The one where the nice reasonable chap explains to idiots how he gets a little help from some nice chaps on the internet who send him cash when he's a bit short to payday. In the small print these fiscal heroes explain that they charge 1400% interest. Horrible business model preying on the dim and desperate.
The new Comet (could be curries) ones are going to become very annoying, they seem to be sponsoring every programme at Christmas. The 1920's sounding brass bit to the tune is doing my head in already!!
That camp fuckwit incoherently wittering on about J20 Berries or something, dont get, dont like it, wont buy it and he is an annoying tosser.....bring back Corona Fizzical.....
The one where they claim everyone who comes to your house is "judging your loo", tell you what Mr.Ad agency man, if that's the case you want to take a long hard look at yourself and the company you keep...
The M & S christmas ad, merely because they have the second rate karaoke twats doing it.
My wife, who tells me she knows about these kind of things, says that a lot of the adverts are meant to be cheesey/annoying as they gain anti-hero staus and are therefore watched with a sense of clever/clever thick/thick.
The meercats are the best advert ever - Everybody knows what they are advertising which is the whole point. Genius. The Iceland adverts always make me cringe but they do their job. If I want cheap rubbish food, I know where I can get it now.
The Ribena one where the cartoon blackcurrants are drinking Ribena. That makes them the soft fruit equvilent of cannibals. (They can't be vampire currants because the sun is up.)
It didn't annoy me, but I couldn't help but noticing the advertising hoardings around the edge of the Swansea pitch the other day: Nivea, official skincare provider for Team England. I bet that persuaded a lot of Jacks to rush to Boots after the game. Was there ever a worse placed advert - except perhaps Palace ticket ads in Greenwich?
On the radio (and tv, as it turns out) there's a woman who does about a gazillion voiceovers and ads and her voice pisses me off immensely. She's also the voice of virginmedia's customer services menu thing when you phone them up. (While typing this I thought I'd look on t'internet to see who she is - her name's Leona Graham.) Every single thing she advertises is spoken in exactly the same way. I can't put my finger on why I find it so annoying but she just makes me want to scream. If you look her up and listen to one of her ads, I guarantee you'll notice her everywhere. To quote Jim Royle, she's like shit in a field.
Bedsaddick is right. The "Steeeeevvve" advert is incredible in how annoying it is. It has no redeemable feature. Fortunately, Sky Plus has reduced my list considerably.
- Anything Halifax do - The trainline advert (I don't need a train ticket from them anyway) - Any advert involving a footballer kicking a ball that is not related to boots or balls - An ad I saw this morning for investing in Macedonia. Jesus wept. It was shot with an 80s camcorder. Less than 1% of us might be interested in investing, but nobody would invest in the people behind that advert anyway.
Just listened to Leona - LordRomford, I am probably about to get as annoyed as you now I know of her!!

I agree with everything above.

And the gravy cow is freaky!
The way he says 'Wickes' annoys me beyond belief.
All of the stupid adverts you get on the BBC now advertising their own programmes.
Ones I love include Ray Winstone's "no, you're the daddy" Skybet one - just the look & the pointed finger says it all.
And the PG Fresh Brew one with Jonny Vegas........"how can a tea taste....EAGLE" has me & my 8 year old laughing everytime.
