Annoying Ads

if the ad's on between 'White Chappell' the other night are anything to go
by are obsessed with wrinkles, the colour of their hair and their bowel
movements?


wassss all that about then?


Actimel anyone?

I think the idea of selective advertising is good. Shame it's ruined by the complete idiots who decide the target demographic. I saw adverts for anti wrinkle cream and sanitary towels during some Worlds scariest police chases thingy.

EDIT: Wait a second! You're a shark, why are you watching TV??!

there was blood in it....... I likes blood

I have to say I did have a little chuckle when I went to bed... for some reason I had a vission of a group of Womens Institute members all stood round comparing who had the smoothest poo and the loveliest hair (inna blue rince stylie)

I doubt there are many adverts aimed at sharks. Except maybe Colgate ads...

I don't watch TV because I am so annoyed by the advertisings which are in Germany mostly horrible stupid.
And I get annoyed enough when I go through a chemist's shop and see only deodorants for "nice soft armpits" but no deodorant which does not leave any white marks on my shirt!!
Brainwashed ladyshave junkies...
Hairy women unite!! (and this says one who is at the moment bald of medical reasons... )

Mmm. It's a bit like the ads for Coco Pops during CSI. I mean, who are they aimed at???
Also, ads for sanitary towels drive me mad! " For a HAPPY period use ..." WTF ???
Honestly! I don't know any woman who enjoys that part of her life!


Sorry. Rant over...

Nice rant. Have a cookie.

I don't s'pose there's that many would be happy to broadcast to the nation that they suffer from hard poo's


they also have fantastic hair mind, and their foreheads hardly crease at all as they're straining one out

Why thank you! Feeling much better now!

Re: those cardboard-smooth faces - Well, I have laughter lines around my eyes but I don't mind them. They are Laughter lines. You know: from Laughing! They just show I am a happy little camper. Why hide it?

I tell you what I can't stand... The 'JML' type ads that go on for 7 minutes repeating the phone number over and over again. It makes out that there's some sort of stuperb offer by saying that not only are you getting x, but also y z a b c d e f g h i and j all free with this amazing one off deal (even though the ad is on all year round, and has been for the last 3 and a half years). hmmmm

lol we should really change the name of this thread to: Annoying Commercials

the thing that gets me is these ads are s'posed to be life like.... hmmmm if I opened my fridge to get a nutritious and delicious natural yogurt that happened to make my bowel movements a shear pleasure to behold and there was a camera man in there, there's every chance I'd schit myself where I stood

specially as he'd probably be froze to death

Take it from me I dont know any blokes who do either

I guess so!

I've put up with 118s crappy ads for years now, but they have finally crossed the line by blatantly ripping off Magical Trevor. The theme tune and even the animation style is identical. I wonder if they have hired the original creator...

I'm sure anyone who isn't English doesn't have the foggiest idea what I'm on about, and half of those who are English are equally clueless, but hey, I like ranting...and starting threads...

Yer a man after me own heart, Dabamash.

Those adverts have got me on the verge of lashing out, and I'm a peacable man...

Is it about ringtones and videos for those annoying stuff? They unfortunatelly exist everywhere!

Ha ha ha! I actually like it, but, like MT, it gets stuck in my head!

Nah, it's a phone service that basically gives you any information that you want...like phone google.

I'd hope so. The whole campaign set-up reminds me of Joel Veitch doing his brilliantly surreal animations for a web audience, then getting hired by a certain milk shake concentrate company to (ironically) recreate his take on Elbow's Independent Woman cover to advertise their product. Some of you'll remember it?

Getting back to the 118 ad, I always end up thinking of Mrs MT when I see the busy angel on the cloud at the end.

It could become a cult, it sticks in your head and drives you mad, its Grooving with Mr Bloe ( hey one for the teenagers) for the X factor generation

Oh Dear God! - I hope it's not me - I'm only 46 going on 24 and not that wrinkly yet......

I can beat that one ticky
