This could go in TV and Movies forum.

But hey, I think all the DFS (if you live in England you'll know what I mean) adverts are terrible, all the stupid people and the music! 'sit down on it' arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
 
I hate that advert we get here in the UK, about this website called confused.com. That man is so annoying, and the advert is really crap.

Are you kidding me?

Women giving an obnoxious come hither, or I can conquer the world, look while strutting around with fake angel wings attached to their bras does not appeal to me. They look stupid to me. To each their own.

So, no, not kidding you in the least.
 
For me it would have to be the Wichita Mid-Continent Intl. Airport commercials. The two reasons i hate it are these.
1. An aiport shouldnt need to advertise.

2. They made the ad look like an ad out of the 70's. Half of it was in B&W and the other half was showing a retarded kid throwing a paper airplane in an airport and it hitting like 10 people.

I hate the Jamba cell phone adverts. Oh god, I hate it from the deep depth of my heart.

JAMBA SPARABO! NEU POLIFON FUR UR HANDY! RUF AN!

Every time I hear that,I get an urge to kill someone.

And not to mention every god damn detergent ad... or local beer brand ad,with an Australian dude dressed like Crocodile Dundee singing poorly.....that one makes me want to take a knife,pluck my eyes out,cut my veins and bleed to death.
 
The Jamba ads, and any other cell-phone-related ringtone, daily joke, wallpaper, or screensaver ads. They are God's punishment for an evil world.

One word: Fanta.
Amen! I frick'n hate those!

Here, in LA SoCal, we had one from Slate & Leoni law firm. It was a old, fat, round-faced Southern gentlemen in a cheap late '70s suit sitting in a large TV chair spouting off his lines with NO emotion or feeling whatsoever. His lines were,

"Hi, I'm Hugh Slate of Slate and Leoni. We can stop the foreclosures. We can stop the garnishments. We can stop the phone calls. Call, day or night, NO BILLS. Dial, N-O B-I-L-L-S. NO BILLS."

With his Southern accent and his deadpan face and unemotional tone, it made me laugh my ass off. Everybody who saw this commercial, aired only late at night, mimicked him. It was horrible but a huge hit.

Then, we have our Cal Worthington commercials. http://www.mydogspot.com/ram/realcal5.ram

I'd hate to say it but.

Word.

I can not STAND those things. Remember the Crazy Frog? Oh christ.
 
I hate the DirecTV advertisement. That teacher stands in front of his classroom and calls Beuller over and over in a monotone voice. The kid is supposed to be gone because he is watching TV, but the teacher is the annoying part.
 
Come on now. Ben Stein's a tv icon. And it's impressive to me how well they synched Stein's voice today to himself in a 20 year old film.
 
I don't know what MachOne sees in the Victoria's Secret CMs either. Aren't they suppose to make those sexy? On Fanta commercials, I haven't seen one of those since I was in Japan! I think I did see a clip of it on the internet one time, but that was it. :lol: One of my favorite sodas from when I was a kid. Finally, my current pick for the "bad tv ads" goes to Geico. Now, every time I say "I have good news!"....... :indiff:

I thought that was kinda neat. If anybody knows the Japanese player in that commercial, please PM me. :D

They were cool when they debuted. But, when you've seen them over 50 times like I have, they get tired.

Oh, and the one with the reggae-funk-ish music is alright. The one with the really dumb band with the dumb singer in the background is the one that sucks.
 
the lawer ones are anoying, theres one where a man (who looks like he just esscaped from prison) jump out and ducks infront of a semi, who would do that.

None of them suit me flavour.

Word. You know that at least half of them are "American Chav-Girls", and the others are club puppets.

I always wondered what it would be like if there was a Cola-flavor fanta chick.



Yo, if that's what DIET coke looks like, I don't think the material world has an answer for Coca-Cola's role.
