Her voice makes me want to vomit. The advert looks like something a 1st year Marketing undergraduate would come up with armed with a text book of 1980's buzz words.
And she does a BT advert voice over too....
hate it. vent vent.
we hate it too but you've got to admit, it's effective advertising...............do you know all the words by heart?
I can't believe that's Dervla Kirwen's voice, must listen to it again....oh no!!0 -
A little off topic......but thank the lord that t*sspot Micheal WInner is off our screens.....those Esure ads made me angry..... and the man probably got paid thousands to do them!0

not just expensive, but REALLY overpriced
not just resting on our laurels, but practically horizontal
not just pants, but loads and loads of pants
thought i had a run of them there but my creative juices have dried up. Anyone think of any more?
I can't stand it either.Member no.1 of the 'I'm not in a clique' group :rotfl:
I have done reading too!
To avoid all evil, to do good,

teaching of the Buddhas.0 -
Just to go against the grain - I think it's a fantastic advert! The food looks absolutely divine. And yes - Mark's is overpriced but you can definitely taste the difference in quality.0

If we're looking for really annoying adverts - what about that moron shrieking on about searching for motor insurance at Confused.com. I could happily strangle him. I'm more likely to get Arrested.com if I ever bump into him in the street!
Annoying voices in general - you'd go a long way to beat Dawn Primarolo. It's the unsubtle combination of the rubbish she spouts and the way she does it! :mad:
Oh, and I quite like the M&S ad- but it does make me hungry.
I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe

Staying off topic
My least favourite ad is anything by Specsavers saying we are seemingly less than complete people if we are not prepared to spend upwards of £100 on a pair of frames by French Connection United Kingdom (I refuse to use the abbreviation as I find it offensive) Sorry if that makes me sound a bit Meldrewish but it annoys me badly.

Anything with that fine upstanding gimp in that does the SafeStyle UK windows "You buy one you get one free, I SAY YOU BUY ONE YOU GET ONE FREE" (Not the one with Reg Holdsworth (sic) - the gimp with the beard)
I say "sod off and be quiet"There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't
In many cases it helps if you say where you are - someone with local knowledge might be able to give local specifics rather than general advice0 -
That M&S advert?
I have my own tagline.
'This is not just food, this is food !!!!!!!'
Its all just so salacious! The pink, moist steak....the dripping butter....the seductive voice.....Food shot by Playboy directors if you ask me!0 -

I'll stick to Asda thanks....even though Sharon Osborne and her strangled, nasal voice, makes me want to run outside and punch someone in the face!
yeh like sharon osborne shops at her local asdas ..Those we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear
Our thoughts are ever with you,Though you have passed away.And those who loved you dearly,
Are thinking of you today.0
