For me it is "We buy any car" I could really smack him.
I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus

What competition is this then ??

I rarely watch TV so only have to put up with occasional radio adverts which i can usually just ignore - except there are some with annoying false american accents (just why?!!!) and there is another one with an annoying screechy womans voice - no idea what they are for though!3

No idea what it’s for as I hit the sound when it comes on, but there’s one with lots of annoying people going ooooooohhhhh for no obvious reason.Closely followed by daisy, daisy daisy daisy. How do I keep my mouth healthy. And “let’s go, Peloton.”
In fact now I think about it, pretty much all of them.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.7 -
Advertising companies do appear to have changed tack, as annoying as all adverts seem to be now, the more annoying they are the more likely you are to remember them. Brand recognition by annoyance, the most recent for me being the ones with that couple that used to do daytime TV, I can't recall their names but they now seem to be capturing the aged products market.3

Anything with miming, I don't know why but it really irritates me.

Heineken adverts from 2001 were annoying and brilliant

As with most things these days, when it comes to tv, radio and other media, I much prefer the older stuff than their modern counterparts.
I remember the orange phone advert-'the future is orange'. I didn't know what they were talking about. and the same applies today, a lot of the adverts I don't actually know what it is they are advertising.2 -
Go Compare and We buy any car annoy me. Don't like any ads really, but on ITV3 they have a lot of JML adverts selling strange stuff. Makes me think of the cartoon Road Runner when Wile E. Coyote bought stuff from ACME....4

Re "We buy any car", they should be done under the trade's description act, because they don't. They wouldn't give me anything for my car...
My most annoying advert is for Pure Cremation. Not so much for the content, but just for the number of times they show it. I mean, yes, it's probably a good idea to prepare for the inevitable, but I don't want to be nagged about it every day - pretty much!
Blu XXXI am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apology
THIS IS ME!
When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.5
