Everyone has certain adverts that wind them up or dislike.

Do not like that singing fool on the Gocompare adverts and also the Churchill and Direct Line adverts bore me senseless.

I know the idea is to get people to remember the product blah blah, but taking that aside, what ones dont you like?

All of the legalised Loan Shark ones. Yeah, borrow a few quid for a few days, no hassle. But for the love of GOD don't fail to repay, as the APR is in excess of 2000%!!! Shouldn't be allowed.

F*ck off. You patronising w*nk*rs. And your science is rubbish and made up anyway.

There are plenty of adverts that get on my nerves GoCompare, WeBuyAnyCar.com etc. but I think the ones that annoy me most are the "your life is not complete unless you buy our products" Apple adverts.

Has anyone read the small print that scrolls across the bottom of the screen while that "I SAID YOU BUY ONE YOU GET ONE FREE" F*ckt*rd tries to distract you from reading it?

GoCompare has to be my all time most irritating ad. In fact, most people I know are actually turned off of the product.... just because of that fat singing buffoon!

"Have you ever been injured in an accident that wasn't your fault?" - Fronted by people like that bloke who had a minor part on the bill about 20 years ago and Andrew Castle!

These and that advert where several celebrities try to persuade you to stay in the UK for your holidays this year (not that I have much in the way of a choice anyway).

Yes, I always pause on the smallprint of those loans adverts, just so that it's a fully informed fury I go into. In fact, I have sat there reading and explaining the truth of the matter to my 10 year old son, explaining just how much £100 borrowed would be owed a year later. Important lesson that I hope he learns the easy way.

Many ads irritate the crap out of me, but the one that grinds my gears at the moment is Confused.com

That one is INCREDIBLY patronising. Yes, Mr Fry, because there is NO way you are popping over to Southern France this summer at all, is there?
