MoneySupermarket.com – Omid Djalili – A Great Deal Easier
14 January 2010 by SilkyThe planets must be aligned because it was exactly a year ago today that I wrote about the “still hilarious after all this time” Aleksandr the meerkat from the “just when you thought racism couldn’t get any funnier” CompareTheMarket.Com adverts.
Those of you with little better to waste your life upon will remember that I rather amusingly claimed that Omid Djalili would be starring in their next advert as the “compere” of a “market”. At the time it seemed like a rather harmless little joke. Well no-one’s laughing now.
Here’s Omid starring in the new advert for MoneySupermarket.com:
OK, OK. He’s not exactly compering the market. But surely this is a little too coincidental, wouldn’t you say?
Is this another case of TV’s Worst Adverts not getting the credit it deserves?
Just How Bad is this Ad?

I have no idea who Omid Djalili is, but what I do know is I’m throughly sick of the sight of him.
How many price comparison sites do we need? we already have confused/gocompare/comparethemarket…… all complete with never ending monotonous adverts.
Good to see TWA has finally been updated though… I look forward to the next post!

I saw this the other day and thought “what the fuck is Omid doing in this ad?!”
Still, it’s better than Peter Jones or as Charlie Brooker calls him, MoneySupermarket twat Peter Jones.

Welcome back Silky! It’s been a while.
Omid Djalili seems to be doing surprising well for himself considering he’s only got this one joke.
almost witty
Said on the 16 January 2010
Ob. disclaimer – I’m an Omid fan -but at least this advert is MUCH better than the uber-cringeworthy Peter “I’m just reading off an autocue and hamming it up” Jones for MoneySupermarket

He’s basically made a career for himself as Middle England’s token Arab/Persian, the acceptable face of the Middle East, a bit like how Meera Syal has the market cornered for female Asian roles regardless of genre or suitability.
Still, not as bad as Chegger’s Bingo… Is the recession so bad that people are now regularly hiring high school media students rather than ad agencies to do their promos?

Shit, this site’s back up. That’s one more thing to keep me occupied at my desk when I shoud be working. I was just starting to wean myself off Speak You’re Branes.
Now come on Silky, let’s get cracking on that bloody weird Halifax radio advert…
Daniel Newton
Said on the 22 January 2010
Yes bloody weird Halifax advert indeed – Halifax are known for horrendous adverts but this one really takes the biscuit.
Another point to make; Getting £5 free every month as this advert advertises, excellent except you have to put AT LEAST £1,000 in every month or your account gets closed, hmmm £5 for every £1,000 what a fantastic deal…..lets all sign up now…….

I think we should have a complaint about the direct.gov ad which is extremely annoying. “i think you should go direct, guv”
it shows just how retarded the nation has become that the government itself does these kinds of ads. i hate them so much
Billy
Said on the 24 January 2010
Actually, the 0.5% is very good, and better compared to any other current account. And the majority of people do have £1k put in their bank account a month. I just think it’s a bloody weird advert.
Though not as nauseating as T-Mobile’s fake indie-boy Josh, the kooky twentysomething who has put together a supergroup solely from free texts. Ugh.
Daniel Newton
Said on the 24 January 2010
Billy, I detest ‘josh’ with a passion; I’m sick of hearing his stupid whiney voice every time I turn on the radio or TV
“I’m just announcing a tour on myspace” – I dont bloody care!
Stop baning on about “free texts” – every mobile operator gives free texts and O2 gives 80% more free texts than T-ShitBile but you dont see O2 banging on every single set of advert’s…..

Billy who is this majority you speak of? I don’t know anyone who earns over 400 a week. There are bills to pay you know…
Billy
Said on the 26 January 2010
Jolly Rodger – If you earn £12k or above net a year, then that comes to £1k a month in your account, regardless of bills or how much you take out.
I don’t know many people who earn over £400 a week either. But I do know plenty of people who earn over £12k a year after tax.
Shit, their weird advert is working in a way they couldn’t have imagined. I should be getting commission here.

If you read the terms and conditions you only have to put in 1k a month, you can take it out again, several banks and building societys have used the similar offers before… I am more concerned with Halifax adverts (

This is a good advert, when are you gonna draw the line on this site? It seems that every advert is one of the worst on TWA. This isn’t a good advert for TWA, which means that TWA is one of the worst adverts.

