Adverts that irritate and entertain

I've noticed the PC World one is a bit cheeky. It's got a guy who "is a bargain hunter" who goes on about how he got office 2007 for £69.99. It then transpires he's meant to be a student (in what is perhaps the shallowest possible bit of writing I've seen in a while). Of course, this means he's entitled to office 2007 for £35 from Microsoft.

And may I introduce the Postal Gold man - with the scariest unblinking eyes in the world!

I want to do a poo at paul's seems to be getting even more showings of late.

BTW, does anyone know who the god awful guy on the t-mobile "total eclipse of the heart" ad it? The mouthy one with the hair. (I'm presuming he's one of their plants in the crowd)

I'm sure I recognise him from somewhere but can't put my finger on it. Not to say I approve, I want to shove the phone down his massive gob, especially after his four foot face stared through my window from the side of a bus the other day. urgh.

He is the reason I am not going to ever use T-Mobile. I saw that bus advert too and I really really really hope he's real, he signed the release in good faith and is now massively embarrassed.

Does the Solpadeine "With all power comes responsibility" advert run outside of the island of Ireland?

It's been running, unaltered, for what seems like about 15 years and was as shite then as it is now.

Well they've certainly selected their demographic haven't they! Not that I would ever stoop so low as to buy Advert wine

Diito about the O2 Cash Card.....

I'm convinced it's trying to hypnotise the viewer too.

It's not quite got me yet. I do keep meaning to look further into this O2 visa card thingy they're brainwashing me with.

First there was the Apple iPhone with, "There's an app for that!" Which was annoying enough, but now we have Subway with their new slogan, "There's a sub for that!"
