Now that's so disgusting i nearly threw the remote at the telly. Uuurgh yack, what an image to set for the kids it's just saying - 'yeah go on talk with your mouth full we all want to see your half chewed food and as you continue to talk we get sprayed with all the bits of slaver covered food'

now they're so bad they're funny. best qoute was when some girl said 'i was asleep in the back of the car and when i woke i discovered we'd had a crash i got £xxxx for whiplash'

Don't be so damned stupid, what do they say it's babies and drunks who fall and don't hurt themselves - WHY? because their muscles are relaxed so if you were asleep surely your muscles would be relaxed and therefore how the hell do you get whiplash AAaaargh RANT

Am I glad I am out of the UK now. The adverts were getting on my nerves as well. They seem to come in groups.....9:00 to 12:00 - accident claims and loans, 12:00 to 18:00 - loans and car insurance, 18:00 to 00:00 - holidays and kids toys, 00:00 to 9:00 - chat lines.

We have adverts here as well but they are in a foreign language so I don't understand them, which makes it slightly better.

Apparently the most complained about advert of all time! How typically British!

I hate the advert for the marsbar thingy where she is sat on a sofa eating the thing and someone comes past and nicks the other half of it, simply because she eats with her mouth open *runs to vomit* yuck yuck yuck.
The esure adverts are pretty dire, even with the mouse they have now.

I should take them to trading standards............. ummmm now that's an idea

You'd loose.

The term Hamburger is a corruption of the word Homburg as worn by
gangsters (Think Untouchables).

The burger in a bun was likend to the shape of the hat and Homburg eventually became "hamburger"

Simple guys - only watch BBC 1, 2, 3 & 4 and listen to Radio 4 (or 3 if you absolutely have to listen to something thing else). All commercial radio and TV is uber-gash, with very few exceptions

I haven't read all the other nominations so apologies if this has already made.

The Boddingtons adverts really wind me up. They closed their Manchester brewery and moved to where they could do it cheaper but they still fill their ads with Happy Mondays music as if to say how proud they are of their Manc heritage.

Tastes like rat pee as well.

How do you know what rat pee tastes like?
