If this hasn't been mentioned before --- there is a daytime advert from one of these "quick loan " companies showing a woman wanting a loan and alongside her is a little girl on her mobile phone !!
Ditch the mobile phone contract for a start should save you a stash ----

Amazon Echo..
cares so much for this dog. A machine has to tell him he's back from the Vet
then they play "just the two of us", and whoever came up with that idea got paid an obscene amount ...
Amazon Echo: £150 (plus £50 each for all the dot things you can put around the house for some reason)

Using the equivalent on your phone: Zero

Using the latter while in earshot of anyone in public makes you look like a prat on a scale of 1-10: 100.

Also hate the ad with that prat holding a webcam/camera in the front row of a concert - idiots like that ruin the concert - going experience.
What is it plugged into? Where's his laptop? You couldn't carry that in there.

I thought the recording of concerts and sporting events was prohibited anyway?

Not sure what the actual advert is for, but the one with Will.I.Am "reinventing" a classic as he puts it by putting a horrendously cheap dance beat over Otis Reading's Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay
Will.I.Am......says it all. He just does everything by computer. He'll ruin anything (Britney made Scream & Shout work) but i've not seen the advert you mentioned and don't want too!

Diabetes UK lottery. The people who find out they have won very annoying dancing.
Dancing is good for diabetics as they can lose weight which helps (from a diabetic) but i've not seen this advert either.

I see the new Postcode Lottery ad has a woman crying in it now as people don't help each other much these days. Whilst I agree with her, i'm fed up with the 'charity' angle these people go down the line of to try and make you think this is why people play it and why you should.

People need some way of paying their premium rate call charges.
In this day who even uses their extortionate call rates anymore? when almost everyone has acces to the internet on a phone and can get any number they want for free.

Wish these ads trying to persuade people to gamble (that's what it is) would show the huge number of those who haven't won as well as the few who have.

I think you answered your own question right there, i.e. "those who don't".

I think it's Unilever, and it's been on a while, so I'm sure I'm not the only one, who can't stand that uber annoying little girl (madam) "The world is changing - and that's a good thing!" What an irritating little brat!

That is the point of the ad. Holiday Inns are so good they even make shitholes appear appealing.

Sadly Christmas adverts have been annoying us for several weeks now, the difference now is that they are just turning up the volume. It can only get worse.

The Park rip-off ads. for people who can't handle money, pay into this scheme and are then stuck with buying all their stuff from Park.

At least the 'young mum' isn't the usual munter but where is dad? Even the one where the kids are going to bed - no sign of the bloke who's actually paying for all that crap.

They are single mothers and the dole are paying for all their crap.

I agree with you! I find that advert so pointless, repetitive and annoying

Also; the ITV Hub advert where the black dude in the smart clothes and hat shouts ITV programme names at people, for e.g. Family Guy, Downton Abbey. That really gets on my wick It's the really cheesy smile on his face that really does it for me lol

Also; the Just Eat advert with the man's voice and people shouting Chinese food names (man in the swimming pool, lady on the bus). That's so cringeworthy but not as bad as the 'I Need A Balti' and 'Chicken Madras' songs lol

A lot of the adverts today, I find really annoying lol but I guess that's how the channels make their money

There's an advert for.... something.... with a girl filling in her football sticker book and is missing a sticker so her dad arranges meeting with the player as a nice surprise but then the mum shakes her head as if to say "don't, it's too expensive". Then later, when the husband is asleep, SHE arranges to meet the player so presumably gets all the thanks and gratitude from the child when it was the husband's idea and she poo-pood it : /
I find it strange that they have no ability to send off for missing stickers, like Panini do.

I thought the recording of concerts and sporting events was prohibited anyway?
If it is, they don't seem to enforce it - I've been to a number of games (including in the Premier League) where some idiots get their phones out whenever their team has a corner or free kick near the goal area.

Heinz Beans @learnthecansong. who the hell sits around playing a tin of Beans ?
Do you reckon they think we're unaware of Anna Kendrick's Cup Song?

They do glam it up.

Most people know that the losers are paying the winners, but so many vulnerable people out there that aren't protected.
