Just seen one of those Halifax adverts...

[benjii]

Aggghhhh - I think I might kill myself.

 

****ing hell, what a bunch of smug, soulless, small minded ass-holes.

 

I can't believe how much I hate the bastards and *****es in those adverts. Aggghhh.

[Thedelldays]

go and play with fire

[Trader]

I know 2 people who have closed their accounts because of those ads.

[scotty]

I've managed to miss the recent ones, but do they still have that annoying idiot with the glasses in them? howard something?

[Liquidshokk]

I'd happily punch the woman who does that stupid head movement to one of the songs... Smug ****s indeed....

[Trader]

ISA ISA baby

[Whitey Grandad]

I hate them too. They are obviously not aimed at me.

argh!!! if i was the bloke, i'd shove the microphone down her throat ! smug cow!

[Clapham Saint]

I guess they are aimed at the "youth market"?

 

To me however they appear to be advertising banking for morons.

Yes, I worry for the future of the country.

Ditto,

 

That add has got to me so badly that I turn into Charles Manson when it is on. I would like to straighten that girls nose!

[Huffton]

argh!!! if i was the bloke, i'd shove the microphone down her throat ! smug cow!

 

I'd shove something down her throat, but it wouldn't be a microphone...

[benjii]

It is a relief to know I'm not the only one who wants to punch those people.

If you only want to punch them/her then you're a bit of a nancy boy.

Always hated the Halifax Ads. We are sailing, Howard the **** etc. Closed my account and took it to the Nationwide years ago as a direct result.

That bloody Go Compare ad is driving me mental as well. Do these people who come up with these ad campaigns realise that they are turning their clients into hate figures?

'Go compare,

Go compare,

Give me a bat to smack the tw*t,

On Go compare....'

[benjii]

The Go Compare advert is class.

[SNSUN]

I'd tap the girl that breaks the handle of her mug, but aside from that I can't stand them either. Murder them all, but keep her as a sex slave.

 

(SNSUN would like to point out that he does not endorse the killing of advert actors at all, keeping one for sex slavery though is borderline.)

[Thedelldays]

I hate the window sales advert...some fat northener saying "you buy one, you got one free"

In the interests of sexual equality you should keep a slave of every sex.

[aintforever]

The marketing agency who thought that up should all be herded out into a field and machine-gunned. Why the **** would a bank have a radio station? Apart from the actors being tossers the whole concept is ****.

Have to agree with Thedelldays.The louder he shouts,the more i want to kick the tv in.

But the fact that we are all remembering these hidious adverts,mean the people who think of them are doing their jobs properly.

[Jillyanne]

I can't wait to see what 'Go Compare' come up with for their christmas advert. No doubt the fat t w a t in a Santa suit.

Advertisers call it the 'annoyance factor', they use it to get attention of viewers. I'm surprised you haven't heard of it.

Surely it has the opposite effect though, I would never bank with or buy a Halifax product or give that window company the time of day. I would rather always use a local person (most things you need done, there is someone on here who can do it) than the national advertised companies.

[Mao Cap]

The annoyance factor works best for little-known websites like GoCompare, Comparethemarket etc., advertising is hugely important to them because making the public aware of them is the main thing, not worrying about pishing people off.

 

Hard to see how this approach works for a large financial instituion, however. Everyone's heard of the Halifax. There's doubtless some clever reasoning behind it, but.

She even had her own tribute thread on here a while ago.

[Saint Billy]

I think the Iceland advert with Jason Donovan making a right t i t of himself is getting my blood pressure rising now.

 

God that annoying music, a mixture of the Can Can and a T Rex rift, advertising food that looks like it has been scraped off the pavement is driving me insane.

 

I'm a celeb has got a lot to answer for, as that is the time every year that Iceland bless us with their cheap tacky adverts using has been and meaningless celebs to advertise their pig swill which continues all through Dec until the new year.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhh

[Trader]

They've even dropped Kerry.

 

She doesn't even rate as has-been now.

 

Poor cow.

[CB Saint]

Love them or hate the the halifax Go compare et al have 35 posts on here talking about them.

 

While we are on the subject that "Webuyanycar.com" ad is terrible

Great comment posted below that Halifax ad.

 

"I find this add most annoying. I wish that girls head would fall off when she's nodding it in the guy's face. If I was him, I would punch her & say "Oi gargoyle!, keep your ****ing ugly mush out of my face & stop invading my personal space". I do not find her attractive, in fact, I wouldn't ride her into battle. Also, If that lialac tank top she is wearing is part of Halifax's corporate image, another waste of tax payers money. That colour makes me feel sick."

[70's Mike]

Stop the adverts and pay more interest
