Foxy Bingo.com It's not even remotely funny and the talking fox does my head in. I also hate the Mammas Lasagne Dolmio advert thingy as well. That's another one that needs dummies to sell its product. Am I unique in hating more adverts than I like? I did like the horses in the sea advert for Guinness, but I'm struggling to think of another. There was the domino effect car advert, where the dominos are represented by car parts rolling and tumbling and knocking into each other. The thing with that one is that I can't remember what the car was. Maybe the cleverness was too much for the product.

What advert is getting on your nerves?

Great thread! My wife would say any TV advert about children's toys is really annoying at the moment. Our children want everything they see! When I watch children's TV adverts now I am reminded of how disappointed I sometimes was as a child because the toys did not actually do all the magical things they did on the TV adverts. Anxious

I now have another pet hate: -

Talking Retail says, "Bel UK is raising brand awareness of Boursin through sponsorship of ITV3 drama and crime programmes communicating the "Du pain, du vin, du Boursin" message."

They're not kidding, it's enough to make you want to chuck the telly out the window. Aghhhhhhhh!
