Halifax ones aside, with the goon Howard, we have others.
Capital One No Hassle Platinum Plus Card. Right. Apart from being mildy lame in name, the amount of crappy ads they have is unbelievable. And the fact they change every damn ad about a week after you first see it suggests they have no clue. Plus, on their latest ad, they took out the little 'wwoooobobibibiblblle!' noise the green monster makes, which was hilarious. Fools.
Thanks to Gamesfreak, those Knor sauce ads with the panda. OH LOOK! The panda speaks like a common Englishman! Beltin'! You little minx! How terribly......unoriginal and completely unfunny. Tries to be funny, falls between two stools, and skewers its nads on a - skewer. I hate those ads that revert to humour (i.e let's change a stereotype, by subverting it with an unexpected and funny voice!) Lame, lame lame. Sorry Gamesfreak. But lame.
All these football ads. I like football. I don't like adverts. In particular McDonalds. 'Buy a big Mac bla bla bla' - in perfect English from a perfectly clean and friendly teenage girl. Yeah right. Although the 'Free One!' cry is mildly amusing, the 'bana ba ba noooow!' is utterly infuriating, especially with that sh*te noise that makes it. Rubbish.
And that coke ad with the kid who can't f**king kick a ball. Then he goes 'goal? GOAAALLL!'. Retarded, generic and retarded again.
Anyone else?

Most annoying adverts...hmm...any that include the lines, "Hello mum, I'm on the tele."

There are plenty of ads that annoy me, but none more so than the following:
Evian - Just how do you advertise water? Well someone somewhere thought it would be a good idea to have a load of freaky looking CGI babies synchronising swimming in one of the most disturbing advertisements I've ever seen.
Bloody E-Sure - I suspect the brains behind this one (and I use the world brains very lightly) to be one of those really annoying people who laugh at their own jokes while failing to notice that everyone else thinks he's a pillock. I don't see what's funny about a fat bloke who used to direct crap films trying to milk a joke that wasn‘t even slightly amusing in the first place, Christ knows how they've managed to have the ads run this long.
MacDonald’s - Want to be cool and hip? eat at MacDonald’s seems to be the message behind their slogan "I'm loving it". Loving what exactly? The pulverised grease burgers? The Salad that manages to be fattier than the rest of the food that they scrape off the floor? or the Chicken Nuggets that now, apparently contain chicken as apposed to what ever processed meat they put in before? Here's an idea to improve sales at MacDonald’s, as if they need to, try advertising something remotely edible.

Bacardi Breezer should've kept Tom the cat. Miow.
I really hate the ads they show during the 10 minute freeview for Television X. I'm building up momentum and then suddenly some bloke appears to plug the Daily Star, when I'd rather see Ivor Biggun the plumber plug the dirty housewife from Swansea with his monkey wrench.
Also the ads don't make sense, what's the point in saying "phone now to get connected and experience the best in adult entertainment", when it's obvious I've got my hands full.
Idiots.

The new advert for a Piles spray which sooths the irritation is very annoying. Picture the scene:
a bloke is sitting at the theatre next to his wife in obvious discomfort. He's bored because he's been forced to watch some crap that no one in the theatre likes but are pretending too and his piles start to itch. His wife then starts to berate him like he is a five year old. She doesn't take into consideration that the piles are a symptom related to her husbands' work, which finances such trips to the theatre to watch a play performed entirely in Gaelic, but she starts to scold him for figiting none the less. He wants to tell her to f**k off but deep down knows that she'll threaten to leave him and the kids if he shows her up in public, and anyway she might bring up that incident again. She always does when she wants to humiliate him.
However he keeps figiting and his wife keeps nagging until another woman turns round and makes a large "shhhhhuuuuushh!" noise at them. The man's immediate reaction should have been to do a Jake the Muss on her and scream "don't you fookin shhhhhhussssssh me" and then beat her to death with the undersole of his size nines. Next he'd rip off her ears with his teeth and gouge out her eye balls whilst screaming apoplectic with animal rage until the POlice come along to punch the woman in the stomach for having the audacity to shhhhusshh a man with itchy piles. But he doesn't smack her up. Instead he goes off and sprays his haemorroids and comes back to watch the rest of the 8 hour play.
It's an outrage!
