20. Confused.com - well this has gone for a while and shortened (thank Christ) but is still bordering on animated porn and still 'singing' the bloody YMCA > and I hated the original adverts anyway with the shouting, screeching and being so damn loud, it ain't singing >
19. Ladylucks - so if you win, you flop around like a morphine-addicted salmon and make a stupidly beyond ANNOYING noise with your feckin' phone in your hand? I hate this ad, it's so pointless, I would run that guy down with that bus! >
18. Strongbow - 'already sippin' it.' what a load of absolute pish this ad is! >
17. Boots - oh god, their lacklustre attempt at humour is just awful, and the trumpets from the song they've adopted as their signature, GAAAH! They've ran that song into the ground! >
16. Galaxy - oh Jesus, this advert has been on for what seems like since the stone age, and no disrespect to anybody with the what looks like a leukemia patient and her weird pale alien face >
15. Wowcher - GRRRRR!!!!! just stick your wowcher up your arse! Annoying bloody women! >
14. Sunbingo - pain in the arse. Simple. |:| I'd rather be innnnn limbo.
13. Sky - that hideously horrible drumming music! :O it just makes me feel distressed and gives me a headache :-( and the fact that it pedals the bloody Olympics! >
12. Wonga - oh god, those old people puppets are so creepy! :O quite demeaning to old folk I think :-/ if they were in place of that jigsaw puppet in the saw film, that would actually have made it scary! and don't get me started on the bloody sickeningly sweet radio ad, on every 5 seconds, and it's just CRAP! GO AWAY YOU LEGALIZED LOAN SHARK B*stards! >
11. BT - the latest ad is the lowest point in all shiteyness with the ugly foreign girls. Devoid of any humour, as usual, and the students really need to go away. We don't care about their fecking budding romance that the creep is trying to establish or their life story! > I personally hope the creepy 1 turns out to be a serial killer or something, and murders the other 2, as some on here have suggested XD

Phew! Well that's just about it for now :-P it's good to let off some steam :-P I'll no doubt have more another time :-D
But i'd bet you would still nail her, any holes a goal.

That Chedds advert drives me nuts. Something about it being 100% cheese because, apparently, kids are real!?

You don't say!

I thought Mel B advertising Jenny Craig was bad.....no they have gone and "improved" on it

Now they have got Dame Edna as their latest spokesperson for it

Shes lost 18lb but just looks like they have filmed her from a distance to make her look thinner !

Agree. A load of wibble wibble dribble dribble, inanely grinning lard-arses most of them - some appear to be having some kind of seizure. It's a shame.

Oh my God, how pretentious is the National Lottery funding advert? Seems like they thought they were making some sweeping epic film...

Not even any spurious claims that 92% of 28 women thought it was the best oil ever

Time to post the top 10 in my chart of most hated adverts then :-):

10. DHS - purely for personal reasons, and the fact that it's a sh*t advert >:-( because I HATE the song 'ain't no mountain high enough' with a passion, >:-( and it's not the 1st ad to use it, what with the more annoying niquitin ad, and the 4od ones >:-( does it still have man utd. in it? I hate them too, and I don't even like football but I never notice seeing as I leave the room when THAT bloody song comes on

9. Bounty - I see the latino titular tosser Juan sh*t is back, and that isn't a good thing >:-( he's been away for quite a while now though, but will probably keep appearing on the tv flogging that crap product that probably doesn't even work

8. Nationwide - now apart from the twee singers in ads this year that really need to go away (kia c'eed, I'm looking at you) >:-( this ad only annoys me for, well, a number of reasons actually for one it's sooooo boring, and clearly has been designed to be in that stupid 'best ad of the year' (no such thing) thing at the end of the year for it's frankly shite design, and that they claim to 'be on our side'. Hmmm, yep, bankers are some of the most hated people alongside politicians in Britain right now, but fear not, because nationwide are on our side with their trust, my arse!

