    Its truly insulting isn't it?

    what's that you say Mr Dolmio? you couldn't find an actual Italin to VO you're dreadful dutch product?

    Not a surprise really, no self respecting Italian would go anywhere near the junk

    Its not just Dolmio, what about the elderly Bertolli ladies who giggle when one of them (or was it a dog?) snatches the mans towel, leaving him bare. Of course thats ruled as 'just a bit of fun' *cue eye roll* its cringe-y.

    Really getting sick of that iPhone advert which features a crying baby screeching at the beginning of it. Do they think that's a sound that everybody wants to hear blaring from their TV every ad break?

    And then we have to suffer through the rest of the advert (which is about 5 minutes long) featuring another twee, soulless, acoustic track with an indistinct female voice murmuring some pointless lyrics.

    I'm starting to think the baby might be crying at the beginning because it knows how annoying the rest of the advert is!

    I swear the actress for his girlfriend has changed 3 times. Either that or he's getting through them quickly!

    The new 4OD ad for "short shorts" :o how the heck does that get played after 6pm?!

    The worst part of it is seeing what looks like a "118 118" guy in shorts with his ass showing (clearly by ad looks like no underwear on at all)

    I'm not sure whether or not you're referring to the same advert I'm really getting fed up of listening to now, but at the start, some teenage boy asks the older man, something to the effect : "have you got broadband/the ineternet?"

    The older man replies : "Ahh yes! It's bang on this broadband, and none of that buffering malarchi."

    Anyway, I've heard that man repeat that sentence so many times now that I'm getting SO fed up to the back teeth of being forced to hear it! :(:(

    I'm not sure I remember seeing a woman in the ad or not, but your reply made me chuckle a lot anyway. :p

    The bit I hate most about that ad is right at the end when the old guy whips out his tablet or iPhone and starts randomly dabbing away on the screen, the way he does it is so unrealistic! How hard can it be to act like you're doing something on the phone?

    However, still top of my list by absolutely MILES is the Cravendale ad, with the 'biscuit boy' in his pants. I don't know where to start, every teeny tiny little thing about it irritates me immensely, the song more than anything else! I have to quickly flick over to another channel before the singing starts or I swear I'll have a meltdown! (Scuse the pun)

    Man with expensive car buys expensive parachute and puts it in the back of his car.

    Are they trying to tell us that the brakes are not that good and we should get a parachute in case of emergencies :D

    I do often wonder, the way they both crack up and pi$$ themselves, in the Aunt Bessie advert 'ooh look Mabel, spotted dick' I wonder if that is an outake but its that good they left it as it was?

    Just had a particularly bilious couple of minutes.....

    First it was JanePlan "do you want a diet that real works?" - that sickly voice, that insane grin - I want to hurt myself!

    & then to push me over the edge the smug-as-f*ck FiftyPlus woman swaggers onto my screen! - I shall now seek therapy! :cry:

    Have they done a woman TV version, they have on the Radio ?

    I'm hating people on toothpaste adverts who look like they have painted them with tippex. Shakira and some woman on a catwalk.

    Madbid.com - crappy animation and the actors supplying the voices of the two characters are woeful!
