    The Freeview advert with the dancing fish (yes, I meant what I typed!), I can already see myself getting annoyed by.

    Is that the one with the tadpoles? Ew, it gives me the creeps, especially when a group of the black ones swim towards the 'camera'.

    The one with the " rap " that goes " Talk about the weather ...giving it some leather " ....I can kind of hear his idiot brain going " ooh thats a good rhyme " ....THE worst rapping ive ever heard , which is really going some . I kind of want to physically shake him for being so beyond laughably crap and not even beginning to realise it grrrrr. Surely this kind of gubbins doesnt help to shift a product. ......does it ? :eek:

    Saw a trail last night for a new BBC docusoap about Iceland (the shop:p) promising us an inside view of it's staff and ops
    blah blah.
    Not only is this a blatent advert/plug for the shop they even have the gall to use their name in the programme's title.

    If the BBC are going to advertise I want my licence fee back:mad:

    What's the point of this? Are we expected to think "Hmm, I fancy buying some chemicals now!"?!
    Just makes me think of all those cassettes rotting away in a cupboard.

    Agreed. Irritates me to the core.

    Can someone tell me what the singer is mumbling in the Tetley Tea advert please. Trying to understand the words is driving me mad.

    The new Lloyds bank adverts. More of the "we're on your side" bollocks that banks are coming out with recently.

    Morrisons are advertising a promotion which involves spending a certain amount in store for 9 of the next 10 weeks to get £40 off the Christmas shop. 10 weeks from now is 23rd December, so they have to run the ad now. Can we forgive them that one?

    Apart from that, any Christmas adverts shown before December 1st should be banned.

    Spend £40 for the next 9 weeks to get £40 off? So I have to spend £360 to get £40 off? Great deal Morrisons! :rolleyes:

    The bear is voiced by William Dafoe. Presumably BE are holding his loved ones hostage....

    I am sure that Ian Dury is turning in his grave everytime it is played. who thought it would be a good idea? Vauxhall trying to 'get down wid da kids' and making a mockery of one of the best songs of the late 70s. The talentless oik rapping should be ashamed too.

    My pet hate is adverts in which a skinny woman takes her finger out her mouth and we are supposed to believe she has just poked something calorific in there.

    Offenders include

    1 - Louise of "outstanding seats Louise" noteriety.

    2 - Nicole Scherzinger eating a chocolate yogurt.

    3 - The woman who remembers going to a caramel shop when she was five.

    I can't stand the Kindle advert with that little girl smugly saying "sometimes I just giggle to myself and people say 'what are you laughing at?', and I say '...just a book'."

    How do advertisers find the most spectacularly irritating children to cast in their ads? They could at least pan round to show us what she's reading and have it be 'A Child Called It' or 'American Psycho' or something.
