Irritating Ads

[Neil Jones]

Irritating:

"Hey up, new neighbours. Suppose we'd better say 'ello" has come back again with its subsequent end-of-break follow-up.

Carol Vorderman in any First Plus advert and any other advert she's done.

The advert that starts with "Have you been injured?" with the man who looks like he's been hit in the face with a saucepan. Think it had the irritating "PI Helpline" jingle on it previously.

Dad's Pants = Vimto advert. Plus its all over YouTube too.

"Cleaner Close - episode X".

Not Irritating:

Citroen adverts as they're pretty good.

James Nesbit adverts. Loved the earlier one with "I know this has got nothing to do with you but my sister is waiting outside and I want her to think you did it".

Think that's about it.

And while I've just seen it - I'm not keen on the Crunchy Nut campaign, either.

I get it - but the one with the man riding the large dog just isn't good enough. It looks wrong in some bits - not conceptually, but in execution.

The bip-bip-bip soundtrack knaws at my conciousness.

Its giving me an ulcer.

Speaking of disclaimers...

"Do not ride your own dog at home".

FICTIONALISATION: Pebl is not water resistant.

oh i LOVE that strap - it's just sooo poor.

It was not on the origional advert - Someone must have throught they could skip a Mobile phone over the water.

nonetheless, that woman with the screen's voice makes me laugh. a lot.

There are only three ad campaigns at the moment which I like

The Becks ad; takes a few views to realise how great and effective the mixture of animation and live action is. Great soundtrack by the Flaming Lips too.

I nominate the Becks ad to be one of my favourite. A marionette, cartoon, clayman and a real person all dancing together to some of the best music I've heard so far. I've seen a parody of this advert on Challenge where Les Dennis, Tom Wier and Jim Bowen are all in triplicate dancing to the same music in sync to promote the 'Threesome' schedule that's coming up soon.

Oh and i hate all Lynx adverts. That stuff is wretched, i hate it when a bloke has washed in that stuff as i stink for ages after cutting their hair.

That sounds really weird! But it lingers for ages.

Irritating:

"Hey up, new neighbours. Suppose we'd better say 'ello"

Grrrrr! That one drives me nuts!

If I hear "Sat Nav. Keeps 'em out of trouble." one more time, the results may be a lot of broken car windows at my local Vauxhall garage in an entirely co-incidental and unrelated incident.

Any Governmental advertising carried out under the auspices of our great, non-ceasefire-calling God of a Prime Minister.

Anyone remember those faintly ridiculous "what to do in an emergency" adverts and booklet last year?

Please, Tony, go now, and take the rest of the fuckwits with you.

Anyone remember those faintly ridiculous "what to do in an emergency" adverts and booklet last year?

These ones?

[scottishtv]

Anyone remember those faintly ridiculous "what to do in an emergency" adverts and booklet last year?

I remember the theme of the whole booklet being "Go in, Stay in, Tune in" then you turn over the page, and the fire safety officer says "Get out, Stay out, Get the Fire Brigade out."

Hoff Pipex - fun to see the first time, probably will be irritating for ever after:
