Most infuriating advertising slogan or tag line

Their little flourish always looked on the phallic side to me.

Not one the infuriates me but i found odd was one on the side of a large company van for a paper company.

"Saves the day more times than Lassie!" with a huge picture of a border collie.

Firstly it didn't make sense for a paper delivery company and i would think anyone over the age of 35 wouldn't know who Lassie is!
 
Anything with singing, dancing, anthropomorphic personifications and butchering classic songs with **** lyrics.

  • Go Compare
  • Confuse.com
  • Compare the Market
  • Bank switching service
  • Flash with that singing dog

    :mad:
 
I found it hard to think of something although i likely have a long list at the back of my mind, i hate adverts and they way they are rammed into our lives, we have to endure them until we die, no getting away from this horrid culture.

Anyhoo my major annoyance is the chris evans show, someone thinks its amusing to play the tarzan yodel every morning after 6,30am, they have been doing this for years. My god find something more original. The jingles are not much better, probably just as annoying as advert slogans. I thought they could be a bit more original and come up with new things. :(

years ago i loved evans, now he is just irritating and on tv too much, top gear was a joke.
 
Balls, you got me thinking now. Another one is foreign companies using their language / accent to advertise their products as if what they do is the best. "Vorsprung durch technik" is probably the worst. They even pronounce the German words in English. Same with Ikea and that bloody accent. Whilst we're on the topic of Ikea, they had an ad on TV up until recently in which a girl was singing. The song sounded like a drunken cat inside a washing machine being flung down a spiral staircase. It was like nails on a chalkboard to me.
 
Not slogans or tag lines per say but;

My hatred of 'Go Compare' adverts stretches to the point where I would even pay extra for any insurance as long as it has nothing to do with the site. I actively avoid Go Compare due to their adverts.

Money supermarket ads. The builder and the bloke in skinny denim shorts weren't funny the first time round, now they're just flogging a dead horse.

All adverts for Women's sanitary products, do these really need advertising?

Supermarket adverts for insignificant deals. Onions are 29p at Lidl this week as opposed to the standard 45p, great IDGAF.

Finally the Tesco family ads which are neither funny or clever and James Martin as the most wooden man on TV plugging ASDA's BBQ range, cringe.

Click to expand...

yep, garbage.
also those ****** meerkats.
and from way back, the Shake'nVac ad.

i always tape my progs so i FFWD through everything, on occassion though, setting up the recorder etc, the TV is on an ad break and it's been my misfortune to see some. they fully reinfoce my thought that they should all be rounded up and burned alive.
 
Most adverts annoy me but there was one which had me in stitches years ago and amuses me to this very day. It was for "Obsession" by Calvin Klein. Specifically, the men's version. It featured the wonderful line "Calvin Klein's Obsession for Men". To me it always seemed like an incomplete sentence that probably should have ended with something like "... got him 5 years in prison". :D

Two other faves:
Crusha gym kittens. Just so wonderfuly oddball.

Wall's sausages. I still quote this regularly.
