CrunchieSquirrel Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Im liking the compare the markets new one. I was all sad thinking serge was gonna get fired! awwww! I think the story now on the Compare the Market.com adverts on TV are saying that Sergey is either dying or mentally insane. Reasons: credit cards!

RileyBKing Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm with the confused & underdog comments, both candidates for Room 101. In addition: All the ads which imply that hip 20somethings favourite leisure time activity is playing (a) bingo or ( online poker The ads that imply that payday loans at APRs up to about 5000% are a smart way to start up your new business venture, pay car expenses, and generally manage your finances (!)

abraxas Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yep, kinda the same as Ramsdens. Vultures pickin the bones o less fortunate folk in these current cash-strapped times (thanks Toh-nee! Thanks Gordon! May both of yez ballz go square an fester at the corners, ye f.eckers Them twannies Cameron, Clagg an Osborne are only finishin what ye started, the smarmy gets!)

RileyBKing Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Totally agree. All these ads relating to instant loans, life insurance for the over 50s, free lawyers to sue someone, we buy your gold, get out of debt free with our help etc are all targeted at financially vulnerable people who may be so desperate that reading the small print appears irrelevant. What amazes me is that all these ads are (presumably) perfectly legal and don't attact the attention of Advertising Standards either. To me as a non lawyer they often stretch my ideas on legality and especially morality to breaking point and beyond. Where are all the consumer protection bodies and caring politicians when you need them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abraxas Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 They're probably directors in them, along wit' the twanny MPs ye've got here!! It wouldn't surprise me one jot. (but then nothin does anymore, not since me Dyson created a temporospatial vortex in me livin room an half of Narnia ended up in here! 😳 That bloody satyr isn't house-trained either.😖 Ye didn't see that in the film, did yez??!! 😡) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachmill Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 That RBS emergency cash service advert. Or, more to the point, the wife's voice when she says, "eeeeeemerrrrginccccy cesh zzzervice". Want. To. Kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrunchieSquirrel Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Can't stand the new advert for Vanish white bleach solution (don't know what I'm saying, read on). There was a teacher who was teaching young children about colours, she points out a red circle then her 'white shirt', after the demonstration of how Vanish whitens your clothes, she points again to her blouse. When the children said 'red', 'grey' and 'white'. They sound so tonedeaf; I can't get a word they are saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CyprusPluto Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I'm torn between the Moneysupermarket adverts series and the Plusnet. Which is worse? They both so annoying. I actually turned the TV off last time the Moneysupermarket advert came on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector's House Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Just seen an ad where a woman walks down the cheese aisle in a supermarket (a whole aisle just for cheese? lol) and someone seems to whispers "Hitler" at her Turns out to be an ad for "Tickler" cheese... Thinking about it, I suppose it might have been subliminal marketing for hearing aids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchieSquirrel Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Does anyone know who that woman of the Go Compare advert is? It is the advert that they 'try' to 'save' our nation. She seems to explode Pavarotti leaving the remains of the residents' garden burdened with soil, the woman takes her hat off and smiles. Who the hell is she?? I am thinking it is an American somehow. Does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdanny Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 i totally agree with you guys especially the first post, it was the first thing that came to mind so i guess it really gets to a lot of people's nerves i wonder how this affects the company or maybe it is just their way of getting people's attention. i do hope that they improve on advertising cause it is surely very irritating to me! also hate it when they play adverts so many times consecutively sometime i think my television went wrong or something.
