I cannot stand any of those ads featuring "children doing toilety things". Anyone that finds that type of advertisement
in any way cute, seriously needs to go book a session with a shrink as soon as possible, and have their head read!

Also, is it just me that finds the Danone Activia ad, with that furry blue "inner self" creature, seriously creepy . . . ?

By far the most irritating advert at the moment has to be the one done to the tune of South African anti-apartheid song 'Give Me Hope Joanna', which has been re-worked to advertise a yoghurt drink in 'Give me Yop me mamma'. Appalling.

I've only seen that ad once and I thought it was funny, but the kind of ad where the more times you see it, the more irritating it gets.

I used to sing "Gimme dope Joanna, and some marijuana..." to that Eddy Grant song when I was younger Smile

The kiddies version of the McDonalds "Im Loving It" era is my annoying advert so far. Why do ITV1 have to keep showing it through every ad break on a saturday morning?.

Evil or Very Mad I know, they're so annoying!! My mate works in a McDonalds and says loads of kids come up to her and sing the theme tune... she gets rather annoyed!!

Nice to see they are starting to refer to themselves as Maccy D's now - like everybody else does.

I love them, but also incredibly bad are - 'These girls are also new to McDonalds... Impatient someone, sensible someone else, and dizzy bird, who's always late.'

Well, I can see two of them having a few disagreements, whilst one whimsically smiles and thinks 'tut - my friends are mad, but i love them'

I'd love to have been part of the creative team who came up with these girls. Mark my words, we'll be shedding tears and sharing laughs with this lot for years to come.
Or maybe its just a rubbish idea.
