Ok we have your fav ones, but what about the ones you hate. My all time hated ad is the jaffa cake's one, with the awful woman with the stupid voice, cramming jaffa cakes down her neck in front of a class full of children, saying full moon, half moon. I come over all violent whenever I see it. Maggie

My husband absolutely hates the one that comes on for the internet after Most Haunted when the girl keeps jumping and shrieking "did you see that". He actually sits with his fingers in his ears and looks away from the telly. That cracks me up! Also he hates adverts for "womans things". I hate all car adverts that try to be clever Pam

The one for cheese strings, where a child tips his head well back and drops a cheese string down his throat - quickest way to choke to death, I bet. And what about his table manners??!!!

Having read and agreed with all of your comments,and added such intelligent remarks of my own as 'Yeh.thats awful' and 'Oh, Yeh,I hate that one' I have nothing to add. We have a lot of bad and often crass,insulting adverts;and why doesn't that Bl***y Halifax ship sail away and sink. The one that has me shouting at the TV like a banshi possessed,is that one that tells me what a great deal I'm getting if I save with them "An Amazing 5 percent interest" IT IS NOT AN AMAZING INTEREST IT IS A DISGUSTING INTEREST,IT IS FIVE PENNIES IN EVERY POUND WOW.i CAN REALLY DINE OUT ON THAT oH DEAR i BETTER GO AND LIE DOWN- Rose

That Toilet Duck one, where the woman is cleaning the toilet and I'm always having my dinner when that comes on. Do we really not know how to clean a loo? I ask you. Jo
