Default TV Adverts

I think like most people I watch a lot of telly, but to me the worst part are the adverts on most sat and ITV channels. So I was wondering which is the advert that annoys you the most. mine is the no win no fee ads especially the one were the guy says "I was asked to install a alarm system but was given the wrong type of ladder" I find myself shouting at the telly "you shouldn't have used it then you D***Head its your own B***** fault Wats your all time worst advert

The ones which annoy me are those which encourage people to borrow more money if they are drowning in debt. Especially when they are fronted by someone who gives the impression of being a level headed person.

I used to enjoy seeing a lot of adverts that were around 10-20 years ago. I can't think of any modern ones off the top of my head that I enjoyed - plenty that irritate though!

One of the worst I've seen must be the loan company one where the wife is filming the husband on the phone while he negotiates a loan!?!?!

Car adverts in general leave me cold, it's all about gadgets and folding seats nowadays
The Citroen ads with the transformer car is a joke imo, to me it says "The best thing about this car is the electronic gizmos" when everybody know french auto electrics have a mind of their own...what does that say about the rest of the car? Good animation of the robot though!

Is that the one where they have people making big telephones out of sofas and duvets for no particular reason?
