Adverts you just can't stand

Those radio ads where the terms and conditions are gabbled out at the end and they take twice as long as the main bit.

The ones that say "Now for the boring bit..." before gabbling out the T's & C's wind me up.

The whole reason these companys are legally obliged to have to cram the boring bit in is because of the amount of false advertising, dishonest claims, loophole searching and blatant fraud that litters their entire history. It's shameless.
 
Most Paddy Power ads, totally unfunny and annoying after the first ten thousand times they've been on - that mock 'oh isnt it hilarious' voice over commentary just gets my back up.
 

All those terribly sad charity adverts for children in Africa.Call me a cynic but odd they never mention which country the children come from,because then we might find that they are from mineral rich countries that are being pillaged by the multinationals who lobby western governments to keep the said countries corrupt puppet leaders in power,who also syphon the countries money to off-shore banks in readiness for their Swiss retirement.

When the fun stops stop. I wonder who's got the record for gabbling that one quickest?
 

I was only a kid at the time but those 'if you see Sid tell him' adverts when British Gas was being sold off by Thatcher's Government in the mid-80s really did irritate me enormously.

There seemed to be a new one every week at the time and I don't think bloody Sid ever did appear!
 
All of them!
The whole marketing and advertising industry can do one.
No one’s going to manipulate me into buying their product/service. I’ll make my own mind up thank you very much!
