A broad question I know but which one gets your goat? For me at present it's the Burger King ad - why doesn't the guy just go to a decent restaurant? I think this must be one of those 'negative psychology' ads: deliberately naff to get under your skin.
For a group category I'd probably go for the 'debt buster' ads - yuk.

Anything by McDonalds. The Confused.com advert with that bloke making extreme gestures and feigning extreme frustration 'sooooo many choices' (cf Barry Scott on Cillit Bang - he just makes me laugh and I do a nifty impression of him). Burger King's irritating - it implies you can't be a real man unless you're a big eater. Tescos adverts with their patronising voice-overs, Jamie Oliver's pretend mates on Sainsburys - well, if they're his real mates, it's still nepotistic Jobs for the Boys. Coca-cola's sicko-fest of schmalzy Christmas adverts due soon and the aforementioned BT advert where the bratty kid gives a snotty look whilst spilling all her toys on the floor while the mother does nothing but smile and walk off rather than chastise the little bastard. Oh yes Sheila's Wheels, If 'women make the safest drivers' (which I agree) how come the driver's looking back, leaning on the seat when going at a fair speed, mucking about without her hands on the wheel or allowing an underage, uninsured, unlicensed kangeroo to drive?

Any ADD that comes on during a good film Like CH4 and the sponsors STELLER why all ways put them on at the good bits so when the film returns you have lost the plot because you have been pondering about a lone. Or thinking about claiming compensation because the blind bat next Door ran in to you as she backed off the drive

I used to hate the (UK) ads with Michael Winner in - punchline "Calm down it's only a commercial"...then people started using this as a kind of catch phrase - the horror the horror! Nowadays the ads asking some insurance co to "Quote me happy" are pretty dire - and of course all the terrible singing Halifax ads!! DELETE DELETE DELETE!!!

The TellusMore.com commercials where 3 people are saying it at once, it is so annoying that it grates my ears.
Or that one Burger King commercial where a guy was eating a spicy burger and he breathes out fire, that commercial was annoying.
The Geico commercials with the actors can get on my nerves at times cause what dissapoints me is that we don't get to see how they react.

That wiggle when you jiggle jello ad with the kid and cow dancing like retards with that boinging annoying music.
Also, I have to mention the spot carpet cleaner commercial that has the woman at the party spilling and the other woman shows her the carpet spot cleaner. It's got three words it repeats as the directions.. something, something, and GROOM. I can't remember the first two words, but the woman and her husband leave the party chanting the three words as if they are going to try them in bed that night.

Top of my list is those cheap tacky "No win No Fee!" - Load a crap if you ask me, oh and your right those debt buster adds are so distasteful... The funny thing is, I hate the sheilas wheels ad but at the same time I just have to sing along to it!!!

Personally, I can't stand the adverts for 'Elephant.co.uk' where the guy screams at the top of his lungs and then has the cheek to ask 'DOES SEARCHING FOR CAR INSURANCE DRIVE YOU CRAZY?'. No mate, but you screaming down my earhole makes me want to pull out a gun and put you out of your misery! have you ever noticed how they always turn the sound up for the adverts on tv channels? For some reason it always seems to be the first ad after a really quiet spell.

Head on apply directly to the forehead. Even the new ones where they start out with the original advertisement. Then the new one where they start with the original then stop it and some grump comes out to say they hate the advertisement but just LOVE there product. OH BROTHER!
