Maybe not AIBU, but I’ve got to get this off my chest.
I’m catching up on Facebook and if I have to see that advert for Louis Vuitton with the vapid, slack jawed woman strolling around looking at art, I’m going to scream.
Other adverts for my hit list include
Cinch with Rylan and his massive gnashers
Go Compare
Those bloody meerkats
Kevin Bacon EE adverts
What happened to the lovely adverts with kittens jumping out of a bag of chocolate digestives or the Guinness ‘tick follows rock’?
What are your most hated (or most loved)?

Lloyds Tsb. ‘Always by your side’. No they are not. They have closed loads of branches, leaving people on the lurch

The Marc Jacobs Daisy one is everywhere at the minute. It's creepy as fuck.
Daisy daisy daisy daisy 😱

This! Gives me the rage!

Right now the Jump In one on this site.....I keep on covering half my screen with a t shirt as I can't bear to see the kids bouncing up and down in the corner of my eye it's so annoying and I can't get rid of it!

And most of the ads on LBC

astorsback · 24/07/2022 18:50

All of them. Literally.

Terribly naff, cheap looking and mainly not in the least amusing. All falling over themselves in an effort to be right-on.

I miss slick, sophisticated adverts that MADE me want to buy things for the associated glamour.

I think we need Tom Ford to make a few.

The Ocean Finance advert - personal loans at an average APR of 127% secured against your home.

I'm probably on my own on this one...but I truly hate the what three words advert...oh it's so hilarious that the old couple have stolen the young lads parcels! REPORT THAT THIEVING BITCH!!!! "Ooh I'll let you know if anything arrives"...I don't like that one can you tell? 🤣🤣🤣

Yes!! Hate that advert, it annoys me so much!

Dinneronmybfpillow · 24/07/2022 18:26

The indeed.com one that's on every ad break for the Tour De France. Mother seeks paid employment after having a period of time to care for children... "I'm going to have it come to me"... then shows her WFH whilst still clearly caring for her children at home.

Shitty assumptions, shitty misogyny, shitty demonstration of what they consider acceptable working practices or parenting.

That fucking GHASTLY OMAZE ad with the middle aged blonde woman with the sickly sweet annoying smile and the sickly sweet annoying voice. PLUS, the house they always seem to have in the competition is UGLY AS FUCK!!!!!!

Also, Myleene 'Smuggy McSmuggington' Klass has been on it a few times now shudder Confused

Ugh l can't bear that either and the advert is never ending!!

The one that irritates me at the moment is fir Birds Eye veggie chicken. That smug girl guilt tripping her mum makes me rage.

I was going to say that. Every time it comes on, my DH gets an earful of my rage about it.

AllAboutMargot · 24/07/2022 17:57

My top hate is the holiday one where a couple are messing about on holiday, theyre very touch-feely wuth each other, then at the end it turns out he's her dad!! 😳gives me the creeps.

Namechangerr1 · 24/07/2022 17:55

Super Noodles Tastyyyyyyyyyyy makes me want to kick the TV in. What's with the shouting?

compromisedrambaldifluid · 24/07/2022 17:51

My mum makes me change the channel to avoid the vax one with the spaghetti. 😂

925XX · 24/07/2022 17:50

ebay and etsy

dudsville · 24/07/2022 17:49

There's a VW car ad at the moment with a young girl being cool and fearless on her skateboard with only one eye and a cool patch over the other eye. It then cuts to her as an adult being cool and fearless and still with the cool eye patch over one eye - and through out the whole "Independent woman" bit is a song in the back ground that says something like "how hard it is for a man to love a woman when he doesn't have any prospects". Who paired this visual with this song???????

TidyDancer · 24/07/2022 17:49

I'm quite pleased to hear so many others share my hate of the Nationwide adverts! They are just so awful!

CandyCaneLane0 · 24/07/2022 16:34

Hy-a-lo-ron-ic acid 😡

Yes, that one. Patronising as fuck. Quick, put glasses on bint that says 'it's science'. Who is this advert aimed at? How thick do they assume the general public to be?
I avoid advert channels normally so I haven't seen many of these. My teens have Family Guy on though and that one crops up frequently. It infuriates me.

925XX · 24/07/2022 17:45

The fucking yodelling Domino ho ho ad.

EV117 · 24/07/2022 17:43

and something about incontinence pads that make you feel ‘pretty’

Vodafone adverts , the voiceover is the scratchy squeaky throat-ey voice that just makes me wince .

And a bank one (I've blotted which one) where a teenage girl is in her bedroom with her talking guinea-pig .
Then they get flung into the air , the girl and the guinea pig thump bak onto the bed ( I know its not real)
We see a lone guinea-pig , with a tiny plastic cage , in a teens bedroom being thrown by the "force"
No , No and No

Yes. That one too!

Is it NatWest? Obviously it's really successful if neither of us can remember which bloomin' bank it's for!

EV117 · 24/07/2022 17:42

The tooth paste one where she knows how to keep her body healthy but ‘how do I keep my mouth healthy??’
My 3 year old could tell her she needs to brush her teeth twice a day. Her breath must stink with that lack of knowledge.
