Great list of bad ads but the one I absolutely loath is the one appropriately referred to as putrid the credit reports, coming in second is the imbecilic cable guy ads.

Nikon is clearly trying to overcome the reputation that their products are too complex by demonstrating that an idiot can use them.

I don't actually watch TV, but from youtube I can say that the Apple ads (for macs or iphones) are terrible and entirely false. Also, the Microsoft ads are just responding to the fake crap Apple and the media are always giving them.
And no, I'm not a fanboy, as I use linux. I do, however, hate Apple.
