I mean, how many sweets must Haribo sell, to be able to afford to show their irritating ads SO often?

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 18/05/2026 22:05

The horrible advert with the 'extra mouth' on the forehead.

LadyLindaT · 18/05/2026 22:03

Am I allowed to post about one that makes me immeasurably happy? The Poretti Foxes!

Cel77 · 18/05/2026 22:03

The ones where people chew or suck food. Like the maltesers ones. I had to turn it off every time.

Yes, are we supposed to know whom she represents?

There's a new one I posted about yesterday for Sofology. A mom and daughter are in a pet shop choosing a Guinea pig, they reject several and then get a colour swatch out and it turns out they want one in rusty brown to match their new sofa!
Don't know why but it just annoyed me.

I have to admit I quite enjoy that one, even though it's ridiculous!

I know, I’m actually posting from my Jet2 holiday as we speak 😩🤣 (not kidding)

I hate hearing that song anywhere now, let alone on the bloody plane! So annoying.

Show quote history

The Jet2 flight crew must have an extreme highly tolerance to that song. That is much worse than retail workers listening to Christmas music at work. The former have to endure the same song played every working day. The latter have to endure 40 songs on a loop every day for 5-7 weeks. Jet2 crew only listen to the awful song about 10-20 times a day when passengers are boarding or disembarking.

I wonder how they react when they are somewhere on their days off and hear that song!

Jet2 play that song when boarding and disembark. My friend was on a Jet2 plane which had a technical issue, which delayed the flight departure time by an hour and a half. They had this song on a loop. Thank goodness for headphones/earphones she said. I don’t think the crew can switch off the song

Agree with a PP about Domino pizza. I feel like childishly shouting Domino Poo Poo! Their pizzas are overpriced IMO.

Yes, I was annoyed by this one .
DD and I kept guinea-pigs for years .
They are herd animals best kept in groups or pairs . They shouldn't be kept alone . In some countries , Switzerland is the best example , it is illegal .

They shouldn't be bought on a whim
They shouldn't be bought to match your bloody sofa .

Such a horrible advert which underpins the belief that guinea-pigs are fashion items and ultimately disposable

Er, it’s a joke, not a recommendation.

Bulky pee pads. All that plastic next to the skin.

Farty little pupil in the andrex ad.

Johnny Depp's new Eau u Sausage Ad. Unsexy indeed.

I imagine that 'Eau Sausage' would indeed be rather unsexy! 🤣
I find the Clare Balding Revitive foot massager ad very irritating - 'looks like my secret's out, Dave!'

The rangemaster one where they act like the new oven is a new baby. It's just not funny.

That Direct Cremation one where the woman is hovering outside the bathroom banging on to her husband, who is in the bath, about the lovely funeral they’ve just been to. Why on earth wouldn’t she just go in and sit on the loo to talk to him?

Am I the only one who can't recall seeing Pepto Bismol adverts? Maybe I've just been lucky.

Reminds me of going to buy a new carpet, I wanted pale sage green. At the time I had a pair of cord jeans of exactly the right colour so I finished up lying on loads of carpet samples!

Does anyone else see the one with the adjustable chairs to help older / frail people stand, & just WAIT for it to dump the guy on the floor while it's tipping him upright? ;-)

Those ads never show the real end user.
The actor's are full of the joys of spring and very healthy looking the only nod to ageing is grey hair.

The “hold my hand” ad is Jet2, not Tui. Agree it’s fucking annoying!!

The travel insurance one where the smug couple are off on their second holiday this year and she's surprised thst her chosen company covers all conditions. She gets so excited informing her husband they will even cover HIS condition . Apart from patronising smugness whatever condition has he got that she wont name it and thought it might not be eligible for insurance. ?

Another vote for that bloody awful Molly Mae and also the one where the people have lips in their forehead that are speaking ..
