    All car ads at the moment. Given the cliched empty nightime streets in EuroamericaTown we now have cars full of young hipsters singing loudly, playing with the latest Bluetooth c**p, and generally not paying attention to their driving (look at us everybody we're having so much fun )
    Also the guy who has to rely on an auto-braking system so as to miss hitting the back of an enormous tipper-truck.
    Get 1) glasses 2) a driving licence.

    Better yet look forward and pay attention

    No, please tell me he's not back. I really liked the current adverts and he gives me nightmares. Are they the singing ones or the saving Britain ones?

    I think they are the singing ones. He was singing on the one I heard on the radio this morning.

    Both the Sky Sports and BT Sport ads for the upcoming season. I think the BT Sport party one is worse than Thierry Henry boring us to tears in the tunnel of some stadium.

    How many times must they use Kanye West's Power be used in an advert? The Ripper Street advert on BBC, the Paco Rabanne advert and the Fantastic Four advert.

    That song has been repeatedly used in adverts ever since The Social Network came out in cinemas. That was five ****ing years ago. Give it a rest or hire more creative advertisers.

    ITV used it a lot while advertising their general election coverage.

    Wowcher advert with some middle aged woman leering over the strippers.
    If it was some bloke and a few Spearmint Rhino girls or whatever, it wouldnt be allowed :mad:

    There is an advert for a car where some chef bloke is droning on about appreciating quality and being a perfectionist, I find it very annoying.

    Okay not strictly a current TV ad but as Windows 10 launches today perhaps we should revisit the fabulous Microsoft Windows 7 launch party 'adverts'..

    I defy anyone to suffer it for more than a minute without smashing your screen to pieces in fury..

    Just seen an appalling new advert for MacDonald's, where the parents keep stopping their son from being active and exercising outdoors, but think it's better to let him stuff his face at McD's with a burger. Sickening.

    I have just seen this. Mine complaint is more about bad parenting. Jumping on the beds, the museum and football pitch and then letting him blow the paper from the straw right in his dads face. Some fun is good but that child is shown to be a right shite!

    That is so bad and they run through so many things so fast that the viewer doesn't retain any of the information.

    Yes, bad parenting indeed - rewarding unruly behaviour with a trip to a burger place. What message does that give the child?

    I think the new Smart ForFour advert is really funny where the guy screams when he looks behind him.

    I've never seen the BT one. What's it like?

    It's just a big party with footballers in (such as Bale and Ribery) and a few of the actors who may have appeared in the BT Ewan McGregor ads. It looks like it could be an ad for anything really, particularly if you don't recognise the players.

    The Sky one really ****** me off the other night, it was on during successive commercial breaks.

    I hate the money market ad. with the guy in the high heels and denim shorts, I think it is sleazy looking and disgusting.

    I am so pleased that seems to have finished. I had to make a mad dash for the remote whenever it appeared.

    Now I am being made queasy by the O2 ad with people wagging tails.

    Luckily I mostly watch stuff I've recorded so I skim through the ads but sometimes I am caught unawares and its always then that my remote is missing! Aaaaaaaargh!

    Note to Thierry Henry: no, the Premier League is not the best league in the world. If it was, would we have been without a team in the Champions League in two of the last three seasons (2012/13 and 2014/15)?

    Just seen the new advert for Richmond Oven Ready Sausages.
    A. Aren't all sausages oven ready? Place on a baking tray, 20 minutes at 180 fan.
    B. How did they manage to get Grayson Perry to take part?

    Did I just see a walkers advert where a wife kills her husband by tampering with his stairlift?
