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?

The adverts that really wind me up are the bloody mobile ringtone/game/wallpaper ads.
"Text ANAL1, ANAL2 or ANAL3 to 81188!"
NO!
At times they will actually play 2-3 of those ads in succession, just to rub it in.
And don't get me started on the bloody dancing purple hippo thing - that is absolutely disgusting.

Me again...
Damn those Curries adverts! Linda Barker may need a smack in the face, but poor David Seaman was a respected football goalie.
CURRIES - ALWAYS CUTTING PRICES *snip snip*

Latest ones to annoy me are:
The AOL Ad for their broadband. Isn't the purpose of an advert to inform people of the product, get them interested in it and show how it's better then everything else on the market? So how exactly is a situation where a guy gets saved from his girlfriend from viewing his stag party pics by the broadband limit on his current internet server meant to make us want to switch over to AOL? Surely every man with a stag night coming up now will be switching over to the other server with the download limit on?
Also the adverts with the people whispering. I can't stand the sound of whispering and when you have a child that wouldn't sound out of place in a bad horror movie whispering at a football match and also that ad on the beach about UV rays or something it pushes the annoyance meter very high.

Dear God, Michael Winner is a horrendous director. Don't get me wrong, he has a lot of balls to dress up like a fairy in that blasted E-sure advert (or rather, just two balls); but he can not present us with this filth about calm-down cr@p!
As for the Diamond ads, sort your hair out and fire your agent:
DAUGHTER: "I'll pay for this, I've got new car cover"
MUM: "Well, what a coincidence, so have I. I'll pay"
D: "But mine is aimed at women"
M: "So's mine"
D: "Mine's Diamond"
M: "Mine's Diamond"
BOTH: "DIAMOND!"
Gimme a f****** break.
Yes Car Credit - where evidently it's easy to say "Yes" and class yourself as an actress.
I agree about the Colgate advert aswell. Why Tom? That goes for those awful detergent adverts aswell with those really ugly dolls. Why is that minging blue one called Darren? I have a really good mate called Darren so I have no problem with the name, but why Darren?
Red Bull have been using the same method of advertising for years now and it's BORING! CHANGE IT, I'M NOT INTERESTED!
WKD have crossed the line from funny, to "Where's the remote?"
I don't hate charity adverts like RSPCA or NSPCC etc. But some of them are so sad you have to change the channel.
The only good adverts out right now are IBM, Barcleycard, and the only good loan advert around "More Than". THAT'S GOOD ADVERTISING! Another advert I have to watch cos it's so creepy is that new sun lotion one with those attractive people frollocking on the beach who become horrifically sun-scarred and freckled - GREAT.

The new ads where BT is making a bunch of promises like; if the first person that you speak to cannot solve the problem, they'll make it their priority to get it solved by finding/contacting someoneelse who can. You're joking right? You phone some girl who is either a temp or on a short term contract (or in India) and tell her your problem, then they have to show initiative and determination to follow it through to resolution. Never going to happen. You phone up, tell them the problem whilst they made rude hand gestures about you to their colleagues and then enter your details incorrectly because they are just not bothered and weren't listening anyway. Nothing will get done.
The Currys ads with Linda Barker AND David Seaman in;
The horror. The horror.
