Ok the biggie: your most hated Adverts. - Page 12

Currently, the advert which really irritates me is the mind-numbingly stupid one for the Mini Countryman.

We have three blokes and a toddler in the car. The blokes start screaming, stop the car and get out so that the toddler can pee against a tree. We then have two blokes eating sushi in the front seats while two sushi chefs chop up raw fish in the back.

WTF?

What are they saying about the car? You can eat raw fish in it, and it's best not to let a toddler piss in the back seats?

Wow! Unique selling point, guys! It's unlike any other car I can think of!

I hate the Head n Shoulders advert with Jenson Button. He's a really nice guy and an excellent driver but he cant act to save his life.

Can we have the sexy nurses in the shower version back again!

I also massively dislike the new Pimms advert, you know thew politically correct one that looks like a gay pride march.

Again can we have the old funny Pimms adverts back please.

Mini Countryman advert

Another unique thing about that ad is you don't actually see them getting the kid out of the car. As it is the 'Countryman' version of the Mini, it has one door to access the back seats & would mean they have to exit onto the road directly into traffic

I think the new Countryman has four doors, but if that's the point their trying to make, they've failed miserably because they don't show all the doors being used.

Back when I was in the UK, there was an extremely annoying advert for the Halif*x Building Society. It featured a rather annoying popular tune, and an even more annoying actress 'singing' it, she was a rather plump version of Jane Rossington from Crossroards, for those that remember the UK soap of that name.

It was dire!! Unfortunately, I still have a few videos recorded from that time that have the advert on!

Most hated adverts? The goddamn pop-ups that keep appearing on this site, despite my anti pop-up firewall...

I really hate all of the Progressive Insurance ads with that annoying Flo. As a matter of fact, all of the auto insurance ads really suck. But I do have a great idea. How about putting Progressive Flo, the Geico Gekko, and that annoying puke from the Arby's commercials on an island that is about to be used for testing nukes? That is a commercial we can all appreciate!
