    The money supermarket ads with the "builders" & guys in hotpants and high heels is quite disturbing

    Any add that claim their product is "two times faster" rather than twice as fast.

    The Flash ad. They've mangled the Flash Gordon theme in the most horrific way.

    The one with the kittens coming out of the bags of chocolates that a group of women are eating. Can't remember who it's for again. Either way I don't get it.

    I will probably grow to hate it, but at the moment I love the wee daniel ad for registered gas installers.

    There's one at the moment for the LOTTO featuring a horrible dancing and gyrating little green monster/genie that looks like something from another advertisement shown last year.

    I cannot bear to watch it.

    I'm a pro! and my mind needs to be on the music,
    That's why I wear tampax and play pippidy pop crappy happy-hardcore to my adoring fans,
    Cheapest crappiest edm piece of trash playin in the background.

    Actually the advert just reminds me of all that cheap crap that's been pushed out the last few years,
    You know it when you hear it, at least if you can distinguish decent music from crappy music.

    dee..dee. dee. dee. dee. dee. dee. dee .dee.dee.. saw.. dee ..dee. de.. saw

    New one for me and its a bit specific because the ad is not that bad but I just hate rebranded old ideas.

    I give you the really old idea that backpackers and campers have been using for years pots with removable handles - tefal ingenio

    Anyone who has a trangia camping stove set will know what I mean.

    The Aldi rugby ad. I don't want to get kicked off this thing so I'll leave it at that. You can deduce what you want from that.

    A standard bug bearer for me is the "aren't women deadly, aren't men dopes or scumbags ones"

    Always Ultra 1: the goalkeeper. "Just because I'm a woman does that mean I'm going to mess up?" Emmmmm no!

    Always Ultra 2: with that posh kid that says "don't you deeeh (dare)"

    Maltesers: the one where the girl break up with the guy and tells him to go live with his Mum (her words), then flicks the Malteser. Heinous, worst of the lot!

    Apache Pizza: Like a rushed ad designed as part of one of the tasks in The Apprentice. Terrible.

    The "you're doing great Mums". I don't know who that insults more.

    I'm sure there are others.

    The Apache Pizza song writers do just about enough to avoid copyright infringement of "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor, didnt think it was possible to make that song even worse

    That Aldi television commercial which was repeated endlessly showing two proud mothers outdoing each other in boasting about their children's non-existent 'achievements'. Stupid, boring, repetitive, pointless, unconvincing. How much money was wasted on it?