He was in Gladiator as well, if anyone can remember..
I don’t find this advert annoying at all. We have far greater enemies to our TV screens such as the fat bastard opera singer on the ‘go compare’ advert, or Ex Bill actor, Billy murrey telling us that “injuries are when we get hurt by something….or someone else “…No shit Mr dictionary.
Confused.com have just done a new advert, with a compilation of the greatest moments from past ‘confused.com’adverts that we can lovingly look back at and think ” Ahh, I rememeber that one….it was the day when I coudn’t take anymore of that EMO kid, and threw the dog at the TV”
Sadly, we also now have a new advert featuring that greased up pastey pepperami, Iggy pop, and it’s even more annoying spitting image doll, that makes me wanna honk.
Billy

Agree with most people, this certainly isn’t that bad an ad, and there are plenty of worse ones about.
vryannoyed – I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Bill Murray in the Injuries advert, but I know who you mean!

Said on the 16 February 2010
by the wiki definition, this advert is hate-speech
Hate speech is speech perceived to disparage a person or group of people based on their social or ethnic group,[1] such as race, gender, age, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, language ability, ideology, social class, occupation, appearance (height, weight, skin color, etc.), mental capacity, and any other distinction that might be considered by some as a liability.
maybe the British are proud of the concept and philosophy of ‘fixed prices’, maybe Jesus overturned the tables in the Temple for a valid reason.
Nowadays I am forced to spend every waking minute ‘getting the best deal’ – who cares? why not just enjoy trust, community and universal aspirations? We don’t all want to revert to tribes of extended families endlessley haggling and fighting, even if the politicians are rapidaly forcing us back to those primitive times before the Enlightenment.
Smithery Baggins
Said on the 17 February 2010
@ vryannoyed, I totally agree with all your suggestions, here are some more just off the top of my head:
Gillette – they tend to make some terrible ads but I can’t stand the new one where they have giant razors replicating a car garage and a mechanic telling some moron he needs to change the blades, it’s just so retarded.
Iceland – every ad they make is just awful but they manage to get even worse each time.
Halifax – I know the old Howard ones are already on here but the new ones are if anything even worse, they really haven’t got a clue how to do ads.
T-mobile – many people may not agree with me on this one but every single T-mobile ad really annoys the hell out of me, they just generally try way too hard to be realistic and cool but fail miserably.
OK thats my rant over for now.

Another advert that’s starting to make my piss boil is Weetabix (the one with the horse and rider) where hes sitting at the table and the horse says “and hay” its so unbelievably not funny (I’m assuming its supposed to be) unless of course your incredibly simple…. Also I don’t see why they have to show it on practically every single set of adverts; if you are incredibly simple and did find this funny then unless you have a serious brain deficiency you wont find it funny after the 150′th time.

Here are some more ads that really make me want to smash the TV:
Credit Expert – This advert is just so bloody annoying. Why the fuck does that idiot FRAME all his credit statements?! You’d have to be a complete and utter SADDO to do that! I’m sick of seeing that twat of a butler! Just fuck off!
Halifax – Do I even need to explain this? My urge to blow up that studio just grows each time I see this ad!
Perle De Lait – This is yet another fucking yoghurt advert. Here we have this woman who complains that some yoghurts are too sour and then “her face lit up” when she tried Perle De Lait. What the fuck? It’s a YOGHURT! Since when are yoghurts SOUR?! Also, the voice-over is so bloody annoying. This is a French advert with some BADLY DUBBED OVER English. I hate it when these kind of adverts appear!
Webuyanycar – Again, do I even need to explain this? Most annoying song EVER!
LG – I’m talking about these bloody annoying sponsorship ads that appear on E4 during “The Cleveland Show” and Scrubs. The ad features this twat of a fucking Ne-Yo ripoff. I hate the singing, it’s just so ANNOYING!
Mars – This is the annoying set of sponsorship ads that appear during TV Burp. I’m really sick of seeing stupid bags of sweets juggling, dancing and doing stupid shit. I want to watch TV Burp, not this horrible CRAP!
Colgate – Pro-Argin Formula? What the fuck are you on about, Colgate?! Speak some fucking English! Adverts that use scientific gibberish like this for no reason should be BANNED! Also, I hate that woman that taps the pen on the screen.
MaltEaster (Maltesers) – It’s fucking MARCH, and you’re wishing us a happy Easter!? I know it’s nearer to Easter now but this shit started in FEBRUARY! Also, those women are so annoying.
KIA – Yes, we know 7 is more than 3. Stop telling me every 10 fucking minutes!

