    :mad::mad: Hate any adverts with creepy children/childrens voices

    Like the Velvet and evian adverts and of course that bloody Haribo adverts makes my skin crawl

    Also hate the Moneysupermarket advert and the confused.com ones

    The Maccyd's one I thought was just rubbish

    Love it, Moon River is my favourite record. No idea what it advertises though.

    Cheap chocolate. Perfect choice of character - pick somebody to look like an old movie star who just happened to have eating disorders and that'll convince women that you can stuff a whole bar of this greasy, oily, almost cocoa free product and not get fat.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Oooh, that Nationwide ad annoys me to. As if anyone would do that!

    The Specsavers ones are good. :)

    I remember the first time after watching that ad my first thought was, so really and truly, Twitter would have been the ‘hero’ of the advert (or perhaps they missed a trick there ;) ) too many variables. So first off the son tweeted that he had lost a scarf on X number bus in X area. So we are meant to believe that someone just so happened to purposefully search for the keywords ‘missing scarf’ ‘X number bus’ etc and think ooohh! I remember so and so from work telling me about finding some manky old scarf on the bus that fits the description.

    And also, assuming the lady who worked in the bank just so happened to be getting the bus and saw said scarf, who actually picks up someone’s random clothes left on a bus?! At most, they’d be lucky if the bus driver saw it and didn’t just chuck it at the end of his shift. Or perhaps someone else who was on the same bus when he left it would have picked it up and kept it for their own use. Also, what if it was just a random member of the public who spotted it and saw the tweet? Or what if the said lady worked for a rival bank? And since when did bank staff go out of their way to visit a customer at their home address to drop something off? I could go on but suffice to say, I can’t stand that advert. :rotfl:

    Reminds me.

    Was watching Gavin & Stacey last night on UKGold and an advert for lovehoney.co.uk came on.

    Most definitely not safe for work :eek:

    If you think our adverts were bad, have you seen Japanese ads? They're mad, and half the time, you have no idea what it is they're selling, but they're very entertaining.

    Yep, the Travelodge ad is awful, The cheesiest song and horrid creepy puppets, and yes one does look like David Cameron. :rotfl:

    Seems like the ad has done its job, it has you all talking about it.

    Personally, I think you need to get out more if you have nothing better to do than start a thread about an advert :)

    Not really any need for that is there?

    And it's a bit hypocritical of you to say that, because you seemingly have nothing better to do than respond to threads you see as pointless! rolleyes.gif

    I think part of my issue with them is that I quite liked two of the previous Haribo ads - the one with the girl telling the story, and biting the heads off the Haribo; and the one with Detective Millie (?)
