Anything in which an overweight balding slob with two brain cells is married to a smart and beautiful professional woman in order to show how 'sensible' buying the product/service is.
Also, anything promoting some expensive hi-tech thing to 'trendy urbanites' by making the advert look like it cost 50p, featuring lots of 'ordinary people' and featuring some Independent-female-American-singer-songwriter-with-a-guitar singing an incredibly simple, childish song about being green or blowing bubbles or looking at all the pretty clouds over the top of it.
However, the ultimate object of my advert-rage are the IBM adverts. Smug, boring, humourless American business types in C&A suits who probably work for a firm with 'solutions' in the title raising cynical eyebrows at eccentrics before showing how hard-working and efficient they are as a result of owning some computer with a silly name like 'thinkbook' or 'tossrag' or something. It's the whole 'we're above being interesting and human because we're in BUSINESS!' attitude that puts me off buying anything from IBM at all.
Same goes for that copycat 'gotomycomputer' advert.
That said, I love the new Stella advert. At least someone's remembered the art of selling by making your products look glamorous.

I got called out to a Man who had ignored a crack in his windscreen.
He was just setting off on holiday when BANG!111!!A CRACK APPEARS AND THE WORLD f

OK, so that's not exactly how the radio add goes, but it's bloody annoying. A crack in your windscreen does not mean you have to stop driving the car.

In August FFS - Not everyine in here is sad enough to remember every f'ing post let alone trawl back for them to post again!!!On topic any of the tacky Nintendo ads (Wii or DS) with the so called celebs trying their hardest to look like their having fun.
Moron adverts that encourage you to become a driving instructor.
"Earn £30,000 a year! All you need is a driving licence!"
They don't mention that to earn £30k you'll have to work every hour god sends.
That ASDA advert with the song that starts "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" is really grating because the song's so flippin' catchy in an annoying way

I've watched that advert many times and can't for the life of me understand why they chose such a complete gangly munter who appears to be the illicit love-child of Marty Feldman and Jon Tickle.No wonder her friends stole her chocolate, I'd empty the house and leave if I woke up next to her!!
