Ads that get right on your tits

[Col]

Worst adverts currently on telly, and maybe even the worst ones in the history of advertising are the new Halifax ads. They're so mind-achingly awful.

[Flabio]

I didn't think it was possible, but they managed to make an advert even more annoying than their first...



Any, any, any, any...

Oh I dunno, it's a standard dance music video. Polished production, but don't think much of the tune, so glad it's reasonably short. I'm guessing the lead singer could go onto better thing--

-- an advert you say? Wait... What?

[Cloudane]

I adapted the most annoying advert (which is quite amusing when it's not blaring away in the background, but most of the time it's annoying)

Get a beer, Get a beer
First things first when you have a thirst get a beer
When your choices are many
You can go and just pick any
When you go to the fridge to get a beer
Get a beer
When in doubt don't run out
Get a beer
With just a few ticks and your bottle op'nin tricks
And you’ll thank your stars that you went to get a beer
Yes you’ll thank your stars that you went to get a beer

I hate all the fucking depressing ads they have on at the moment. "Don't have a drink. Your liver will explode and you'll die horribly of cancer". "Here's a load of awful singing kiddies to emotionally blackmail you off the fags". And the vaguely (and sometimes not so vaguely) threatening ones about tax. Fuck off with that. Cunts.

But yes, the current smeg de la smeg has to be those fucking Halifax ads. I mean really, who the fuck thought they were such a great idea. And why are all the people in them fat? Fucking talentless porkers, fuck off back to Gutsville. Cunts.

Apparently the annoying tenor lives on Anglesey. Anyone else fancy going to his house and singing through his letterbox? Perhaps we can train a dog to bark the tune too.

That's about the 3rd one I think, the one my lyrics were based on was the first advert with the guys sat in a cafe. But yeah - and I concur with the idea of shouting through his letterbox

[Truder]

The latest DFS advert is getting right on my tits but I cant find a video of it, it really must be that annoying!

To be fair: the words, frequency and general irritation factor of that advert aren't things within his control. He's only an actor - it's WhoreCompare who should have ire directed at them.

Go post youtube links to their advert on their forums or something. +1 innernets to the first person who can make a mod say "that's irritating - stop it" without realising the context.

I always raise a glass and offer a hearty 'Cheers!' whenever one of those government drink adverts come on before draining my glass. Just fuck off and stop telling me how to live my life. It's my life, and if I choose to spend it in a more or less constant drunken stupor (for example) then that's exactly what I'll do.

If the government had their way, we'd just stay in one safe place and work, eat from a list of approved food, and sleep.

A good point.

Talking about adverts, I'm glad that we don't get those annoying pop-up-under-etc online ads with sound these days. Can anyone remember the very annoying mosquito one?

I had one of those appear today, advertising some dodgy looking dating site. Where the chuff is that sound coming from? Oh!

I do actively switch off when those adverts come on. Scaring people into stopping things doesn't work, it just pisses them off.

I'd be scared witless if I opened my under-stairs cupboard and Moira 6-O'clock-News woman started going on about tax forms at me. I'd probably never do the hoovering again.

They are the worse by far. I just don't get them... who thought they were even vaguely funny?

"Ahh let's pretend to be a radio station, a really cheesy middle-aged radio station. The middle aged people on the Post Office ads were good, we'll copy that."

I now have lightning quick reflexes when the GoCompare bloke comes on. If you watch it without sound it's really creepy when he starts singing though the letterbox, I think he should have brushed his teeth first.
