I agree, those are probably the worst on British TV at the moment.  Ironic, because another price-comparison firm has the very best: Compare The Meerkat.

I hate most ads on Hulu because they tend to play the same one over and over and over and over again.

The first one was awful, I would have to mute my t.v. when it came on.

The second one I actually like. I like the Old Spice guy.

I'm indifferent to the third.

As for me, I hate the majority of commercials. If you create a thread about ads I enjoy, I could post some. I just noticed I remember a bunch of them, but the ones I despise, I can't even remember enough to google them.

Why don't you start a thread? It's pefectly acceptable  ;D

I don't like it that adds are noisier than the normal program and I have to turn them down, particularly when wearing headphones.

There have been repeated complaints about this. I just mute the adds.

I definitely agree Tank. I'm sure they do amp the volume up during commercials and on the UK cable channels there are way too many commercial breaks.

I particularly hate ads that lie to you or try to twist statistics.

I don't mind funny ads. I too like the Old Spice guy.

I'm on a horse  ;D

Rogers commercials annoy the beejezus out of me. This one is probably the worst, but they are all HORRID.

"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

"It's my money and I need it now!"

No. No, it's not your money, and stop yelling or I'll call the police.
I want bad people to look forward to and celebrate the day I die, because if they don't, I'm not living up to my potential.

You're going to have to add some context around that  :)
