Annoying adverts

We often record programmes simply to be able to buzz through the ads when we watch them.

And as to Classic FM which I applaud for having spread the word about the joy of "classical" music - I get most irritated by their ads and feel they should vet them more closely. You might just have been transported by a piece of Mozart when a crass jingle-ridden advert will come crashing in. I cannot see why they do not specify some parameters for the presentation of the ads - they have such a huge following that they have the clout to call the tune.

You buy one, and you get one free, I say YOU BUY ONE AND YOU GET ONE FREE! You must have seen that shouty ad?
Any smug young families buying a sofa at DFS ads.
Any perfume ads, the Chanel are the worst, but they are all bad.
Ferrero Rocher ads.
The sickly Werther ad.

I try not to watch adverts if I can help it I'd rather 'mute' the tv than watch all the rubbish they show.

The Sky Broadband adverts are so stupid and irritating.

They are the ones where for instance one farmer says to another 'have you put on the horses shoes?' And then the camera pans down to the farmer's feet and he has the horses shoes on. They do some similar silly ones with a doctor and patient.

What adverts annoy you ?
