Default Annoying Adverts

Everybody must have a pet hate advert that the second you clap eyes on it or hear it , it instantly makes you want to boycott that product entirely . I have had a few over the years and what beggars belief is that somebody paid an agency to dream this papp up for the client and they accept it and go with it . No one in that room raised there hand at the time and said "Ummm , sorry , but this is ****"

Anyway my first one is the V05 advert where the recruits are supposed to get their hair shaved ........... it`s the annoying "Singing" in the background , that skrikey awful noise that is alikened to fingernails being dragged down a blackboard

But , we now have a new low of Moronic cack , if you thought the Crazy Frog stuff was just mental Diarrhoea then this has to be my most hated advert of all time so far

Luckily I don`t have a scabby old car that I need to sell in a hurry otherwise I may have to fill it full of Explosives and drive it towards the nearest place that does this , jump out , roll to a stop on the roadside .... lean on one elbow and watch the large mushroomed fireball erupt from their premises and smile smugly as they flee with their hair on fire ....... Anyhooo , what advert drives you mad and for what reason ?

Im not going to say it.

But yes there are quite a few, the ones that they dub annoy me fabreeze is one of them, where the woman says, "you need to wash this room" all the people in the add look like they arent saying that, same with the colgate adverts.

Anything to do with confused.com, its an*ly retentive and tries to portray anyone online as an 80's t*at.

Churchill car insurance. I want to take a chainsaw to that annoying dog. Even if they were the cheapest quote, I'd try to get another company to match it, rather than give them my money.
