Advantages: They put me off the products being flogged - which saves some cash

Disadvantages: Absolutely rubbish!

What is the point of getting annoyed by TV adverts? None whatsoever - but here I go with a little rant of some of the annoying ads gracing our TV screens at the moment

1.Posh Pringles - Arrgghh - Such bad acting - it is so staged, forced and false while pretending to catch people out and about. I especially love "look, the bag matches yours" How great - exactly what you are looking for in a crisp as I'm sure you will all agree!

2.Everest Windows - "I bet you didn't think Everest would be doing that today, did you?" Acually I don't spend my days considering the plans and strategies of double glazing firms - had never even heard of you before these stupid adverts!

3.The ridiculously long Bob Dylan Cooperative Bank ad - there isn't really anything wrong with it per se, and I quite liked it the first time, but I can't really be bothered to hear the whole of "blowing in the wind" every 15 minutes. And surely Bob doesn't need to be cashing in from adverts - I know Co-op are one of the least evil banks, but even so.

4.Glade Touch and Fresh - "I want to do a poo in Pauls bathroom". Does this make anyone want to buy this air freshener? - it's such a weird concept - and the dubbing is terrible - air freshener ads seem to particularly suffer from the curse of terrible dubbing for some reason.

5.Natwest - Free Impartial Advice - Are we supposed to believe that they have been selling us all these ill advised financial products for the last few years and bust the economy in the process, but now they are lovely friendly folk who want to give us free financial advice - yeah right! I think I'll leave it. (I do have a passionate hatred for Natwest so maybe the ads not that bad - I just want to moan about them, sorry)

6.Confused.com - The advert is supposedly 'user-generated' and mainly focuses on the friendliness of an insurance comparison website - I can't say that I really care how 'friendly' these kind of sites are - as long as I get a nice low quote without too much fuss I'm a happy bunny - but apparently some focus group somewhere thinks we need a friendly nudge to help us along. I love how one of the main benefits they can come up with is how the website "remembers you and your details!" - oh wow - Can't think of any other websites that can manage that little trick - it's magical. I do love the young guy when he says "the new confused.com website rocks" - who on earth came up with that, I bet they thought they were really down with the kids - but an insurance comparison website 'rocking' - give me a break!

7.Any DFS advert - no explanation necessary as I'm sure you'll all agree!

I'm sure there are plenty out there which are even worse - I'm just blocking them out of my mind to preserve my sanity at the moment!

Summary: Who comes up with this stuff??
