The Ariel advert with the girl with the vintage dress. That's, like, Ariel, like, totally trying to be edgy so they can appeal to impoverished students.
In fact, any advert which pretend to be British, but obviously aren't due to the architecture, traffic lights... etc.. Anyone can CGI out the local signage, you know, we're not that dim...
Agreed, that is my pet hate, ads filmed abroad, probably Eastern Europe pretending to be Britain.Or in some sunny clime trying to be some British suburb. The L.V. ad, that is never Liverpool, looks more like L.A. :mad:
Damn Phones 4u adverts on during films on Channel 4 ffs!!!
RAF and Army adverts on during Hurt Locker film.
That's just brazen:mad: they should ban all "forces" ads so far as I am concerned, everyone knows they are Just advertising for Canon fodder these days, how can they learn a trade if they are dodging bullets within days of passing out! especially now when jobs are few on the ground and Kids are tempted by the dosh and "travel opportunities", so cynical....
My current hate is the "bird is the word" bingo ad, hate the song, hate the idiot in the costume, whatever they paid him it will never be enough.....
oh, and all adverts with cars in, they all look the same to me and playing an annoying song over-the-top will not make me buy it.
That Sky advert with Gavin and Stacy woman and Robert Lindsay having the world's least realistic conversationin the long and varied history of unrealistic conversations in advertising.

Who did that previously? I have a vague memory of two people going on about how wonderful Sky is, but I can't remember who they were.
That bloke betting over his phone when the United/Everton game is going on.
What I find odd about that is that it's an ad encouraging gambling, yet the bloke doing it looks like a desperate gambling addict, the way he's acting, sweating and looking desperate!
That's a long way for a flutter for a bit of fun. I'm amazed no one's complained about it!

Yep, agree with what you stating about encouraging gambling.
Also, what made me cringe was the vulture/man who appears at half-time giving odds. Fortunately, I don't watch football anymore so don't miss him !
Cannon and Ball the only comedy act with two straight men.:D
They passed for top prime time Saturday night entertainment in the 80s. I went to see them when staying at a holiday resort in Cornwall in 2001. The whole room was rolling around laughing at them, except me and my mate who were looking at each other saying "what are they laughing at?" Still baffles me. When I was a kid I found them hilarious too though.
It's probably already been mentioned but the one advert that drives me insane is the Rosetta Stone advert with the folk singing! The one in the phone shop at the end if the worst, you don't even know what she's saying!
melanie sykes take a break adverts
dawn porter wipe your ass ads robert webb meerkat ad-so unfunny
idiot mueller light centaur ads
any bingo adverts
ronnie corbett meals on wheels
obnoxious "simon from corrie" lookalike kid on bread advert
ariel advert with chav kid showing off his shirt
The new one advertising some sort of toilet paper where she "invites everyone she met" for a party - sooo god damn cheesy and horrible - "Have you ever had a cheer before for wiping your bottom?" ewwww TOO MUCH INFO at teatime!! Now there is even the newer one where you can "log on and see photos of everyone i met" ERRR NO THANK YOU!!!

I just remarked to my family on the teatime placement of that ad, I'm guessing you're watchingDancing On Ice?
Not only that but it had a 'repeater' after the main ad, so we have to suffer it twice.
There's a few remarks on this thread about it already, but it bears repeating.
Get your revolting a*** wiping ads off my telly!!!

This!! Have British teenagers picked up that annoying californian 'like' thing? I tend to avoid them. Nothing edgy about posh girls pretending to be californian, it's just very very irritating.

Vintage meaning raggedy old crap from Oxfam.

Yes, I actually recognised two of them!

I agree! Bring back Alexsander and Sergei!
Absolutely!

Search 'see you later what does that even mean' on Twitter.
Also, "And then he taped his face to the dog." Uhhh... what the f***?!
Back in the day, gambling establishments were found in quiet corners of city centres, filled with old soaks and cigarette fumes
Now, they are all over TV
Along with payday loans, debt restructuring and cash for gold ads, they are a sign of Britain's sad decline.
Yes, very sad indeed!
It's amongst the worst kind of advertising ever, and must be causing untold problems for some.
