There are some advertising agencies that simply must be encased in concrete and thrown into the Larenchian Abyss. I know their job is to get the product noticed but personally if an advert annoys me enough, on those grounds alone I won't touch the product.

My current pet hates are:

Go Compare
We buy any car
Anything featuring Kerry 'should be locked in an Asylum' Katona.

How about you????

They are very annoying, but they are doing exactly what they intended to do.
Everyone is talking about them.

Although for me the most annoying one is this one.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dxr56OqoeE

Yes I know it's my ad, but I have got to get the momentum building.

Also, the tag line "if it's out there it's on, cheekyoffer.com" This make a really good tune if you sing it out loud.
...lol ^^ ^^

I'm not normally given to violet fantasies but if ... just if .... I found myself in the same office as that woman with the bobbly head and I happened to have an axe, I would most certainly take a swing at her neck ...

... and hope the axe was blunt so I could do it several times

The isa isa baby ad is my fav at the minute. I love the way she turns her head towards him singing isa isa baby, stares at him and then slowly nods her head side to side and up and down like a clucking chicken. 

Fantastic IMO

I've never seen a chicken do that, they are far more dignified!

Most adverts annoy me - but yes anything halifax just now needs muted

As for favourite - the Cadbury advert with the gorilla is my advert of the century - Brill music and totally out of the box marketing strategy.
