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.

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.

No. No, it's not your money, and stop yelling or I'll call the police.

All those ads for beauty products which try to bamboozle people with pseudo-science.  "Now with caffeine, vitamin Q and γ-butyl hydroxilene."

Ads for hair peeling wax. They show a woman that already has no hair. Have me in the add two weeks after my last peel, and we'll see how good and painless your wax is!

All musical adverts, without exception, but these two are particularly grating:

If I were you I wouldn't bother with any new beauty products, the ones you are using are obviously doing a fabulous job.

I'm surprised no one listed the Headon spot yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_SwD7RveNE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_SwD7RveNE)

It's the only thing that's ever made me want to throw a brick thru my TV.

OMFSM! Why can't you do something good with the death penalty in America and get rid of the people responsible for that!

I believe that ad actually made money, and if you can turn a profit in this country you're golden no matter how annoying you also are.  As proof, those ads running back to back isn't just a YouTube loop -- they usually ran back to back and I once saw three of them in a row.  If I'd had a gun . . .

Ya' wanna' see a real creepy commercial - the kind that symbolizes the whole Real Estate crash?  See below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcTjhXSmnmc

I'd like to see everyone associated with that commercial, striped down, covered with peanut butter and locked them into a filthy porta-john packed with a dozen half-starved wolverines.

That would make me Happy.  :)