Ad Hater 2.0 I completely agree with you however……
Glade and Crock-oda-fridge? – I’m completely baffled by the horrendous dubbing used for these adverts, personally I don’t know why I company like Glade would allow them to be shown, its just embarrassing and looks like something a 6 year old made while playing with a computer.
Direct Line – Every time I see this advert my urge grows to kill Stephen Fry and Paul Merton, How many times must I endure 52 days worth of free fucking car insurance? stop telling my every 11 minuets, its beyond a fucking joke how many times this pile of shit has been repeated.
Churchill – Arghh! their marketing department needs to seriously get some new ideas, Really Churchill? FUCK OFF and again how many times must I endure “sponsored parachute jump”?
Bill Murry (Injury Lawyers 4 U) – Where 100% “”"REAL”"” lawyers, Pardon? was that advert made for simple people? why does he put so much emphasis on the word real? as if their going to be plastic or something!
National Accident Helpline (Esther) – Please just go away, this advert is 7 years old get back in your coffin ester and fuck off
National Advise Helpine – Fell off the wrong type of ladder? Tripped walking through a reception with no warning singes? or perhaps you where walking through a warehouse and tripped on plastic strapping while wearing high heals? if you where injured doing these things you should FUCK OFF and be slapped across the face for even thinking about claiming compensation for your own negligence. This advert infuriates me so much talk about Ambulance Chasers! £7,000 for falling off the ‘wrong type’ of ladder – DONT GO UP IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! you should have been fined £7,000 for being so negligent!
Winns Solicitors Smug Bastard – ARGGHHH this advert is beyond words “so very British” its so annoying FUCK OFF
Dale Winton Cash 4 Gold – Oh Please! this is so badly done its untrue! are we expected to believe these people are real? you can clearly see them smiling at the camera!
Their are probably loads more….

Another thing I hate are those annoying Supermarket and department store ads that claim one is cheaper than the other. ASDA, I don’t fucking care if you have 1500 cheaper products than Tesco and any other supermarkets. Usually, it is then followed later on with Tesco saying that 1.1 million baskets were cheaper than ASDA. I’m sick of these companies claiming that they carried out an independent price check. It’s just an excuse to get more people to shop at their stores. Please just fuck off with this crap!

The newest Vanish advert makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and is shit. Not only do we have that bitch in pink showing up in the house out of nowhere uninvited but there’s this boy who plays football and two things confuse me about it. First, the shirt he wears has a number 1 on it and he is NOT a goalkeeper. The other thing is that his shirt is PINK! Who the fuck would ever wear a pink shirt in a FOOTBALL match? If anyone turned up like that, I’m sure they’d get beaten up and laughed at. What the fuck were you thinking, Vanish?!

“This week we had X cheaper than X and X more than X” then I LOVE “Independent Price Checker” – I would like to see this *Independent* price checker and why they allow their name to be used by ASDA to slag off Morrison’s and Tesco….
I must come back to Windows 7, their adverts where someone does something in 7 seconds are horrendous – especially “I’m a PC and Its Tea Time” oh please! makes me ashamed to own Windows 7
Also Activia Tummy Loving Care…. Please just fuck off you stupid fucking cunt! I’m fed up of that patronising fucking idiot banging on about “Tummy Loving Care”…. its a fucking yoghurt!!!!
Churchill – How many more times must I endure “Skiing with Eddy the Eagle”? It was not funny the first time round and its not after the 953829,85782,528357 time also I don’t give a flying fuck about free breakdown cover so stop telling me!
T-Mobile – I want to MURDER whoever makes their adverts “Some rules can feel outdated, like all boys under 16 still having to practice arrow shooting” or “being able to heard sheep through the city of London” or “Thinking smart phones have to cost a fortune”
1) WHO FUCKING CARES!
2) You can get a smart phone for £60 in Argos/Phones4U which is much fucking cheaper than your £120 ‘cheep’ smart-phone

Totally agree with all the very funny comments made by AdHater 2.0 & Daniel Newton, I have a couple more ads that cannot be missed out:
Natwest – I just hated the last ones where there was some stupid bitch that wanted to open a bloody bank account for her new born baby plus a load of other annoying fuck wits, the new ones aren’t much better either with the Natwest rep trying to teach a class morons some common knowledge.
Mikado – I hoped this ad was banned or something for being so unbelievably retarded but I’m sorry to say it’s back on, it’s the one where an Asian guy walks in on an Asian girl photocopying her cunt by accident and the voice over says “a little bit of what you fancy”, you really have to be a retarded pervert that needs to get out more to find this ad even remotely amusing. I don’t know what’s worse the fact that it’s even allowed to be shown on British TV or that it’s not on this very poorly maintained website, I hate it about as much as the Glade Touch & Fresh shite which is rightly at no.1 of the most annoying ads.

