All those adverts for finance like Ocean Finance etc , they make my blood curdle.

Has anybody seen that advert for the new Jaguar. Thats mans voice makes me go all funny !

Just watch, i bet hes is about 80 years old, lol. Also love the advert for the Aldi, its comes at you like a black widow.

Better add all loan adverts along with Ocean Finance Jimmi. They are just out to rob people not help them.

I used to love the Smash adverts and the old Carling Black Label ones.

The dancing car advert is brilliant and the Sheila's Wheels ads are catchy (although not one of those lasses has their hands on the steering wheel in the driving scene). No wonder they need insurance

Most adverts bug me Cillit Bang bugs me....... The stuff will strip all of the grease and muck from your oven, bath and a penny, but the actors don't use gloves. Any advert for cleaning products makes me shudder. I also hate the adverts for various foods which try to make them sound more scientific by using made up words 'bifidus digestivum' my @rse..... People who actually eat and drink these things are normally bowel obsessed and bring the problems on themselves... Scientific sounding beauty products also get on my pip....... There's nothing short of a face and body transplant going to sort out my fine lines....

Car Insurance ad's have some of the worst on TV - just hearing "Calm Down, It's only a commercial" makes my blood boil! Also, the ones with the dog named Lucky - they should either control the dog or have it put down!

Can't think of any really goods one at the moment - even when good ones come along they over use them & they turn annoying anyway.

the amount of adverts that offer you loans amazes me,they make it apear that they will cure all your problems when all they realy want ,is for you to get in debt so deep that they can take your house off you..i feel that Carol Vorderman ought to know better...

.................................................. .............
Every time i hear the new halifax advert i think of Ray Stevens who sung (The Streak) singing Minnie the Moocher .............we had some good laughs with that years ago...

Isn't it funny how all the 'loan' adverts pop up just after Christmas?

The 1st Tango ones were the best for me, remember the one that got banned? "you've been tango'd" when the fat orange guy slapped someones head with both hands, kids were doing it and causing burst hear drums so they banned it, the look on the guys face after was amazing!

I dont like adverts much but the worst ones are.
The Insurance ones.
The best were:-
Smash.
PG tips.
Sheila's wheels.
Baby Ads.

And Why Not · 11-02-2006, 23:25

I can't stand all the finance ads, Norton,credit cards etc agree with the guy about Sheila's Wheels. and yes the dancing Citreon . The Yellow pages is ok with yer man asking for Dog trainers

harwood red · 11-02-2006, 23:29

don't tend to watch many ads as I find I usually jump up and start doing something before I forget!!!!!! I think thats why I tend to avoid the BBC

do you agree with me that the little boy in the cot has now grown into the older boy....same sad face...either its blinking good acting or there is something sadly wrong with the system,or its his older brother...(.not meaning to be nasty in any way

Decided to add the new Velvet toilet roll one to the list. It is bonkers trying to have a 2 year old convince us that 3 ply toilet roll is good for the bum.
