I hate the Big Save Furniture ads! That chick just pisses me off. I find her highly irritating.
Oh and I also hate it when the letter 'H' is pronounced 'Hache' in the ads. It's like, shut up already!!! It's not bloody 'Hache'!!!!-------------

I fully agree! I hate those ads. My pet hate ad atm is the toilet seat one where the woman treats the man like a dog. Spray and walk away - fully mockable fun! So stupid. Yeah those smart shopper ones are pretty annoying too. ------------- Mum to: Joy Emily 1.05am 27/09/07 7lb 3oz Austin Paul 12.47pm 18/04/10 10lb 8oz |

The Crisco guy!!! The 'hache dee teeevee' annoys the crap outta me and you would never ever see a newsreader lean forward like that too!
I also got really annoyed with the Shortland Street 'warm love' ads- they were on every tvnz tv on demand programme and would often repeat themselves!! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

| The Jacobs Creek wine ads, sooo stupid. Wine does not give you character or make you cool, how stupid do they think we are? Saw the Bluebird ad tonight which I used to love- polar bear dressed in penguin costume- except dd2y saw it & all I heard for the next half hour was "penguins, on, again, tv, again, pleeee mummy". |

I like the Countdown ads
Also like the 'spray and walk away' ads but that could be because we take the piss out of it a bit Don't like Big Save although her hair is looking a bit better All the bam ads. How is it that you spray the surface with bam and after the area is wiped it is the cloth shape on the wall that is clean rather than just the area that had bam sprayed on it IYGWIM Biomag annoys me There are heaps of ads that annoy me...why can't I think of them now! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Has anyone seen the 'double rainbow' ad and thought it was an ad for a cheeseburger? I totally missed the vodafone bit at the end and started craving mcdonalds... ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

OMFG I've only seen that 'double rainbow' ad x2 and I nearly threw something at the TV !
Big Save can take a big run and jump. Any fast food ad that show's something like an egg muffin with cheese and bacon, makes me want to BARF! The Mortein one and also the Glade, oh and that one with the kid on the toilet. I'm starting to realise why I don't watch too much TV

I thought you get 4x 4 packs, rather than 2x 8 packs...
so they take up less space in your handbag? i could be wrong though. i dont use them |

ARGH! Richard Till does my friggen head in! My DF pisses himself everytime one of those ads are on cause he can't stand his voice. We always take the mickey out of the 'shop smarter new zealand' bit.
Big Save girl looks like she's on something. She has P eyes and talks like Tim Shadbolt... with a silly grin on her face. I like the spray and walk away ads... totally funny! The one that really bugged me was that huggies pull ups one with the 'stop, potty time'. Haven't seen it in a while tho so hopefully it's been pulled. There are so many annoying ads at the moment. Oh the mortein one 'I can't go in during the day' 'I can't go in at night' ANNOYING! Altho DD thinks its funny. She also quite likes the one for Apple iPad with that catchy music, she dances to it whenever it's on -------------

Haha, my Mum got that book for Xmas!! She's oddly obsessed with vintage tea towels, I don't pretend to understand why! And ITA with the Chriscoes guy, it pisses me off when he says "Hundreds of smart and gorgeous kiwi mums . . .", just sucking up. Oh, and the Haitch thing is the easiest way to tell when they're just fobbing us off with an ad made in Aussie. ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">

The glade adds are even worse when they are in the american accent. Same add over there different accent.
Big save girl needs a couch to drop on her Another add that is so obviously good that I can't remember what product it is for but I just want to smack her. Blond with a fake smile. I am thinking carpet or insulation etc but I am so focused on hating her I don't take any notice of the product lol. |

| Is it sad that tonight while watching tv I paid attention to the ads because I didn't know half the ones that've been mentioned? eg Chrisco, steam mop, glade, tampons, & krushers. I saw the krushers ad but none of the others. I also got a lot less tidying up done than I normally do! (That's what the ads are for anyway isn't it?! That & making cups of tea.) |

Richard Till- WHERE did he learn to talk like that!?
Chrisco's guy is annoying on so many levels....! I think the Ab Circle Pro is the worst though, just coz it's on ALL the time, and I DO NOT wanna hear any more outta than Jennifer Nicole Lee with her fake lips and tits half hangin out
Best ad ever though: the Libra one with that legend guys who sticks the pads all over himself and does all those ninja moves. OR the pink bats one where everyone's getting a hug from their own pink bats person. The looks on their faces... hahaha! ------------- TTC#1 since Apr11 On hold for study! |

I don't like the Elite Fitness ad, the one with the chick with her g string showing out the top of her shorts and starts of with her in the kitchen in her lingerie. Not sure why I don't like it but I just think its kind of tacky, especially when she is on the machine thing. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I hate the napisan adds and the friend for carpets, with some pert 18 year old telling the mother how to wash her clothes and clean her carpets, sod off.
I want to punch the presenter in the face. Hate the carpet add where the mum is playing with her kids and notices stains on the carpet, wtf who cares about the carpet go back to playing with your children cleaning can wait. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Going back to page 1 and slightly OT, but Mucky_tiger we have a soft closing toilet lid too and LOVE IT!! It's awesome lol.
I hate the Briscoes lady. Gosh she is so annoying. And the 'BAM and the dirt is gone!" in fact any cleaning ads pretty much. For example the 'Frend Large Area carpet cleaner' is a total have. Mum bought me a can once to do my carpet in the lounge, and 1 can did half of my rug. I mean seriously.... |

Can I tell you something funny?? One time the BigSave girl came on dressed as Wonder Woman and DH turned and looked at me all startled - she had TOTALLY ruined his childhood fantasy!!! Poor baby. I can not stand her either - she always yells. The vodafone double rainbow ad is just stupid, that guy must have been completely off his rocker when he did that u-tube one so why are we glorifying drug induced behaviour?? AND I don't like the lotto ad with the dog that goes missing either. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Lol, that pad ad with the guy doing robot/transformer impersonations is hilarious! Oh & "mousie, mousie", that's something DH would do. The Mountain Dew one where they stick the sleeping sasquatch's hand in the bucket of water & almost drown themselves, soo funny, =). The double rainbow ad definitely makes me want a cheeseburger. I must not watch the right "target market" programmes, haven't seen carpet cleaning ads either?

Not sure still. My DH just turns to me everytime it comes on and says "oh look hunny its your fav lady" Another one I hate is the club physical ad with the larger lady sitting on the chair. Then the same photo all of a sudden shrinks. So obviously a photoshop of a photo. Not even video. |

I think it's just me (since they have SO many of them they must work), but I loathe pretty much any makeup add. Especially the ones with the American voice-overs. If I ever see a non-fake syrupy make-up add I'll probably go buy a ton of the product out of shock!

I find the Wedding One (Cleaning Add) really funny and the Coca Cola one cos it looks so much fun flying out of that Bottle *wanna try it, hehe* -------------   Angel Babe in our  - 07/08

| Ooh yes "Dave, there's no such thing as yetis", very funny. I hate those ads- think it's for a beer, where all the men are in a wildlife park with the women in safari suits like Steve Irwin. But there's another one similar, again I think for a beer, that's funny- it's "man like friend" & "man like meat", it has the singing "And we can grow beards if we want to". I saw the chrisco ad tonight, omgoodness yes very annoying! & Bigsave lady sounds like she's in pain. |
