Agreed, that Go Compare advert is the most fucking annoying thing on TV atm.

Also when I hear someone say "I'm confused" and someone replies with ".com" or someone actually says "I'm confused.com" all as one, I just want to smack them very hard. :lol:

Well after seeing the advert, i have to agree, there's nothing really funny about it.

If they wanted to make a funny working advert, the singer would be a problem, which then gets solved. Annoy audience and then give the satisfaction when he gets hit by a truck or some such.

Seems like it's working as you're talking about it, spreading the message and letting everyone else know about the ad

My mum hates it as well... she has to leave the room when it's on TV... while I find it annoying I tend to switch off in adverts so I don't pay that much attention.

Yep, its a seriously annoying advert, but its the ones that really wind you up that stick in your mind.

The other one I HATE is the Bailey's advert with the close up of the woman's mouth singing along to shite Christmas songs. I could listen to 12 hours of "Go Compare" rather than 30 seconds of that Bailey's ad TBFH

It would be funny if they spent all that money on advertising and it had a negative effect. Like I will never ever use swift insurance even if they are half the price - purely because of those ads that used to be on all the time with iggy pop being fking annoying

Funny thing is the ad works. Here we have a whole thread on how people hate it. Marketing is about getting noticed. Job done.

For the record, I despise it too and will switch channel or nuke the sound button as fast as I can. I don't know anyone that doesn't also hate it.

It only works if you head to compare.com and trust me when I say everyone I know hates the adverts and is saying compare.com can go fuck themselves. :D

They might be getting their name around, but every company that makes an advert shitty enough that I remember their name goes on my "do not buy stuff from here" list.

rofl B2 usually goes AArgh *hit mute* when that dell advert with the men singing lollypop comes on because he ends up singing that all day. I hate the advert for that cough syrup that is meant to shift mucus and has this little mucus wrestler jumping on a guy in bed, it always comes on when I am eating and makes me feel rather sick tbh.

The first animated ad was bad enough. But now they have one with people in it, it's just awful.

Still, saw the newest Compare The Market ad. They are funny.

Am I the only guy who hates this comedian? i think he so shit i want to punch myself for watching him

Was bloody hilarious when I saw him at the Comedy Club a couple of years back. I loved his line about the Jewish - Palestinian issue, went something like this:

The Jews say that god gave them this land but in 1948 the British gave it to us, case closed!

The Evian rollerskating babies ad is the creepiest thing I've ever seen. The latest Meerkat ad is fucking genius though.
