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?

Also that car advert with the window cleaner who slips off his ladder and the lady spots him. She says two of the most stupid things that is possible in that situation. Firstly *stay there* as she rushes down the stairs (because obviously he was going to nip off to the local pizza place for some food) and when she gets down there *hold on* (yes because he wasn't doing that before was he you dozy cow?)

Also, any advert with Tim Henman in.

The WKD adverts are quite good, but the ones with the karate guy make me want to gouge out my eyes.

"Timelife Gospel CD collection" advert.

ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!

Those people all singing these religious songs in huge groups and it being recorded to CD - to be sold "at amazing value for money".

The advert is about ten minutes long and ALL the songs sound the same.

First time I saw this advert, I thought it had to be a joke. Then I kept seeing it, now I might not shave with my Mach 3 Turbo and switch to Wilkinson Sword Quattro. It is beyond terrible.

There was a Bassetts multivitamin advert and a Baby Bio advert in the mornings a couple years ago - I'm sure they played them to encourage me to get out the house and get to school.
