Mine is the little girl singing 'when I get older' and I have to mute the tv when she starts screeching.
The other one just boggles my brain, who told this bloated chump he should appear on the commercial for his company whilst stood at a strange angle and looking deeply uncomfortable?
Can't be arsed to find any vids, but the ads I hate are the ones which try to create a big game out of it. For example, Gillette's "Pro Glide Challenge": A guy runs into the public washrooms asking guys if they "are ready for the Pro-Glide Challenge" in a tone as if this is an absolutely critical matter and not at all a staged event ¬¬ Trust me, if I was shaving, and a guy ran up and asked about some challenge, he would probably be decked and told to get the feth out of my bathroom.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation
For me, it's every single Coles ad, with their terrible jingle. And like Ma55ter_fett, I can't stand YouTube ads, least of all that terrible Facebook "Page Rage" one. The girls voice is so god-damn annoying.

Truly gak, but perhaps trumped by 'we buy any car' ravemusic gakfest...?
Wallow in your despair...
Actually Go Compare is an extremely effective advert. It sticks in your head. Go up to any group of 12 year olds and say "go compare", I bet you they'll start singing it.
But WBAC...my ears, they bleed, and my eyes water...

Wow, the fact that I survived that is a miracle.
For me, most ads are annoying, that's the primary reason why I use DVR, to fast forward.

/rant.
Some guy asking other guys in a public restroom if they want to take a "pro glide" challenge? Didn't George Michael get busted for that a few years ago?
The youtube hair product one with the guy who's all "If I want to find myself.. I can" and then he's sitting ontop of a car bonet, "If I want to fight I can" and he just headbutts a punchbag.
How does this advertise a hair product?!

This makes me want to punch things. Just over how bad it is. And I've probably seen it hundreds of times which convinces me that business is going good for them.

"And the moral of the story is: Appreciate what you've got, because basically, I'm fantastic."
This one grinds my gears a bit, not because I have anything against the product they're selling, on the contrary I'm all for open sexual expression,exploration, etc...what annoys me is the reaction the guy has at the end...it's almost like he's thrilled he'll never have to be bothered with his girl anymore...
...Plus I dislike the " We're so hip" vibe from the women at the party.
And this one,ironicly, gives me a head ache...

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
For me, any Kit-Kat commercial lately. All the commercials are is people smacking their lips and crunching the candy and going "mmm".
I actually hit the mute button as fast as I can when those come on.
Eat with your dang gob holes shut.

People who sell collectible gold coins to places like this are fools. Bullion weight is a damn rip off on older gold coins. I see about $10,000 worth of $20 Gold Eagles there.
The most annoying adverts to me are ones that purposely mislead people into services like this ^
Plus the adds for prescription drugs, how the hell should that work? Advertising a drug that the public can't buy without a Dr's note? I guess it's a crass way to get old people to badger their Dr to give them another pill for an ache that occurs for some completely unrelated reason and buy the DR some peace from some hypochondriac elderly person.
