Mini Roadster advert where they are balancing on the edge of the quay and throwing things out of the car to try and reduce the weight at the front. Driver then suddenly realises the spoiler is extended so flicks a switch and retracts it and the back wheels touch down.

However while the spoiler is extended, it is farther away from the pivot point and therefore having a greater effect than it is while retracted. Retracting the spoiler should have really put them in the drink if it really was balancing like that.

Any men's razor advert featuring computer animation, with words like "Fusion" or "Titanium" or "Pro-Glide" or "Quattro" or "Mach" or any other meaningless word designed to convince men into thinking that the mundane act of shaving is cool.

Getting fed up of the O2 ad variations. The only good thing about them was Catherine Steadman and she's not in the latest ones.

Cosmetics ads with fantastically long chemical sounding names.

Anything with Quentin Wilson doing a voiceover. So smarmy.

A number of ads with rap in them have appeared, I assume they are saying something to do with the product in them?

Do anyone use these costly 118 numbers? what with the internet, several phone books being shoved through my letterbox a few times a year and local newspapers yealding several local companies numbers, I have never needed any reason to use them.........

Toothpaste adverts and their fake "science" with animations of teeth

however, I'd love to see toilet roll adverts done in a similar style

My favourite is the amazing futuristic pen-shaped scanner that instantly renders someones smile into a 3d animation showing colonies of bacteria and dental plaque

You missed out "Stealth" - Dara O'Briain rants on about this in one of his DVDs, razor manufacturers coming up with all those macho names, and asking who wants a stealth razor - what's the point of having a razor you can't locate when you need it?

Also missed out the 'WOOOO!' from some arse coming in behind you whilst you have a sharp blade at your throat.

Auto-bloody-Glass - AAAARRRGGGGHHH! Every time I hear that jingle, my urge to throw the radio out the nearest window increases! I had been listening to Absolute Radio for about an hour and I heard the same bloody Autoglass advert at least TEN TIMES! If I ever need a chip removed from a windscreen I will never EVER use Autoglass purely because of their annoying radio adverts!
The next person who mentions a chip in the windscreen will get a punch in the face!

Why don't Go Compare and Autoglass combine to make an advert? Then Gavin can fill Gio Compario's gob with his special resin!

Getting fed up of the plinky plonky piano music that many ads are starting to use. It seems alot more common now.

One ad break I saw earlier had one cleaning surfaces to get rid of bacteria, another to get rid of baceria on your teeth, followed by yakult baceria drink, who was the bright spark who set that ad break up

I keep seeing that Rob Brydon ad for those Kelloggs Clusters in the style of that old Ferrero Rocher/ambassador's party advert.
It's just so cringeworthy and totally crap...words cannot describe just how fecking lame it is!

Betting ads are very annoying!

The worst 2 are the ones with Ray Winstone turning into a bad parody of himself and the Ladbrokes ones with the screaming idiot who says game on about 5 times in 10 seconds, pillock.

If I see that ill mannered tart & her Magnum once more I think I'll need some Prozac to calm my shattered nerves
Who on God's earth crunches an ice cream like that wish her teeth would crack & come flying out her mouth

The Weetabix one with kid that says "You're going to need it."

There is something about his tone I don't like, insolence perhaps.

Hello Raymundo, what's the live odds then?

If my floating head told me football betting odds I'd be frightened!
