All of them!

The ones where a MAN tells women about anti-wrinkle cream - any hubbies here will surely have had outbursts about that ;)

Builders vs Strutters and now builders wife/girlfriend chases him home. Allegedly this series of ads is the most complained about to the ASA.

Second to that comes anything PPI or blame/claim ads.

Builders v Strutters is a disgrace, if it comes on I quickly change channels. Also that sickly sweet Andrex ad - as clean as Dave, f... off. Bring back the puppy.
