The bloody Peugeot 108 advert is boiling my piss at the moment. Like you say it's almost very video I watch!
This...
Christ on a bike, why do they do the same video every time? I get Uber and have done for about 3 months.

Quick Quid. I hate their adverts in general, but have a special hatred for the one where the guy has broken down - the guy playing the mechanic is unbelievably appalling.

Vauxhall advertising the new Insignia.

Starts off with a bloke picking up an Insignia after a valet, booking a hotel room via OnStar and then turning up at work before handing over the keys to his (female) boss.

Posted mainly for the hilariously bad strapline - "New Insignia. This is confidence" laughlaugh

Edit - Ah crap. Amazon have started running the bloody Dog-Lion advert again too banghead

Have to agree!
They could've just added a slogan like: "Still awake yet? Check the Vauxhall website to see how we tried polishing a turd"

Not on TV. But the online adverts with text saying "No ring roads, no parking problems, no congestion". Except the Virgin station here is accessed from the ring road, parking has been full in the past when I've needed it, and you struggle to leave at peak times.

They declined to comment when I pointed that out on facebook.

Any where the inclusion of a minority is obviously contrived. It's just a devious campaign to promote some sort of social or political message. Actually this applies to everything on TV, adverts. & programmes. .

Will somebody please please kill the f****ing frogs in the Bud advert. It is on nearly every advert break and it is such a pathetic advert. Perhaps they could drown in a pond of the stuff!

Credit where credit is due, the frogs' acting is much better than the actors in many adverts.

Be careful, as they might bring back the "What's Up" advert...

Purple Bricks. "Save your self from commisery"

Only the biggest issue when moving home is not the commission, it's a ste conveyancer dragging the whole process out. And with PB you are tied to THEIR conveyancer!

And you KNOW they'll be one of the conveyancing factories that are ste!

Garbage advert, garbage beer. Free beer handed out to their target consumers in Liverpool, the homeless and vulnerable - http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/homeless-peop...

+ 1 for the Vauxhall advert. Only just seen it. It is bad on so many different levels.

it's a re-hash of a 90s or maybe even 80s ad.

maybe more of an online/poster ad (the tagline may be on the TV ad too) but has anyone seen the new Insignia one where it says "this is not a car". No, it really is definitely a car, and a mediocre one at that. Why are they trying to pretend anyone buys a family vauxhall for anything other than cheapness and necessity?

Shirley nobody buys one. A company might inflict one on someone. But there can't be a queue of people looking to buy privately...can there?

There's a radio advert for Nytol

It is THE WORST NOISE EVER.

Some tw@ playing Greensleeves on the recorder for the whole advert, makes me think that would be a side effect of taking their drugs, rather than wanting to buy it.

Fire prevention advert.
Something along the lines of the hairdryer was connected to the something connected to the something else and they all died.

I know it's supposed to be somber and monotone but I just find it annoying.

One of the Army radio adverts annoys me because the young girl in it seems to talk through her nose.
