The most annoying advert ever GO COMPARE

Slightly off topic but remember the white foam disc, same size as the AS tablet, in the top of the Alka Seltzer container in the early days : - and the number of people who thought it was an Alka Selt

Every time I hear it on Talksport Radio I just have to join in "Checker trade checker trade dot com"

Don't know whether this was a UK saying or not, but my BiL, whenever he had fixed anything would say "Now we're cooking with gas".

My Father-in-law used to say that, presume it must come from an advert for the gas board, but I can't remember seeing it..

Yes - a friend of ours used to say that, but would sometimes vary it to "Now we're washin' wi' water..."

''That blokes a nutter, hey Nutter!''. Dime bar advert. Me and a friend were laughing our socks off last week watching it again on youtube.

''See you later undertaker.'' would make a great funeral directors tv ad

''He's got an ology'' BT ads. ''It's taup'' from same ads.

''Nice man he is, ooh he is a nice man, such a good man''. AA ads.

Most adverts end with a tag-line now.

I guess the intention is to sound clever and ear-catching. Most of the time they just sound gormless.

For example:

Sky TV - Believe in Better.

Roughly translated means - Believe in paying loads of money to watch TV.

Just to start the ball rolling:

'Go suck a Zube!'

I used to like the two kids with the odd number of Cadbury fingers, the catchphrase being" you fink of everything Bwian". Of course Brian did, he simply ate the odd one whole instead of breaking it in half. The bear on the ad for a soft drink I can't remember the name of was another favourite with the phrase " It' s frothy man".

I used to like  the advert for TV licences - paying monthly instead of all at once - where the two people meet, fall in love, make plans for having a family, then fall out and want a divorce, all in the space of one meal, but now it annoys me...  

When it comes on I always have to say to Paul "DON'T SAY IT" because he always wants to join in with the final words "in your dreams"
