Any of the ads promising money for gold. makes me want to phone for one of their envelopes and fill it with chocolate coins.

This road safety ad annoys me too.............

This one REALLY annoys me.............

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-GZdyKzh1g

When I was a courier, I took the tapes of this ad to the editing studio, I used to drive the road they filmed the crash on every day and the accident they portray is practically a physical impossibility, hey ho dramatic licence!

The advert I loathe the most at the moment is the childrens charity advert Davina Macall is doing - it is the most patronising BS I have ever seen. It looks like she is on the verge of tears when it starts, and its so insincere.

Another pet hate is the latest govenment tosh about CO2 where the parent is reading his little girl a story. "Will there be a hapy ending Daddy?" Shut up. Stop talking to me like I am three or give me proper facts.

Any car insurance adverts, but specifically the 'operatic' gocompare and anything to so with the biggest corporate ***** on the planet - Alexander.

The bike insurer advert on eurosport - the guy on the advert needs to have his collarbones broken so he can't shrug his shoulders with every line of the irritating script.



...all this pent up stress can't be good for me.

Lots of adverts that get on my nerves, however, what does really get me is the way that advertisers now say, our product is better than x product. in the old days, things used to be sold on its own merits and not by one up man ship.

I do like the new Sony Ericsson ad where everyone is on space hoppers

Anyway annoying ads

Go Compare
ANY wheres theres balme theres a claim type ads
The new Cilit bang ads...bring back Barry Scott
and the biggest bug bare is the BBC self advertising all the time!

I ranted about the second one when it was first aired as I found it to be a complete load of horse ****.. there are so many factors in an accident that it is nieve to actually broadcast that the bigger the speed the bigger the mess..

you can roll a car at 20mph and still roll it several times as the energy changes direction, seee its wound me up again
