Re: Favourie/irritating adverts
Slap Chop and Sham Wow are pretty bad. The other one that stands out for me is the Dollars for Gold advert where the guy with the English accent shouts through the whole advert.
There is also an advert for some sort of blender thing where there is a couple (he sounds English) who wizz up pesto sauce etc in 10 secs to the "amazement" of the hand picked open mouthed audience.

The english, Dollars for Gold, guy is Sully.
I now remember the awe inspiring pesto sauce advert.

For me, the most annoying must be Tempurpedic. Someone should tell them that it's not a "sleep system", it's a matress!

Slap Chop ad is annoying, but amusing at the same time, partly as Vince got busted for slapping a hooker, and I recall the tag line for the ad being, for a short while "Be like Vince and slap your troubles away" 
The Castrol ad with the scottish chap whacking people with a dipstick is annoying.
I agree the "cool students" Roger's ads are seriously annoying, the one where the chap is sliding the keyboard in and out makes me want to take the phone and batter him with it whilst saying "fist in, fist out!" grrrr
The Fido ads with people having issues with their land lines and then switching to Fido are starting to annoy me.

Another one I saw yesterday which I hadn't seen for a while is the "loud n clear" hearing aid. So bad you might think it's a spoof advert.

Loud and clear is annoying, especially the bit when the kids are in the park and they shout 'wait for me' it sounds like a bloke with tight trousers on. Snuggies is another one. Favourites.....'Viva viagra" really make me laugh cause they are so false
