I can't stand any of them. I have a passionate hatred of television advertising, as it makes goods more expensive because the cost is always passed on to the consumer.
When the ad's are on, I either channel hop, or bring up the Sky menu to see what's on next. Strangely, I can nearly always time it to perfection when to go back to the station I was watching.
If I can't be bothered doing the above, I'll just hit the mute button.

That frickin Kellogs one, with that stupid kid who tells me in his stupid affected voice that I could too be on TV if I bake something with rice krispies!!!!!
If I had the chance I would fight him, and as he is about 10 and Im 31 I would probably win... that would learn him.....
He is also in the stock pot advert..... I hate him and his stupid face. I'll bake his coco pops alright...... bake em good!!

I can't stand the wii adverts with the whole family pretending to play musical instruments. They look like a bunch of plebs! 
FFS, get the kids some real lessons!

Sorry guys and girls, you seem to have all forgotten one set of adverts that are FAR FAR WORSE than any suggested already. I'm already with them and i'm tempted to leave because of these. I'll give you a clue...

While I have to agree with just about all the choices of annoying advertising here (that latest Iceland ad with the follically challenged Mr Donovan and Kerry Catastrophe is simply ghastly ), I hate with a passion all these 'green issue' driven campaigns.
These condescending ads say 'You're all really stupid, so we need to tell you where you're going wrong'. I know where I'd like to put my carbon footprint.
If they simply didn't dedicate the amount of wasted resources and effort that that focus on these ads alone, the polar ice caps' survival would be assured!
Oh, and I hate that realllly stupid T Mobile ad where people are constantly changing their top, and er, emerging as different people, finished off by the annoying little voice at the end which pipes 'I wanna talk'.

The "it's not easy being green" ad's from EDF are damned annoying
Eugh, and that Wii ad that chrispurvis100 mentioned is assault-the-television-worthy.
I try and use the Sky+ as much as poss to avoid having to watch any ads, think my fast forward button is wearing out, lol

Yeah, I hate the fat sow in the Iceland ads as well. My favourite add at the moment is the Haribo one. I just love the little girls patter when she comes in and her 'angry eyes'.

I remember the old days when the shows were better than the adverts.
Actually, I don't.
Maybe that's why we end up with tv shows that just play adverts people think are funny... Who came up with that idea? Money for nothing!

My initial reaction when I heard of HBOS's financial predicament was "Thank **** we'll never have to see that annoying ****tard on the tellybox again".

The new M&S one is annoying, where they make out there is this ideal christmas world where their selection of bints all live in a big house with Take That in glorious christmassy harmony. ( Except, theres 4 women, and only 3 straight men there, so someone is going to be out of luck ).
On a similar note, I get put off by any companies that have 'solutions' in their name, or use 4, 2 or U instead of the proper words.

You'll find that the NHS one about STDs is a bit of a passion killer when you're trying to get down to it
