Default Adverts you hate

sorry I feel like I'm monopolising the board with two new threads in the space of 10 minutes AND I'm a newcomer too.

Yeah, adverts. I hate that Veet one you know where she goes "Ready Boys my legs are Veet smooth and I feel like a million dollars" as if women's sole purpose is to look good for men, how pathetic. Puts me right off Veet. I also hate the voice over women who sounds a bit like Keira Knightley but with an even more posher sharp accent. TALK PROPERLY WOMAN!

What adverts do you hate?

(DFS ones are my favourites obviously)

don't worry, it rules!

i don't have tv so i don't see any ads, but i hate the jingles they play in asda where there sing "ASDER FM" to the stupid tune where they spank their ass change at the end


i was also nostalgically reminiscing the other day about an old nescafe advert. it had a song that went

"ness-cafe
ness-cafe
what better way to start your day?

isn't it tmie that you woke up
to a richer, smoother tasting cup?"

i like the way it seems really innocent and lame nowadays, whereas modern ads seem to be some sort of lifestyle religion, where they use obscure folk artists from the 70s to sell you a mobile phone.

Hey that wee rocker dude is cool.

I know what you mean about old adverts like the Aquafresh one that's been revived that has the three cartoon people - Mum, dad and wee boy and they are all brushing their teeth at the sink and its

we like red stripes we like white
we like the blue stripes but thats al right
as you can see aquafresh has all three
three in one protection for your fam-il-ee and (here's the best bit) bum.

Hee hee, bring back more old adverts.

By the way I used to play Rainbow Islands on my Spectrum, I loved it! And the Dizzy games too. They were brilliant, would be sat playing them for hours.

Adverts with women throwing their hair about claiming one wash with a shampoo gets rid of 2 years of hair damage, oh whatever you stupid bimbo

Also on the shampoo theme, women throwing their hair about claiming a shampoo did it, what they fail to say was they where there hours before the advert shoot getting their hair treated and hot waxed and havent even touched the stupid shampoo.

OH, and when they have women in their late twenties doing adverts for wrinkle cream.

Ok i'll stop now!

I HATE the Micky guy advert. His hair is shite! Seriously, he's got all these supposedly 'cool' looks when really he just looks like a 'fa**y'.

If I knew Micky I'd shave his hair off when he was sleeping. Tool.

Are those weetabix ones for real? I thought it was a joke? Surely no-one would put all the stuff on they are suggesting?

The picture loan one "josh, your dad's found your scooter"

Who's f****** jovial about having a 25k debt?

It really bugs me too how the husband can't get a word in edgeways but the kids allowed to but into the conversation whenever he wants.

this is really showing my age now but there use to be a public information film shown on the bbc, usually just before they closed down for the night, and it was about the dangers of playing near water, and it featured a hooded, creepy figure, use to give me the creeps, i think donald pleasance did the voice over for it...it use to end with "i'll be back-back-back" anyone else remember that one or was i just dreaming it :embarass:

:really_ma

Argh!!!! That ad' has me hoping mad.

It's all sweetness and light as she effectively buys 25k for the princely sum of 42k.

Not only that, this is yet another ad' where hubby is a bumbling buffoon while the ultra-efficient wife sorts out all the important stuff. Utter sexist bollox if you ask me.

Hubby is so insignificant that all he is fit for is falling over Josh's scooter while super-wife makes all the decisions. *Yawn*

When will advertisers realise that sexism is purile no matter which way it cuts?
