Money Supermarket adverts

Anyone else thinking this is all going a bit far now? A bit like all that meerkat shite.

(And no, it hasn't made me remember the brand because I just had to wait for the end of the advert to see who it was so I could post it on here!)

    Mind you, the following two adverts were for incontinence pads and a treatment for bacterial vaginosis, so maybe it isn't that bad after all .....

    The Meerkat thing has longevity though, they bring out new toys every so often which have a high demand (always sell mine on ebay). Money supermarket ads are just fucking annoying.

    I really really hate the builders/strutters thing. And all the James Corden adverts, whoever they are for but that's just because he's a gobby twat. Don't mind the meerkats as much, but it's probably mainly because the guy who voices them is Michael the Geordie in Alan Partridge so I like him.

    The argument is it makes you remember and talk about them, like we are now, but in reality there comes a point where you annoy people so much they consciously decide NOT to use your service, I won't use the annoying ones.

    Is that the blueprint for Katrien at Charlton?

    The current 'rivalry' ads make my teeth itch.

    Not even remotely entertaining.

    Whilst realising these dancing pricks get paid for what they're doing, I still wouldn't for fear of being ridiculed by my friends and family for the rest of my life.
  • They're as bad as the old Confused.com ads

    Are these the ones with the geezer in high heels and hot pants. Makes me feel sick.

    I can cope with any of the above.
    It's the ones from banks and loan sharks saying, 'We're on your side. We're here for you' that have me shouting obscenities at the tv.

    Best, financial related, ad at the moment is the Aviva one with David Coulthard as the disguised mad cabbie. Youtube clip if you haven't seen it here.
