Possibly the most annoying adverts at present are:
DFS - #when you're smiling...#
Homebase - why on earth use a Natasha Beddingfield song?

I'm getting annoyed of the More Than adverts, with the old man saying "40 years I've had my No claims", because it is irritiating, and it sounds like they're trying to copy Michael Winner from the eSure/First Alternative adverts.

The Cillit Bang advert is more effective than you think. When looking for that Cillit Bang re-mix i posted, i actually found a few Cillit Bang fan websites. Including a shrine to BARRY SCOTT Laughing

Because it saves them having to compose their own piece? Rolling Eyes

My pet hate is any advert which comes on at mealtimes promoting nappies, anti-constipation tablets, anti-diarrhoea solutions etc. The last thing I want to hear discussed when having my food is bodily functions - indeed ettiquette dictates that you don't discuss these things when eating. Yet advertisers seem to think otherwise.

It seems Burger King have dropped their 'We're Burger King, You're The Boss' slogan. It did seem pretty pointless though!

At the moment, they don't have a slogan. What do you think it should be?

I must admit I LIKE the new Homebase ads. They are alot more stylish than the old ones.

I also love the latest KFC one - where they are in a call centre.

I find the Honda Ads whith the baloons coming out of the head very disturbing.

Now that ad is very annoying . . . possibly one of the most annoying ads I've seen (bar the ringtone ones) in a long time!

I bloody hate that KFC advert!

Other for the list:
E-sure
Specsavers ads (shoould have gone to specsavers) after the bloke loses his glasses off of the boat, oh we couldn't see what was coming Rolling Eyes
any ad that starts "during your period..."
Vanish ads as if a woman would only take that little clothing on holiday more like three suitcases full Wink
That hair advert with the gay bloke out of the salon.

Cant think of anymore at the moment

Current favourite : Nibble Nobby's Nuts!

There's nothing worse than them. The whole family sitting around the TV and an advert for towels comes on. Very akward!
