARES YOU SMUG, JUMPED UP BINT!!!!*" :mad:
 
I've thought of another one!

The Coke ad where he is on the phone drinking Coke. I HATE that gulping sound people make when they drink, and they make it really loud on this ad. Makes me want to throw things at the TV.
 
That DFS sale advert has been annoying me tonight. Are the ever not having a sale?

Also I'm finding the voice of the guy who does the Sky Sports adverts irritating too.

Even though tv adverts are useless at getting people to buy a product at least it gives someone a job I suppose. And with less and less people actually watching tv at the specified times and instead timeshifting, maybe the advert makers will finally realise they are useless.

If they were useless do you think they would pay thousands to advertise ,they are very effective .

I'm amazed that no one has mentioned the pregnancy test advert yet that states something along the lines of "find out your up the duff 6 before your first missed period!"

i mean HOW THE HECK are you supposed to know that you are going to miss your period 6 days in advance

PUT ON A LOTTERY TICKET IF YOU HAVE THESE POWERS!!!!

You do know that some people actually try to get pregnant, right? Not every baby in the world is a mistake :p People often know in advance if they think they've made a mistake too... Now you don't have to wait until you miss a period to see if you might be pregnant.

Seems quite simple to me :confused:

I'll be eating my dinner in front of the TV when an advert for thrush cream or nappies comes on, instantly removing any appetite I once had.

Also I hate how adverts portray men as blethering idiots, in family/relationship situations.
