Crunchie Advert
Noone ever seems to remember the Crunchie advert with Marcus Brigstock. What happens if you eat a Crunchie when you already have that Friday Feeling?

This geeze eats a Crunchie at a football match and ends up cheering on Anglers and the woman in the cafe was she puts sugar in his tea.

Cant find any evidence of this online, and the only person I've mentioned it to who remembered it is the kind of guy who would probably claim to remember the falling of London Bridge if you told him it'd happened.

Why is it
That something as mundane and adult as insurance is always, and I do mean always, represented in advertisements by the most "whacky" (irritating) "zany" (annoying) "Hilarious" (soul crushingly irritating) spectacles you have ever seen.

Confused.com. Gocompare.com. The worst has to be "Bakawk! Admiral multicar! Kawww!"

Why do they insist on worsening the dull experience of choosing insurance by forcing poorly concieved cartoon characters through our eyes?

Visa ad
I'm sure it's Visa (it's some kind of Credit Card anyway) where the fat guy is watching footy on TV and celebrates a goal.

Then he runs out the house and there's loads of cut scenes of him running through different countries losing weight, before finally running into a stadium, onto the pitch and scoring. Then tops it off with the same celebration he'd done at home.

Love it

EDIT: Oooh and an advert I hate. A Munch Bunch advert with that animated cow (imaginatively called 'Munch'). It is annoying simply because 'Munch' has an English accent right the way through the advert until the last line in which she says "You've grown into quite an artist" in a thick Scottish accent.

Phones4u
I dunno. I rather liked this one - www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFo9nnmOU_4

due purely to some advertising chap having the front to include the lyric 'ningmingningmingningamanoo' in a national advertising campaign. I merely puzzled by their progression into apparently rifling through the nearest mental hospital to give us such greats as Scary Mary, some chap who could only say 'YEAH', and so forth.

The advert that elicited nothing but apopleptic rage was the Skills Centre, I think - two charmless gurning fuckwits musing about how it had been two years since they'd worked together on 'the site', who go on to have by far the most stilted and irrelevent exchange ever caught on camera.

EDIT: this one. Just look at them... www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnNh4iYTJxM&feature=related

I love this ad
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqb-mmkEWqU

I love those ones for Old spice too, "look at your man, now look at me, now back to him, now back to me"

I've never come across anyone who likes the Go Compare adverts either, but I think the latest irritating advert is the "We buy any car" advert ARGH, its on the radio too.

Why do companies think that making shit adverts will make us want to use their product/service. Take Confused.com with its stupid fucking "tadaaaaa" in it. I'll go to one of the other sites instead just because their adverts are so shit. I know the more stupid the advert the more likely it is we will remember the company when we might want the service, but I'd much rather see adverts with red telephones with with wheels than Mr and Mrs joe bloggs of crapville in their average home with fluffy fairy lights or random student digs comparing their insurance quotes on their average car. Life is average, I don't want average adverts.

I know it's brain-dead stuff
but there's something about the new spec-savers advert.

You know the one.

I think it's the incisive parody of modern sex-obsessed advertising that does it for me, or perhaps it's the hilariously chunky sex-god main character who I find amusing. I don't know, but I like it.

It's definitely not the lady in the black bikini's arse at the end. Definitely not.

Tesco Mobile
This one is clever and irritating at the same time

It's clever for puncturing the "lifestyle-isation" of commodity products that all such ads seem to have adopted.

And it's irritating because it's Tesco - an all-consuming retail leviathan with fewer scruples than Emperor Palpatine's slightly more sinister elder brother - that thought of doing it (or, more likely, their agency).

Tits!
Those crummy ads for chatlines that appear on Five and pretty much all the digital-only channels after midnight.

Especially the one where you have to text different keywords, ostensibly to talk to women from different decade-long age brackets (when all it probably does is tell the bored 40-something housewives at the call centre how high to pitch their voices).

Um Bongo - the terrible truth
Apropos of Mullered's praise for the Um Bongo ad, I have a terrible truth to tell.

For I have been to the Congo, where apart from being robbed blind by a bunch of Kalashnikov-wielding scrotes, I went out of my way to discover whether the residents of Brazzaville do indeed love this tasty, tasty mixed fruit juice.

And: THEY DO NOT

Despite my efforts, I found not a single carton of Um Bongo, but discovered that if there is one thing they like up the Congo, it's VIMTO.

Sing along if you know the words: "Vimto, vimto something something imto"

I understand advertisers and all involved in making advertisements are paid quite handsomely for doing so.
Since I am not paid by them, and thus not in their employ, I will not do their job for them.

The only exception I take is to wearing band t-shirts when I go to gigs, and then one must only ever wear one of a different band to that/those one is going to see.

Up Your Viva
A few months ago there was an advert that was repeated incessantly on a few of my favourite TV channels. It was basically two blokes shouting "Up your viva" at each other over the phone. One of these guys looked so strange that I thought he'd been photoshopped to make his gob look ridiculously outsized, a la the anti-drug-driving ads. It wasn't.

Anyway, this advert was repeated so often, and was so irritating, that just typing the words "Up your viva" are giving me an eye twitch. However, through the wonders of the interwebs, I found out the name of one of the "actors", friended him on Facebook, and called him a cunt to his virtual face. He deleted me. It made me feel a million times better, I would recommend that others try the same course of action.

So, Eric Lampaert - if you're going to appear in hideously irritating adverts, it would probably be best not to post said adverts on your YouTube account if your YouTube account has a link to your personal information.
