This one that's on currently about that fly spray. "I don't think I've got it on". Whenever I see it I get the urge to throw my laptop at the TV.
Single worst ad of all time

What makes it so bad is the fact that it's obviously a Yank ad with Australian voiceovers. Don't they realise we know what Michael Caton looks like?
Most ads like this tend to give me the throwing urge. Mind you, the un-dubbed ad would probably piss me off more...

There's one that I've just noticed this evening.
It's one for the new Volkswagen sedan or whatever, the one where the couple with coffees ask the salesman the price and he won't tell them. Now while I have no problem with the ad in essence, right near the end where he finally tells them the price of it, and they spit their coffees all over him, this is when it ****s me. The voice-over clearly doesn't match up. I mean, it's not even close. I'm tring to work out whether it's meant to be like that, some sort of joke or something, or whether they just didn't notice it in post. Whatever, I hate it!
While it may not take the cake for worst ad ever, it's the one that ****s me the most right now.

My guess would be the same ad is used in US, UK Aus,NZ etc etc etc and the local voice over man adds in the local price
Anything with an Australian voiceover is a worthy entry.
Any ad to do with people walking around in lab coats telling people about scientific testing is crap as well.

Arrggghhhh I hate that ad
I also hate Rugs a Million ads, that guy is like the crazy warehouse guy from The Chaser, and they always seem to have a sale on "for a limited time only" what a load of ******** it's a permanent bloody thing, they've lost all credibility.
Rugs-a-million have been closing down for years. They also have a terribly incompetent person doing the ordering. They have always over-ordered.

Does your 'Vista Blinds' ad have the chick the seems like she's on speed ?
She sounds like that annoying Julia Morris,but she's a skinny chick.
Any APIA ad.
Any obviously overdubbed ad pisses me off too...

Going back a bit there were those truly apalling "where do you get it ?" ads. Not only annoying to listen to, but spoken so fast that it was almost impossible to tell which shops were being named, even if you WANTED to "get it" ! The Colgate ads with Mrs Marsh and the chalk ("but teeth are harder than chalk !") and the Lowes ads featuring moronic ex footballers screaming like idiots (did they show them outside N S W ? ) were pretty hard to take as well.
Has anyone seen that add where Tommy Hafey is about to take a bite out of the big roll? It is so poorly done that you can see that he doesn't take a bite and his mouth just hovers around it so it won't spoil it for the next take. I've seen it all this week in the ad break between the news and sport on channel 10 at around 5:45pm.
It is really bad. Also after all these years I find it strange that they would dig up old Tom Hafey to flog some mustard.

The ad for some chicken product featuring the mother and young daughter saying ‘bloody’. That bombs in many different ways. The acting is shocking and, it appears to me as though the mother is the one pulling out onto the road, yet in the next scene she abuses a car in front. Wft?

LOL that's a pretty bad ad. It goes for like 5 seconds too.
she plays covers down at my local pub. We always yell out 'city subaru' when she asks for requests. The joke has worn off considerably now though, going by her reaction anyway.
