Completely cringeworthy!

Perhaps the advert is trying to tell us 'Pepsi Max makes you infantile'

Speaking of cringworthy.

The Natwest advert, where they show how helpful and friendly the staff are.

They're are taking so much interest in their customers lives. Give a break!

AKA the thread where people with low thresholds of tolerance whine and moan in a tedious manner about every advert under the sun, no matter how average, unremarkable and innocuous.

Oh, and Poo at Paul's will be mentioned without fail on every page.

And people with no sense of humour will whinge for no good reason.

Not technically an advert, but The Bill promo with Andrew Lancel falling off his chair (why the sparks?)

Vanish - Kids dressing up and getting lipstick om mummy's favorite blouse

Barclaycard waterslide ad (surely a card without chip n pin isn't safe)

Surely the worst advert at the moment is that dreadful "hello you" one for Diet Coke. It's all "look at us, we're so young and crazy" and the whole "hello you" thing just makes me want to puke because it's sooo cheesy. Drives me completely mental.

On the same note, that advert for the "new fast fast phone" gets on my nerves, with its loudness and insistence on impatience.

You know how I have a "fast" acting phone? I don't have one that is also a computer and NASA flight controller, all at once. Seems to work fine

I have the best mobile-phone that there is, a Nokia 5110, it does absolutely every-thing that one could want from a phone, it makes and receives phone calls, and it must be good, I've had it for about 16 years and it's still working fine

It also sends and receives text messages, plays Memory, Logic and Snake, saves contacts, has various ringtones, has a clock, has a calculator AND Interchangable covers.

yeah but I don't play games on my phone at home, why should I want to on my mobile phone, it's a PHONE, only need one ring-tone, have a pocket-watch, learned to do sums at school, only need one cover and I TALK to people rather than text, that way people KNOW what I mean, text can be miss-understood, 20 text back and forth later, one STILL needs to TALK to get it right

The sudden bunch of gold selling adverts that cropped up overnight, they're like Crazy Frog the amount of time they're played.

Not an ad but the promo on channel 4 for the new Derren Brown show is freaking me out every time I watch it. Horrible.

Oh and the poo at paul's ad.

The aviva advert with the man with a strong Bristolian accent. Very irritating!

Go Compare is really annoying, but if you ever want to compare insurance prices you'll know where to look!
