that ad with the stupid woman saying that the hottest anti aging ingredient is "pentapeptites" (probably made up on the spot)

There's a kind of yoghurt (it's not actually yoghurt, but close enough) called "Froop" here. In the adverts there's this annoying little girl (brat is more fitting, I think), in which she always shouts "FRUCHTALARM!!!" ("FRUIT ALARM!!!" - which is what she calls "Froop").
Now, that's pretty annoying already. But they actually managed to put that advert on just after an episode of "CSI: Miami" (Season 2, Episode 14 - "Slow Burn". It takes place in the Everglades), at the end Lieutenant Horatio Caine is telling a mother that they found the body of her long missing daughter. It's a pretty sad scene, also with sad music, and then the episode is over. So the scene plays, we hear the sad news, and then a bit more of the *VERY* sad music. And then suddenly (as they don't really play the credits, if the series has separate credits, but just display them on the side of the screen)...FRUCHTALARM!!!
There's no way they could have possibly messed that up any more. -

 Oh dear! I haven't laughed this much in front of the computer since you posted that crazy cartoon of the girl having a gate to hell in her closet.

Anything that says it "eliminates up to 100%" of anything (acne, dandruff, whatever.)
0% is up to 100%. OK to be fair call it 1%. It's still a pretty meaningless claim.

Cillit Bang! Bang and the dirt is gone!
In fact, the most annoying is for one of those dodgy loan companies, 'Picture'. "How much did we want to borrow again? £25,000?" As though consigning yourself to a lifetime of debt is the most casual decision in the world. Actually, for their target audience, it probably is. "You know, it's easy to talk to those people. You can finally have an.... adult conversation." "About football?!" Argh shut up. |

ACTIMEL ADVERT:
Drinking one pot of Actimel a day and it will release Bifidus Digestivum around the body to control the flow of food through the digestive system. **translate** REAL PEOPLE LANGUAGE: Drink one pot of Actimel a day and you'll take a dump like an ordinary person.

Elephant.co.uk
Sorry, what was that? You mean that I should get my car insurance from Elephant.co.uk? Really? So Elephant.co.uk offers car insurance? That and the Confuuuuuuuuusssed.com adverts. I've realised how easily annoyed I am. |

And of course, Vanish Oxy Max. That's just so incredibly boring, badly sync'ed and unconvincing that it literally has me wondering each time just how badly you can miss the timing on lip syncing. Annoying, annoying, and first and foremost, annoying.

Ah yes, that's reminded me of a whole sub-genre of bad ads: the American-ad-dubbed-with-British-accents variety.
You wouldn't think it would be possible to mess up the lip-syncing when dubbing into the same language - but it is. |

By no means the most annoying advert I've ever seen, but the one presently annoying me involves students eating Weetabix combined with unorthodox liquids. The woman who puts smoothie and chocolate milk on hers, irritates me the most.
