The T-Mobile one where they get a load of douchebags to play some awesome jazzy music down someone's goddam phone.

"How did it sound?" *smiles*
"****** crap love, you're playing full volume music through a tiny speaker. It sounds like I have a herd of bees in my ear."
 
I cant believe no one had said one of the most loathsome adverts on tv.
Carspotter. Has the really really really bad actors, most annoyingly the women.
"oooohh i want it, I want it, its the right colour, can i have ittttttt. But how much is it worth".


Arggghghghg
 
Dell. "Lollipop lollipop, oh la la lollipop...."

That new Renault one. A company that has made some of the most fun hot hatches and operates its own race series trying to guilt people about owning a petrol car.

I also find the voice of the guy who does the sky sports adverts really irritating. Probably comes from my hatred of football though.
 
How long until adverts are on a scroll bar across the bottom of the screen. With so many of us fast fowarding through them with PVR, at some point the advertisers will cotton on and pay less or demand an alternative means.
 
All of them, it's why PVRs were invented. Apart from news and music channels I don't watch live TV anymore. As for radio ads, it why CD players and iPod car docks were invented.

Old Bollywood films in a video tape used to do this. I have memories of watching old movies and then e.g. a cotton store's name and address would run across the bottom.

As a kind of related thing, internet advertisers are already worried since we're all using ad/banner blockers which are now very effective.

I've not seen one on e.g. Sky Sports, The Times, Hotmail for well over a year now. It's shaking the model of an ad driven free service.
 
As has been said several times...

All of them.

The absolute worst offenders have been highlighted already - but I would like to underline the awesomely awful irritating "go compare" thing. I usually manage to turn to another channel within 0.3 sec of seeing the moustache :)

I would like to add another category not mentioned yet - those awful. conceited, pseudo-sophisticated, pretentious perfume and cosmetics adverts. Especially those containing self-obsessed american actresses who think they are worth it.

I would just like to add that there was one ad I can think of that I quite enjoyed - no idea what is was for - had lots of pretty girls, beach scenes, sun, catchy song and a lighthouse in it.
 
From a few years back, that maniac shouting:

'You buy one, you get one free, I said you buy one you get one free...'(Safestyle?)

and even further back.

'Oh, don't you pay any more, Mrs Moore, oh Mrs Moore please don't pay any more...' (Rumbelows?)
