I can't stand TV ads, but I realise they are a necessary evil! But why are some of them so bloody cheesy and droll? My most hated ones (in no particular order):
Sun Bingo. That fat bint that shouts "Are you gonna bingo?"
Sun Life. Bloody nosey neighbour June would get on my tits if she lived next door to me!
Cillit Bang. Barry bloody Scott! Say no more!
Compare the Market. Those stupid meercats have now run the course. They're boring now.
Money Supermarket. "Gaylord! You're so Money Supermarket!" er, no! You're a twat!
The writers of these and many more deserve to be hung, drawn and quartered!
Which ones are your most hated?

All the perfume and aftershave xmas adverts, most of which are the same as least years. Especially the bizarre Johnny Depp one which has been dug up for the 4th xmas in a row now.

The aldi (or is it Lidl?) Kevin the carrot ones too. Whoever sanctions this kind of drivel needs to give their head a wobble.

Nationwide adverts. All day. End of discussion.

It's even worse than the car sales one where the sound goes.

That car sales one is very clever, you can be doing anything with the tv on in the background, as soon as it goes quiet you look at the screen. The one that does my nut in is the Virgin one for super fast broadband, the bloody voice over is terrible, that deep american drawl you get on film trailers.

Yep, it still catches me out. Whoever thought of it thought outside the box.

"Is the TV broke?"

Pretty much all the car adverts. Cliched nonsense - usually open roads, a mountain pass, off road adventures, that's why there's so many idiots driving SUVs in cities.

All the IT based ones with folksy female wistfully singing as if the latest laptop upgrade is life changing.

Don't have a specific one in mind but the ones I hate come out before Valentine's Day and Christmas.
They are from expensive jewelry shops and say things like "She'll treasure this symbol of your love, and you know she's worth it".
Well maybe she wasn't worth it this year.

The Beagle St life insurance ad's with the young couples moving into a house and the woman starts going on about getting his life insurance sorted - she's clearly planning to murder the guy for the payout.

That makes me laugh! He hasn't even unpacked any boxes and she's going on about life insurance! Isn't that the smug git who says "I'm 32 and I've never smoked!" I just wanna ram a packet of fags up his bleedin' arse! Smug twat!

Those ones are so fake. Same as the over 50 sunlife type ones.

It's not a TV advert per se...

But I remember at Christmas time year before last watching a 20-odd minute YouTube video. The advert that came on was legitimately a full hour and a half documentary about something I had no interest in whatsoever. Needless to say, I was very relieved to see the skip ad button come up. No way was I sitting through that. How could anyone think its a good idea to have an advert that's longer than the video you're watching is beyond me!

Actually, I think someone also cleverly managed to take advantage of it by uploading an ad that was an hour and a half of him playing a game. He basically uploaded a YouTube video as an advert. I don't know how many people got to see it, but a bit of genius self promotion, in some ways!

Nothing bothers me. I must be weird.

Ads pretty much never, ever sink in with me either. The Sun Bingo one I am guessing I must have seen, but have no idea what the ad is. Someone would have to describe it to me.

Pretty much every ad mentioned on here I had to look up. I see an ad and it just washes over me and I have no idea what it's for, for the most part.

And besides, I record just about everything, so I always fast forward through all the ads anyway.

The one about that new Cathedral Lanes restaurant or that new pizza place didn't sink in?

I hate the fact that silent car showroom one gets me every single time. Have to admire whoever came up with it
