Sick to Death of "Go Compare" advert

[zacklaws]

I am starting to get sick of that b****y pathetic advert "Go Compare" with that fat toss pot singing.

Yesterday I was all done in, been working nights, did my first big ride of the year, also my first run in 10 years, and it was a chance to get a good nights sleep, but what happened, all I could hear in my mind was that great fat lump of lard singing, "Go Compare. Go Compare" all night long keeping me awake, hence I have got up in an arsey mood. I never even saw it on telly last night apart for one I've never seen before, where it is just the words but you sing it in your mind which probably triggered off a restless night

I'm off on club ride shortly and when I get back home if I'm still in a mood, I'm going to put a complaint into someone about this pyscological warfare of that w**k advert. I seen in the past were adverts have been taken of the telly after just a handfull of complaints.

Rant over, but still fuming

I never liked it. I'd guess the new silent movie version is because everyone is getting sick of the song.

I heard the guy, Geo Comparé, being interviewed the other week - seemed like a thoroughly nice chap.

It has to be most irritating series of adverts in the history of TV. The Shake N Vac advert looks positively tame in comparison.

Any Halifax advert beats the Go Compare adverts for annoyability into a cocked hat...

Can't be as bad as the sponsors of Emmerdale.

Is 'Tombola.co.uk' a gambling site or a dating agency ?

It certainly baffles me!!

And, yes. I refuse to go on line to check !!!!!

The Go Compare advert is quite irritating ... but the old Confused Dot Com adverts used to send me into apoplexy by virtue of their being painfully patronising.

Yes the Go Compare ads are really, REALLY annoying! But they have done what they were intended to do and got our attention. The fact that we and others are posting on internet forums about them means the advertising agency executives will be rubbing their hands.
They will soon move on and be replaced by something equally irritating.

It can work in the opposite direction though! I will now not use Go Compare or Confused Dot Com just because the ads are so irritating!

Webuyanycack.com is also extremely reiteratively irritative (I had to practice before I could say those two words together without rolling my ts and crossing my rs)

I hardly watch any live TV these days - for example, I tend to record the 1st 15 minutes of an hour long programme and then play catch-up by fast forwarding through the ads. In the end I almost catch up with real time but miss out the ads.

I hate the Go Compare ads too and wondered if they could possibly work since I (like many others) mute the TV every time they appear.

The fact is that most of the people in the advertising industry are pretty clever people who know what they are doing. Apparently, the campaign led to a 20% increase in customer count and a 44% rise in quote volumes!

Yeah, it's a bit like that Esure advert - the one with Michael Winner going "calm down dear, it's a commercial" - that made them into an overnight success. All about brand recognition.

I have to admit as much I hate the advert and the fat tuss in it, the advert works. Last 2 times I have used that website for car insurance. So even though it is a shoot annoying advert that most sane people will find irritating as hell it works. I am positive that whom ever makes these toss adverts know all this though. Having Sky + and another PVR upstairs I try my hardest to avoid adverts as much as I can, but you still see the odd one. The Go Compare one is always on the crappy local radio station that is on at work.

I like it - we need more opera music on the telly.

Here you are, Mort ol' chap ... just for you!
