Adverts that make you wanna smash your TV set up.

fking Pyjamama, what a pile of ste. What kind of message is Vauxhall trying to send across? The opposite of the latest Tiguan advert? A car for parents that are a bit, erm, caaaancil? Off that needs to fkl.

[Zammy]

Whooaa just seen the crosslandx advert.... Wtf!!!!! Seriously Vauxhall??

[67Dino]

Kinder Egg ads, brilliantly combining massive exaggeration of the value of the minuscule flimsy tat inside with a standard of dubbing not seen since Kung-Fu films of the 1970s and acting skills from the Mother figure that would make a Thunderbird blush.

Thank you, I feel better now.

Estrella Damm advert / trailer for the cringey hipster Spanish short film from some old dude nobody has ever heard of.

Prolly been posted before. But it is so sh*t. Cannot believe anyone aspires to such nonsense just because it looks like the Ibiza trip they did a few years ago.

Esther Rantzen, that former doyenne of consumer protection, is now advertising for one of the parasitic ambulance chaser websites.

The Kia cricket celebration advert that was on during the Royal London final yesterday was infuriating. With the test match about to start I don't think I've seen the last of it either.

Laughing Cow advert but only because I find the cow attractive, in a Caramel Bunny sort of way

Yep, I mentioned it earlier when it infested I think the Le Mans coverage on Eurosport. Pretentious product placement short films.

You must have quite an unusual lounge layout.

A few votes here.....

The Gladstone Brookes ad with the guy whose face you'd never tire of smacking with a shovel. "What have you done? Nothing? Haven't you heard? - Yes, I have fking heard because I get phone calls, emails and TV ads all asking me,y ou tt.

The GTech adverts. Hell, I'd have put that fking dog down by now if it insisted on climbing all over my newly vacuumed furniture.

The Hastings car insurance ad with the talking statue and seagull. Just so naff, I have no words.

Paddy Power ad with the coach driver is quite funny but they've cut it in half now to fit into a shorter commercial break.

[Dr Doofenshmirtz]

That fking AA advert with that irritatingly cutesy fking kid singing in the back as the check engine light comes on. Dad, rather than swearing profusely as his car lunches itself, casually pulls into a lay-by closely followed by the AA man with his OBDII reader which magically fixes the car
Arghhh!!

[abzmike]

Any BT advert that promises the best broadband ever, the best wifi ever, the best best best ever discount ever blah, blah. I'm on BT and get ripped a new one every month being on a EO line and paying massively for the privilege, with crap performance no alternatives. Really rips my knitting...

The sole reason I almost exclusively use Confused.com

This, which has many times made me wonder: the go compare adverts are clearly following a theme that is knowingly annoying, although you almost hope there is a (small and deranged) percentage of the population that 'like' it; but it winds up many including me - so is there data on the net benefit of these stty ads? So they are betting that pissing off 50% of the population is worth it to be 'quirky and interesting' to 10-15% that then call them?

Someone will be along in a minute to tell you it's all about brand awareness and that's what counts.

I don't doubt you are correct; but my awareness of the brand is established at the 'obnoxious bunch of tts inflicting inane drivel on the public' and will never darken their door or navigate to their website.

Yep, me too. There's a lot of stuff I deliberately don't buy because their adverts irritate me too much, but apparently it's all about getting the name out there.
