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?

I've decided now to just save time and hate any ad that is about insurance of any kind, getting a loan or some accident helpline rewarding idiots for their stupidity.

*i fell down a load of stairs after slipping in a puddle of water that was clearly labelled by 6 slippery surfaces signs. But thanks to the way this country has gone now my incompetance and stupidity have been rewarded with a cheque for £10,000 thanks to the National Accident Helpline.......They're such nice people*

Of course they're nice people they just got you a few grand for nothing you dozy cow.

Have to say that is the part of the ads that annoy me the most.

'It's only a commercial'

You people are so hard to please.

At least the wotsits advert has a decent tune.

The ironic thing about women getting cheaper insurance based upon their gender is that European legislation deems it disciminatory against men. So companies may not be allowed to make such offers in future.

What I have observed about women on adverts is that they have no shame. Tampax, thrush, diarrhoea, you name it they'll advertise it.
