Annoying Adverts

[Rhythm Thief]

which adverts wind you up the most?

All of them. I can't stand advertising: I object to being treated like a moron in my own lounge. Not that I ever watch the telly.
Charlie Brooker is very good on the subject here.

Someone wrote in to Viz recently, saying that whenever that "Autoglass repair, Autoglass replace" advert came on, they sang along with the words "Jism in your hair, jism on your face". I suggest the whole nation starts doing this.

And incidentally, am I the only one who isn't at all surprised that a company called "Autoglass" promises to "repair or replace" the "glass" in your, er, "auto"? No? As I say, they think we're all morons.

I read that a little while ago but it's even funnier 2nd time around.

And most hateful advert of the moment is that Gillette one in the pseudo garage, "It's your blades mate....." An advert all we blokey men can empathise with

Referring to the OP, I never really had a problem with 'Howard' of the Halifax ads. At least he was a bona fide Halifax employee, and he had some talent as a singer. OK so one cringes at any singsong ad, but I perhaps cringed less at these ones...

The ones that really get my goat, are the egregious Andie McD doing her bit in that cosmetics stuff - that's what really gets me hitting MUTE and turning away. Then I have to guess how long to the catchphrase so that I can time my un-MUTE...

This should make you chuckle. Even if it does turn out not to be true.
