Default The ad that annoys me so much at the moment...

Is that Shell ad on the radio... I was yelling at the radio about it yesterday when it came on.

They go "Shell has brought you over 20 price drops in petrol and Diesel over the last <something> months"

Oh man it annoys me, becuase they don't mention how many times it has gone up!! Its not like they have just dropped it 20 times without putting the price up.

Right now I'm done...

The TV ad that annoys me most at the moment is the Watties Potato Roaster ad. The one where the pregnant women wakes up and has "cravings" for some potato roasters. So the guy chucks about 10 of them in the oven dish and chucks them on. 25 minutes later they're ready and he chucks them on a plate with two lamb chops and some peas (where the hell did he get the chops & peas from) ... Oh, but also he only chucks on 4 roasters ... what happened to the others? Then he goes back to the bedroom, wifey is asleep so he starts tucking in, then she wakes up and says "where's mine" and I always yell "still in the oven .... he's only got 4 on his plate"

Do the advertising companies not think of such things when they're making their ad?

For some reason the ad just really gets up my nose.

My favourite ads at the moment are the Fresh & Fruity ads coz the yoghurt cartoon dudes are cute and the one for Inghams chicken where the woman cuts off her arm with the boys light saber.

Oh man I hate that ad too. But I do love roast potatoes. Some ads these days just don't seem to make sense. Theres a couple at the moment that I jsut go "huh?" and it hasn't made me remember them at all, cos I can't.

I like on the radio at the moment this aztec corn chips ad, its got a catchy little song and its quite amusing.

Ace potatoes are the best. His are better than any potato that you could buy in the shop.

The Pizza Haven ads are annoying too.
