    Buy Crispello and your sons girlfriend will hit on your husband.

    Can't see why anyone would think the message of this ad could be a selling point.

    Can I put a shout in here for those sodding Jacobs Creek sponsorship trailers on the Jonathan Ross show? They're horrid!

    "I like it. I don't know why, I just... do!"

    Aaaargh! They make my skin crawl.

    How about that toilet paper advert where they ask the nation if they scrunch or fold? Who the devil scrunches their toilet paper? That's just...gross.

    Those that buy Izal, as it is reminiscient of fine sand paper. :D

    Happy rubbing.

    Some worst adverts: :p

    20. National Accident Helpline - This ad has been coming on again in the past week with the supposed dogs/turds singing "Heard It Through The Grapevine, National Accident Helpline." Anyone noticed the female dog singing it in a male voice? :confused: Annoying advert, but it's old, so it's no' the worst.

    19. Head'N'Shoulders - This ad has been steadily annoying me for a bit now, with the football player that collapses on the field clutching his head in what you think would be an advert for Nuerofen/headache tablets or something, but no, his head is so itchy (check for head lice, anyone? :p) because he hasn't had his hair shampooed, in which he gets done on the field. Stupid advert.

    18. Moneysupermarket - Fat-arsed Alan is still here with his NASA-inspired crap.

    17. More Than - Another advert using the "big stupid parade over nothing theme", just like the Yorkshire Tea ad.

    16. Ladbrokes - Haven't seen the idiotic screaming fogie in a while, to be honest. :)

    15. Santander - Big, well-known A-list sports stars in their ads, just smacks of smugness, Rory Mcilroy is still very creepy, and they won't go away.

    14. Secret Escapes - The stupid "whispery wummin" is still here on our boxes and getting on our nerves and has been offered a part in the new Nightmare On Elm Street film to whisper-sing the creepy nursery rhyme.

    13. Dairy Lea - I wish those kids would just close that damn door and just leave it feckin' shut . . . :mad:

    12. BT - I see BT is back with a new advert doing what they do best, creating brand new stories for characters that we couldn't care less about. This time the two flatmates (the son of the dad who got married or whatever and her with the thousand demented facial expressions she's been offered a new leading role in the new House Of Wax sequel movie) try to get the creepy weirdo stalker a date online after he seems to have gone off the girl he lives with successful results, and I for one can't bloody WAIT to see what happens next. :rolleyes: WHO CARES. :mad:

    11. Tony Macaroni - And finally I'm still hearing that stupid woman singing that horrific song about this particular Italian restaurant.

    :p

    The More Than ad is annoying, I'm proud to live in St, Albans but the ad is rather silly.

    BT- how do those three who are supposed to be Uni students afford all this expensive stuff, and the flatmate who buys the tickets for the gig online - in 10 seconds!!!!! , he must have a credit card to do that, yet student loans only give kids around £100 a month to live on after rent and bills...

    Ps - someone needs to tell the "original" BT boy his dad is moving to Guadalupe :D (Death in Paradise fans will know what I mean).

    I know what you mean about the Dairy Lea advert:

    'Mooo....giggles '
    'Mooo....giggles '
    'Mooo....giggles '

    A rather odd company to sponsor the Champions League. You can't exactly pop to the shops and buy some "Gazprom" can you?:confused:

    Getting rather sick of that mustached, beer bellied guy in sunglasses walking along a beach for what seems ages and ages to a piece of music, stepping over other sunbathers etc and making us think what holiday company is this for, where is it so we can avoid him or the hotel perhaps, only to find out at the end it's for a drink :confused:

    That Mexican advert with them three men singing East 17,so annoying and i dont even like the stuff.

    The National Accident Helpline advert. Thats annoying aswell.

    The magnum advert,what really grinds me about that advert is that the voice doesnt even go along with the girls voice when she says on the phone `It grows back`,your what,mustache?.

    Infact all adverts that dont have the voice and mouth in sync annoy me like that advert with that couple in Paris and they get distracted by this man who guides them to this cheese.

    Christ, one annoying bloody song after another. Nearly every ad these days has some song or piece of music in it that yawps on and on and on, it's enough to drive you mental!
    These ad men/women are a curse on society.

    Safestyle windows.

    That scary man with the manic stare is back.
    Only he's fatter now and has a nice new red dressing gown and not the old green one.

    How is yelling, pushing things over and maniacal close-ups of bulging eyeballs and gleaming choppers supposed to persuade anyone to buy double glazing?

    The man looks unhinged. I'd be frightened to order his double-glazing in case he came to my house in person - I wouldn't be sleeping easily if he knew where I lived ....

    Used to like the `Plenty` kitchen-towel ads with the fake(?) Spaniard, but I think that the recent ones have been disappointing.
    Endorse everything said about the "You Buy One, You Get One Free" double-glazing ad. My wife becomes particularly distressed by it - I think mainly due to the shouting.

    "Yeah, it is a bit fun dad"

    Say whaaaat? If he's a dad, wouldn't being fun be a good thing?! Or is 'dad' itself just a negative term now?!

    ...And if he's not a dad, then frankly, it's even more strange. Why would you call a guy, who only looks to be in his 20's a dad if he isn't?

    Then again, this is duran duran girl.

    What the. Just seem the Crispello Ad for the first time.

    Weird and slightly disturbing.
    And another ad that is only probably allowed because it's a girl singing about the dad. I'm sure if it was the guy singing about the mom people would complain.

    Yeah, that ad makes no sense. It's clearly aiming at the female market by attemping to be funny, at the expense of some hapless man. Way to insult half your market, just like the kinder bueno ad. Men eat chocolate too!
