The Talk Talk advert with the family from banal hell.

Talk Talk need to go out of business.

Jacobs Flatbread, with a really annoying woman murdering 'Don't Leave Me This Way'. Argh!!! Another ad. that requires the 'mute' button.

Oh dear, well just name the place and I'll there at dawn tomorrow. Those adverts are too awful to let it slide.

Blinds to go . With the finger clicking. I used to be able to click 4 fingers but due to unused I'm down to: not as annoying as this advert.

Yes, control your heating when you're out! And your heating is off, anyway because you're not there to bloody use it!!
..
or you could turn the lights on and off, erm the room where you are standing, now I don't about YOU, but in my house I have little boxes on the wall called "Switches" that do the same thing, at no cost.
A bit like the Irish VCR that records programes that you don't want to see and plays them back when you are out

They've lost a million customers over the last year so they might if that carries on.

I know right, I don't know about anybody else but when our house is empty for any length of time the heating goes off. I'd rather walk into a cold house than waste money heating an empty house!

Just seen the Natwest advert again - "We are thoughtful, we are thoughtless, we are heroes, and villains, we are what we do" - terrible advert
Well actually it isnt, it would be quite a nice, thought provoking ad if it wasnt for a bank
That reminds me of another recent ad that was almost spoilt by revealing it was an advert at the end (and I cant remember what it was advertising)

LOL!

And sit in your coat for half an hour while it gets the temperature up!? No ta. Most heating systems are attached to a timer though so it is odd that they chose heating as their showpiece.
I gather this is a joke?! I mean how WOULD you cope if you didn't have your HIVE app?!

Can honestly say, I have never sat for half an hour in my coat in my house, shivering whilst the house heats up! Never happened.

If it's THAT COLD outside (like minus 10 C!) Well the thermostat is always on 10-11 degrees C when we're out, so the heating would come on if it dropped very cold, to stop the pipes freezing! So it would never be that cold.

Learn The #CanSong ARRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!
AWFUL!

And yeah...... if I were a TOY! WTF?! How was this allowed?!

McDonalds and Boots for their awful cover versions of Rhythm of the Night and Everybody's Free respectively. What is it with advertisers and their obsessions with twee, uninspired covers of songs? Having said that, you can bet the cover versions will probably end up doing well in the charts.
They are vile aren't they? Breathy indie girls singers (and boys too!)

This sound is SO 7 years ago!

Oh I hate that.

Also, I know they've been out for a while now, but the meerkats are still hideous and annoying. Is there anyone that laughs at those adverts?
Yes. A chuckle. Leave them meeries alone!.

On a similar note to the one below, and I've mentioned this before - all of the Lloyds Pharmacy promos during The Chase.

It's like they tell the people, "at the knock on the screen, give a look of - I've just done a poo in my pants and I'm midly turned on by it'"

Personally, I use the pharmacy nearest to my GP surgery. It's irrelevant if Lloyds were promising to deliver Jennifer Aniston in the nude with my prescription, or if they threatened to murder my family, I go with whoever's closest.

I really despise that Betsafe woman on Dave in the evenings.

If there was some humour to the sponsorship ads then maybe I'd weather the storm everytime she appears but I have to change channel immediately because she is such a patronising cow.
It's worse when they try to be humourous, since they rarely are and they end up being excruciating, a la the Bosch promos that used to be on Sunday Brunch. Random lines shouted in over-exaggerated accents. I had to reach for the mute every time or, if I couldn't get there in time, just shout "LALALALALALALALA!" over the top of it, to avoid the feeling of wanting to kill.

I prefer the Betsafe lady to those hideous Just Eat promos though.

These ads always seem to be on during the middle of the day, on certain channels:
Sunlife adverts
Ga la la la, ga la la la, heeeey, BINGO

I just saw that Bensons for Beds advert for the first time. Lots of people doing apparently inspirational and exciting things, getting ready for work, out jogging, exercising. Be this, be that, etc.

Until the advert finished I genuinely had no idea what the product being advertised was. Not that that's unusual these days.

I suspected it might have been one of those drippy "we care for you" bank ads, or a mobile phone company or an insurance company, anything. Certainly it was accompanied by the now seemingly standard advert weedy female vocal type music.

Turns out it's for...beds.

Go away.

I refuse to buy from food shops that have the Just Eat sticker in their window, because their ads are so disgusting, as I have actually told my local pizza shop

That Samsung advert with the French gibberish soundtrack (do-be do-be lack tick-tick) is really doing my tits in.

the new ads for Hungry House look more like ads for the tv show Gogglebox

Oh hell yes. I was just coming into this thread to post on this ad when I saw your post.

She's a beautiful woman but she's so clubland. She's got that cheesiness you get in singers on that circuit.

The dubbing on the Calgon advert is hilariously bad. Don't think I've laughed at an advert that much in a while.
