crazy frog advert

Options
if i hear or see the crazy frog advert again it is going to be the end of me i think.

i used to see it 4 times during every ad break as i have digital and that was bad enough, then a couple of days ago i had the pleasure of seeing that they have taken over terrestrial tv as well. 2 times during every ad break there comes Jamster and their annoying Axel F remix of the crazy frog. surely this puts people off buying the tone rather than making us want it.

the advert is so annoying and blitzing us with it is making it worse.

    I think it is there to appeal to youngsters. However I notice they are advertising other cute animals too :doh:

    I do think it is catchy but it would have to be a freebie for me I am afraid for me to consider it - lol.

    But I agree it does seem to be a bit over hyped, but the public will vote, with their phones of course.

    :rolleyes:

    I'd just like to second this :mad:. It seems to be on every ITV commercial break I see.

    I'm normally very caring and compassionate towards animals, but if I ever manage to get my hands on that frog, the RSPCA may just have to restrain me..... :wall:

    Twice in the same commercial break here :( I told dh that if I had to watch it one more time I would be putting my foot through the TV.

    I agree 100%

    Problem is that tell everyone I hate it - then I hum.

    People don't believe me when I tell them it's the 80's version I hear in my head when I hum rather than the annoying one icon9.gif

    That is what exactly my mum said when I left her house about an hour ago. I had been there for about 6 hours and I have seen it twice every advert break as we have watched both ITV and channel 4 only today.

    :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    You would have to pay me to have that rubbish on my mobile.

    100% agree with above. Have you noticed that all the cute ones have the same voice or has the ad dulled my senses. I feel a lie down coming on. Best place really, no TV-no ads.

    Its like the ad for the bloody chicken (or whatever - I think it is called Sweetie or something. I reckon that mobile phones with these little animals as ring tones were the reason why shotguns were invented

    It's that dragon one that gets on my nerves :mad:


    The only thing that annoys me about the frog is, the sound was pinched from this. Which is very funny :rotfl:
