There's one on at the moment which I assume is a local one, for some Market, with some woman who used to be in Corrie. Problem is, she's obviously in front of a greenscreen talking to the other people, so it just looks ridiculous.

Oh, and then there's the infamous "It's gonna taste great!" ad

I totally agree with Rob on this one, I hate that advert with a passion! Instead of just turning off the sound I even turn the channel over.

On the other side though I absolutely love the Natural Confectionary one - Bring on the trumpets!!!

Who here remembers Picture Loans?

One of the adverts is basically there is a smug bloke in his plush house, on the phone and his wife is filming him on the camcorder. He's tossing the football up and down making out he's all pally with the bloke from the loan company.

He puts the phone to one side and says to his wife, "How much do we want love?" "Oh yeah, £25 grand?"

If you've got to borrow £25,000 - you know you've got to borrow £25,000 right?! At the end of it, he says, "So nice speaking to those people at Picture Loan, there so friendly"

You're borrowing £25,000 - of course they are going to be flipping friendly!!!

Yeah, when did Mr Muscle become so, er, muscular? For me they have ruined the irony of the old adverts with classic weedy Mr Muscle!

Exactly what I was thinking! And why turn him animated?! Maybe the creepy kids off've the hair dye add have the original mr muscle in their basement?

According to them they only have 2 sales on a year...each lasting 6 months then i think

DFS advert have got to be some of the worst. The one where they were dancing to Rockstar is the most cringy advert ever.

I also have managed to find that really creepy advert with the two girls who want their father to find a partner
