Current hates:
Peloton. F off and die, and take your American "you smashed it Peloton" etc BS with you.
That lunatic who keeps saying her mouth feels "stronger" whatever the f that means.

The soppy, sentimental nonsense that is the current batch of Lloyd's Bank adverts.
The rage brews whenever I hear them.

Christ, i'll never forget that they had what was described as an "advertising blitz" with that advert popping up at least 2-3 times every commercial break. Ofcom got bombarded with complaints about it as well.
you dream it someones done it

my favourite racist add

worst add maybe the brexit 350M ones ... maybe they'd be banned now.
Brexit: 10 Most Interesting Ads by the "Vote Leave" Campaign
Surely I can’t be the only one who wants to throw the TV out of the window when I accidentally come across the one for Haribo, with the two cops in the patrol car speaking in kids voices.
We record virtually everything that we deem to be worth watching, in order to whiz through the commercials, but occasionally I Channel surf, to see what’s on, and if that Haribo commercial appears, I can’t move on quick enough.
My wife has similar feelings about the BT ads with Sean Bean, she says, “I only have to see him, and I want to kiss him all over, he’s beautiful, but then he opens his mouth, with that appalling accent.”

Similar here. I left home in 1998 without a TV and got used to not having one.
When I was living at home though, the worst advert would have been Push Pops (early 90s). The slogan was something like "Don't push me, this is a Push Pop".
My favourite advert would have been the original Game Boy. It showed a montage of different places where you could play it, showing you could play it literally anywhere. It still lives on now as the Nintendo DS / Switch.
Funniest ad was definitely Tango. Was good while it lasted, until it got banned, because everyone in school was copying it

It was a pretty terrible advert. Good to see it hit them where it hurt.
Their products don't stand out from the rest, so it has been very easy to avoid Gillette stuff since.

Those phone line ones from the 90s. 0891272727 particularly did my head in, but I remember the number after 25 years, so...
Defintely a better class of client on Nordic track versus Peloton

Just a pity you can't addblock itv/all4/my5 players ... unless you pay for the premium options.

Thank you! "Bring that thunder". So utterly cringe. Its just so American and superficial. 3 models in a lovely spacious American house being far too peppy and spouting BS.

Went to school with Jo Guest (year below me), and later went raving with her sister.

Yeah that pretty much nails Peloton, ridiculously over-priced nonsense upsold to idiots.

This should also be a contender- Safestyle UK.
This advert made up around 10% of all tv advertising for a few years, by my reckoning.

Idris Elba’s constant Sky commercials are driving me nuts, I think that he’s a great actor, Luther was an exciting series, and his portrayal of Stringer Bell in “The Wire” was excellent.
We have a Sky subscription, just basic I guess, no sport or movies, not interested in sport, although I watched MLB on Channel 5 until they stopped showing it, and I don’t have the attention span for films, unless they’re classics like Casablanca, or Midnight Cowboy, but Elba’s ads are prompting me to pull the plug on Sky, won’t happen though, the enemy likes too much on Sky Atlantic.
