With you on We buy any car. Are people really that dense to want to throw money away when selling their car? It’s an ad that is designed to get people to want to sell their car though, which means invariably that they also need to buy another car… from one of the subsidiaries of the We buy any car business. Clever advertising, but irritable none the less.

Coors Light. Especially the one with the bloke swimming through snow. They reckon they're 'supporting comedy' - but it has never made me laugh.

And here's Chris Porter's thought....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUXFtZJ8f3A

Super Noodles - just some bloke shouting for a long time. Almost as annoying as that 90s “song” Ride on Time, some woman screaming into a microphone for about 3 minutes


Also Just Eat - a bloke with the most annoying tone of voice

Is it 'Quickbooks' that shows an evidently self employed person getting excited over the accounts package and then says at the end 'Not available for the self employed'.

Agree totally ! Unfunny robotic voice promoting lard-arses' ability to order a variety of grim, unhealthy food brands without budging from their sofa. Also uses the smug phrase "We got it" which I always find irritating..

All of them. Every. Single. One.

...still, they ain't a patch on radio adverts. They're for simpletons whose minds have already gone.

Any advert with a breathy, nauseating, stripped down rendition of a classic song

I remember the days when there were just two advert breaks in an hour long programme - now it’s at least 3.

Worst and best TV advert was the old 1970s Hovis football advert , depicting the early days of football. ' When I was a lad me dad took me to see Stanley v United '. But where in the 1970s could they film at an old decrepit stadium, to re-enact the first world war type era. It was filmed at Ewood Park of course. 😉

Careful, the “Boomer” police are on the lookout for posters who “remember the days”. You’re on their watch list now

The Tesco one, where the guy scans his Clubcard on his phone, then screams, “ I’ve got the power “. Very annoying.

Those cringe adverts flogging Life Insurance and Commemorative Gold Coins which feature regularly on afternoon TV.

McDonalds with the eyebrows!

If you watch American tv that’s on another level. There’s one for deodorant where a sweaty woman tells us it’s great for pits, under boobs, thigh folds and ass crack! This is it. https://youtu.be/OjztXyq8pNE?feature=shared

There's an advert for Sky Protect / Home Insurance where the Giant from Jack & The Beanstalk looks at this spy camera app and rumbles a young man knocking one off at the bottom of his beanstalk…

Does anyone else see that? If that's not what happening (obviously)… what is he supposed to be doing? I don't get it

I can't find the advert on YouTube to show you
