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?

Why do they need to dub American voices with English ones? Do they think that the American voices will put people off of buying Macdonalds? I thought the taste would have done that way before now...
But, it is nice to see Rutger Hauer back in a Guinness advert, seems like many years ago that those ads were on (1987 in fact)

Nobody can speak ill of the football ads though. They're superb.

Heh! I recently posted a similar post in General, and its "Zirtek" for future reference. :-D
"Zirtek controls your hay fever bluueesss!"
Made me laugh, hay fever, a family of sneezing idiots and retarded rock music really don't mix well.

Pur-lease. Some of the rip-off Euro 2004 adverts are atrocious. The coca-cola one, as mentioned, sucks, and then there is the Cheerio's one, which is just plain stupid.
Oh, and that one with the 4 x 4 car, with the commentator blurting out how the car is turning/moving, I mean what the hell is that all about?

Mint card really funny in a way
"Is that {INSERT NAME HERE} riding bare back on the word mint?"
...hmmm, they didn't impress me myself.

I really don't like when they redub over American adverts.
Have any of you seen the new Barclaycard advert with Jennifer Aniston from Friends?
Oh My God it's so terrible and without evening bringing it up many people have told me they really don't like the ad. This is why American celebrities should only do ads in Japan.

The KFC advert with the teen and his perm staring with the expression he's just jismed at the menu - then sits by a fountain.
It's trying to say, "You can have a perm and still get a girl if you eat fast food!"
Utter BS.

Can't think of many at the moment, but one that springs to mind is the Burger King 'pushing car over cliff' one.
Also all new McDonalds ads, such as Salads plus - how desperate do they want to sound?
And the chicken nuggets one for it's sheer stupidity of wording, now everyone who didn't already know is aware that they mostly comprised of a bit of grit scrapped off a battery farm floor in batter before the change.
Edit: One that just came on that annoys me, the Reverse charge call ad; because Holly Valance looks really unattractive in it.
