    Does the lady in the Kindle ad who suggests ordering several of them know that you don't have to buy an ereader device per book?

    The latest Tesco mobile one... everybody in it just looks so bloody daft, i just want to go in there and slap each and every one of them, especially the woman on the front seat. What are they doing just parked there in the rain in the middle of nowhere? Low budget advert?

    I also hate the guy, not just the singer, the other one who doesn't say anything, in the new Go Compare ads, his facial expressions just grate on me and it seems like he is also in the aforementioned Tesco mobile ad as the driver!

    The 'Citizen Khan' adverts that aired a few weeks ago on BBC, totally unfunny and annoying, "Mr Car...Car... Cardinal!"
    Grrrrrrrr... AFAIK they had canned laughter on them which only made it more unbearable.
    All i know is that based on that experience it's at the bottom of my TV watching pecking order along with the X factor and masterchef, both unbearable programmes.

    The Argos aliens... why would they make me want to go to argos? Give me annoying humans any day!

    Oak Furniture Land... or similar... What a rip off! £499 for a bedside table! £5995 for a wardrobe! £10999 for a dining table!
    Looks like the sort of stuff that would fall into pieces after a while and end up on Watchdog, no doubt.

    Yes, the awkward geek landing the sexy blonde girlfriend? Hmm, no way - the advertisers are being far too kind to him, lol. ;)

    Safestyle double glazing - for goodness sake put that man on a diet which doesn't consist of deep fried Mars Bars and get her a decent hairdresser...or in fact any hairdresser.

    Bensons for Beds -please tell me that that woman doesn't call her husband 'Grumpy Pants'. Makes me cringe. They are also heavyweights who could lose a few serious pounds.

    Slightly off topic but there is an ad on Classic FM where someone is speaking and then halfway through the voice changes to what they call a 'normal' voice. It makes me cringe. Just how many people do they think who are listening to Classic FM in the morning have a voice like the man from Dynorod? Weird.

    British Gas adverts on every ad break, who is paying for them ?
    They increase prices and plead poverty to consumers who complain about high bills.

    I have a new most hated ad, the Kindle ad. First off it's not a book, so that p's me right off. It's a device that you can read books on, so stop calling it a book. Secondly, i hate at the start where it says they are real people with hidden camera's..................what a crock, they are actors desperate for work, that is all.

    Any thing to do with payday loans and payday loans again,because they appear in ever single advert again and again in every cheap time slot they can afford and also, Halloween.If the ad people had the chance we would be seeing aftershave and perfume adverts as way for expressing Halloween.

    This ridiculous Irish ad for Meteor:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOfqtDKtuQ4

    Where'd he get that hideous vest? Isn't it animal cruelty to put engine parts into a horse? :confused:


    And it's impossible to take "Danger Zone" seriously after

    Please make them stop the Lotto ads with the bloody irritating song. Has Timmy Mallett sued them yet for going 'Oo waka do Wacaday?" Instant mute button.

    The Argos aliens drive me mad, and I have no idea why they would make anyone want to shop at Argos. Oh, and if the adverts weren't irritating enough my Triplets want Argos aliens for Christmas. Anyone know if you can buy models of them?

    Also, why would a short fat ugly man shouting make anyone want to buy a certain brand of double glazing? And as for the student advert where the geeky one has a blond girlfriend---- well that's unbelievable.

    That Isme.com advert. Not so much because of Carol Vorderman, it's the drippy sounding woman singing. 'Oh I-I-I-I-I Dooby Dooby doo Dooby doo Dooby doo oh I love you.'

    And another drippy sounding woman ruining that Primal Scream song 'Movin' On Up'. Can't remember what it's advertising though!

    Yes!!! I hate the way she says 'And yooouu.' Sounds so sickly sweet, false and patronising.

    The advert with the baby voiced waif 'singing' "Blow me a kiss" etc.. :mad:

    I enjoy good folk songs and music, but those acoustic twee covers must be stopped :mad:

    When I vented my views on this ad there was an awful lot of :mad::mad::mad: in it.

    I detest that ad so much. How thick are they to think that that bit of expensive plastic is a book :mad:
