Re: My most hated TV advert ever

Match.com....I hate it too. I remember a graphic designer at my work experience was chatting about it to his colleagues and he said he hated it, but couldn't get the rubbish song out of his head....as I didn't know the guy I didn't say anything as it would be rude of the work experience pleb suddenly piping up but I was thinking I agree.

Btw, Pinney68, like the avatar, good old Humptey from Play School. Always liked his fat egg shaped bod and happy fat face.

I loved Humpty as he would never sit up when the presenters placed him anywhere. Little micheivous fella!

Apparently Fred Harris and the rest of the presenters/crew played rugby with him - the gits.

I also heard somewhere that the crew drew pubic hair onto Hamble,
Very cheeky indeed.

Ah yes, that too - but Hamble was ugly whereas Humpty, Big Ted, Little Ted and Jemmima were nice and lovely. My Mum really liked Jemmima.

Speaking of hated ads, its not an ad per se but anyone seen that god awful 'Mad, Bad, Ad Show' on C4? An HOUR of tripe - Mark Dolan presents it, and there are two of the most irritating 'comediennes' as regulars. Then they have two regular industry ad execs like Kate Stanners from Saatchi and Saatchi....its such a rubbish show - and the c--p they show adwise....ergh.

I hate to admit it, but I would have been first in the queue to terrorise Hamble!

I would add that my own company sponsored CH4 with Tony Robinson doing the voice-over. It cost about £200,000 for about 3 months and I'm still not convinced we gained many extra customers !!

Wow thats a lot! You've got to wonder how much notice people take of ads these days. I reckon many companies make annoying ads just to grab attention although even if I find an ad irritating I still can't remember what it is advertising half the time.

I'm guessing that the Go Compare advert and its infamous spokestenor Gio Compario may have been inspired by this 1918 recording by Enrico Caruso.
