    The terribly auto-tuned Oreo adverts. The 'singing' almost physically hurts my ears.

    "Oh wow 5am, and it’s my period!"

    Why is she so excited about being on her period? :confused:

    Maybe she's at night school, and it's a free period?

    I'm glad I record virtually everything I want to watch, and use "skip to next chapter" to go straight to the end of the ad break.

    However, I hate the booking.com ad. I think they're trying to build back up to the one which was banned.

    I wouldn't be paying hundreds of £ to eat at Marco Pierre White's restaurant to get a knorr stock cube

    Just logged on to say how massively hacked off I am at this add. Stupid man.

    Knorr are terrible, far too salty. And if he doesn't know that, he's a crap chef, and if he does he's lost any scrap of integrity he might have possibly had.

    Plus I'm sick of his whispering voice and his crappy bit of smeared fried chicken.

    He can roast himself.

    The new Diesel ad. The man talks about being brave enough to ask out a beautiful woman. I'm sure more men would have the confidence to do so should they have the modellish looks of the man in the ad.

    The Richmond ready bake sausages look bloody revolting.

    The Health Lottery advert with Anthea Turner. Her voice is annoying as fudge, and I can't stand the special needs dancing by her and the peasants.

    There is also a shampoo advert showing a model washing her hair and face, and a little bit of small print appears on the bottom of the screen saying: *please don't shampoo your eyes

    This. It seems terribly crass and very wrong.

    The trailer for the last series of Downton Abbey - another excruciating example of a twee female singer sounding like a timid 5yr. old (singing "Time to Say Goodbye).

    He was the great guy who took over a place near Bath and made such a mess of it, and was so awful to work for, the entire staff walked out. It doesn't surprise me a bit he's advertising revolting stock cubes.

    Godawful isn't it? Especially as I adore Andrea Bocelli.

    Ooh it's awful isn't it. And as someone else has already pointed out, Oreos are so overrated.

    Is that Omid Dhjalili in the Three advert? If so he must be really struggling to be basically doing what an extra could do.

    Untrue. That pug's a great actor, much better than most in adverts.

    Agree. I love the expression on the pug's face when he turns to look at the guy, as if he is thinking "you pillock, I'll get you for this".

    almost all car ads. when are streets ever that empty, maybe 3.45am? i appreciate they have to 'sell the dream' but when most of us spend a significant % of our time in nose/tail town driving i don't really need to see people, near orgasm with joy/excitement, driving around strangely deserted towns.

    ads for woman that maybe let out a bit of wee. hey, let's be original and show a bunch of woman dancing/prancing around like idiots showing they can let bits of wee out to their hearts content ... a bit like the billy connolly sketch years ago.

    ANYTHING with nicole scherzinger in it.

    charity ads showing images of people near death. 'just £5 a month from you would ensure this family had clean drinking water for a week.' so, what are their (no doubt corrupt) government doing about it?!? i'm going to regularly give a % of my hard earned into a black hole whilst the leaders of these countries and their families live like kings ...eh NO!

    ANYTHING with nicole scherzinger in it.

    stupid cosmetic ads. 'now with added zinchydratefolicacidpeptidebotox to minimise wrinkles...' and the ones for men are no better, 'shaving's never been easier thanks to our new hydro-glide molecule technology ...' away and f*ck off!!!!!!

    ANYTHING with nicole scherzinger in it.

    The canals advert irritates me somewhat, not so much the advert itself but the fact that the song doesn't rhyme.

    All adverts for cosmetics and dental products which are so obviously video processed to make skin look perfect and teeth look dazzling white.

    And the washing powder/tablets/gels ads where the unwashed thing looks grey in comparision.

    I've just heard that for the first time - my ears hurt. It's dire and out of tune
