There's a Tesco ad running at the moment where a fella makes a curry for his missus despite the fact he's been hiding from her all these years that he doesn't really like spicy food. I thought There you go, an advert that doesn't make one gender look stupid at the expense of the other, doesn't lie, doesn't make me want to vomit at its saccharine sweetness, and clearly it's increased their brand awareness despite the fact I often shop there anyway.
It's a sad indictment when you sit up and take notice at what used to be standard.
The one for the yoghurt or something where they act all shocked and fall over when they find out how many calories are in it.
As many others have said, the moneysupermarket ads.
The Creme Egg ad that is on at the moment. it reminds me of the fact that they have stopped making them with Dairy Milk. Spend the ad budget on making them properly again. You'll sell far more of them.
The gratuitous use of Queen songs in every other ad. A few months ago I saw an ad break with Queen songs in 3 different ads.
Muller. The ones where she always falls over or something and ends up with a blob of yogurt on her nose.
You can imagine how they spend hours getting that blob of yogurt just perfect. Heaven forbid they should just shove her fucking face in it.
"Subscribe to my awesome channel for more vids like these" i.e. other YTers videos I've nicked and re-upped as my own. Especially when they cover half the screen, pop up every 20 secs and are positioned so that you have to toggle in and out of fullscreen to do it.
I remember watching a Mexican boxing match in the early 90's and they had so many adverts on screen that you could barely see the fighters.
I don't watch that much TV as it's broadcast now so can't comment too much on the current crop but I remember loving some ads when I was a kid. There was genuine excitement in the playground the day after we first saw one ad 'invade' some others:
Bollocks...let the baby roll around in the shit for a while and strengthen its immune system rather than sterilising everything in comes into contact with. Annoys the fuck out of me for some reason.....
I seriously considered buying a Brian toy so that I could smash it up with a baseball bat for YouTube.

Why would P&O ferries use Joe Jackson's "Stepping Out"?
Theres an advert on the radio at the moment that has a door bell noise on it, exactly the same as mine. Very annoying. I know why they do it psychologically, it grabs your attention, but very annoying going to answer the door and theres no-one there. All the whilst missing the rest of the advert on the radio anyway.
Money Supermarket twerking - yep, very disturbing.
Flash ad with the dog using the Queen track - as someone else has said, one of the shittest adverts around.
Argos - That Oh, o-o-o-o-o-oh tune is getting very tired now.
Any perfume ad.
Betting ads as people have said - I like football but couldn't give a fuck about betting.
Radio ads:
Selco
Screwfix
Trade Point
Mustard Insurance
Basically, any ad geared towards white van man with a gruff cockney voiceover bloke.
Homebase, for their irritating, long in the tooth dabadobadabadobadaba music...
Yes,the builder geezer,wotcha mate,gor blimey,apples and pears Vindaloo,fuck my old boots,round me Nan's Cockney builder Tradepoint/Selco voiceover moron requires suitably torturing until he is "brown bread "
Its not BBC English and it's not Good News for Britain !
If Cream songs needed to be different, Cream would have done them differently. They don't, so they didn't. Whoever is responsible for this miserable cover version needs to be fetched one with a cricket bat round the head.
Why the fuck can't they keep the breaks the same length? I used to fast-forward through them - but sometimes there'd be one advert or a trailer, sometimes more. I'd end up rewinding after fast-forwarding into the show and it does me fucking head in!
Tada

Obviously you've got to change the lyrics, but it's the tune they use
