"More annoying ads"

Halifax ones aside, with the goon Howard, we have others.

Capital One No Hassle Platinum Plus Card. Right. Apart from being mildy lame in name, the amount of crappy ads they have is unbelievable. And the fact they change every damn ad about a week after you first see it suggests they have no clue. Plus, on their latest ad, they took out the little 'wwoooobobibibiblblle!' noise the green monster makes, which was hilarious. Fools.

Thanks to Gamesfreak, those Knor sauce ads with the panda. OH LOOK! The panda speaks like a common Englishman! Beltin'! You little minx! How terribly......unoriginal and completely unfunny. Tries to be funny, falls between two stools, and skewers its nads on a - skewer. I hate those ads that revert to humour (i.e let's change a stereotype, by subverting it with an unexpected and funny voice!) Lame, lame lame. Sorry Gamesfreak. But lame.

All these football ads. I like football. I don't like adverts. In particular McDonalds. 'Buy a big Mac bla bla bla' - in perfect English from a perfectly clean and friendly teenage girl. Yeah right. Although the 'Free One!' cry is mildly amusing, the 'bana ba ba noooow!' is utterly infuriating, especially with that sh*te noise that makes it. Rubbish.

And that coke ad with the kid who can't f**king kick a ball. Then he goes 'goal? GOAAALLL!'. Retarded, generic and retarded again.

Anyone else?

Mint card really funny in a way

Pur-lease. Some of the rip-off Euro 2004 adverts are atrocious. The coca-cola one, as mentioned, sucks, and then there is the Cheerio's one, which is just plain stupid.

Oh, and that one with the 4 x 4 car, with the commentator blurting out how the car is turning/moving, I mean what the hell is that all about?

Heh! I recently posted a similar post in General, and its "Zirtek" for future reference. :-D

"Zirtek controls your hay fever bluueesss!"

Made me laugh, hay fever, a family of sneezing idiots and retarded rock music really don't mix well.

Nobody can speak ill of the football ads though. They're superb.

Why do they need to dub American voices with English ones? Do they think that the American voices will put people off of buying Macdonalds? I thought the taste would have done that way before now...

But, it is nice to see Rutger Hauer back in a Guinness advert, seems like many years ago that those ads were on (1987 in fact)

As I said with the Panda thing. Another thing that winds me up is calling apparantly mystical/powerful/clever etc people names like Bob or Bill. It's like these names somehow contradict their position. Was funny when it first was used.......2500 years ago.

The one that really winds me up is the Colgate ad. You know the one - that toothpaste man gets out and has a shield. He deflects the food away from the teeth. He has a headset to talk to the voice over guy.

Some of you might think these are the reasons for my hatred. You would be wrong.....it's his name - Tom. Why Tom? It's never explained. Why not Dave? Or Bob?

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Toms. I like the name Tom. I have friends called Tom. But I have no idea why this stupid toothpaste man is called Tom. AND IT WINDS ME UP

I have problems.

That's reminded me of it. It should die.

On the other hand, that advert that advertising some Pasta sauce thing, with the panda's, is absolutely hilareous.

*Phoar, that smells beltin'"

All Howards are lame, Howard.
