It's a really daft advert, isn't it? Maybe we're supposed to wonder about the stories behind the people (like the woman being so touched that the bloke made her sandwich) but as you say you just think .

Can't bear any loan adverts but any that feature The Vorderman and those bloody awful Picture ones are particularly dire.

Re: What Adverts do you hate the most?

any advert on a cable channel during the day. easily classified into
a) I fell over and i think i can make a bit of cash from it
b) I'm in loads of debt but borrowing more will help.

I would never take a service from any company that made such cringeworthy adverts. bleugh.

Re: What Adverts do you hate the most?

any advert that is immediately followed by my daughter saying "I'd like that"

grrr... those cunning advertisers did it again!!!! I think they should ban adverts that make children want things.... yeah!! that should do it!!

And C) Charity adds. (That's where your donations go instead of to the starving kids).

I Hate the radio ads which have sirens/phones in the background.

Anything with a voiceover by Jo Whiley. I wish she would learn howto talk! "The new smash hit album from the arctic monkeys, get it now" No thanks you stupid bint, it's absolute rubbish, now get off the bandwagon and stop telling us what to listen to

Re: What Adverts do you hate the most?

I hate the OP for starting this thread!

I'm still humming the OVALTINIES. it's been in my head for 2 days!!!! I even noticed a tin of the stuff in the supermarket, must have always been stocked, but I never noticed it before.
