Any of those baby product ones where the voice over is supposedly the ankle-biter's thoughts, prattling on about how soft his skin is, and
<moron voice> "Hello, what have we here...?"<\end moron voice> etc.
Ditto the Andrex puppy.

An insult to nippers and labrador pups!
Got to agree with you about Esure too Porg - don't care how cheap they are they are not getting a penny from me!

I'll go with E-Sure, can you imagine booking an expensive holiday and he turns up on the next sun-bed. One can but hope he's only acting, although somehow I doubt it.
Shudder.

Isn't the bizarre thing about the e-sure ads that they don't insure anyone who is a member of equity?

I agree with you all about E-Sure and Talk Talk (although I'm trying not to watch any Big Brother, primarily because I don't want to watch that prick with a coach (all to himself?))

With having digital TV, there are endless loan adverts and credit card adverts. They really really get on my goat when I'm trying to groove along to MTV2 or VH2.

Don't think I've seen that one, but the Guinness ads are normally worth watching.

Most irritating for me are the anti-smoking ads, I appreciate its an important message but I have to press over.....maybe I should just give up

Either the finance companies - sort all your problems out with one mega loan etc. (Ocean Finance) - or the "Claims Direct " accident chasers.

Mainly on satellite I think and my justification for channel hopping during the ad breaks.

Yes but all the ads are on at the same time, so you switch over to find exactly the same ads time for a me thinks.
