The one that's annoying me at the moment is the McDonalds one where the Mum and Dad and little girl are in Maccy D's, and the Mum lobs little girls's toy rabbit on the floor so that Dad bends down to retrieve it (Mum then nicks his chicken whatever it is.)

I really hate it when she says "help me out here Rob, just trying to be a parent."

It makes me want to slap her in the face with her Big Mac.

My long standing advert that I hate is still being screened, quite an old one, where the little boy is on the toilet, and the touch 'n' fresh has run out and he yells for his Mum. Why the advertisers feel that we need to see this kid sitting on the carsey, I don't know.

MillyM · 05/03/2007 19:18

GhostOfMumsnet · 05/03/2007 19:21

the halifax singing ones and the gastro porn ones for m&s

shonaspurtle · 05/03/2007 19:21

All the BUPA adverts. In fact pretty much all adverts which have been scripted with pauses/stumbles/cuts etc to sound like they're interviews with "real" people.

themoon66 · 05/03/2007 19:22

That Picture loans thing (odd bloody name for a loans company for one thing). 'Josh, dad's found yer scooootah.'

Emskilou · 05/03/2007 19:23

The "Have you had a accident at work or on the road............"

ImaWurzel · 05/03/2007 19:23

For Emskilou.

HI BARRY SCOTT HERE! BANG AND THE DIRT IS GONE!

I hate that one too!

Plenty of others too, cant remember them all.

GhostOfMumsnet · 05/03/2007 19:24

oOooooo i forgot about any advert that encourages people to make claims against anyone and everyone just for being alive. i bloody hate this blame culture we're now in

PersonalClown · 05/03/2007 19:26

Im with you GhostOM especially the injury lawyers 4U one. I want to punch her!!

IntergalacticWalrus · 05/03/2007 19:27

"I say, yer buy one, yer get one free."

Safestle UK windows or whatever they are called.

That AD makes my blood pressure rise dramtically, epscially the ones featuring Cannon and Ball

Emskilou · 05/03/2007 19:27

Lol imawurzel, that little turd Barry does annoy me, almost tempted to say 'Bang and Barry is gone' , who lets their toilets get that filthy anyway???

nicnaksmum · 05/03/2007 19:29

Agree with sheilas wheels

DFS adverts too

Housemum · 05/03/2007 19:30

Capital One (what's in YOUR wallet)

Mint (stupid sneezing man, stupid naked man)

Whensa youra Dolmio Day

Anything with a stupid jingle eg "They're Gonna Taste Great" Frosties ad (oh no, it's going round my head already)

ImaWurzel · 05/03/2007 19:31

Disgusting aren't they! Why does he have to shout all the blardy time!? As if anything gets that clean thet quick, especially if they are as dirty as that toilet!!
cannon and ball are on safestyle windows now! Annoying.

skirmish · 05/03/2007 19:32

the new trident ads...awful!

IntergalacticWalrus · 05/03/2007 19:32

Also used to hate those Vagisil ads, with the bad dubbing and the whole "you can't live your life becuase you've got a riffy fanjo" attitude

Housemum · 05/03/2007 19:32

The ones with the bloke who used to be the supermarket manager in Corrie. Reg Holdsworth. Can't even remember what he advertises - I think it's windows, maybe he fills in when Cannon and Ball aren't around.

saltire · 05/03/2007 19:34

Sheila's wheels definately. Especially since MIL2 is called Sheila and she goes on and on about it whenever it's on.
Also the challenge Churchill one - where he's supposed to be going round Britain getting people to challenge him. Well I've never heard a Scots, Welsh or Irish accent on it yet, so it's false advertising isn't it?
And Barbie and her pooing dog.
And Howard from the Halifax/Bank of Scotland
