Is it just me that wants to grab those twiddly 'tash' hairs and batter him with them till he passes out?:mad:
1st time I heard it, I thought it was almost mildly amusing, 2nd time I knew it wasn't!
For the record I will never ever even go on their website, never mind consider using their service.:rolleyes:

    '...How much did this advert cost?...'

    'It only cost a tenner...'

    It smacks of absolute desperation. Making an ad that's very noisy is not clever.

    It's just like the confused.com adverts - !!!! but EVERYONE is going to remember it.
    I decided I'm not using gocompare because of the advert because I don't like their technique :P

    All the kids round our way sing it like some sort of pop song. It's infuriating.

    The first time it was amusing especially "he's only a tenor" It has now become extremely irritating and its now a case of switching channels before he can burst into "song"

    It does not make me want to use their services.

    It's got us talking about the product (or at least the company name). Can't be a total failure then.

    Hahah same!

    And the radio advert, the woman at the end 'Can you tell me the average mens....'

    I always laugh at that.
  • I thought the subtlety of the smirks when saying "only a tenner" was well done. I generally hate all insurance adverts as they are smug and full of lies but I acutally laughed at this one.
    I've been making animations for my daughter. Tell me what you think? Search for "Where are you Pickles?" and "Pickles and the Bully" on YouTube.

  • :rotfl:Funny really but these annoying adverts would actually make me not buy the product!
