Oh! I could go on forever! But I'll just say: "Lombard Direct.com!"
Relax darling, I'm on top of the situation -{

Sorry to dig up old wounds seeing that this thread has been dormant for quite awhile; this commercial doesn't necessarily get up my nose. On the contrary, I can't stop laughing everytime it airs. )
I'm really sorry, but I have very cruel and brutal thoughts about how to shut that kid up...
And what's the new Virgin Trains ad all about?? I really liked the previous one, with all the characters from classic films involving trains, but this one... Red Indians? Eh? In Lancashire? While in reality, the train would be late, overcrowded, the passengers would be roasting alive with the heating rammed on, screaming kids, white noise from students' iPods, and all would be cursing themselves at how much they'd have saved on Megabus...
That Snickers commericial is just so sad, pathetic and funny.
I like that Vonage one but I prefer the other one -- "Oooh Dolphins!!!" )

Yeah, MBE- I just saw the Dolphin one this morning for the first time. I guess you can never milk the "dumb blonde" routine too much. )
But the geek and the hottie are priceless. Notice how long it takes him to react before the pain and stumble. I just lose it everytime. I wonder how many takes they did on that? )

This is one of those ads that you know was conceived and filmed, not to get the public to ride Virgin Trains, but to impress fellow ad execs with their "concept". Us punters aren't meant to understand it, or even like it; the point is, it cost a lot of money.
I don't know if this one shows in the UK, but what really gets up my nose is the Dockers pants commercial. It's been shown a lot on the Discovery Channel lately, the one with the 1940s woman singing "Go, boy, go... Go, boy, go..."
Argh! Just typing that got it stuck in my head again! X-(

Yeah I think the Levi pants commercials are pretty dumb too.

Yes, yes, yes. Have you seen the ones where the commercial stops and someone comes out holding the product. They usually say, "Head On, your commercial are annoying. But your product works."
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
In South Africa there was, and probably still is, a highly annoying advert for some air-freshener, where this annoying housewife explains how it works and why it isn't just an ordinary air freshener. And it was very badly filmed. It made me mad everytime I saw it, and just thinking about, I want to find the person who made that ad and thump him!!

Currently there's a commercial on for BMW that is being overplayed. It's a home video of a 7 or 8 y/o boy unwraping a gift. He and his sister are excited by this gift, but he's over excited. His excitement almost has his eyes bugging out of his head, then the screaming starts finished off by fist pumping and a line of "yes, yes yes". The commercial ends with the line "dreams can come true this holiday season." I guess you have to see it to nderstand.

It's not this is it? This is old but maybe it's being used.
Anything that toots it's horn as a revolutionary way of climbing out of debt or making money at home. If your self help book is so outstanding, then why are you airing it at three am?
Now if we're discussing the best commercial, ol' smiling Bob for natural male enhancement gets the vote.
Have seen the new Marks & Spencers ad several times and I always automatically think of Bond when it comes on. Just found the ad here.
Ad storyline: With a James Bond theme supermodel Erin O'Connor is doing a photo-shoot by London Bridge when she gets a call, Noemie Lenoir is reading a book at home as she also gets a call, then Twiggy gets a call while she is having a meal. Then snow-bikes are seen speeding over a snow covered landscape before pulling up a huge Crystallised building, the first rider pulls her helmet off and it's model Elizabeth Jagger, the next is Noemie Lenoir and on the end is Erin O'Connor. Twiggy arrives on a sleigh and has Christmas presents delivered. Inside the Crystal hotel the models each open Twiggy's presents and are getting ready for the party. As they walk down the staircase to the party the singer is revealed as Shirley Bassey performing her version of Pink's Get This Party Started.

One commercial that's getting on my last nerve is the latest Snickers one.
I just want to reach through my tv set and beat that guy with his own guitar if I hear him strum another note. I just don't like it and that guy looking weird as he's biting down on that candy bar is a little strange...

Yup. That's the one being used. Of course, they've edited it down a bit and digatlly put a picture of a robot in place of the picture of the N64 on the box. I just can't get over the boys eyes bugging out (perfectly slowed down in provided link).

One thing that really annoys me are trailers which featuring a narrator talking about how controversial the TV show/film is. Nine times out of 10, the advertised TV show/film isn't particularly controversial. 8-)
"He’s a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling back—that’s an earthquake. and then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and you’re finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory." Death of a Salesman
Nicole frigging Kidman in that Chanel advert. I was subjected to the full length version (with credits!!!) before CR; I have never cringed so much in my life. Nicole trying to be wild and enthusiastic - she's a beautiful, talented actress, but she's too cold to run around in men's shirts giggling "I'm a dancer!" (and, by the way, her accent swings from the UK to Australia to America throughout). It's agonizingly pretentious, ridiculously over the top, and makes me want to boycott Chanel forever.
Talk about commercials that get up your nose--here's one that's in your nose. Maybe this is on my mind because I'm getting over a cold right now, but I could really live without those Mucinex commercials featuring "Mr. Mucus" and his brood:
South Park's Mr. Hankey to promote their product. . .
Hardy Boy just reminded me of a comercial for a product to help Toe fungus or something. They live insdie your toenail its pretty vile. anyway heres there mascot

That is,without doubt, my most hated advert on the TV. I'm on the verge of NOT buying Frosties as a result! X-(

But the geek and the hottie are priceless. Notice how long it takes him to react before the pain and stumble. I just lose it everytime. I wonder how many takes they did on that?
