    That 11850 advert with the two spanners handing phones to random people.

    Worst of all, I came across a video of the making of this crap.

    I am making it my business to use 11811 or golden pages from now on .

    Thanks to Sky+ I don't see many ads anymore. I even give programs 15 mins to build up so I can skip at least half the ads. I'm so sad. :(

    I do this sometimes as well.

    As for ads I hate, other than the Volvic wanker ("little cheeky volvic", "watch out boys" - followed by a limp wristed prance while playing... BASEBALL :confused: )

    There's also the Ambrosia ad, although it's on the radio, so I'd be nuts to to want to break my TV because of it. Some woman with the stupidest, most annoying accent ever as a talking cow saying "I can be a kid, a kid with a tail." AAHHHH :mad:

    I hate all those actimel, activia yakult etc type ads. They are all just spoofers. I also despise that new guiness ad "area 22" or some bullsh1t like that.

    Not a TV ad, so off topic...BUT, that annoying radio ad for some freight company where the narrator says :

    "BLACK AND YELLOW, BLACK AND YELLOW, BLACK AND YELLOW"

    ...really fast, multiple times! gaaarrgh!!!

    Even the "music" is horrific

    It's an ad for some computer company or computer software, not sure what though :confused: but they have to tell you everything about it in less than 15 seconds and there's a little countdown clock in the corner! :mad: makes me so angry especially the one with the girl in a cafe who knocks over her cup at the end...

    As mentioned before; cheeky volvic, poo at Paul's, go compare and the one about nail fungus where the little monster lifts up the big toe nail aghhhhh why?! :eek:

    I hate that add I think its for some sort of air freshner where a mother walks into her sons room and says he cant have friends over with the way it smells, then when his friends walk in a girl goes wow it smells so fresh I just want to rip her head off hahaha.

    and this guy well he speaks or should I say shouts for himself:

    The (possibly Meteor) one with the people in an office coming up with an invention and the cleaner being all grumpy and asking whether it cleans cups. Can't put my finger on it but there is something really, really infuriating about that ad.
    The guy in the giving up smoking ad - I don't doubt he's a lovely fella but his uber posh accent makes me want to do a Van Gogh on my ears.

    The one where the two little witches press-gang their dad into dyeing his hair so he gets a date.

    I console myself by imagining that he eventually marries the woman he's dating at the end of the advert, only for her to persuade him to put both kids into care.
    :D

    +1 though, horrible ad: "If you are a grey-haired man, you are not worthy of a date - come join us attractive people by dying your hair, then you will be allowed a date!"

    Although the ads for women's hair dye contain pretty much the same message ("Greys? What greys?") if not as blatantly insulting.

    What about the Blackrock Clinic ad for hair restoration and they keep showing a bloody lion. Are they saying they'll give people a mane? I'd like to see that actually.

    Speaking of lions:
    Two men drinking in a bar. Once falls over unconscious.
    Bartender: Hey you can't leave that lyin' on the floor of my bar.
    Customer:That's not a lion. That's my mate. :o

    This Sensodyne one:

    "Where is this product going wrong? Nowhere."

    She's like a female David Brent, except it's not funny.
