What for you is the most irritating advert on the TV at the moment? For us its the 'Go ' one where the guy suddenly appears and starts squawing 'Go Compare'. We can't reach for the mute button quick enough!!!
:giggle:
But I love just that compare ad & I sing along to it in the car! redface
The genre of ad that make me willie tingle with rage are those supposedly tongue in cheek ads for loans were the dopey bloke is the last one to figure out what to do & the wife is always on the ball... I hate them!!! banghead

Am with you - I hate it ! whats worse is someone in work loves it and sings it all the time lol
The nescafe advert we capture coffee at its brightest. Was watching tv the other night only for about an hour with my daught and they showed it every commerical break and it just goes on and on.
Maybe it's because I'm reaching the Victor Meldrew stage of my mentality, but I find most telly adverts annoying nowadays. I have to agree that stupid singing bloke you mentioned really gets on my tits, but so do all the ones for cosmetics.
WTF is Hyrdolonoic Acid, and why would acid be good for your skin?
Why do they think we believe that Eva Longoria sits at home every weekend dying her roots?
I could go on for hours but the voices are telling me to walk away now! ;-)
That ad where theres supposed to be 80 cars hidden in it...wayyyyy too fast to find them.
The fat solicitor bloke who is going to Make them pay you compensation, he scares me !
Michael Winner advertising insurance.
The cillit bang man, why doe she shout ?
I could go on, but I won't !
The mascara advert that shows you how huge and long your eye lashes will look if you use their product - and then they add "enhanced in post production"... how stooooooopid do they think we are?

Heyyyyyy, paws off the Meerkat smackbottom
The Meerkat rulez ........ simples wink
Anything with children, partically the one with the obnoxious kid who'll only take a dump at his mates house. lock the little sod under the satirs and let him sit in his own stroppyness.
also, perfume ads, they're all different but the same, i can spot em a mile off but don't have a clue what'brand' any of them are for....pointless self indulgence :doh:
err, i shall exit this thread before i start ranting bolt
or that bloody advert where you send an old mobile off in the post - bloody "actors" cheesy grin needs knocking off his face! mad
Any advert selling a new and improved product for cleaning your house. Mainly because my 6-yr old son keeps coming to me and telling me to buy them to make our house sparkle and shine. WTF our house is fine dull thankyou! evil
I usually record the programs I want to watch -- then I can fast-forward through all the annoying ads.....
i dont like adverts in general but i tolerate them, however we dont watch much tv and when we do its often recorded so we can skip thru them cus gary hates all adverts !!
i love the thompson advert tho with the welcome to my world music smile
bolt i dont watch hardly any adverts just switch over when they come on then go back to my programme around 4 mins later...

The ones that use 20 year old models in face cream ads. Of course they don't have wrinkles using this cream ffs! :doh: In the words of the ever-superb Jo Brand - try using anti wrinkle cream on men's bollocks. If you can get the wrinkles out of those bastards, you're onto a winner! :thumbup:
Ambulance chaser ads
Insurance ads
anything with Michael Winner poke

Agreed there Pete :thumbup: I love that advert lol
Yeah that kid who won't go to the loo unlesss there's air freshner in the toilet annoys the mr to death.
There is one that annoys me to death at the minute, it's such an overused advert, but for the life of me I cannot think what it is now.
Strangely enough I'm watching more telly these days.
I agree that the Go one is really bad.
The thing that's got up my nose lately is the little whistle at the end of the McDonalds adverts. Makes you want to stuff yer quarter pounder down their throat with a bit o' relish - if you know what I mean. :twisted:
.
every single one of them we buy ya old gold adsgets on my tits - like we dont know gold is worth summat!!
and ocean finance and all their ilk - ffs giv us a break - and thats anotha one the Kit-Kat kareoke ad - its shit
the smarmy cat in Iams pet food grates on me nerves
I'll have to stop now b4 this becomes a rant
lead me to the calming room please nurse
Thanks everyone for your great comments, look forward to more.
By the way, re the Shake and Vac ad; Madame Smooth does that every day............in her dreams!!!
That shredded wheat advert with the women all staring at the box in wonderment and muttering about there only being one ingredient and how that makes life easier. FFS did they find them in a home for the permanently bewildered?
Seriously - if the content of their breakfast is the biggest worry on their minds they should try my life - or any normal person's life.
Of course they are actresses with real lives of their own and probably needed the money but REALLY! Could you EVER be that hard up that you'd present yourself as thick as custard on national TV?
If it is supposed to make me think - aha that is the answer to my early morning confusion. They are sadly and very badly mistaken. They are simply insulting the intelligence of everyone with the wit to hit the channel button on the remote.
I have refused to buy perfectly good products because of ads that weren't as annoying as that one. (Cillit bang for instance)

Danne is right I really dont like adverts :).....the worst ones at the mo are the go compare singing tenor bloke one and those ads for any spare gold you have lying around???? as if you would send it royal mail to some strange company.....
I've remembered another type that annoys me, anything dubbed. You're spending £x00,000 on slots to show us this shite so at least make something thats relevant to the uk and that might make be want to buy your product.....you might as well just wipe yer arse with the money then at least you've had some use out of it rolleyes

When that little brat says "I want to do a poo at Pauls"
I could throw somthing at the telly mad
L.B

Every time I see it I turn over!

It's great code for when you're in company though... we used it on holiday!
"I need to go to Paul's house" is way more subtle than "I'm off back to the apartment for a shit".