7. Bold 2 in 1 - oh god no, another horrible twee song but performed by a talentless child, and irritating looking children in the ad to boot. I mean, ok, I hate kids mostly, so them in ads is much worse >:-(
6. Stella artois - both ads, hate them, with the 'not cider, cidre.' ones which are on the radio as well as the tv now, so now I can't get away from him no, don't tell me how to say or spell my words, I'm not French, piss off you patronizing, English because he's not French just putting on a bad accented, creepy rapist sex-pest sounding **** >:-( and the arse that runs up the lift to beat the doting bitch Stella artois CATRE you would say in French, not 4 you **** and stupid voiceover woman!

5. Persil - just f*ck off, talentless kids who could murder a Jedward song are not cute, just ugly and VERY ANNOYING >:-(

4. National lottery - overly pretentious, Olympic-pedalling once again >:-( shite that is overly long, and just a crap story aswell

3. Moneysupermarket - new entry here for Gary and his idiotic stare at the start, then annoying magnum pi inspired LONG sh*t story starring the new fat tosser as an action man then annoying voiceover that is everywhere. Please go away. But it looks like we've seen the end of super-smug fat arse Brian and his adventures in bloody Vegas where I've been, it's not that bloody good >:-(

2. UPS - AAAAAARRRGH!!!!! >:-( as if the original advert with the 'that's amore' parody 'that's logistics' song which I HATED wasn't bad enough, Olympics sh*t again, this is just as bad with that wonky nosed patronizing twonk that starts it off and finishes it, 'ups does the logistics for me, for us, the world' F*CK OFF! NO-ONE CARES!!!!! >:-(

1. Direct line - so right now snatching the number one spot and not the top spot they'd like in my annoying ads are the ads with so much in the opposite of humour suicidal tendencies could follow. Talentless 'comedians' galore from Armstrong to Addison, they are not the worst of the ads, as that award goes to the damn infuriating dim-witted couple. Not funny in the slightest, just ANNOYING, he looks like Frankenstein's monster's great grandson, she looks like she's wearing an electrocuted bear cub on her head, what is there to like? Nothing, that's what >:-(

And breathe, I'll think of more, no doubt they'll appear on the tv

It's such a shame. I used to like most of the comedians who have prostituted themselves to doing that advert, from Paul Merton and Stephen Fry to Alexander Armstrong and Chris Addison and Darren Boyd and Doon Mackichan.

Why is TV advertising so obsessed with bloody insurance? Have we suddenly become a nation entrenched in insurance neurosis? Do we really spend hours out of every day worrying about whether we're paying too much?

I only quoted the ads I wanted to comment on, hope you don't mind?

10. It is cheesy (especially with Sir Alex looking out of his window and smiling as if the City Of Manchester Stadium had just exploded), but I don't mind it.

8. There seems to have been so many banking ads around lately. Is this specific Nationwide ad the one with the girl who loses her money whilst travelling? It's been mentioned on this thread before and if it's aimed to dispel the myth that bankers are out of touch, it doesn't help. That girl would get a good bollocking over the phone from most parents.

6. I don't like the ad with the girl in the lift, for the same reason I dislike perfume ads. Why would seeing two models flirt in a very pretentious manner make me want to buy your beer?

4. I enjoyed the original version of those generational type ads, I think it was done for John Lewis. I don't need to see it again but with a different story (yes, I'm looking at you too Hovis!).

1. I like those ads! The ones with Armstrong anyway, I haven't paid attention to the one with the couple.

No I don't :-) oh I only hate that ad mostly because I hate the song in it
I hate all adverts though, no I refuse to like any adverts from the past or now I don't think there's such a thing as a good advert never has been never will be

Halifax ('I'll be there') with that 'choir' of thieving scum who think giving you £5 of your money in return for paying a grand a month in (at next-to-zero interest) will let us forget that all bank workers should be strung up.

UUGGHHH!
