    Haha man TV makes my brain want to escape from my head. I haven't owned a tv in years and always use adblock on my computer so I don't have to put up with this crap. I can really see how that ad must be grinding around in your skull though lol...

    Re: Most annoying British Adverts!

    what annoys me further is why do companies allow their products to be abused and put their reputation down the drain with these ads. Don't they look at them before they are authorised or are the ones in charge also idiots

    Right now, any olympics advert that plays "London Calling" annoys me. "Oh hey, it's London 2012! Lets play a song that's about how much London sucks".

    Haha Spank, there's a huge Go Compare sign in Newhaven that's been vandalised with the 'Compare' crossed out, and 'Jump off a cliff' graffiti'd in it's place.
    I'll try grab a pic next time I'm going past it

    I think that's the official sign actually, since I've seen several other ones like it.

    I personally love the Go Compare adverts, so I can't really comment...

    Those damn computer generated dogs for the Andrex toilet paper. The ones where they are so forcibly made to be as cute as possible in every possible scene. I hate it so much, and actively avoid buying from that brand.

    Re: Most annoying British Adverts!

    Its funny how the Go Compare ads have now capitalised on how much he annoys us they have started shooting rockets at him and using graffiti on their own billboard posters.

    My wife hates all the tampon and thrush cream adverts on TV.
