Very Irritating Dutch Commercials

This is considered to be one of the most irritating - and I would say "scary"- Dutch commercials from 2009. TV presentator and singer Kim Lian promoting diapers with a urine alarm (???) for drugstore Kruidvat. You do not have to understand any Dutch to realize how horrible it is (the commercial, not the Dutch language). I must say Kim Lian was a great TV presentator for Kids Top 20, much better than eliZe or Monique Smit. Charismatic, good singer & sweet... I do not get why she accepted to work on this silly commercial.

Another very irritating one - although funny at the first time - is from telephone company Hi KPN. It was also on the list of TV programme TROS Radar as one of the most annoying commercials from 2009. The title is Pokkie Foetsie. Alles Foetsie (Dutch slang for "cellphone lost, everything lost"). A woman that has lost her phone completely panics about it and keeps histerically remembering the names she has to call. You do not have to understand Dutch to have a laugh. Check it here. She has to call Marit, Bas, Jelani, Eyyy, Chichi, Dino, Maureen, Tilly, Arita, Malita, Sita, Amsa, Nanda, Raily, Eugenie, Karel, Carewan...

Or this one also from Hi (2208) here. It is called Blabla. Super hero "Chatman" causes super high - mega dosis of irritation. Bleargh !