From the moment I saw this advert last week I thought What The Fuck has Potatoes got to do with Toy Story? – are they short of cash or something? Since then this cunt has been on about 700 times! Sorry Toy Story but every time I see this I think What The Fuck? its like Die Hard 5 being sponsored by Vagisil!

Yet another advert to add to the list:
M&S – I’m really fucking sick of the M&S ads for their shit clothes. They go on for too long and use such shit music. Also, you see those clothes in the ad thinking they look good but then when you go to look at them in the shop, they look complete SHITE! FUCK OFF M&S!!
This is just the short version I’m seeing which is 50 fucking seconds long. However, I find that their is a FULL version after searching on Youtube and it lasts 90 fucking seconds! Seriously, I don’t give a shit about your clothes!

Need to add a few more too;
*** Fairy ***
Fuck off, I don’t care how much it ‘moisturizes’ my hands while I’m cleaning the dishes, and the stupidly long advert that goes “I hardly ever buy Fairy” has turned into a joke in our household! – the first one to shout “Because I shoplift it” Wins!
*** Persil ***
Can you please get someone to voice over your adverts that doesn’t sound like some stuck up middle aged woman with mental health issues, urghh her voice is so fucking patronizing!
*** Peugeot Crossover (Sponsors Shameless) ***
Fuck You!!! this advert is awful, just so stupid “well mr.persy your advances are quite unwelcome” and “multitasking without the drama” – FUCKING HELL ITS A CAR FOR FUCK SAKE!!!
*** Currys ***
If I hear that fucking patronizing cunt say “we can help” one more fucking time I’m going to drive down to curry’s and play merry fucking hell!
I went to currys three weeks ago to get replacement headphones for my iPod and was swifity told they don’t sell them anymore because their “rubbish” and I was swindled into buying some JVC rubbish that was “Compatible Fully with my iPod” 3 days later my Earphone jack broke off and Apple wont replace it because I was using JVC headphones THAT CURRYS FUCKING RECOMMENDED Lieing Cunt’s! “we can help” Sure you can!

Another thing, that advert for Monster Hunter 3 didn’t show ANY gameplay AT ALL! Instead, we get a bunch of cutscenes which are not even in the fucking game. There’s some small print which says “Not actual game footage.” Then what the fuck is the point of showing this?!
Some more ads that I hate:
Change 4 Life – “I was Jack the lad…”, I DON’T FUCKING CARE!! I don’t need to be reminded about what too much fat can do to you 20,000 fucking times a day! Stupid government funded shit!
Warburtons – “We care because it’s got our name on it.” Wait a minute, doesn’t that sound like Wickes?! You fucking copycats! Also, this ad has absolutely no point whatsoever. We don’t even see the bread!
Xbox 360 Call of Duty – This advert is very disturbing. The way he says everyone is doing it makes it sound as if he’s describing people having sex but it’s really him saying that people are downloading that Stimulus Package from Modern Warfare 2.

Activia Intensely Creamy – I am so fucking sick of having to see this bloody annoying woman spinning around in her stupid chair and banging on about Tummy Loving Care. IT’S A FUCKING YOGHURT!!

“Who in their right mind is going to give some twatty company their valuable Gold in return for bits of paper called money which are backed by nothing and so are worth nothing?”
Bits of paper called money? I suppose by that you mean paper money i.e currency/cash/pound notes. What is worth nothing? The money or the gold? I think you may have misunderstood the concept.
“Why are these shity cheap ads springing up lately?”
Aah that question again. I had this question the other day in one of my Live Q & A sessions I tend to do now and again Noris McGuirter style. The Young Man who asked me was a Retard who had just woken up under a mulberry bush having been thrown there due to having gone through the wrong toilet door in a UFO. (he had been abducted by Aliens a few years back and wanted to know how Jade Goody was doing these days) These shitty cheap ads are springing up lately because the price of gold has steadily rose in value against currency and stock markets and Cash for Gold and other Gold Companies want your gold because they will give you less than what its worth and make a profit. Whilst you can take the cash and spend it on dope.
“Ill keep my Gold thanks…unless Dale Whinton asks for it….”
I doubt you have any gold as you have probably already sent it off. As for Dale Whinton asking for it? I doubt he would as I am sure he can do better than you. And by the way every single Comedian has done a gag on the cash for gold adverts so leave it eh. Its been done a zillion times. Yawn

