Chrissy Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I just caught the latest Leerdammer advert. Borderline creepy, with naughty elf taking a woodland walk. They are yet to persuade me to buy the cheese though! Quote
Kell Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Oh, their cheese is mingin', but I love that cheeky advert! Quote
pickle Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Having sat through the adverts recently because i was doing the ironing I have a new hate, The one for finish dishwahing powder, its awful what is a diamond standard washing powder anyway..I think the woman doing the voice over eggs it, dishwahers are not sexy!! and dishwasher tablets really aren't Quote
Fi. Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I just caught the latest Leerdammer advert. Borderline creepy, with naughty elf taking a woodland walk.

vicky_notts Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 The endless 'we buy gold' adverts Same here lol cant stand them! Quote
Kreader Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Yup - you are correct. There is a complete ban on advertising or promotion of formula as an alternative for breastfeeding for newborns and babies up to the age of six months, which is why they created "follow-on" milk and they all have "when you're ready to move on from breastfeeding..." or "from 6 months old, your baby needs..." - it's to get around the guidelines. The thing is experts will tell you a healthy child does not require any special type of milk once they are 6 months and over, regular milk will do and for those allergic to cow's milk any average soya milk product will do. I can't stand seeing all those medicated advertisments especially contradicting ones within 15 minutes of each other. You'll get one for constipation then not long after one for diaorreah. One for insomnia followed by one to combat lethargy. Oh and those stomach bloating complaints. It just might be possible to cure that by eating less or changing when and what you eat but no we must medicate everything:irked: Danone bio-yogurts keep advertising their anti-bloating properties. If I want yogurt I'll chose it by taste not because of these claims. Quote
missybct Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Oh the Cash4Gold and PostURGold are getting so irritating. I don't really watch much TV but I can always rely on one of those adverts to come up. Quote
Laura-Jade Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I love the Cravendale adverts . And I also adored the bread advert (Hovis, IIRC) where the young boy goes through history. It's lovely . I hate any of the compensation adverts and the cash for gold ones. There's one fairly recent ad for a website that will lend you money with the bloke acting out a conversation between two people. The interest rates in the tiny print on the bottom of the screen are unbelievable, I can't believe they get away with it . Quote
pickle Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Go Compare..its so irritating..these days I do tend to switch onto other channels, I guess we should count ourselves as lucky in the UK though in Spain the adverts last 20 minutes Quote
BigWords Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 There's a brilliant stand-up routine (though the comedian who performed it doesn't come to mind at the moment) who gave a five-minute long portion over to those adverts hawking medical products to the public. "Tired? We've got something for that. Too alert? We've got something for that. Feeling bloated? We've got something for that. Feeling too thin? We've got something for that. It doesn't matter what you may or may not be suffering from, we've got drugs which will make your life better." The most worrying thing was the fact that the routine wasn't as ludicrous as some of the claims that the actual companies make on their adverts. They really do create drugs on the off chance that there might be a condition which requires that specific drug. If there isn't an existing condition they'll make one up. Seriously... Some companies make me wonder if "medical ethics committees" actually give a damn about ethics. Quote
Nightwish Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I still love the Specsavers advert with Postman Pat in, takes me back to my childhood Quote
pickle Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 The new adverts for Yazoo Milkshakes with the cows being fired from a cannon I love that one Quote
Reid Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) I love the Cravendale adverts. with the funny 1940's cyclist, the pirate, the cow & the chicken. Edited February 16, 2010 by Reid Quote
Vladd Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 The Halifax advert with the fake cheesy radio station is almost as irritating as the Go Compare ads Quote
Nollaig Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 GO COMPARE! GO COMPARE! You can be sure when you insure with Go Compare! You get the loooow-down so costs can goooo down and you'll -thank- -your- -stars - that you went to Go Compaaaaaaare! Yes you'll thank your stars that you went to Go Compare! Quote
chesilbeach Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 The Halifax advert with the fake cheesy radio station is almost as irritating as the Go Compare ads No, I'm sorry but you're wrong. The Halifax advert is far more irritating, in fact it's annoyingly, dreadful. Quote
ned Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Does that mean poor Howard has gotten the sack? Quote
ned Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 "Gold, (Gold) Always belive in your soul, You've got the power to know, You're indestructible, always believe iiiin" Oh God! that is stuck in my head now! Poor Howard Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I'm sure Howard got replaced a few adverts ago I do like that song though... Tony Hadley Quote
BigWords Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Does anyone feel they can trust a bank with their money if they are willing to waste cash on that advert? It's almost as if they are trying to convince people they will throw around their cash - and how much would it have cost them to secure the rights to that song alone? That advert has Epic Fail written all over it. Quote
