1. Go compare (You know why)
2. boots (that song does my head in)
3. Iceland (its the stupid singing and dancing)
4. that japanese style radox advert (hooky hook, hooky hook WHAT THE F**K?!)
5. all other cosmetics adverts (I'll give you 3 guesses)
6. all adverts that are on all the time (some of these such as that Nissan advert that sings "twinkle twinkle little star" are well done and pretty good but ae ruined by the fact that they are always on)
but I have to say that there are some good adverts, I love the current T-mobile advert where they were mucking about in heathrow airport, and the liverpool street dance off. one thing that confused me is why so many people hate the compare the market ones, they are brilliant (simples).

On the subject of good ads Specsavers had to be tops with the logger felling power poles and the shepherd shearing his dog.
Purely the fact they have completely over milked it all and they seem to be on alot.
All the fragrance ads are starting to do my head in, all arty and poncy and what is with this trend of the actors speaking in a french accent when we know full well they ain't french! roll:
Talking about good adverts, the berroca one -

I love and I don't know why!
Anything that ruins the mood of the programme/film that you're watching. Especially programme sponsorship. Eg, you're watching something on Film 4, and it reaches a really good bit of the film and that awful Little Red Riding Hood thing comes on. I can understand partly, but why spoil the film for everyone?

That really annoys me, because the one time I did go to Specsavers, they got my prescription wrong and gave me blinding headaches for a month. I was tempted to sue.

Go Compare (Mute button just doesn't do it)
Sheila's Wheels
Iceland (That damned music and dancing. And before that it was Kerry Katona wasnt it? Could it get any worse)
Go Compare (Where's that 'blow up this guy' button)
Nintendo DS (Nothing against the console or previous adverts. Just that one with Jedward in it. No wait let me re-phrase the whole thing. Anything with Jedward in it)

Will admit to only liking the one they had with the female footballer in it, even if it was a badly-dubbed Norwegian woman doing it...
Still nice NTL

Adverts I like:
We Buy Any Car - the proper adverts
Old Spice - made me laugh for ages the first time I saw it
Skoda Fabia - the original and the new evil one
And my favourite advert ever!!
And the one's I hate:
We Buy Any Car - the little sponsor bits on Dave
Go Compare - I'm not even hyper linking that one
Cow&Gate - the woman can't pronounce the word 'babies'
Iceland - even on the advert, the food still look disgusting!

I'm not sure whether we're talking about adverts we like or don't, but I quite like the one with the lad driving along in some car or other, singing Chesney Hawkes when his future father in law draws up.
I have to chuckle at the line "At least you've got a nice .... daughter"
He's quite easy on the eye as well.

It was adverts you hate but it seems to have evolved.
Ah well. There used to be loads of adverts I hated, but I tend to just look at the internet instead now. That said, building society ones tend to be quite annoying. Except for one in the mid nineties which had an EPB running over a road bridge in the background. I'll keep that one. May have been Nationwide ?

I HATE the BT adverts, they seem to think how broadband connection can somehow ease a frosty family atmosphere

It says something about their product when the best they can boast is about the range on the Router they supply
I had BT Try to sell me broadband - I told them how much I downloaded and they hung up on me. Apparently 10GB per day is a bit much (I do a lot of HD IPTV - BE Un Limited don't have a problem with that)

Anyone remember the rather long Penalli Pen Set advert!?
Came with way too many pens (and 99% of them seemed to be free add-ons) and came with pointless pens, Ladies Handbag pen!!? what makes that different to a normal pen!
And the indestructible pens and they can stab a can, who does that anyway???
The chequebook pen!? Is there a certain pen you need to write a pen with??
So annoying at the time but wouldn't mind watching it now to laugh at it, anyone found the advert online anywhere? I can't find one

Ok, so it's not a real advert, but it's still good

I rather like the Compaq adverts from the 80s with John Cleese in them as well;