Dulcoease ‘Stool Softener’ with that boz-eyed bint and her dozy mates wittering on about having a hard shite …. as you do on a girls’ lunch. They should try my home made chicken Madras instead. Far tastier and spectacular results guaranteed.
Witlshire Farm Foods. Oh, really! As if a nice old lady like that (even if she has got a really annoying laugh and has clearly never heard of boundaries where delivery men are concerned) would serve up overpriced microwaved slurry to her grandchildren! Tsk tsk! My late Gran, God rest her, would have choked on her Park Drive at the very notion.
National Accident Helpline. That swamp donkey who falls over in reception and does her knee in. She obviously didn’t spend her compo on a decent hairstylist, did she? That fringe is nothing less than care in the community. Should be banned on grounds of taste and style alone.
Anything with Jamie Oliver in it. A twat of monumental proportions, someone should take that pan of sausages and insert them up his rectum. He should also be force-fed Turkey Twizzlers, Pot Noodles, Feasters Fish Finger Sandwiches (1 minute in the microwave), and gallons of Irn Bru. He should then be marched at gunpoint to the nearest registry office and made to rename all his unfortunate daughters something sensible, like Karen or Linda or Julie. Utter tosser.

If you are fast enough, a bit like Miggs from Silence of the Lambs, prepare properly and are ready you can crack one off during the Ad if you can orgasm quickly you can money shot as the cheque for £5000 fills the screen.

Well, Dan Moral, what an amusing, if somewhat disturbing scenario regarding Ms Swamp Donkey and her compensation cheque! Sadly, since I’m a tad hampered by my gender on this one, being a laydee and not in possession of the requisite, erm, physiology to contribute to a money shot, I fear this particular avenue of pleasure must necessarily remain a mystery to me. Never mind, there’s always vodka. Oh, and if you do get a payout from the National Accident Helpline for your pulled muscle, I want half of it, please. I feel this is only fair, being the author of the mirth-provoking post. Thanks.
More Annoying/Crap Adverts.
Mikado Biscuit/stick things. Now, when I was a child in the 70′s and firms wanted to advertise sweet things on the telly, they thought up normal, fun stuff involving comedy penguins and nice little lads dressed up as cowboys, all accompanied by an assortment of merry tunes and catchy jingles. Fast Forward to 2010 and what does the borderline psychopath at Mikado biscuit things come up with in order to persuade lots of average British housewives like me to buy their product? A Japanese girl photocopying her fanny. Smashing. To paraphrase Blackadder, call me Mrs Picky but I think I’ll stick to my Wagon Wheels, thanks all the same.
That ‘We Want to Buy Your Watch But Only if It’s Posh’ ad. I’m sorry, but I can’t recall the name of the firm, but it’s on every night and seriously gets on my mammaries. They want all your Brietlings, Longines, Rolexes, all that kind of thing and naturally, like most people I’ve got a garage full of unwanted Rolexes. I mean, why bother wearing a boring old Rolex when I can wear my five quid off the market job? What really lets this ad down is when the owner of the company appears on screen. You’ve never seen such a blinged up old spiv in your life, the living image of Cockney Wanker out of Viz comic and the sort who’d crowbar out his grandma’s gold fillings the minute she snuffed it. Personally I wouldn’t sell him the steam off my urine, let alone my hundreds of redundant Rolexes, because I have a funny feeling he wouldn’t give me very much money for them and might possibly try to rip me off. Call it female intuition.
Any Special K advert. “Stay Special” my arse. ‘Special’ meaning live on Special K, cigarettes and cocaine in order to fit in a crap red bikini and waft about looking like a vacant twat so that other vacant twats will approve of you. Well, Mr Special K, you misogynist tosspot, I suggest you take your box of inedible, crunchy shit and fuck off very quickly before you get my size 8 (shoe that is, not dress) slammed with great velocity into your scrotum.
Rimmel make up. “Get the London Look!” Oh, yes please! Because I’ve always aspired to look like a junkie skank with badly applied black stuff round my eyes like someone’s chinned me in the taxi queue. Bugger off immediately.
I’m sure I’ll think of more, but I’ve got to nip off and gnash my teeth for a bit. Sorry about that.

