    Yes, unfortunately they do. It comes on before the weather and then again, after the weather. If you want to watch the weather, you have to move pretty fast to dumb out the tune but not miss the floating clouds bit.

    Not sure why, I think it's the music but I like the Berocca advert. Have tried to find out what song it is but can't find out.

    Hate the Swift Cover adverts most of all.


    Berocca advert is 'living on the ceiling' by blancmange...I still have it on vinyl!! from early 80's.....Still sounds good years later doesn't it.

    I hate L'Oreal (because I'm worth it!) ads in general- especially those mascara ads that claim to give you ten, or some other ridiculous number, times as thick lashes- !!!!!!, is it going to give you wooly lashes like a fraggle or something?? There's usually text at the bottom of the screen claiming the model is wearing falsies anyway...
    Owing to financial constraints, the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off until further notice. :(

  • Do you guys realise that this is exactly the point of advertising...
    "I hate the advert for..."
    "I love the advert for ..."

    Doesn't really matter what it's for or whether you love or hate it but you remember the brand name, so the advert works...

    I have some new hated adverts...

    The B&Q ads with that HORRIBLE MUSIC! Seriously, I dont care what theyre doing or how they do it, I just have to mute the advert.

    Also, that Ska advert with the fat guy and the ugly kid doing weird dancing to Madness and other 80s ska bands. Theres something about them that creeps me out.

    The 118 advert drives me to the brink of insanity.

    the Listerine ad with that wimpy bloke in the bathroom of that chalet in the snow and the woman who comes in, gurns at him in the mirror...and when his mouth explodes...the look on his face just has me wanting to punch his lights out...(such a fake expression) and as for her...geez...looks like she's been asked to leave the room for farting...:cool:

    I didn't 'get' that ad for ages :doh::o.

    My pet hate is the one where the poor child has to tell us all he's done his business on the toilet... surely that ad constitutes child abuse?

    if you mean the little asian boy...?? he's calling for loo paper or something..and when his mum can't *hear* what he's saying he draws a picture and shoves it under the door...which means he had to get off the loo to find pen and paper...ahem....which means...and thank you..and good night...:D
