Beatboxing Bing Crosby.  Love. 

I also like the one that's a retelling of Cinderella...for some sort of cosmetic something (hair straightener?).  Anyway, I like it. 

The "Genius Bread" ad with the Albert Einstein look alike creeps me out. I really don't know why...

Because it's creepy!  The Einstein mask makes the guy's head look way too big, there's no expression on the face, and the voice has a British accent!  I mean, come on!   
On s'envolera du même quai
Les yeux dans les mêmes reflets,
Pour cette vie et celle d'après
Tu seras mon unique projet.

Je t'aimais, je t'aime, et je t'aimerai.

His head does looks ginormous for his body! I think you are right, that paired with the look on his face and the way he moans "Mmmm" just gives me the heebie jeebies.

probably said already, but I hate the confused.com ads with a passion.  They're just so cheerful about how ignorant they are.

I don't watch too much telly nowadays, I have some news channels on and on the advert breaks they do put on some highly annoying adverts!

The 'Have you been sold Payment Protection insurance in the last 5 years' ..
the stupid and now annoying 'churchill insurance ads'...
the rosetta stone advert..

and the now even more annoying 'go compare' adverts!

Cheers, DtM! West London & Slough UK!

Midterm election campaign ads!!!  They're all slinging mud at each other.  First you get an ad about how the opponent is a liar, crook, idiot, etc. etc. And that's followed by the opponent calling the first guy a liar, crook, idiot!!  And they always manage to find the most unflattering photos of their opponent which make them look like a liar, crook, idiot!  I'll be so glad when the election is over next week.

I havent read all 51 pages so  I don't know if anyone has mentioned this ( I'm sure someone must have ) 

but "Go Compare" with the fake opera singer?.. that sends both Mrs. and I scrambling for the remote trying to change channel before he comes out of the closet, or wherevah.


Same here.

But now you've planted an earworm....ack

The "Genius Bread" ad with the Albert Einstein look alike creeps me out. I really don't know why...it just does.

And they make him sound like Homer Simpson.

I'd never buy it, just because of the advert.

Hate the Halifax Isa Isa Baby commercial!  >:(

(that song was complete crap when it first came out - whatever possessed them to make a commercial out of it?!)

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in...
