QUOTE (Blake @ Apr 15 2010, 11:51 AM) Is it just me or do the rest of you find the two ads for We Buy Any Car.com and Go Compare so extremely annoying? The fact that you've mentioned them on here shows they've done their job.As soon as I see Go Compare and that stupid singer come on, I turn over. These are surely some of the lowest brow ads ever with not a hint of sophistication...they must be aimed at the pleb market is all I can conclude. Apparently, Webuyany car is an extremely dodgy firm anyway, with sharp practices for car sellers. Just look online for what people are saying about them. I would never use it in a million years... |

The other one was "Eeh look, Petunia. He's dived in the water, oh he's out again. Eeh he must like like it, he's dived in again". |

The **** meercat one is rising in my level of most hated ads too.
For all its waffle and distractions, you would hardly tell it is an ad for car insurance. It's not even funny. |

Just wanted to say, I used an insurance site recently, not one of your Go Compares either! Since then I have received 2 calls saying "we have been passed your details from an insurance company regarding the car accident you had last year". I haven't been involved in a car accident - praise the Lord, for over 20 years (and then it wasn't my fault).
