    I hate a specific Microsoft XBox 360 advert... The one where she is watching a Movie via the Xbox on her TV. Her expression is like she has been lobotomised and then the camera swings round to show you her brain has been removed to install a cinema!!

    It makes me cringe. Horrible, just horrible!!

    I Hate most ads, Like others have said any that have compensation confused.com, comparethemarket.com.

    I loved the advert where they play music with real car parts, its very creative!

    Um love more than! When the guy goes "Yea right down to your socks, sock it to me" Makes me laugh and made me want to get more than insurance lol

    No offense but i hate the RSPCA one. I have a different view on that issue but wont go into it, because i know it will offend someone on the forum.

    I love having an HD/DVD recorder which means I haven't seen an ad, other than by choice, for more than two years.

    Anyone noticed the new womens razor add..cant think off hand whats its called....but it shows women doing various things, like shopping, swimming etc, and every time they walk past a bush, it 'neatens' up. :eek:

    When my husband saw it, he almost inhaled his cup of tea, I had no idea at first what he was chocking about, quite subtle until you know what they are on about!!!:rotfl:

    I also like the 118 247, as my kids are into weebl and bob, also like the salmon fishfingers, always enjoyed the old tango ads.

    I love the Green Giant ad with the two little boys who wolf their sweet corn when the mum says 'You are what you eat.'

    I hate any ad which uses whispering. For some reason , an electronic whisper goes through me!

  • Great thread, I quite like the new Weetabix Oatabix advert, with the three chaps in the lorry...

    "Ooh my little pretty one, pretty one.
    When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?
    Ooh you make my motor run, my motor run.
    Gun it comin' off the line Sharona
    Never gonna stop, give it up.
    Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
    of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M my Sharona"

    ....sorry :p

    I hate most ads, simply because there is not an ad in the world good enough to be shown more than twice in an evening.
    I have not actually heard an ad for many years, not since I discovered what the mute control was for.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
