I know what ad I hate.  The Argos one with the child making a wish and the dad climbing up some star mountain to get to Argos.  It's so crass and commercial.  I just feel really turned off everytime I see it.  It's a freaking catalogue store trying to sell you something.  Not a spiritual experience.

Yes!  Starts out as a fairytale "a boy who had a wish..." and his daddy went to Argos to buy sh*t to make his wish come true.  wow.

Does it seem like one of the loooooooooooooooongest ads as well?

Ooh, I hate that one too!  >:(
When I am grown-up I will understand how BEAUTIFUL it feels to administrate my life effectively.

Until then I will continue to TORCH all correspondence that bores me and to dance NAKED over the remnants of its still glowing embers.

I don't watch a lot of telly, but watched a bit this weekend and was getting very sick of those Iceland holiday adverts with Kerry Katona.

I do listen to a lot of radio, however, and there is a Virgin holiday advert with this annoying little girl that I cannot stand! So I won't be listening to that station until after the holidays.

YES! Me too! God, she is so irritating!!!


Also, the old ASDA slapping-the-bum-ching-ching commercials are totally annoying. I find pretty much everything about ASDA annoying though.  ::)

God yes. She is so unbelievably annoying.

And they had those stupid jungle ones that went before and after I'm a Celebrity. I just want to hit her with one of those frozen turkeys.

I don't exactly hate those Boots commercials about looking your best for Christmas, I just hate that music.  It haunts me at night.  Plus the lady in the tub peeling the sprouts???  I need something more realistic for me.

Two more that I love...

The anti-viral kleenex commercial with the Buddhist monk in it, and the new Irn-Bru commercial featuring 'The Snowman' and the little boy who wouldn't share his Irn-Bru!

Love the Persil advert where the wee girl tap dances with a penguin.  She's so cute.  :)

Hate the M&S advert with all the models cruising along on snowmobiles and Shirley Bassey singing 'Get This Party Started'.  >:(

Chalk it up to my wierd sense of humor, but the Clover butter commercial sort of cracks me up. I also enjoy the Guinness commercials, such as the one with the little guy in the fridge serving a beer.  :P

The commercials with Kerry Katona are somewhat irritating. lol  ::)

'You're Gorgeous', featuring all those really ugly, drooling alpacas with brown teeth!  Brilliant advert!  :)
