    Breaking the rules here, but this has to be one of the BEST adverts I've seen. So simple, but so touching (especially if you love horses like I do):

    That ad for "Peachy Loans", yet another loan shark company.
    As they advertise their loans which they say will "put a smile on your face", there is some "cool" guy walking on stage playing a solo on the electric guitar as if it is really "cool" to take out a loan.
    These parasitic sharks should be hunted off our tv screens imho. :mad:

    I'm surprised Argos are still using the blue alien family in their ads, who do they appeal to? They completely miss the mark for me.

    Argos are doing very well so they must be hitting the mark with others.

    They hit the mark with my kids. My 5 year old wants a blue alien. I'd like to do something unpleasant with their heads though

    Nothing beats Indian TV ads so loud and annoying at the same time

    The stupid oral B advert where we are supposed to believe the woman brushing her teeth is getting older just because her hair gets greyer!! The smile she has is creepy if she smiled like that near a school she'd get arrested

    Any ad which has those irritating indie-hipster acoustic guitar songs playing all the way through, with deliberately raspy/broken vocals. It's like: "We Are Trying Really Hard To Be Trendy!".

    The latest Santander advert with Jess trying to be funny, bless her.

    Oddly, I'd find these adverts less annoying if she could buy into the corporate branding and wear a red top for once.

    The KFC one where the guy buys a wrap instead if her birthday present, was he really only spending £1.50 on her?
