TV Adverts to Hate

Don't get me started with the ITV4 TdF "adverts" ("smashing it up and down by the river - loved it" ... Aaaaarghhh!)
What tv adverts really annoy you?
Currently for me it's the Subway advert with two athletes on, and the girl one says "what, you can't even handle the jalapeno's?" ...FFS we're British, not American, we just don't do jalapeno's over here.

We buy any car and that new one "I wanna buy your house"!! FWIW i think adverts of poor quality bad acting or terrible music etc shouldn't be allowed.0

used to be Barry Scott from the cilit bang adverts but now any advert irritates me and I take it as a few minutes to see what is on the other channels.
Otherwise thank god for sky+ where fast forward comes into play.0 -
3 posts into the thread and amazingly nobody's mentioned G* C*mp*r* as yet....so I've effectively fixed that for you.

Haribo, the ones with the badly acted family situations. That said, they're designed that way. They're supposed to stick in your head.Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.

talking of badly acted. That new advert for Lebanon (i think).
A guy in the office being asked to do a job by his boss.
pure sh**e0 -
I actually like the Go Compare ones!! (except for the one in the coffee shop when says "bet they only paid him a "tenor""0

I always go for the mute button when the Go Compare adverts come on. I'm guessing that a lot of people do because the bastards even put subtitles on them now. I will never use their website though, just on the principle that the ad is so bad.
The others that wind me up are the ones on the theme "you won't possibly understand this because you are a man". HAH! No, I have a job fixing things for a living so I suppose I'll be able to work out that the a frigging air freshener is on a timer/motion sensor, bitch.

The Go Compare ad where Su Barker takes a missile launcher to the Gio Compario aired tonight.

The noisy Sky advert
Confused.com
Money Supermarket
LV (dom diddy dom aaaarrrrgggg :x ), Aviva insurance and Churchill - begining to see a pattern here.....most insurance adverts are really annoying, except the Meerkat ones!
crap mums go to Iceland
Lynx
DFS
I could go on all day, most of them are crap and annoying and possibly worse are the program 'sponsors' , pointless!0 -

I've corrected your spelling for you.0 -
The Oreo advert with the evil little girl with the CGI mouth.0

I pretty much hate all adverts.
If I have to watch comercial TV (like itv4 for the tour highlites) I record it all on the sky box and just skip them, all of them.
And don't get me started about how loud they are.0 -

Adverts.
Except for Dave, in which case the answer is almost certainly "Top Gear".

Sounds like Richard Keys describing a romantic weekend away with the wife.

Every Halifax Advert made. Just brick-at-the-telly annoying, middle of the road cr@p.
If I was a customer of theirs then I'd walk in to my branch and close my account. Id explain to them why, with a powerpoint presentation, and I'd end said presentation with a dirty protest.0 -

+1 the one where they are presenting a radio show is just plain annoying!
And the new Direct line one where the van driver thinks its his mate Steeeeeevvooo! Ringing him and winding him up really makes me angry!0 -
Also the one for spanish beer when the bloke gets off the ferry and hooks up with 2 chickitas, rubbish. i don't know why it grinds my cack, it just does.0

Any advert which has been filmed in some weird european country and then "dubbed" into English, with horrible time delays and voiceovers. Just awful. Spend a few more quid and get it properly shot for the UK. Lazy gits.
Not really an advert but I hate how just about EVERY show on ITV HAS to have a competition in it, just to rinse people of more money for prizes they wont win. The tour is just about the only thing I ever watch on ITV, and I watch it on Sky + so I can skip adverts and the bas*ard competitions.Cycling prints

Just everything about those ads makes you want to burn Halford's down. Who are they trying to appeal to people with the IQ of slugs. Apologies to slugs.

At least they put the competition on last so you can turn it off. Why have so many adverts - surely eventually people will give up trying to watch. You could condense the tdf highlights into 20 minutes...0 -

I knew there was something good that the IRA were responsible for.
Whatever happened to the dirty protest?
While i'm reminscing whatever hapened to the black maria? If any rioters saw them coming they soon cleared off at high speed. Also mentioned in The guns of brixton by The Clash 8)Death or Glory- Just another Story0 -
