I thought they were characters created for Subway adverts for a few weeks, then was puzzled when they started appearing in lots of other adverts... Then I finally heard about the Pixar film. I suppose Subway jumped the gun a bit.
Yeah, that's one I won't bother with until it happens to be on the telly when I'm bored.

Ugly little dog urges trendy middle income earners to 'book, book' in a shitty simulated fake as fuck sounding voice (if that's the correct term for a...dog!).
Goes beyond getting on my tits and actually causes them to pop out further owed to increased blood pressure.

Oh christ that one's bad. So very bad. There was no quality control applied to that at all. Even annoying ads have something going for them (catchy phrases, jingles, whatever...). That has nothing other than a dog saying "book" which is far too far from "woof" or "bark" to be meaningful.
I can tell you a cracking joke about a chicken that says "bok" however, should you want me to (which this ad reminds me of each time).

But I'm already sick of it. I get the gist, and it's not been funny. I'm guessing it'll be funny in the full movie (although only Joy comes across as anyone I'd care about - the rest all annoy me - why would I go to watch a movie full of characters that annoy me? And she's so perky I'm starting to hate her too...). I love Pixar, but they've seriously overcooked the marketting for me.

I feel your annoyance.
To this day I still haven't got a fucking clue what the fuck Wahanda is. No doubt the ad is designed to peak curiosity and cause active search activity on the net to increase their traffic or some other shit tactic.
Fucked if I'm looking it up though, shit ad equals deliberate avoidance.

You know that idea Dragon's Den threw out for "linked network of takeaway restaurants you can order from using an app"? That became a reality (Just Eat and Hungry House).
Now, instead of takeaways, Wahanda has a network of beauty & hair professionals offering their services. Through the Wahanda app you can book a local beauty treatment.

Is she famous for something other than those irritating yoghurt ads, then?

Ah ,yes!
I get ya.
The funny thing with those shit online take-a-way sites is that they cost more through the site than the local curry house it's coming from!. Where I live it to have a curry or pizza (or whatever) delivered from the curry house, pizza place etc, costs the same as going in to the shop with an additional delivery charge of £1.50 that goes to the delivery driver. Those sites cost a fricking bomb, on top of everything the curry house charges they put on their own mark up. Why they're a success baffles me.
Factor in that a few delivery drivers I know do it with their kids in order to allow their kids to earn a bit at the weekend and those sites become even more evil!
