I varyingly dislike the current "Barclays Bank" series.
The adverts with a 'bloke' explaining, in a ridiculously 'easy-peasy' cartoon-version of 'Micky-Taking' demonstrating how easy it is for you to understand 'the big picture' behind (otherwise complicated) business plans.
Making derogatory remarks about a woman (suggested to be totally dumb) thrown in in for good measure, to make the 'bloke' feel reassured.
Incredibly sexist and outdated in today's climate of equality and general dislike/distrust of Banks and Bankers.
It has had several reincarnations lately
How do these Banking people think they can be so cheeky ??

Re: Favourite or most hated TV Adverts
I actually quite like those ones for their comedic value but of course the point of the advertising is to cut through the other noise to get your message across. If they do it in such a way that it gets people talking, it's working - perhaps the remarks are intentionally controversial.

That Honda one a few years back was pure genius!
Too many adverts today annoy me, if I started naming a couple I'd probably go on all night_ _ _ Mostly insurance ones!
