I disagree.
Occasionally they are funny, even witty - although print ads are generally better at that.
And sometimes they are useful.

I'm glad we don't have them on the BBC (I don't listen to the World Service but I regret their inclusion there). But I won't condemn them all, indiscriminately, to Room 101.

In fact, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith have a voiceover ad on at present.
It's appalling. Not their fault though - it's a pleasure to hear their voices. It's a shame someone in AdLand thought that was the best use of their talents, but they both have families and bills to pay.
