I can't be alone in this.

What grown adult gets so excited over sweets? And how the actual fuck do dip dabs taste like strawberry butterflies?

And as for the man eating a Wham bar.... tangfuckingscrammily?

Whoever came up with this ad needs sacking.

No other ad gets me quite so annoyed 😠

Please tell me I'm not alone.

I haven't seen it.

The Tui one is the bane of my life at the moment, that song is etched in my brain.
The stupid Admiral ones are incredibly irritating.
Also oak furniture land.

I like the Haribo one.

I'm with you OP, it's bloody awful!

That woman chewing sweets at the beginning is just so cringeworthy, I feel like never buying another Barrett sweet in protest!!

I've only just seen the replies. 😳
The app didn't show any replies before now.

The ad is just so toe curling. I could turn myself inside out with the cringing!

It is awful but I haven't seen it on television...unlike the Andrex washlets one which makes every part of my body recoil. I seem to see that every time I switch the box on and it's terrible.

That ad has a real "home made" look to it. The one ad that really grates on me though is the AA ad. That high pitched kiddy voice singing along with TT sets my teeth on edge.

I hate diet coke girl. She looks so gormless and has the sort of voice people use to patronise toddlers.

Ah diet coke girl... "if you want a diet coke, hsve a diet coke". Errr yeah, I don't need telling love.

I don't mind the Haribo ones, but mainly for the "I like the eggy ones the best" guy who also does the shocked face on the ad where they're all on the train, he's ace.

I loathe Nationwide.

Ah Flo n Joan for Nationwide. So forced... so in need of a shower and some less dowdy clothes. So hated that Nationwide has pledged to help do something about online nastiness.. because they've received death threats!
