I'm sure it's been covered but I think it's Aviva where what appears to be female child is so incompetent at driving they have managed to crash into a petshop and kill a load of fluffy animals.
Even more so when whatever teenager is in charge of replying to Aviva's Facebook messages doesn't get the reference to Monty python's killer rabbit that someone made.

Listening to Absolute Radio I have 3 now that grate on me, all discussed already

The woman's voice on the Vodafone one.

The KFC one(s), there are two incarnations, one with the 'what the cluck' and the other where the deal apparently costs thir-eeen 99.

And then the cretin doing the Asda one.


And breathe.

Agree about the Vodaphone women,s voice.

But he's saving the planet. Just as Billy Gates said we should all be eating synthetic meat yesterday.

I thought it was part inspired by the old Fast Show sketch

Has no one noticed the "plant" at the table is presumably a flycatcher and thus carniverous?

Sure but it probably only eats vegetarians and vegans so that's OK.

Plants suck up dead people as nutrients. It's a cycle.

The look them in the eyes adverts the government/NHS are running, I think they have overstepped the mark big time with them.

Made me seeth - nearly smashed up my telly! I make a point of muting the damn thing every time there's an ad break & finding something else to do for 5 minutes....

They are horrible adverts. I hate them. I even put in a complaint to the ASA.

I made a formal complaint about them too not that I expect it will do any good

[kainedog]

Probably the Jeanne paul gauttier perfume advert where the woman slaps the male sailor on the arse, doubt it would be acceptable the other way around

It’s the constant repetition that grates more than anything. If I ever watch normal TV (which is becoming rarer these days), it’s the fact that you get the same ad every 10 minutes for the entire duration of whatever you’re watching. Nothing specifically stands out, they’re all desperately irritating.

On the st channels, the constant “news series of....” bits, endlessly repeated, is also grating. If they got rid of these, they might get a bigger audience....

Dave, Quest, DMAX are all terrible for this. Every ad break (and there are a lot of ad breaks on these channels) its the same set of 'Coming soon on.........' trailers.
They don't seem to realise that any interest you might have had in the new show, will have long since vanished under a mountain of anger and annoyance, after you have watched the same trailer, every ad break for 6 weeks.

Alexa..

Grown man "Alexa, which volcano destroyed Pompeii?"...

You fking gormless imbecilic tt!! I thought everyone should know that..

Cast your mind back to 'Are you smarter than a 10 year old' or watch any current episode of 'Tipping point', 'The Chase' or 'Pointless', and you will realise that the man in the Alexa ad is representative of a fair proportion of the UK adult population.

Agreed. I know the government has a lot on its plate at the moment but a law passed to ban Nationwide from ever advertising would be a vote winner for me!!

Aldi, with the Volvo reversing into the garage. Are they trying to lose existing customers and put new ones off too? It's stupid as well as rubbish.

Vinted. Who the fk buys clothes they don't use in the first place? More importantly, who the fk would actually want to buy my jeans? I wear them until they're totally threadbare. Current pair are over 3 years old....
