What adverts do you hate?

Post by grim_tales »

What TV ads do you find really annoying? :D

I hate those GAP ads with that perky woman dancing (I enjoy being a.. Girl! etc..), and those Walls sausages ads annoy me too. :evil:

And surely McDonalds "Tasty Food" as advertised on some of their ads is a misnomer? :? :P

I also hate the fact BBC/ITV run so many trailers for their own shows :(

I also hate that bloody Crazy Frog!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: Why would anyone want that fooking Crazy Frog on their mobile when he's on every ad break!! :D

Grim this is a TV topic, please stop posting everything in "anything goes"!

I usually love GAP ads (and Lynx too) but I can't remember the one you mean. That Crazy Frog was funny at first but is now very annoying (and yes you're right who'd actually pay for it). The really crazy thing is how they've censored his willy!

As if "anyone" would be offended by it! The annoying thing is now they have a censored version it's all they show, even after 9pm.

That bloody chick is annoying too (I wish he was bloody!).

:D Well I thought since it is a silly/fun thread its in the spirit of AG but fair enough :) I'm sorry :)

I didnt know it (crazy frog) was censored :? There seem to be more of those ads on the satellite channels :(

The Gap ad I mean is the current ad on at the moment. :D

I think it belongs here but you're a mod if you feel strongly enough move it back! :) (the same goes for everyone else, pm one of the mods).

Yeah it's censored now. It's not even done professionally, they've plonked a black rectangle over his wily! It looks ridiculous.

:lol:
I don't like that "3" ad with the singing cherries (the one where the little girls play hide-and-seek). WTF is that about? :?

That fooking Crazy Frog ringtone is being made into a single! AARGHH! :twisted:

The way he has been "censored" (the black rectangle covering his willy) is hilarious :lol:

The "Carb Options" food one (with the people at the Carb Haters club) was quite funny the first time I saw it, as I saw it as a take off of the "Fat Fighters" Little Britain sketch. :D

"Sit down, yer Carb Bandit!" :D