I know this is an Advert slagging off website not a Review site. But credit where credit is due You are a comedy genius Grumpyoldtrout! I just presumed you were a bloke because you were err funny. So you won’t be joining in a five knuckle shuffle over the National Accident Ads? Now obviously I was joking about the Swamp Donkey her face is the humane method of chemical castration. Even a full-sacked and Viagraed-up Miggs would get a Mr Floppy with that gurning bowl headed Mug in view.
HOWEVER, That Mikado advert is my all time favourite. I spat my tea and jammie dodgers out when I first saw it! It looks suspiciously like most of my porn collection. Pipping ‘French Underwear Model’ (Excused on my count and take a bow John Terry) into 2nd place as the sexiest grouping of words in the English Language straight in at #1 is ‘Japanese Girl Photocopying her fanny’. Whoever said advertising doesn’t work well I have just finished eating my second box of Mikados of the day.
Exactly! Why would anyone want the London look?? Having now escaped from London I don’t miss those ‘junkie skanks’ that look like they had been chinned in a taxi queue! Ha ha Brilliant!
As a child of the 70′s myself me and the family would gather aroud the TV and play Guess the Adverts shouting out Smiths Crisps, Typhoo Tea. Smash Mash, Levis 501s. These days it would be Direct Line, National Accident, Credit Expert Experian, Direct fucking Line! Gotta get down the shops I have run out of Special K and Mikados.

That one where a woman goes shopping with her teenage son, who’s eyeing up the shelf stacker like a pervert. He attempts to put a CD in the trolley, but AHA! no she finds it etc… Then they get to the checkout and exchange the two worst lines I’ve ever heard on TV:
“You know you get those nectar points, well.can I get that CD?”
“Go on then”

Welcome Grumpyoldtrout, you had me in stitches!
A few adverts getting on my tits lately…
*** Direct Line ***
Yes yet again I’m mentioning Direct Line, as I find I do to anyone I talk about TV too lately.. their response is always “I’m sick of that ad” well quite frankly so am I. WHY must we have to endure the same three adverts nearly every single set of adverts? Yes we bloody know your celebrating 25 years and you have 52 days worth free insurance – STOP TELLING US.
*** Tenor Lady ***
Ok, I accept that things like this are difficult to advertise but “What’s the first thing you notice about me?… it certainly wont be odour” Oh Please! that’s just about as subtle as showing her pissing her pants, which apparently she does on a regular basis – I bet the bloke shes dancing with gets a shock when he goes to sit down and finds his shoes are wet…
*** Halifax ***
“ISA ISA Baby” Surprisingly Halifax claim that all the people in their adverts are real employees, in which case I would be delighted if someone would be so kind as to point out which branch that insufferable woman works at; I would love to strangle her while singing “ISA ISA Baby”
*** Barcleys ***
I detest these adverts narrated by Stephan Merchant, especially the ones with the pound coins spinning around on the sticks.
*** Churchill ***
“Don’t believe everything he says, he told me he was xxxx with xxxx [unconvincing chuckle]” Yawn! every-time this comes on I’m diving for the mute button, I would say get some new adverts but out of fear of having to endure them until I vomit I’m going to say give the advertising a rest for a while.

World of Warcraft – I hate this stupid excuse of a multiplayer game and the fact that Mr. T appears in the advert. £10 a month to play a game?! NO THANKS! And fuck off with your stupid Mohawk Grenades!
BT 118 500 – Fuck off with your stupid directory enquiries service. Do you know how much that costs? 49p per call plus £1.16 PER FUCKING MINUTE?! Are you fucking serious?! Using that to get the number for a local takeaway would cost more than the fucking takeaway itself!
Foxy Bingo – Get the fuck off my TV now you stupid Fox and stop singing that “You’re the one that I want, the one that I want, ooh, ooh, ooooooh!” line all the time. It’s fucking repetitive and bloody ANNOYING!
All other Bingo adverts – FUCK OFF!
Asda – First Tesco gives us that essential savings bullshit and now Asda comes back with this shitty money saving guarantee with that mySupermarket shit on the screen!

