My nomination for the most annoying advert ever!
Or is there one less likely to attract customers to a business?

I get really annoyed by adverts that claim that rubbing fruit or 'vitamins' into your hair will make it cascade in slow motion all over the place. It's just not working for me at all.

When I went to the races at the weekend, I was mildly surprised to see a young man dressed as per the advert, I'm not sure that he would have satisfied the dress requirements necessary to gain access to the grandstand.

So, if you were an online insurance broker, what would be your USP, and how would you promote it?
The ads that really get me going are the headache / stomach remedies which use the phrase "Nothing acts faster". After a few times of viewing, I'm shouting at the TV "Well, use Nothing, then!"

Ah! I just remembered the operatic version of Gocompare, thankfully consigned to history (I hope).

When the options are
1) Fluffy toy animals made in China
2) Little plastic robots made in China
3) Putin look-a-like with a fat bottom
you have to realise that advertising is old tat.
