Thinking about this last night, obviously I'd filter all of them if I could but if it was just three...
Wonga
Santander
Go Compare

Only tv I watch 'live' is on BBC. Anything else I watch is either online or recorded so I just skip any adverts. They don't affect me one bit

Jamesons.

They ruin the films on More 4 - on twice every add break.

And the Bet Victor ones with Paul Kaye are becoming annoying now.

I'd bin the one where alan sugar is advertising for new recruits. It seems to be on the BBC a lot, which is odd.

The ones that come on after the adverts have finished. Those 'sponsored by' ones grrr.
Blackberry is one of them.

Usually the same for me, but unfortunately a few things are on ITV4 (bike racing, IOM TT,...). Lots of opportunity to make cups of tea when watching that channel. Almost as many as Discovery etc.

Go Compare, Meerkats, and elephant
actually make that all adverts for all insurance.

Filter them all by recording everything. I'm a ninja with the FF->Play button

If I had to sit through the commercials I wouldn't watch anything

This one annoys me:

"There's no mystery about cruising. Viking River Cruises sponsors Mysteries on ITV".

It's the thrush cream ads that make me laugh. Are people watching them thinking 'That looks like a good product, I must buy some, but i have no idea why' or furiously itching thinking 'MY PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED!!!!'

Saw one the other day that I thought was quite good - even said as much to my wife

I can't remember what it was for. At all.

I think I may be TJ ๐Ÿ™‚

That Mars one with the monks ringing the abbey bells to the tune of House of Pain

Don't even know why but I HATE it.

Can I use regular expressions? I need to filter out any advert containing the word 'fungal'.
