GO COMPARE!!!!!! Drives me nuts.I can't get the tune out of my head lol

me too hate go compare,
hate the go green one about recycling, where they have toddlers carrying litter round the house, news papers, empty bottles, sitting on kitchen floor playing in loads of empty wrappers, its like cruelty,
and all time an eiry tune plays
even our little dog goes nuts at the ad, she barks

TLC-Tummy Loving something or other.

If I had ever eaten that yoghurt before I would have stopped once that bloody advert came on!

Oh how I agree with Karen, hate the loudness of most of them. Doesnt persuade me to buy at all! Love that one in the Dell factory when they sing' Lollipop,lollipop. Always was a catchy tune when Little Millie used to sing it.

Mc Vities digestive, with the corn stalk dancing, hate it , hate ,hate it. Well done for asking about annoying adverts. Yvette

lol i like that one yvette

even caught myself doing it the other day
the dance

That advert with Iggy Pop....is it for Swinton Insurance? I just think it`s revolting,and that little puppet mini-me is even worse...



Nicky

quite agree with the noise of the adverts too - far too loud.

Cash for gold ads They are so Cheesy.

every time it comes on my oh mutes the tv, my daughter has learned the words and sings it , the other one is that double glazing bogoff one ive hated that for years xx

When Go Compare comes on I switch channel.

After that , anything which has women's ugly cream. What a waste of money they are. 84 out of 171 said it made my face feel moister. What? put your head in a bucket of hydrating fluid (water that is) Costs next to nothing.

Meercats is the only one that makes it at the moment. Brilliant........and..... so.... simples.....!

meercats - now that is good

love the meercats too ive ordered 4 garden ornaments of them simples xx

Definitely We Buy Any Car - it scares me to think they might actually have paid a PR company to come up with that terrible song! I don't think I'd even call it a jingle.

I like the Whiskas one with the little boy and his cat, though!

I love one I saw recently for cat food, showing that cats are the original freerunners - really clever whoever thought of that!

and for those who don't know what freerunning is;

Free running or freerunning is a form of urban acrobatics in which participants, known as free runners, use the city and rural landscape to perform movements through its structures. It incorporates efficient movements from parkour, adds aesthetic vaults and other acrobatics, such as tricking and street stunts, creating an athletic and aesthetically pleasing way of moving. It is commonly practiced at gymnasiums and in urban areas that are cluttered with obstacles.

The term free running was coined during the filming of Jump London, as a way to present parkour to the English-speaking world. However, free running and parkour are separate, distinct concepts — a distinction which is often missed due to the aesthetic similarities. Parkour as a discipline emphasizes efficiency, whilst free running embodies complete freedom of movement — and includes many acrobatic maneuvers. Although the two are often physically similar, the mindsets of each are vastly different. The founder Sébastien Foucan defines free running as a discipline to self development, following your own way.

One of or my first post on here nearly 5 years ago was asking if anyone else hated the Pot Noodle Horn ad as much as I did, got quite a response.
Right now, I can't think of the worst ad but I am impressed with the new ads showing a young teenage couple, with her being subjected to domestic violence with the mesage sent out young, that domestic violence is not the way to go.

found that interesting, learn something new every day.

The other ad I hate at mo is the Halifax one trying to do a radio show -

Another vote for Go compare, I just have to turn over, drives me mad!!

At least they seem to have got rid of the stupid kid who wanted to poo at his friend's house, how I hated that ad lol!
