Harvey Norman, eurgh, Cigna, pah. Although, I must say I have had a giggle about the Tower insurance couple and upon originally watching the Sky ad I thought that it was very clever. However, now I just want to drown puppies.
Ahaha yeah, so true.
I can't get over how many people like the Rexona ad with Dan Carter losing a wheel off his mountain-bike. It's terrible, and yet when i say that to people, they're all "Oh, I love that ad" etc.
But yeah, Harvey Norman, eurgh.

Go Com-fucking-pare. It's one thing to put that shit on TV in the first place. And guess what - now they've brought his mummy into it as well. Hip fuckity hoo.

What a fucking bad idea to release this advert, if anything everyone is goingtocompare anywhere else.

And the worse thing is, it's been on since (at least, according to my thread) February, and they still milk the shit out of it, making it more annoying. Like what happened the CompareTheMeerkat - it's just old now.

Hope the company goes bust thanks to that advert - Good riddance :D

Yeah I saw that too two days ago. The "mummy" pun is just appalling, not to mention the silly opera singing. It's even worse than Crazy Frog because it actually has lyrics and it's subtitled.

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned Lloyds TSB's adverts. I personally find them really, really irritating. Maybe I'd been permanently traumatised from that time I spent 25 minutes in a taxi with a screen that was playing Lloyds TSB adverts continuously. For 25 minutes.

Yes, taxis actually have screens now which play adverts. I can't believe it myself...

Haha. Contrary to you, however, I like the Lloyds TSB adverts. The animated feel to the advert is appealing and the music is also nice. Although yeah, 25 minutes I can understand would probably be a bit too much. :P

Any interactive online advert ...
******* ANNOYING PIECES OF SH*T! WHY THE F**K ARE THEY STILL AROUND! YOU CAN'T SKIP 'EM OR STOP 'EM. The most annoying thing is if you are listening to some music on your headphones with the volume of the media player really low but the pc volume maxed ... dear god are they enough to ruin a perfectly good computer.

Sorry, had to vent a bit

Seriously, if anybody even catches a glimpse of the new Iceland advert, turn off your television and spray it with so much anti-bacterial spray that it practically dissolves, to eradicate the germ that the Iceland advert, in its entirety, is.
