Adverts that get on your wick!!

[Ioki]

The Herbal Essences one. 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 - 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.

loki 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

Don't you remember? Their original strapline used to be "a totally organic experience" - they've always (inexplicably) played on the word "orgasm"

And those complaining about Cillit Bang - I saw a new one last week which was him and some woman on an inflatable cleaning obstacle course. I can't remember the detail but it did actually make me laugh out loud at one point.

Sadly I can't find it on youtube, and I haven't seen it since!

On my local radio station, there is an advert for the army where they stress that women don’t have to shave their hair etc. It’s quite good until the last couple of sentences when it becomes patronising ( can't remember the exact words).

Washing powder/washing up liquid/nappy adverts etc where they say ‘new and improved’, ‘best ever’ etc. Makes me think we have been sold duff products all these years. I feel like I should take them to the trades description act people.

Any advert regarding retirement plans - including the dreaded June, wish someone would pension her off. Any bladder control advert, gross, and who is that skeleton that dances down the street, whats his game?

The purple bricks adverts! Tui one, the maom one,
M&ms scotts home early can fuck right off.

I hate the ones for face cream, with perfick models who’ve never been near a wrinkle! Only like the ones with Helen Mirren.

' I can see near.I can see far...'
She's in a goddam car ffs!

the one I really really hate is the revoltingly smug singing family who remortgage their home to release equity, 'good advice is key'.

You will all hate me but Julie Walters in that Specsavers (?) ad. You're selling something matey not saving the planet.

all adverts are crap especially the ones that want you to take money out of your house (good advice is key ) without telling you the details of how they will have your house off you /or as good as , the lying gits

Loads annoy me, especially pretentious ones where you have no idea what the product is. Go Compare is WAY past its’ sell by date. Oh & I can’t bear the Duster car ads.

I think it's the advert for Haribou where all the adults talk like children.
There's something quite creepy about it.

Have to say, I always find the Haribo ads hilarious.

Just found another that new pot noodle add with the love island girl on it makes me cringe

That car one with the lady who is pregnant rushing to the hospital with her partner/wife - I enjoy how they do a reverse park into the bay when they arrive 😂

Unnerves me anyway as am v near my due date and panicking about my journey to the hospital!

Can't say I like the Julia Walters one either - she looks a bit smug. Although I'd probably look smug if I had all her money

... but I love the all of the Haribo adverts ....

The overs 50s life insurance one. The one with the dude and his parsnips.

The way the woman says the word pretty in the tena advert.

The charity ones, mostly on during the day. I mute or switch over. They are relentless.

The one where the teenager says "mum, there's no hot water" about the boiler, or something along those lines. I never noticed before, but the dad who is on his way to work with a slice of jam toast also has a full MUG of tea! Who walks to work with a mug full of tea? Who drinks a mug of tea in their car? Was he going to finish it before he got in the car and then take the mug with him? Was he going to slot it in somewhere and hope there was some left by the time he got to work?

It confused me

I'm surprised no one mentioned : the shoe ordering bullsh1t where an extremely, extremely irritating woman screams like a banshee whenever she receives her new shoes, which is a lot. Then one day her idiotic boyfriend or husband or whatever, screams just like her and the extremely, extremely, extremely irritating woman shuts him up with a loud air horn and asks "why are you yelling?"
I want to bang their heads together.

Yes, MarthaArthur Me too. Literally ANY toothpaste advert - why is everyone in them so gormless? Also astounded that brushing their teeth might be a good idea?

And don’t get me started on the bloody house move one: it’s not helped by the fact that DH doesn’t ‘get it’ and I have to explain the point of it every bloody time! Gah!

The Fingerlicking Chicken one, hate the style, I cringe at hearing it so bad, I still can’t remember what’s the business... KFC?

So many but at the moment:

The Oral B one when the woman asks if her (sparkling white) teeth are yellow and her CF mate says yes. She'd be picking her teeth up off the floor if she tried that with me.

The one where the woman says 'I've found bladder leak underwear that's actually pretty' um, no you haven't love, you look like you're wearing an adult nappy.

The Nationwide ones, the Halifax ones. The Key one that murders 'Right Said Fred' (my DP refers to that one as 'Crimes against Cribbins').

I could go on but I'll give myself conniptions...

@HelenaJustina

I had a good rant about the Vicks advert to my DP 'Who's going to rub Vicks on that poor woman's chest when she's caught the bloody cold from her child and useless manchild eh? Answer me that!'

Poor man is still terrified
