Only because it's on at the moment...

"I remember when I was five and I went to my favourite caramel shop.."

There's NO SUCH THING, especially n Yorkshire. Grrr......

    Just like calling Curry's a 'TV shop'? Not so criminal. Have some caramel... Smiley winking

    And Boy has always called runny toffee 'caramel'. What do you call it?

    Any that have pretend science in me drive me looney so tend not to watch many of them.

    And the doing an experiment just like Einstein, erm no she is cooking, so not entirely similar...

    That one that goes "chop chop chop chop chopping, dice dice dice dice dicing, shred shred shred shred shredding were cutting up a ranbow today. Healthy doesn't have to taste hummmmmdrum." It bugs the hell out of me.

    Einstein did about one experiment in his life. Everything else was thinking. So any advert that claims to be experimenting like Einstein is laughably far of the mark.

    The one with loads of kids and and over sized teddy bear running around a kitchen / dining table really freaks me out- I have no idea what it is advertising tho.

    On the other hand Yoda is on one with a woman doing a cross word on the train and it really makes me giggle- again I dunno what the ad is for!!

    If she had sat and looked at the ingredients whilst wearing the same clothes everyday and no socks that it would have been acceptable.

    I thought I was the only one to write and complain abotu adverts? I can't remember who it was for now but the 'family' are round the table whilst the eldest daughter is revising for her exams and she is asked a question about photosynthesis and the Dad reads the answer off the card and it is WRONG! But he is apprently giving her the right answer ARRRGGGHHH. The advert wasn't on tv long so I'm not sure if it jsut pushed a lot of other pedants over the edge as well.

    Agree with you on the "caramel shop" ad AC.

    I find ASDA's current Christmas ad very annoying along with those singing heads for Costa Coffee (in fact, I change channel - it's downright creepy).

    I think the top one is Ikea? Could be wrong, never seen it all the way though as H hates it and changes the channel the moment it comes on. No idea for the second one, unless it's perhaps vodaphone?

    Oh yes, that is sooo irritating!

    I hate the go compare ads, particularly now they are using the irritation factor as part of their current ad campaign!

    I get peed off with any dubbed advert, such as kinder egg, and those room frgrance ones.

    Haha, H LOVES this one! Whenever it is on he turns the volume up and sings along! When it first came out there was a really long version, when they cut it down and started showing the short version he was sad ?

    I have a few

    Go compare. No, go and DIE you annoying man

    Phones4u. just plain irritating

    But my worst, is those frigging yoghurt adverts. Most yoghurt adverts are irritating because the women sound like they are having sex with the *** things. But particularly the dubbed foreign ones where the women are saying how these yogs changed their lives and made them so beautiful. No love, photoshop did that.

    Oh I have loads. The ones that spring to mind are;

    Chanel with Kiera Knightly on a motorbike and Joss Stone singing - so full of smug

    Wowcher

    The whispery one, I think it's Secret Escapes ... argh, it makes me go nuts inside

    Compare the Market - I am the only person in the world not to go barmy for the damn meerkats. It was good when it first came out but enough is enough. Find something new.

    Confused.com - every single variation of this advert has been weird and/or ridiculous. Now it's just irritating as the song ALWAYS gets stuck in my head

    The number 1 song to guaranteed to be stuck in your head after even reading it is"Autoglass repair, Autoglass replace".

    I don't know if they still show it but there used to be a Ryvita advert where a group of women sat around eating Ryvita and talking about what they disliked about their bodies. It actually made me sad to be a woman.

    I hate that Brad Pitt perfume one.

    Bloody love the Ryan Reynolds Hogo Boss ones though.

    Hate that woman whispering about hotels.

    I HATE the one with the lady eating sushi... where she tries and tries and eventually just spears the sushi and looks up with a smug face and says "Wowcher". There is nothing 'wow' about being totally pathetically unable to eat food!

    I don't watch much TV - I can't say I know of half the adverts you've mentioned! Most adverts annoy me to be fair though - I can pick holes all of them - Apart from the JLP ones but I'm dissapointed again by this year's Christmas one. I have a heart of stone clearly, I just don't get it!

    I finally watched it the other day and I have to admit I don't really get it either. Last year's was so lovely but this year was just a bit 'meh'.
