Actimel and the farmer to the tune of 'walk this way'
Awful advert that really doesn't work.
It's not even the original song. It's an ad agency sound booth rip sung by the guy that sings about half the songs in UK ads.

The greatest current crime against music is, however, the advert for Flash.

Another really annoying radio ad is the one for Vauxhall saying that they got an extra £500 off for test driving a car.

It features 2 women - Lou and Bec - who are obviously heavily based on Mel and Sue!!
I can see that Becs,

I can see that!

The sound mix is so wrong on this it drives me mental, almost sounds like the first one is parroting back the second "I can see that". I was going to ring up my local radio station and see how much it would cost me for them to NOT play it.

As a homeworker, I like to have the telly on in the background to stave off the cabin fever*. Naturally the sort of adverts on daytime TV target the typical audience, which is coffin-dodgers and dole scum. It is over-50s life insurance for the former, and for the latter, it is ambulance chasers, pay-day loans, and other associated financial products for people with piss-poor credit histories.

The one that is really annoying me at the moment is "I have the card of Vanquis" (APR 39.9%)

If you don't watch Jeremy Kyle, and curiosity has the better of you, fill yer boots!

*Okay, so nobody at work knows I am really watching re-runs of Bergerac on UKTV Drama!

Agree with this one. Which idiot thought that a stupid monster would be a suitable advert for a pension ? I'm sure the ad. agency who cooked that up were handsomely paid, but I doubt it has any impact on people organising a pension.

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but I can't stand that new Corsa advert. It's like it's being advertised as a fking app-loaded smartphone on wheels that does the "tricky" things for you... like parking, or actually driving the damn thing properly.

The thing I find the most annoying about this advert, is when the little boy sings:

"I'll be the QUEEN of the land"

As it's overplayed so much now, watching the tele with my 5 year old nephew, he turned to me and quizzed why a boy wanted to be a Queen. I tried to tell little Jonny that some boys want to be girls but being 5, he didn't understand why he wouldn't want to be King.
Seriously? You had a chat about gender identity with a five year old?

Seems an odd thing to be annoyed by but each to their own.

He asked a valid question so I answered.

It annoys me for the reason above.

Paid in what exactly, hallucinatory substances? They must've been in order to come up with something like that.

I'm disappointed there isn't one about always wiping after having a st, not running with scissors, avoiding poking yourself in the eye with sharp objects and not chewing with your mouth open.

"Call me Mr Greenlight",

Er, no, I already have another name for you Corden, it rhymes with "Animating Punt".

That one confused me, I thought at first that it was for Greenlight Insurance. But it is for Confused. And Marc Bolan music, killed in a car accident.
Very clever. Or something.

The sneaky adverts for what are clearly Christmas products, whisky chocolate perfume etc but they are not actually using the C word on them yet
I'm sure come the end of that very British festival of Halloween they will be slightly edited so we can have the full festive experience.

st trailer for what I suspect will be a st 'comedy' about Nigel Farage; plastering someone's face with enough make-up to stun an ox does not make them look like the pop-eyed Sam the American Eagle lookalike that Farage is.

Samsung VR?

Dad goes and records a gig for his daughter.

Must have been so hard for her not to go with such awful sniffles.
