Do they still do those "East Enders - Everyones watching it" on the beeb?
In fact any East Enders advert where one of its actors is trying to be all weighty and dramatic.

East Enders really grinds my gears.

Then there are the Halifax adverts. Based on how annoying they are I would purposefully never use any product of theirs, no matter how enticing the interest rate.

Obviously NOT if you have to goto a loan company to pay off your debts with an extortionate Interest Rate MATE:loopy:

Anti wrinkle creams/aging lift creams ...advertised by 20 year old models ?!?! :loopy: ''wow look at the effect it has'' - PERLEASE !

The TOM TOM advert :rant: can't remember what name they use instead of Tom but it really bugs me. I will never buy a TomTom because of it.

Also the Sheilas wheels, loan adverts, and beauty adverts, especially the ones where the speaking is out of cinq.

The advert for weight watchers, I think, where everyone is commenting on soem woman who was supposed to be overweight.

Especially the bit were her on screen husband goes on about 'getting the women back he married'.

I hope she Bobbits him and then runs off with someone who appreciates her for what she is and not what she was x years and n children and a lazy, arrogant husband ago.

They should bring back some of the classic adverts of the 70s and 80s IMO.

Stuff like the Green X Code ads starring David "Darth Vader" Prowse, it'd teach the students road safety skills which some of them are sadly lacking in IMHO, and of course the SMASH ads with those Martians (yes, shockingly I am old enough to remember those).

I'd echo the Halifax comment but I rarely watch TV now without the remote in my hand. The latest Ladbroke's ad is beginning to exhaust the batteries as Ian Wright, McCoist, Kamara and co. appear - usual nonsense being proffered!
Thereafter, the Gospel Singers' ad or Injury Lawyers 4U, meet with a similar response.

Not so much the adverts, but the concept of "good bacteria" - frankly, if they're so good, how has the human race survived for so long without them?

Nadine Baggott can **** right off.

How dreadful are the people they use in the MFI ones? Especially that mother with her awful face "Don't start, don't start? Where've you been?"

Picture adverts go without saying.

Why does the Littlewoods Direct warehouse seem to be located in Africa?

but they must get the tv viewing public to respond as they have been running for a while now

the earlier ads were pretty cool but they have gone for ads which wind you upon viewing now although they are not as bad as people have made out on this post
