    The new Admiral car insurance ad, where they're trying to extol their products to the tune of America, from West Side Story. The first viewing caused a 'wtf' reaction, the second I reached for the mute button.

    In the Santander ad, it sounds like Rory McIlroy (sp?) says, 'You can open a C**t Account'. Hate it.

    It's a word that's cropped up a lot recently in reference to bankers, but not specifically in that context :D

    The Aldi advert with the yoghurts. Dont like either of them women at all. `I like this one because its got strawberry on the side` Pause `And i also like this one ` NOBODY CARES. What grinds me the most is the other one `Long time since ive had a bit on the side` You`ve never had a bit on the side darling.

    The only 'bit' on the side she'll be getting is if she puts her hand in the denture glass next to her bed and accidentally clamps them onto her fingers :D

    The Beats headphones ad that usually comes on when i'm trying to watch a video on youtube and the worse thing is you can't skip it after 5 seconds so i have to watch to watch the whole freaking thing when all i want to do is watch the video. Also will.i.am is on it so that makes me hate it even more.

    I thought adverts on YouTube you CAN skip after 5 seconds so you don't have to watch the whole thing (or am I thinking of ITV Player ads)

    I fear that this advert is slowly becoming the new Halifax. They've now covered two songs.:o:mad:

    Most of them you can skip and it's like the longest 5 seconds ever but some of them you have to watch the whole thing.

    Oh, and secret escapes.

    I saw a few posts about secret escapes many months ago on here, but I never really spotted it on TV or it didn't stand out to me.

    But now, all that whispering has now gone past the Annoy-o-meter and here I am adding yet another rant about it :D

    Could just about tolerate the original secret escapes ads (even though that "Go, go!" bit at the end got on my nerves, Eskimos in the arctic circle would have heard that, never mind the invisible husband in the bathroom), but the new ones are just toecurlingly bad, "what are you doing in the woman's spa?" , "these olives are handmade" (or something), and we see invisible husband, probably because he is spying on her cos he is convinced she is a basket case talking to herself all the time.:D

    Anyone else noticed it takes Carol Vorderman 3 breaths to blow out the candles in her "Is me" cake, that's a lot of candles.;)

    Total bullshit ad. Coke and Coke Zero are polar opposites.

    I liked the girl in the original add, really fanciable, but this doesn't look like the same girl.

    It doesn't for me (my use of Adblock Plus may have something to do with that).

    She has to be a basket case - in the one listed as "Day breaks" on YouTube has her trying to convince her lover that she's talking to a handbag.

    Just seen it. I can put up with Pepsi Max, but if I want Coke with no sugar I have to drink Diet.

    Coke Zero - Who do they think are kidding with that nonsense? Zero sugar sure but probably contains aspartame.

    Slightly different ingredient base.

    It's suggested however the main reason is marketing - men won't buy "diet" - hence Zero being aimed primarily at men.

    Diet Coke is meant to taste different. Coke Zero is supposed to taste more like normal Coke it is just sugar free.
