    Whats the worst advert currently on TV? (mini rant)

    Ok, we all hate adverts, they interrupt our TV proggies, leave us on mini cliff hangers and then attempt to bombard us with products we can't afford, don't want and can live without.

    Maybe not all adverts, because there have been some classics out there (Red Car, Blue Car, Milky way - John West Salmon with the Bear - Harp adverts, etc etc) but the vast majority are absolute drivel and poorly presented (stick in a tampon and go roller skating anyone?) which annoys me no end.

    So, thus begs the question, what is the most annoying advert currently on our screens, and also, as a side note, the most annoying advert ever.

    In the interests of sanity, the Crazy Frog is banned from this discussion, i nearly stopped watching TV because of it.

    My choice for current advert would be Tresemme, i physically cringe every time i hear that guy come on.

    "and if my customers ask me, WHICH THEY DO, i tell them....."

    i seriously want to fry that guys eyeballs with a set of hot tongs, stick scissors in his ears and shove the contents of a jar of hair bleach into his mouth, tape it shut and stick him under the hairdryer for 3 hours.



    We're only here for the Banter - The Luvvies - Chewin' The Fat

    Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.

Any for loans ..argghh. I must admit i like the new one where they make a Skoda? out of cake ! and my all time favourite , is the one of the horses and the cereal bar.

    All Loan type companies, but the Hastings Finance one in particular. Makes me glad I'm at work so I don't get to see it very often.

    Any PC world advert gets to me, and the advert selling those double glazed windows 'you buy one, you get one free, I said you buy one you get one free!' **strangely knocks over double glazed windows**
