Adverts that irritate and entertain

You're 15, not quite a kid like they are.

Oh god, the Coop money adverts are so annoying, with the kids shouting "Money money money money MONEY!" at the end. Heard it about 15 times yesterday, got on my nerves so badly.

Really, the way it fades in creeps me out

I'm a kid (apparantly, I much prefer young adult or teenager), and my Midlands accent isn't annoying.

Depends which part of the Midlands! I'm from a slightly posher bit of Staffordshire and thank god I never grew up with the more common local accent.

East Midlands, more specifically Nottingham. Don't live there anymore, though. Bummer.

I got this email from Littlewoods today: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b366/ ... lwoods.jpg

I'm sure people are falling over themselves to download it.

Zyliss Multipeeler. Genius commercial, although it will probably grow tiresome quickly.
I also quite like the new tacky JML commercials. It's good to see that they've stopped taking themselves too seriously!

They've taken this to ridiculous new levels now.

I saw the complete version of the ad where the lady seems to be talking to a friend, blah blahing about how tough her day was.

Friend says, "Have you eaten yet?"

She says, "Ha, no time to think about food... oooh my feet hurt"

Friend says, "Come on, lets find you something for dinner".

Camera pans out to reveal the 'friend' is a Somerfield member of staff and walks down the aisle of the supermarket personally assisting the lady in her choice of ready meals.

My arse!

Perhaps we should all try to explain how tough our day has been and ask for some snack suggestions. I wonder how much empathy we would actually get.

Windows Vista.

"I'm a pissy! I'm a pissy! Pissy pissy pissy pissy pissy!"

Ugh.
