'What’s the most annoying financial advert?' poll discussion

DON79

The Halifax one is the worst Halifax advert ever, its absolutely awful and the staff who agreed to take part in such a stupid advert should be ashamed, its annoying and pointless. The advert is disgusting cheesy and its just giving the whole wrong image of Halifax and their staff, the advert makes the staff look like total brainless morons IMO and not the kind of people who should be working in a bank as they couldn't even answer a question intelligently. And I have no personal grudge against the Halifax, I just object to their stupid advertising campaigns making me as a member of staff appear totally dumb!

Erm excuse me! My friend is in that advert. She's standing at the back dancing to the track and giving high fives. She thinks its cheesy too but why on earth should she be ashamed! At least halifax use their staff and if I worked for them I would be excited to be picked for one. Unlike other banks who would rather you didnt see their staff in branch never mind on TV! There are WAY more annoying Halifax ads then this. Or is that jelousy that you havent been picked yet coming out? Is the green eyed monster paying us a visit? :think:

(and am with you over the mini, its not a sports car!!! ARGE!!!!:mad:)

The worse the advert the more we remember them and the more the add men are pleased. remember shake n vac?
I rate Tescos as worst for loads of hype and very expensive prices.

2 words for you: Mini Cooper, or even a Mini Cooper S.

A sportier Mini as originally re-engineered by the late John Cooper.

Mini Cooper or not if he thinks "sportier" minis are sports cars it's no wonder his girlfirend said no !!;)

I still can't believe the Guy who "was given the wrong ladder" - And then was daft enough to climb up it! Ambulance chasing. Where is the responsibility to exercise common sense?
