The Uncle Ben rice advert has given me the rage.

And the Avon advert is infuriating- her face doesn’t move?

I almost feel bad saying this, but the guide dogs for the blind one, where there’s a lady and a man saying alternate lines.

vampirethriller · 13/09/2018 17:34

"this little glass of mine" makes me so angry. And the Flash one with the singing dog, not least because he's not even using degreaser on the first stain so it's not going to go anywhere, is it Dave??!

FloralBunting · 13/09/2018 17:36

At least I think they've got rid of that smug git on the PPI advert having an imaginary conversation with me. Smugly.

ALemonyPea · 13/09/2018 17:36

DH hates the dairy milk one where the little girl is in the corner shop. It gives him the rage.

Saucery · 13/09/2018 17:36

The Ghostbusters one (Halifax?). It’s on Classic fm too.

OhSoSiriusly · 13/09/2018 17:38

'You say pyjamas' etc... Think it might be Uncle Ben's rice. Makes me want to poke myself in the eyes with a rusty spoon

SinisterBumFacedCat · 13/09/2018 17:39

Lloyds bank horses ad. My DS gets so angry when it comes on he insists on turning the tv off, even if the ad has already finished. Sometimes we sing "your not alone" at him to annoy him.

FloralBunting · 13/09/2018 17:41

Is the Uncle Ben's one the one with the kid singing off key about "I want youuu to show me the wayyyy"?

JAPAB · 13/09/2018 17:42

Not sure anything will beat the Crazy Frog ad from years ago, but then not seen this ad yet.

Buddyelf · 13/09/2018 17:43

The beagle street one with the smarmy patronising Dad. I honestly feel my blood boiling when he says ‘alright then family man’ it angers me so much more than any advert should

Synecdoche · 13/09/2018 17:45

@vampirethriller how dare you, the flash dog advert is a modern masterpiece

TroysMammy · 13/09/2018 17:53

Halifax Wizard of Oz and Ghostbuster ads.
John Lewis Bohemian Rhapsody.
TSB creepy music ad.
I'm sure there is a lot more that annoy me but I don't watch much tv.

theluckiest · 13/09/2018 17:54

Those awful Plusnet adverts with the irritating shouty bloke who was clearly employed because they couldn't afford Jason Manford.

tillytoodles1 · 13/09/2018 18:35

TroysMammy, I hat that John Lewis ad too, although lots of people love it.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 13/09/2018 18:38

The Bud Light ‘Dilly dilly’ one - no-one ever talked like that, in any period of history, and trying to be all olde worlde will not make your shit beer any more appealing.

The Barnardo’s one that uses a cover version of a pop song, where the song has been slowed right down, and the singer is doing some weird, breathy slurring - it makes me want to gouge my ears out with a teaspoon.

GeoffCapesInSlingbacks · 13/09/2018 18:39

Dont know what its advertising but a load of kids singin bohemian rhapsody, i have to turn it to muteHmm

BrickByBrick · 13/09/2018 18:46

The Sixt car hire ones. To the point that even the dc know to mute it for me if it comes on.

Rafflesway · 13/09/2018 18:54

There is categorically nothing worse than that God awful John Lewis/Bohemian Rhapsody ad running at present.

It is bloody awful and how the hell does it represent JL/Waitrose or am I missing some fundamental message?Confused

Tiptopj · 13/09/2018 18:57

I hate all the meercat ones. They started off quite funny but the latest full blown musical one gives me the rage!

I do love a good Specsavers one though especially the one with the vet "Karen Karen, I have a cat here with no pulse"

dingdongdigeridoo · 13/09/2018 18:58

The Alexa one where the dad is looking after the baby, so mum has to leave loads of reminders about how to look after his own child. What a useless hipster wanker! I bet he’s the type to show off about ‘babysitting’ his own kids.

HelloGabriel · 13/09/2018 19:00

Radio one about the RAF Benevolent Fund or something where she calls her grandad and leaves him voicemail...patronising little shit Hmm

BadHairDyeDay · 13/09/2018 19:02

The Plantur 49 shampoo one where they say it's "especially popular with women [ whispered over forty!]. Gaahh like being over forty is something shameful oh PLEASE!!!

BadHairDyeDay · 13/09/2018 19:04

"Ah June do you want to see my parsnips? I've just bought the wife an over fifties funeral plan if you know what Im saying".

Every. Single. Ad. Break. 😫

toffee1000 · 13/09/2018 19:05

The one where the bloke goes into a pharmacy and ends up getting punched in the balls. It’s just nasty.

MilkTwoSugarsThanks · 13/09/2018 19:11

The Wowcher ads. All of them. It turns DH in to Michael Winner (telling me to "calm down dear...").
