My dreadful advert award must go that fast food chain advert where they all attempt to sing with their mouths full of food. Disgusting ... Martin

Hi Just when I read the title of your thread I had thought of the same advert!! Why would anybody want to rush out & buy their food based on that adverting!! Penny

I'm with you on that one Martin! awful add!! Margaret

I have to admit that advert makes me laugh! It's been said that it might encourage children to behave like that - what a load of RUBBISH! If peoples' kids are doing things from adverts then they watch too much tv and aren't being disciplined properly!

i simply cannot watch bloody michael bloody winner on the 'calm down' adverts! does me 'ead in!

Totally agree Paul ... that was no 2 in my list!!! Mmartin

The one for anti smoking where they use a lot of goo I think is revolting and have to turn away. Jacky :-)

Definately harder to find good adverts, I hate any to do with insurance Janet

i work in further education and the city and guild one with the bloke inside a bloke is terrible! wouldnt make me sign up for one of our courses!

Dreadful Advert? for me it has to be the current 'Asda' Sharon Osborne does the voice over in her transatlantic-Treacly accent!.........Have to rush for the remote.

jen the gremlin ones seem to work. not sure about the C&G ones though.

Hi Martin Just read your thread and I have to say that that advert is positivly the worst ive ever had the misfortune to come across - I have to quickly switch the sound off when it comes on - it makes me so mad. What do these people take us for? All loan and credit adverts should be banned as well as the ringtones adverts. Vikki xx

I have to mute the tv when Sharon Osbourne starts speaking (screeching). I hate the adverts where 'real' people recount how they hurt themselves at work and got compensation.

i loathe all of them so i leave the room or they are turned off/over every time if i am home. ......my kids love the car that transforms and dances and after hearing about it for the umpteenth time i did have a look ,and yes very clever, but all the others drive me mad.

Absolutely hate Michael Winner's adverts, and they wouldn't insure him he's too old. Know the one you mean Jacky, but think it might work a bit. Hate the compensation adverts and those offering loans. Not seen the singing one, can't be watching the right channels. Ros

we have to 'flick' when adverts come on.

I also hate that one with their mouths full - is it for KFC? I don't normally take a lot of notice of the ads, but I did see one that worried me a bit last night. It was for 'Danone' those little bacteria drinks that now have added 'plant extracts' and it shows a man eating a potted plant. It was shown over the teatime - don't they realise that a lot of houseplants are poisonous and young children could think 'oh what a good idea'? Mandy :(

I have to agree with Paul here. Michael Winner and his mouse drive me nuts and I agree, the C&G one is horrible. Pot noodle adverts are getting a bit ridiculous too, I used to think they were funny. What happende to the classic coca cola and 7up ones with the great music and gorgeous looking guys and gals - they were better than the tv programmes! Jack x

Remember my message about the Pot Noodle Horn ad and how much everyone hated it? - well I have just realised it hasn't been on tv lately (Don't speak too soon). Maybe the Pot Noodle people read our threads.

Calm dowm Jacks, It's only an advert !!!! :-))))
