There seems to be more than the usual TV ad irritants at the moment. So who really sends you into a little bit of a rage
1. Confused.com - probably everyone in the ads, but especially the excited long haired guy. It's a car insurance price comparison site, not Narnia.
2. WKD WNKRS UP 2 HI JNX. KNTS.
3. Pepsi Max boys. One of them cheats his way into a job by pretending to get beaten up, then him and his mates celebrate by doing a "cool" dance in the street.
4. Little boy with another child's voice tells his mum her toilet stinks and he's going to dump in a friends house.
5. Davina McCall, her invisible mute mum and a discussion about hair colouring
6. Roger, Thierry and Tiger, trespass, assault you with balls and laugh at you because you don't use the same "shaving system" as them.
7. Someone/something I've forgotten.

To paraphrase Brewster's Millions:
All of the above. Actually, thinking about those all together has made me a bit angry.

Some thoughts...
1. The confused.com guy really wants to be Russell Brand soo much it's quite un-nerving.
2. Less wkd, more rshls
3. I'm guessing the ad men who won the contract used the same method to get their ad chosen
4. I wonder what people used to do the days before rooms had to be artificially scented, seriously, crack a window open!
5. Davina's mum doesn't exist, the voices are in her head
6. People should start throwing razors at these lot while they are playing sports, it's bullying!

having stopped watching television, for around 18 months, i only really get to see adverts at the cinema and at friend's, if they're watching tv, which is rare....
the only advert i have seen, which made an impact was; we buy any car dot com - but i found that rather amusing, in a bonkers...

The WKD men, because they're supposed to be acting like 'your great mates' when actually you'd walk on the other side of the street if they were coming towards you.
However, it's just as well the Frosties kid hasn't surfaced in a while.

Indeed.
The one where he takes the seat from one pub to another. What the hell is that supposed to say? Does it appeal to young men these days? Am I so out of touch that I just 'don't get it'?

I know it's not very current but can Barry Scott go on there, too? He must be one of the all-time winners in this category.

From the Trafalgar Square ad, the two I most hate are right at the end.
Firstly, it's the guy who starts clapping when he's singing 'give me a siiiiiiiign', and then there's some stupid cow punching the air as she sings 'hit me baby, one more time!'.
Both need a shoeing.

All of these are highly annoying but out of them all I still want to chuck several heavy things at the 'I need a poo' boy.
'I will poo at Paul's'...Well f**k off then, go s**t at Paul's, let his mum deal with it. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh it's just lazy advertising. Cuddly-wuddly mascots with funny voices have been a blight on us all for years - they've just started appearing in places beyond breakfast cereals now (note also the Fox's biscuits mafia panda and the deranged Vauxhall 'COME ON!' mini-monsters).

I'd say to include the Postal Gold guy, but he's not so much a tosser as some sort of terrifying, unblinking freak of nature. His eyes say that he knows where you live and that he will come and get you if you don't send your gold to him...

The boiled-eggs-stuffed-in-his-face guy on the Old Speckled Hen ad makes me gag a little.

That's an egg in each cheek and his tongue halfway to the floor.

No are.

The fuss Peugeot are making about this 'drive sexy' nonsense is annoying anyway, but that bit takes the biscuit right enough.

There's an ad for some healthy yogurt or something with a smug woman sat on a deck chair narrating like she's writing a postcard.
I assume that's what it's supposed to sound like anyway. It just grates on me for reasons I can't quite explain.

The GoCompare advert makes me want to hurt things.
If I ever learn to drive and am looking for car insurance, I will not use any price comparison website as a protest against their crappy, annoying adverts.

Too right. It wouldn't be half as annoying if the 'tenor' could actually hold a tune. I don't think he actually hits a single correct key.
