What is your most annoying advert?

[nstreet]

I am being driven mad by the Safestyle double glazing ad. It seems to be on avery set of adverts and that load mouth plonker is driving me round the bl**dy bend. Does this ad really sell windows. It puts me off totally.

Do you have any adverts that really get your goat?

Frog.

Any advert (mostly for cleaning stuff) where the words are in English, but the mouths are saying something like 'Mein Gott. Es schtinkt von Scheiss' - If the English market's that important, then make advert's just for us. Cif, Glade, Kandoo - you're all guilty !!!!!

Kinder Eggs are exempt from the above rant, purely on the basis of that surreal "Yibbo-Tricky, Me Unscrabby, Chocca-Dooby !!" advert that was on years ago.....

And the thing that is most guaranteed to stop me buying Safestyle windows is............Having bought Safestyle windows in the past. Though it was Reg Holdsworth selling them those days.

I don't 'get' them, must be me still on 2nd generation phones.

Normally like ads, specially when you can read the small print (try that also to see if you need glasses). The small print tells you that the offer isn't worth as much as they try to tell you

Hate the ones about wrinkles: I even find them offending. Why can't we (older then 40) show our laughing wrinkles?

One of the best ever ad campaign was in the late 80's: nissan cars. Remember the 'heated' side-mirrors? Eskimo's warming their hands
Or 6 little dwarfs on the cylinders? Loved them.

Soap powder and cleaning product ads. They're always soooo much better than the previous stuff they try to flog.....not!

Why do they use blue dye on tampon ads?

I've often wondered about adverts for cleaner, where they get rid of, for example, baked on grime with a single swipe of their cloth. Given that this never ever happens like what it shows in the ad, how are these still legal ??

Same with lots of adverts, take the Lynx advert for instance. I wear Lynx but never get acosted by gorgeous beauties when I use it. I often wonder if you could take these people to court for offences under the trade descriptions act.

if cleaning products are "new and improved" for the 5th time for the same product it must have been really c**p to begin with.
whats with the kellogs adverts that shows kids being more alert @ breakfast time.how do they get away with it without proof.
