    That stooopid VW Polo ad with the couple with the car on top of their shopping trolley. :mad:

    Think I'd rather see that than many of the other adverts around. No silly voices, no annoying music, no puppets, no toothless kids, not a loan company or a gambling ad. ...and no TaDah! ...it aint that bad in comparison ;)

    I suppose the message is that VW Polo's are so cheap, people find them affordable ....like an impulse supermarket buy.

    Another for the Barclays football ad, which I have just seen for the first time.

    What world do these advertising people live in? The coach ride looks like the visiting scene from Porridge!!

    I'm surprised that no-one's wearing a rosette or carrying a rattle, and the footballers aren't wearing baggies!

    Hmm ... maybe not ...

    I guess that their only experience of football supporters is what they have heard from their colleagues who've had corporate tickets. Relevance, Barclays?

    The confused.com advert at the car auction. Presumably it was made by somebody whose auction experience comes purely from eBay - at a real auction, if somebody put a bid in just before the auction is due to close, it would be extended.

    The Post code lottery advert seems to be on every break the last couple of weeks, it's getting a bit annoying now.
    Surprised there's any money left in the pool after they have paid Sky.
    I wonder how much Sky charge for an advertisement to be broadcast during the day and peak time

    I noticed the Robinsons squash advert is showing the shorter version which doesn't have the father son reference.

    That advert for Barclays with the four schmucks is cringeingly shite. That Asian fella's a token if ever I saw one.

    That Barny advert with the bear and the boy

    Started off with what looked like encouraging children to have an active imagination and life . . . but then turns out to be a vile-looking spongy cakey biscuity thing with such goodies as wheat, chocolate and eggs . . . not mentioning the e-numbers and copious amounts of sugar . . .

    The one with the Asian woman who writes a blog, ye gods, about cooking.....who reads that for heavens sake....and follows recipes "to the dot". Pardon me , what does that mean?
    She doesn't know how to wash up either....These adverts really are awful.

    I actively avoid products where the adverts say, "check out our facebook for more details" or similar

    I know its been said before, but the haribo star mix advert. Firstly, the little's voice goes right through me and secondly, she says, "if they resist they can have another one".

    No they bloody can't! if they resist they haven't had one so they can't have 'another' :mad:

    and breathe :D

    Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! So they can have another one if they resist? Is that another one to sit and stare at and avoid eating whilst this irritating little bespectacled 'scientist' watches them? If they successfully resist two, do they get to resist a third? Eventually, will they have an entire bag of Haribo they're told not to eat?

    The cat ad for o2, how many damn times does it need to be shown during one prog ffs. The wife and I were watching something from catch-up and that's the only ad that came on. Yeah we get the message FFS :(

    That new hotel comparison website.
    'There are lot of iconic combinations, Gin and Tonic, Strawberries and Cream....... and our crappy website called Hotels Combined.'
    The name is terrible too. I could do better.

    Phileas Fogg crisps and I don't care that i've said the C word. Everytime it comes on i just want to throw my remote at the TV, the woman especially annoys me with her shit hillbilly accent and i don't think everyone from Lousiana are hillbillies anyway.

    Another one thats on all the time is BT sport. I can't stand Jake Humphry.

    Agreed. Plus the new Three advert with the dog :rolleyes:
