Every other advert seems to be a charity or appeal advert. It's depressing enough watching the news as it is without all the depressing adverts as well.
There's a Bet 365 advert on the radio about in-play betting and the pretend football commentator says "there's 14 minutes of extra time" and it grates on me. The fact it's 14mins as if that's normal and the use of "extra" rather than "additional/added" time.
Smacks of marketing department just not quite getting football.

The radio advert for Cancer Research where he sounds like a punch-drunk stroke victim. Funnily enough, not everyone suffering with cancer sounds like that.
Those betting adverts that implore us to 'Listen to Harry'. What, listen to Harry Redknapp? A bloke whose courtroom defences have included that he didn't make any money because he was given a bad horse and that he didn't understand what was going on because he is both dyslexic and dyscalculic. Is that who I'm expected to listen to? And the worst thing is that it's not even Redknapp that annoys me most. It's the simpering little sidekick who goes, 'Harry?' at the end of every ad, as if he's worried that his arteries might be seriously blocked again. No mate, he ain't ill, he's just too rude to say goodbye when he puts the phone down.
To the mayor of London and tfl, every journey matters. I turn the radio off as soon as it starts and turn it back on after a few seconds. A bit childish I know and it winds my missus up at the same time.

The worst thing about adverts like this that rely on jokes is that if you listen to the radio more than 30 minutes a month, you will hear the same "joke" replayed again and again and again, and it doesn't get funnier...
The Persil advert with the Irish lady. Everything is white from the ceiling to the floor including the clothes she and the toddler are wearing. Why heck would anyone allow painting in a room like that? Not only does she let the child smear paint over himself she gets the treatment as well. But its all ok as she can clear up the mess on a cool wash. If that was my wife, (wouldn't mind a wife so understanding, yet able to keep a house pristine white while looking she's ready for a night out), the kids paints would be in the bin shortly after that incident and the next time the kid has a brush in his hand he would be a classroom.

Any advert clearly originally intended for another market that's been dubbed into English.
such as that one for people who have mucky washing machines.
I have just thought of my worst though, the Verisure alarms that try and scare the bejeesus out of you by saying that everyones being burgled so that you have to buy their poxy product.

No disrespect to Jess Glynne mind.
