The Herbal Essences one. Confused the one that goes ‘ahhh oooooh’ all the way through it... because if you listen closely behind the ‘ahhh oooh’ tune there’s a lady saying ‘yes, yes, yes!’ on repeat and I just think it’s a tad too... orgasmic sounding for shampoo Shock - made by the same people who made organic yoghurts I’m sure?

YY I know if I know what it’s advertising then it’s effective etc... just irritates me.

Oh and the shitty nationwide ones with the pretentious shitty poems.

Regale me with your most fury inducing advert MNetters please do.

The over 50's life plan ones. Especially the baby shower one - who would discuss their funeral at their daughters baby shower anyway? Also the star gazer lily one with THE world's worst actress.

The Gif Gaf big small. Just fuck off you annoying cow. Though the car is cool - maybe just show that from now on.

Oh and Always continence ads make me all stabby. The finger click they do when they pour liquid into the pad. Why? And they are not fucking pretty

Fuck. Off.

WhoisyourDaddyandwhatdoeshedo · 24/10/2018 08:50

the flash ads with the singing dog
the oral B ads
muller adverts, even more now shirtswinger says the word "quark" i already hate the word "quark"
i watch channel 4 while getting ready for work and i couldnt stand the nescafe ads that sponsored the shows
the trivago ads do my head in, why do they dress the lady in such frumpy clothes?

NewYoiker · 24/10/2018 08:52

Fucking Sainsbury's with Their fucking going round the twist! 

Or randomly children's toys being advertised on adult tv programs. They all look ghastly and tacky! Also they're all the same thing!

Feed the pig
Wash the dog
Pat the cow
Make lollies
Make chocolate
Make ice pops

Etc etc

@WhoisyourDaddyandwhatdoeshedo what is her accent?!

Seniorschoolmum · 24/10/2018 08:59

The perfume ad with that stupid woman saying “what would you do for love?”

Jumping into the sea after spending an hour in makeup and wardrobe is about as unimpressive as I can think off.

WhoisyourDaddyandwhatdoeshedo · 24/10/2018 09:01

adverts used to so much better too

I think the only decent adverts that have come out the past few years are sainsburys "truce of 1914" and the john lewis snowman advert

Barry Scott
Bang and the dirt Is gone said at a volume of speech that could outshout Brian Blessed .
And while we're on the subject of noise levels why do all football commentators have to shout all the time ?

flapjackfairy · 24/10/2018 09:10

Yes to incontinence pads adverts and why do they never advertise mens incontinence pants eh ?

DollyWilde · 24/10/2018 09:14

In fairness haven’t herbal essences always gone with the orgasm sound in their ads? Not defending it but I wouldn’t get her up about it now, they’ve been using that ‘yes yes yes’ thing for yonks.

Haven’t seen them in a while but the woman badly singing ‘ain’t nobody’ for TUI does my head in. Last time I went to Gatwick they piped the music during the shuttle between north and south terminal and DH looked gleefully at me as my knuckles turned white Bear

The one with the (mature) bride in incontinance pants zip lining to her wedding
Lucky husband having his bride stinking of wee on their wdding day
Yuk
And yy why aren’t men’s incontinent products advertised??

TillyVonMilly · 24/10/2018 09:31

All perfume adverts, I know it’s difficult trying to create an image of something you can only smell but chuff me, do they have to be such shiny piles of wank Halloween Angry

Car adverts, when did you last see a road so empty?

RTFT · 24/10/2018 09:33

The one where they are in the exercise class with close ups of their arses and she says something like "I just had an oops moment" i.e. she's just pissed herself....hate that one.

The postcode lottery annoys the fuck out of me

Fanciedachange1 · 24/10/2018 09:35

The PPI one both on TV and on here lately!,

It freaks me out, a decapitated head riding round on a little robot thing. Absolutely hate it.

derxa · 24/10/2018 09:36

That one where the woman asks her friend if her teeth are yellow. Mind boggingly vacuous.

PhilomenaDeathsHeadHawkMoth · 24/10/2018 09:37

Tilly the ones filmed in the Rockies, tbf, those roads are pretty empty, or used to be 38 years ago.

LastOneDancing · 24/10/2018 09:42

The Jet2 one with Jess Glynn shouting 'darling hold my haaaand!'
Only because we were delayed for an hour sat on a Jet2 plane while it played on repeat Sad

And the Alexa one - the poor guy looking after his baby while his controlling wife patronises him via Amazon. Gah.

flapjackfairy · 24/10/2018 09:42

To be fair to the zipwire bride advert if I was having to zipwire to my beloved from a significant height I would also need an incontinence pad and not just for the wee!
Hopefully by the wedding night she was fully continent again!

Thesuzle · 24/10/2018 09:43

The chewing gum one where the young couple hear the parents coming back. She gets dressed he just stands there in his boxers and says Hi I’m Tom with gum in his mouth, THEN the girls father mearly raises an eyebrow and shakes his hand, !!! What’s he thinking. Go on son give her one for me YUCK YUCVK YUCKy

WhoisyourDaddyandwhatdoeshedo · 24/10/2018 09:51

oh and i hated the dominoes one - with the end of the party, terrorised parents and that clown with the song "end of the world"

I cant stand the song since it was on girl interuppted and the brittany murphy's character was found hanging and she wasnt listening to that song

AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 24/10/2018 09:51

The Aldi price comparison ads. Yes Aldi is cheaper because you're buy pampers nappies and wipes and Heinz beans at tesco. Aldi only do their own brand stuff so if you want to shop at Tesco, but their own brand stuff... It's cheaper and just as good.

WhoisyourDaddyandwhatdoeshedo · 24/10/2018 09:55

*albus I agree, I used to shop at Aldi and we wnet back to tesco and genuinly found no difference.

Plus i cant stand the speed and unease of collecting your stuff at the end. it makes me so anxious!

Buddyelf · 24/10/2018 09:55

Beagle street adverts - all of them but especially the one with the 2 dads at the ballet lesson. 'so, family man have you sorted your life insurance yet'. Gives me so much rage!

HelenaJustina · 24/10/2018 09:56

I had a huge rant at DH last night about the bloody Vicks advert. The clock shows the time scrolling past and then a loving wife and mother gently rubbing Vicks into the chest and back of her husband and son. And the tag line is something about all getting a good nights sleep... except for that poor bloody woman who is up being Florence Nightingale all bastarding night!

ARandomPoster · 24/10/2018 09:57

The bank advert where the smarmy man is telling us his bank is the best and he's sorry about that.

The whitening toothpaste one where the girl with perfect teeth is complaining they are yellow.

The holiday ones where the person holding the camera is being dragged around by the other person.

The furniture ad where the smug woman is asking in a smug voice "guess how much I paid for it" and then tells us she only bought it because Jenny's mum doesn't have one Hmm
