subliminally (sp?) - it shows that women like bein smacked on their jacksies like that! haha

I'm currently absolutley hating the 'elephant.co.uk' adverts on the Radio at the moment. concept is 'good' but it's getting annoying - its the one where theres a guy talking and a 'trumpet' sound every so often pretending to 'talk' is there too...

the quicker this is off air the better!

Watching cartoons with my kids recently and had to mention this commercial..

Anyone seen it?..Its a Barbie doll that comes with a dog named Tanner. Its a cute dog and the best/odd part is you can feed him dog biscuits and he poops. Then you can clean up the mess with a magnetic pooper-scooper.

The first time I saw it, I thought it was hilarious but was still thinking WTF?? :D ???


Definitely one of the better that I've seen!






That one is vile. 

The 'biscuits you feed the dog is what it poops out.  Then you pick up the poop and feed it to the dog again. 

Just wrong on all accounts.

"The One" - nonfat milk or something?!?

With the most unattractive cast of awful characters trying to imitate Grease (the song playing is 'You're The One That I Want')

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE IT!!!  So major cringeworthy.

They pat their pockets because they're saving money.

My husband told me that a long time ago there was an Asda ad which involved someone patting their pockets that way, so it's an in joke.

The 'patting pockets' Asda adverts have been going for almost 20 years - it's Asda's trademark advertising campaign, so even though it's kind of crap, it just wouldn't be an Asda advert without the 'chink, chink' at the end!

the PS3 adverts are annoying.

But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.

I like to listen to VirginRadio over the net when I'm at work (I'm in AZ), and I absolutely HATE the "auto glass repair, auto glass replace" commercials!

I think it's tied though with the ones that are something about a donkey named Churchill? I'm not sure what they're advertising as I forgot for the moment, but it's got two obnoxious women talking to each other about donkeys going to a website. SO annoying!

That advert for Lurpak butter where they tell you not to do jacket potatoes in the microwave, but to actually bake them in the oven, even though it takes longer... its worth it.
And then they say 'if you cant wait, have a slice of bread & butter'.   :)

Adverts that one from overseas and have poor lip sync.

And...

Teleshopping channels that make you think why did I watch 20 minutes of the demo only to find out its not £25.00 for one but £40.00 for 3 and you get the bonus baby model thrown in for free... Why?

Anyone know the song playing during the Sure commercial, with the girl running through her day (and magically staying dry ;) )?
