the worst advert at the moment?

[RHCP rule]

whats the worst advert on television at the moment?

[ludwig]

The one with Michael Winner in front of a stately home, and a woman prancing up and down with a 'hello mum' sign. (Please no-one say 'calm down ludwig, it's only a commercial')

[beale]

I think the esure adverts have smashed the boundaries of crapness to become the best commercials on telly.

[andy hughes]

i can't remember the product, skin care I think, all that sticks in my mind is the woman speaking in the moronic interogative - "... said it was my skin?" which has to be the most annoying speech pattern in the English language.

[thewillow]

Not an ad as such, but those Leerdammer cheese intros before Midsomer Murders, Inspector Morse and Foyle's War absolutely drive me to distraction. They are so crass. I know dozens of people who will never buy the stuff because of these appallingly irritating slots. Phew! Got that off my chest.

[apex204]

While we're on the subject of crap car insurance adverts, can I just say that Diamond (with the appalling acting) and that stupid dancing Elephant for elephant.co.uk really wind me up?

[beale]

Oh wait, the new Charmin advert with those women comparing toilet roll.

[jenky]

"I'm on holiday - not my wrinkles"... never understood that one.

[andytreble99]

i'm particularly hating the advert that *like* puts turns every sentence into a question (?) *like* by raising the intonation of her voice (?) while she talks about her *like* dentist (?) Colgate i think!

[splodger]

Any ad with Andi Mcdowell fencing against wrinkles for God's sake

[DOB]

There's an add in Ireland at the moment for a energy bar (I won't dignify them with the name) which is on before and after every Olympics problem (because they sponsor the coverage) and all it is is the energy bar on a bike, on the track, getting a massage. It's so bad, I now watch BBC

[apex204]

I hear ya about the Charmin advert...

[iwbus]

Any adverts for mobile ringtones (Jamster and 82228 take note) or the one for Marbles loans with the classic line "Good things come to those who wait, great things come to those 0845.... or log on to marbles.com". I'm sure that's not how the phrase USED to go?!?!

[airbolt]

Theres a whole new strata of tatty adverts on daytime tv. The one that makes my teeth itch is the one with the Blue Phone that wants to give you a loan. Or the one for the telephone company ( tele 2? ) where the chap watches his neighbour washing his car and gurns at the camera. Or the one where out of work actors run the 100 metres hurdles to prove thay can have a loan.

[airbolt]

Also the adverts for chatlines Call 0890 FUNTIME for friendship... and Maybe More ( wink wink ). The people on these adverts are all models and dont need chatlines! There is usually tiny lettering on screen to the effect " Calls are routed through Grand Caicos and will cost �5 per minute "!

[airbolt]

Finally - the one that really tempts me to brick the telly! I think its or a toothpaste or something. It starts with a self satisfied man with a Tony Blair Grin. He is identified as " A Company Director ". His story goes " and then i found that my gums hurt a bit when i brushed " . ARGH !!

[shady_jady]

ahh, all of these adverts really do suck! but i think its gotta be the injury lawyers 4u adverts. the ones where they're either in a court room or being tested with a lie detector. they are so so so bad! xx

[tracymort]

"will i get 100% of the compensation!" that really gets on my **** that advert! that all those norton/ocean finance ads.

[feelap]

The lombard direct ones with that phone.....[phone]! My god!

[peps]

Theres that one for contact lenses where that woman with the worst american accent working as a chef says "hey bright eyes you where contact lenses whats your secret" (very annoying)
