    I absolutely detest those ASDA adverts where they get children to sing what are good songs. They've scarred Hank Williams and Roy Orbison in my memory.

    Hahahaha that's brilliant

    Yes, I do detest TV adverts as well. What annoys me even more is when people talk about TV adverts, start quoting them and singing them if they were actual TV programmes. Bloody Howard from the Halifax opening stores... buying Churchill dogs etc. Grrrrr.

    How about
    "John Wayne - the Hero, the Soldier, the Cowboy..."
    NO!
    John Wayne - The ACTOR that stayed in Hollywood when real heros were in Europe fighting, when real cowboys were fighting and dying against Nazis - While John Wayne stayed at home and furthered his career...

    you and me both, or how 'absorbant' new underwear liner ares - not pritty.


    What ticks me off is foreign adds with cheap voice over, like that airwick one. ''1 puff...99 puffs....501...'' The kids counts them?? WHY??

    if your going to advertise your product at least put some effort in - see Citroen, honda or any beer adverts.

    Although the OP hates the new BT family adverts, it works, as were here in a thread discussing it, but then again were not talking about the advertised product.
    Anyways... another advert that annoyed was the Nescafe couples ones, I did like the BT one with Maurean Lipman in and the oxo family one purely for the fact that Linda Bellingham was in it

    I'm just waiting on the new BT ad where the boy in the ad is caught using a phone sex chatline and the fella has to take the blame when the MASSIVE phone bill turns up. lol

    I think the worst are the insurance adverts i.e. admiral & elephant! Although I'm sure there are worse! I'm currently looking for insurance, but they just turn me off! Churchil are getting slightly annoying too!

    If you don't like the adverts don't watch them. Become one of the annyoing people like me that takes control of the remote and flicks through other channels to see what else is on, only to find that there is a conspiracy to time all ad breaks at the same time
