We Buy Any Car
It feels like the monotonous lyrics of the webuyanycar.com are seared into our brains every time the dancing actors pop up on our screens, supposedly delighted at the below-market sum that they've just received for their car.

At least there's some solace then that it has been named most irritating ad of 2011. A poll by Marketing magazine found that 49% of people thought it was the most irritating commercial on TV, moving up a place from last year and knocking Gio Compario and his infinitely infuriating facades off the number one spot, which Go Compare managed to retain since 2009 (We wonder why?).

In joint second place, Confused.com and Jackpot Joy also had us scrambling for the remote.
