"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?

It's more 'spaaaahces' than 'spiii-ceees', I believe.

Adverts that are badly dubbed really p!ss me off.

McDonalds, Vanish and Capital one do it all the time. And I'm pretty sure McDonalds only does it so they don't have American accents anymore. Would be midly acceptable is they'd ever actually heard of lip-synching.

"Change is good" ARGH. *hits table in anger*

I take offence. :D

The hayfever advert is particularly amusing, due to its poorness.

"Zultec(?) gets rid of your hayfever bluuuues"

And that crappy fajita advert:

"Aromatiiiic spiii-ceees."

I remember the first time I saw a Capital One ad I sat staring at the screen for 10 seconds in silence when it finished before uttering "What the hell was that all about?"