*** Glade ***
Where to start? the dubbing, the actors (if you can call them that) or the horrendous script?
I detest how she says at the end “and its from Glade you know” – so fucking what? who actually gives a flying fuck?
Not only that the dubbing is just awful, on the advert where their doing ‘yoga’ and the stupid cunt bends down to see it “Plug’s into the wall more like [insert fake laugh here]” her mouth moves 5 SECONDS after we hear the voice over – are you fucking serious?
Piss Poor Frankly.

Huntingdon Garden & Leisure – Oh my God! The lip syncing in this ad is FUCKING ATROCIOUS! In fact, it has got to be the WORST lip syncing I’ve ever come across. The voices don’t even sync with the movement of the lips! Just witness the utter atrocity yourself: http://www.tellyads.com/show_movie.php?filename=TA8905
Thunderball – For fuck sake! How many more times do I need to be told that the top prize has doubled to £500K and that you can play on Fridays?! I DON’T FUCKING CARE! I really don’t give a shit about Thunderball!
Kerrygold – “We’re Kerrygold Irish farmers, and this is our ad.” Newsflash, your ad is SHIT! It looks like some shitty YouTube video!
Deal or No Deal Scratchcard – FUCK OFF! I’m sick of seeing that stupid woman chase Noel around the studio.
Safestyle BOGOF – Fucking hell, I can’t believe this shit is back on! “You buy one you get one free. I SAID YOU BUY ONE YOU GET ONE FREE.” SHUT UP!!

Carpet Right – First you say 50% off, next you say extra 20% off everything and then you say ANOTHER 10% off?! Why don’t you just say 80% for fuck sake?! No-one wants to shop at that shit store!

Ads guaranteed to make me wanna kill the person responsible for the ad – not the voiceover/actors, they whore themselves for their fee, it’s the marketing people or the employee of the company that OKs it I want to see suffer slow torture.
1. Webuyanycar.com – aimed at complete morons.
2. British Gas. Timothy Spall patronising your face off with lies.
3. Rimmel – WTF is the London Look? Anyway I think Luton has a much better ring to it.
4. Birds Eye – First they told us they ‘don’t play with your food’ (but not that they never used to). Part 2 of their strategy is to convince us their frozen junk is up there with the likes of M&S in a condescending voice.
5. All ads with female voiceovers with sexually suggesive tones that are totally unconnected with what the ad is about. Oh sure, you’re suggesting sex so we’ll sit up and remember your product. Dickheads. Remember ‘Fo-ord. Gives you mo-ore’. What the FUCK? It’s a fucking car not a 12″ dildo you voiceover whore.
6. All ads with female voiceovers in superior tones. “Finish – the diamond standard”. Someone should have reminded the bimbo she said it was “only dishwashing” 10 seconds ago. “Thoughtful Banking”. “Helpful Banking”. We’ll be the judge of that.
7. My Toyota. Toyota marketing director: “For Fuck’s Sake, we must keep our heads down until the fiasco over our brakes has died down and everyone’s forgotten”. (1 month later) Right, the coast’s clear everyone, put out a campaign that tells everyone what great care our employees take with our components, like our cars never had anything wrong with them, ever. Ever.

P.S. 8. Any products claiming to be “The Nation’s Favourite”. Cadbury were the first and only company to have a genuine claim to that. Then the mindless marketing morons jumped on the bandwagon. Next thing we have is Dreams – The Nation’s Favourite Bed Specialist. Sure, I go out and buy a bed once a month after I’ve shat in it and what’s foremost in my mind? Yes, I must go to the nation’s favourite bed specialist. Total shite.

P.P.S – 9. F’ing sofa adverts. Well I bought a DFS sofa in early December cos it was half price and I could have it for Xmas (wtf does everything have to arrive b4 xmas – does the world stop for Xmas FFS?). Then on Jan 1 I see this irresistible SFS offer of double discount so I buy that one. Then Easter comes and DFS have got another offer on but I’ve no more room cos my semi and garden are full of sofas. What a pile of shite.

