The pot noodle add is horrible really offensive - the stupid desil engine one with the silly song, that you find yourself humming drives me mad too - the Halifax - anything to do with cars - the stair lift add with a woman sitting in it who looks like she could run a marathon never mind up the stairs - the 'brand new customers only' bank add - the wrinkle cream adds with models of 18.

I hav'nt seen this Pot Noodle one that you all detest. I tend to watch BBC and tape on the other channels therefore skipping the adverts. Sometimes they are going for five minutes so I go and do something else. |

I wonder if we have 'moles' on this site, doing market research on the cheap? Lily |

I think Captain Birds Eye is a bit suspect. And hair shampoos that contain things like 'Bistrodistervene' what ever these are. Stephen Fry isn't good at maths because 1795=2005 is not 300 years (Twinings advert) good job his not doing his family tree. Regards to all. |

On a brighter note - I LOVE the one for Comet where the lad says '50p' - in that brilliant accent! Picked up something in a charity shop for 50p and smile every time I use it, his voice resounding in my ears. Lily |

Ireally reall hate the advert for Car Insurance when the bloke is crying.I think it is gross. I'm pretty sick of Lucky,and pantene and other beauty products which tell woman they are worth it. My favourite one,and I never tire of it is the transforming car which break dances.Great but hopeless as an advert as I can't remember the product it is advertising.-Rose |

Tracy, I agree. I thought I was the only one that didn't like her... I think she's incredibly false... |

Someone's already mentioned it but I particularly hate the Safestyle Uk window ad with either the mouthy Manc in the multicolured coat SHOUTING at me or Cannon and Ball doing the same thing and telling me to 'Get on the piggin' phone!' Lately I really hate the McDonald's pound savers ads with the bloke talking in a phoney foreign accent, halfway between Swedish and Welsh. Why??? I particularly resent the fact that someone gets paid a hell of a lot more than me for coming up with such inane ideas. |

I hate most of those already mentioned. One that gets right up my nose is that flipping advert with the kid who says '50p'. The products are probably only worth that much! My young grandson says it just to get me going! Grrrr Aileen |
