Haven't seen this asked in a while.
I usually fast forward all the ads so miss most of them, but sometimes manage to catch a few. Current one I can't stand are any of the Rivers ad - awful clothes, terrible music. Well, actually some of the basic t's look ok, but the ad just puts me off.
What's yours?

Stressed....Whose Stressed...Who Said That!
I hate the one where the guy is throwing up in the toilet, and the little girl is asking her daddy if he is alright....he has been drinking I think...

I just mute the ad till its over.

The Veet ad. It's so obvious the Aussie accent has been dubbed to the original ad and don't match the girls. It's embarrassing to watch.

The Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh liance Insurance ad.

Aaaahum Health Insurance.

Caaaaaassssshhhh Trrrrraaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn.

Pretty much any of the funeral/life insurance ads that seem to run constantly these days.

Hmmm I obviously have a thing against insurance companies.

And Haaaaloooo I'm Frank Walker from National Tiles on the radio. He definitely shouldn't be doing his own ads.

Oh, and the carpet ad where she's dancing around. For some reason that really annoys me.

All of the above

I'll add the Karicare one with babies laughing - I love baby laughs but these sounds really weird. DH reckons they are adults doing baby laughs. I think they have altered real baby laughs to make them sound "cuter" . Either we we both can't stand the ad!