Great rants, MarathonZephead!
I also have some things to say:
For fuck sake, just because the World Cup is on now doesn’t mean you have to put in a fucking football in every single ad! I mean “We Buy Any Car” and British Gas do this. Shoving a football in there is NOT gonna make me want to use WBAC’s shit service or want to switch to British Gas! FUCK OFF!
BT – Kris fucking Marshall. What more can I say? Another extremely annoying twat that left My Family and now does shite BT ads! I don’t want to switch to Bullshit Turd’s crappy broadband so just FUCK OFF!
MoneySupermarket – I’m talking about the ad with that Omid twat standing in the middle of a fucking road causing a traffic jam. If I was there, I’d get out the car and beat the living shit out of him!
We Buy Any Car – No, you fucking don’t! I’ve seen people who have been offered a whopping great big £0. That’s because of We Buy Any Shit’s admin fee from £49.95 – £79.95. So, if you do get offered £50 then you’ll be left with 5 fucking pence! Avoid these con artists!!
Dreams – “Britain’s Biggest Ever Bed sale.” Oh really? You said that last year and the year before that AND THE FUCKING YEAR BEFORE THAT!! Make up your fucking mind! £600 for a bed? FUCK OFF!

Thanks Ad Hater – while I’m at it I’ll make it a round 10 – don’t know how I could have overlooked this one as it pisses me off big time:
10. Products aimed at blokes voice-overed by a “yoof” with a Mockney accent. Ah, I geddit, some marketing genius has worked out there are no guys beyond the Thames Estuary with any money to spend. Or women having to endure the voice of a bimbo shouting herself hoarse, or some other female with a Mockney accent?
P.S. Much as I also hate the BT ads I wouldn’t say no to Kris Marshall’s ‘wife’…
P.P.S Almost forgot, Comet have been reducing their prices for the last 25 years – shouldn’t they be giving it all away by now?

OK, more ads that are pissing me off:
Velvet – “for every tree we use we replant 3.” OK, great, it’s good to see them doing their bit for the environment but must you keep telling me like 50,000 times a day?! Also, that kid is getting on my fucking nerves! I’ve said it before, I HATE KIDS IN ADVERTS!!
Activity Hotel – FUCK OFF! I’m like 400 fucking miles from Devon so I don’t give a crap about some shitty activity & sport place. Why is this appearing on ITV & Channel 4 when I’m FUCKING NO WHERE NEAR THIS PLACE?!
Stannah Stairlift – I fucking hate this irritating woman! She’s going mental over some guy coming to fit a stairlift. If she’s running about baking cakes and doing other shit then I have a question for her. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEED A STAIRLIFT?!
Uncle Ben’s Express Rice – Were the people in marketing on crack or something?! Some guy goes to open the microwave and the woman says that it won’t open until he tells the rice that it has no artificial things. Fucking retarded!
BMW – “This is not a new car, it’s every car we make.” What the fuck is the point of this?!
Ford – “We all want to get more out of life, that’s why the new Ford S-MAX is designed to let you.” Uhhh… what? IT’S A FUCKING CAR FOR FUCK SAKE!!
Volvo – What the fuck has that shit Twilight film got to do with a fucking car?!
McDonalds – Every time I hear the phrase “passing by”, my urge to kill everyone in McDonald’s marketing department rises! You know what? I was passing by a McDonalds and that’s all I did, just pass by!

Absolutely. Don’t know why they need to have any sales, being “Britain’s Favourite Bed Specialists” – mind you, not heard ‘em saying that for a while so maybe they’re not any more.
Have I mentioned those lecturing F****** Autoglass ads? Why do they think everyone and his brother needs a windscreen? They’re getting like 3 piece suite (and Dreams) ads…
Wish I could include Radio Ads in this but guess it’s the wrong site. Don’t think I’ve ever heard one aimed at anyone with more than 2 brain cells (1 to switch on the radio, the other to switch off when the ads come on).

Omid Djalili is a fine actor and comedian if i’d had a
choioce between money supermarket .com or
go compare adverts i’d take money supermarket
.com adverts any day because go compare adverts can be
annoying at times i love money supermarket.
com adverts at least thier funny but not
some fat irritating twerp bellowing down ear drums
by telling them to go compare in opratic over tones
but money supermarket.com
adverts rocks.

Haha this is so true.. I wondered for a while if the guy wouldn’t put up the £15,550 because it was too expensive and I was just interpreting the advert incorrectly. However, it’s not. They actually think by telling us 15k is good value for a car, we’ll believe them. Well I don’t.
Also – what happened to this blog? I think it’s a credit to the creator people still come back to here to check up and comment. I just think it’d be nice if the owner made occasional updates or handed it over to someone with enough time to do it
