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?

I can't decide whether the Burger King Euro 2004 advert is good or rubbish.

"Pigeon! Pigeon! Pigeon!"

"We're in the park! We're in the park!"

"You are recycling!" and etc.

Meh...

The KFC one is annoying me at the moment now. Not the advert itself, the basic concept of it is fine, guy buys the food in question and we find out how much it costs blah blah that's all good, however the guy in the advert for some reason just annoys me.

It's the part of the advert when he chucks the penny into the fountain and his girlfriend appears. His reaction just stirs something in me that i find annoying and i don't know what it is. He looks like the nerd in school when the prettiest girl sits next to him in class. He has stupid hair too :-D

Erm...

...is it just me, or has there not been a Pokemon ad for about a long, long time?

The Pokémon adverts have always sucked.

In trying to lose their kiddie image, they provide adverts full of kids who can't act throwing pokéballs and exploring caves whilst mis-pronouncing many Pokémon names...
