Most adverts on the telly are really top class. Some of them are more entertaining than the programs, which is hardly surprising when you realise that some adverts are produced with larger budgets than most programs.

However, there are a few that are so awful that I cringe when they appear. I am thinking of those like the one for the Halifax. Its corrupted version of, 'We are Sailing,' has me reaching for the remote every time.

What is your nomination?

Name and shame your worst adverts, and the ones with the most nominations might even get the bullet!

The Halifax advert gets my vote by a mile! GET LOST HOWARD!

Maybe. But my son agrees with me. He is even switching his Halifax account. How's that for reaching new customers?

The "118 118" ads have got to be front runners for most annoying ad on tv. Every time it comes on I have to be restrained from killing the tv.

That f**king Norwich union with the liverpudian women

"Im 17, in my heart i always will be" - the tv runs serious thert of having the remote thrown at it when that apears on it

no no no - by farrr it has to be the "dont worry dear, its just a commercial" esure advert.
Mainly because hes an annoying [enter rude, but suitable word here], aand i really didn't want to see him dressed as a fairy, but also the fact that anyone who says 'dont worry' now just cant seem to resist adding the ending... which really makes me want to find the nearest sharp object and show them exactly where to stick their commercial quotes and give them something to worry about.
my god a tv is a dangerous thing
