SkySports and their ludicrous hyping of the rebranded sports channels. "Now you can have channels dedicated to your sport, even closer to you" or something like that.
All they've done is put cricket on what was SkySports1, instead of its usual place on SkySports2. Wow! One whole click on my remote! "Closer to you" indeed. Whatever minion in their offices came up with that and the manager who signed it off together with the expense of making those ads need stringing up by their balls with cheese wire. Wasting my exorbitant subscription.
No, what they've done is split up the channels so that you can subscribe to the individual channels that you want (e.g. F1) rather than have to subscribe to the whole Sky Sports pack just to get the one channel that you want. It's nothing to do with just changing the channel numbers.All they've done is put cricket on what was SkySports1, instead of its usual place on SkySports2. Wow! One whole click on my remote!

The current lead pi$$boiler is the AA ad with the singing toddler.
Its the attention to detail that heaps irritation upon irritation.
Cute toddler is clearly appallingly fake lip synched to the annoying MOR American song. For some reason it reminds me of those sickly/creepy kiddie beauty paedgent things.
Dad is driving to the airport, when his check engine light comes on. When did the AA ever fix anyone's breakdown involving a check engine light? In time to make it to the airport and catch your flight?
I have a sneaking suspicion that the AA bloke's mouth is the one photoshopped onto the cute toddler.
Its some sort of record for the quantity of bull$hit crammed into 20 seconds! Grrr!
Another downvote for the AA advert. It is one of the creepiest ads ever made in the history of television.Its the attention to detail that heaps irritation upon irritation.

Separately, the new Peugeot 208 advert, where some recruitment-consultant-lookalike is flicked into an outdoor pool, has to be the sh*ttiest on TV right now. No pretty woman is gonna be seen dead in such a cr*ppy little car.

Both purely because of the adverts. I will happily pay more elsewhere even though I'm probably using the same parent company in the end.
There's a radio ad for "Feel Good Drinks" today which has some woman getting all excited about skinny dipping en-masse with other women as some kind of liberating experience. Although I fail to see what this has to do with "Feel Good Drinks", what irritates me is the woman happily states that "Even my own husband isn't allowed to see me naked", yet she's happy to strip off in public and go for a swim with loads of other strangers.
The Sky Sports radio ads in recent weeks irritate me with some football pundit person screaming or wailing to express surprise at a man putting the ball in the net or similar - very annoying noises.
Last radio ad, the Tanner and Darwood? dentist ad with the most Scottish sounding woman in the world, who's words seem to get stuck in her throat as she's speaking. A very annoying voice.

Heard that this morning and picked up on that comment. Her and hubby need a chat about trust methinks. .

Bad enough for the AA's chief executive to resign. Its the attention to detail that heaps irritation upon irritation.

Don't know if it's been covered, but whichever advert it is that uses the Christmas song "I wish it could be summer" - I hate Christmas at the best of times, please don't make me an angry bitter man that hates Summer too*...
* Too late....
That's the Boots advert and you ate not alone.* Too late....
