Worst TV Advertisement - YorkieTalk.com Forums

What TV advertisement do your really dislike, hate, drives you nuts and why ?

Please describe the advertisement so we all understand what it is and why it drives you nuts.

In the UK we have one which really does blow my head and we turn the sound off every time it is on TV. We sit with the remote in hand just waiting for it to appear and it is run on every channel on TV.

The advert is for an insurance comparison web site called "Go Compare" and I feel sure it is aimed at low intelligence people.

In the advert a silly man dressed in a dinner suit wearing a stupid waxed handle bar moustache sings a song about "go compare".
Whilst the theme changes the song is the same every time but the whole thing is so silly I just can not stand either the song/tune or the stupid man and his stupid actions.

We do exactly the same thing!!!

If I'm not in the room - Andy actually turns it over! Aaaargh!!

I must admit - I like the Morrisons ads though, with Freddie Flintoff and 'Let it Shine' song. This last one has Brucie in it and is set in Kingston market place, which is our local town. They're always such happy adverts!

I hate the geico cave man commercials. Dumbest. Thing. Ever.

yorkietalkjilly · 12-21-2011, 10:58 AM

All those commercials for Viagra and the like. They just blanket the airwaves with them and it is so embarrassing and just wrong to have to listen to that while trying to visit with your grown son or neighbors!!! I have gotten to the point of recognizing the first strains of the music and just pick up the remote and change the channel - often right into another such commercial!!! I have gotten to the point that I resent having to think about this subject on a daily basis due to these commercials! Ugh!

Harrysmum · 12-21-2011, 11:04 AM

Are they on television, Jeanie?

I don't think we have them on tv here - but then I suppose we're a "little behind" !!!

Yes, we do have them over here - just not that tv advert!! They're usually only advertised in funny little magazine leaflets - or in Ironmongers shops!!!
