I just wonder why has not yet been an adjudication over the sexual imagery in the Confused.com ads.

I think it might be German. The dubbing is terrible, just that that stupid fucking Nicorette advert. Tradesmen in Germany always seem to be wearing smart overalls, as opposed to Britain where they wear ripped jeans and a paint stained sweatshirt.

I agree – go compare should Go Fuck Off. Its the single most annoying, nauseating, irritating, murder-inducing, cat-strangling advert I have ever seen. Even if they gave away free insurance, I still wouldnt get it from these muppets.

I’m getting so fed up with this growing spate of fucking annoying characters that are being conceived and forced upon us by shit unimaginative advertising agencies. It now seems that almost every brand is using a fucking company mascot for a never ending series of utterly dire adverts, designed with the sole intention of being irritating. As much as it pains me to say it, I lay the blame firmly at the door of the meerkat. I liked the meerkat. I thought the ads were original, clever and genuinely amusing. “He already have worms”, still makes me chuckle. But now I can’t see them in the same light. As what the meerkat has done is inadvertently given birth to wannabes like the fat go compare prick, the confused.com singing cartoon twat with shit hair and now the worst of the lot, the bile inducing wonga wankers. These companies have attempted to emulate the success but failed to understand that the meerkat ads were clever and amusing. Brand characters never used to be this way. The honey monster never made me want to throw the remote through the tv screen, Tony the tiger never made me mute the sound until the ad finished. But these wonga ads are like fingernails down a blackboard. I get the whole ‘irritating’ = ‘memorable’ thing but memorable isn’t necessarily good when you’re being remembered for all the wrong reasons. I’d go out of my way not to use wonga, even if I wanted a wallet raping loan, purely because of the ads. And the fact that they’re fucking puppets means I can’t even take solace by thinking they’ll be dead soon. I can’t see an end to this shit any time in the near future. There’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Looks like I just have to keep praying to the heavens that the company will go bust, never to infect my life ever again. Depressing.

Thank you for putting this up! I think it really highlights the beef many meat-eaters have with companies like PETA – they’re pious and holy about not eating animals, yet they’ll do anything short of giving me any solid reason to convince me to stop eating meat. They won’t give me any proof or evidence, but they will go out of their way to make up some cretinous campaign about “the physical, emotional, and karmic benefits of veganism” (see website). Utter bollocks.

The latest Optimax advert. That guy who narrates and takes his glasses off to look in the camera. He is really creepy looking, the fucking weirdo.
