The Aviva ad, tap and go, is a bit irritating.
I was just commenting to my mother that he looks like Minister James Reilly.

The Daz ad on the radio makes me laugh, one person says to the other something like I look so dull beside you...the other person washes their clothes with Daz. 
I bought the wispa hot chock last night purely because of that ad - I don't even drink hot chocolate

and .... did you like it?
To be fair it's actually really nice - it's just like melted wispa
I drank it whilst dancing like the frothy beast! Those SKY ads featuring Pierce Bosnan are definitely starting to grate,they got one of the best known actors in the world at what must have been a terrific expense/coup and used scripts that would not even be worthy of a struggling regional pirate radio station operating out of someones garage.
i think they're taking the 'rugby bore' persona and using it to make the ad. Annoying ad allright but captures the essence of the know it all rugby pain in the....!!!
+1, I hate those ads

That's true
. One that has started to grate on me is (I think) for coke, something to do with names on the bottles. 'Your abs are so amazing' etc.Definitely a menacing air about him,the musical soundtrack doesn't help either,you could imagine him hopping out of the freezer in the middle of the night putting his boots on,grabbing an ice pick and paying a visit to each of the rooms where the family are sleeping.
I think it's great - very clever.
Sounds like it's based on the Phone Booth character - Kiefer Sutherland.
Agree,definitely doesn't belong in this list of annoying,poorly executed advertisements.
The stupid Opel ads on the radio there they have a German phrase with a cringe-worthy translation into English.
Opel make bad cars in Germany. They are not German cars, they are American cars that happen to be manufactured there. When they try to brand them as a German car it just highlights the gap between their mediocre products (and that's generous) and good quality, well designed and built, German cars.
The radio ads are so annoying that I have to turn them off. I don’t think any ad ever annoyed me that much.

That explains a lot.
I honestly didn't know that,I could never reconcile German engineering/Manufacturing with Opel.It just didn't square,until now.
