Adverts that drive you mad

I think its getting to the point where adverts are becoming counter productive.
Me and Mrs are at the point, where if any product we regular buy has annoying advert we now look for an alternative.
10 second ads are the way to go. Product name highlighted and less annoying celebs
 
Charity adverts that ask you to donate £29.68, or some other specific astronomical amount. What happened to the days when you could decide for yourself how much you could afford to give, or who to give to?

Any advert with any Beckham, especially David, with his fake frown serious face, or his false grin gormless face. Why can't he just quietly retire from public life? It's not as if he needs the money. He's not a statesman. He's not an ambassador. He's not a national treasure or a legend. Just disappear, you massive narcissist.

Everyone is a mini musical in it's own right....boring and as said, counter productive as they're all the same. Perfume ones are the same and supermarket ones are the same and womens fashion ones...you know the ones where a line of nice looking women, or blokes, flaunce up to the camera in a pseudo aggresive manner in the vain attempt to flog us a cheap jumper.

Saw an advert this evening for the Sun Life funeral plan. To quote Quint in Jaws; Jesus H Christ. Where do they find these actors and scriptwriters; the local job centre? It made the infamous Ferrero Rocher ads look like masterpieces.

Are they still working through their stockpile of Parker pens?

The oddest ad' is the one where HE is in the bath and she is talking to him, hiding behind a half open door.
 
The advert for travel insurance where a couple are seated in an aeroplane, waiting for runway clearance.
About to take off without seat belts and with drinks in hand. A bit silly really, even for an advert.
 
The advert for On The Beach.

A completely overdone gag based around "booking" sounding a little bit like "f*cking".

Paddy McGuiness doing the voiceover in his usual way of trying to sound funny with a grossly exaggerated northern accent.

The chubby kid who throughout the advert seems a right annoying little c*nt who if I ever saw in an airport wouldn't be far away from a slap.

Needless to say, next time I book a holiday it won't be through them!

Yes. Shit.

What's with the oh-so-dramatic song trying to make shaving seem like the most emotional thing someone will ever do? And why does no-one on the advert accidentally nick themselves whilst shaving, leaving their neck pissing with blood? At least give us some realism with the promotional material.
 
Mattress topper ads which go on for 5 minutes with non-stop rabbiting off some smarmy arse
 
When adverts amused and you looked forward to seeing the next one
One to remember for older blue mooners
The carling black label adverts especially the one that had 3 adverts rolled into one with the cowboys

McGuiness is about as funny as cancer. Baffling how he's made a career out of comedy.
 
The Nescafé pod adverts.
Don't mind George Cluny, but the way they make out it's the "drink of the gods" is outrageous.
Always have ugly women in the adverts, as well...
