Hey Go South, are the Mr Bankrupt ads still on in Adelaide - they used to really really annoy me when I lived there.

Also Cunninghams $2 shop

And is there any carpet shop in the country that isn't perpetually closing down, everything must go ... (and what the firetruck is a durry rug anyway - when I was a kid a durry was a smoke)

No, Mr. Bankrupt finally closed down... thank god.

'Plant Liquidators' are still around though... despite monthly "closing down liquidation sales".

Why?

You could all describe the scene, setting and or scenario of the commercial and why you hate it...Repetition is the key here...

Then the strongest point to be made here is the fact that even if you hate the ads...You ALL listed the COMPANY NAME involved.

The branding on the ads with the company name...It burns into your mind...

If I see an ad that I hate, I'll do everything in my power to avoid shopping there or buying the product.

I'm the same - all the advertisers who make rubbish ads are doing is reminding which of their products not to buy - the fact I remember who they are helps me in this quest.

There are numourous ads for these products, but:

1) The Mitsubishi ads with that annoying "New Radicals" song. When I hear that ad, I want to blow up every single Mistubishi in Australia

2) The latest NRL ads with the engines noises. The sport is annoying, but the ads are even worse. And they always come on during Raw, which drives me nuts (hehehehe pun)

I hate that Tic Tacs ad where you have that girl who says something about Tic Tacs and calories or some sh*t like that. Then she ends by saying: "Great huh?". Something about that girl just p*sses me off!

Exactly right. If the topic was which are the cleverest ads a lot of us would be saying wow, tht was good... now what was the advert for again.


As for the hated ones - its on radio. How come 3aw have some of the lamest ones going. I turn off when dan presser from sunrasia or the stupid tiger noise for TAC comes on. I know how many to count to avoid them and switch back on when 'grumpy old men' (sports tonight) comes back on.

That Maccas ad makes me want to vomit. No wonder Elvis shot out TVs on a regular basis.. Priscilla hand me my shotgun.

Mr Bankrupt gone eh? Hoo farking ray. Adelaide is safe to visit again. The Plant Liquidators bloke needs to meet with a nasty accident, at least you can only have one 'deceased estate' auction.

I hate ANY ad that is made in America and has been over dubbed with Aussie voices. Any company that insults my intelligence will not get any of my money.

Come to think of it.. **** consumerism.

Satan will get a lift to work with Mr Plow, the day I buy a Mitsubishi.
