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.

Which is the house move one? The one where the next door neighbour changes into an old lady? If so, I don't get it either!

MarthaArthur · 24/10/2018 21:45

Agreed re the teenage boy "you will have to smell today" errr how about you boil a kettle. Gross.

MarthaArthur · 24/10/2018 21:48

clawdy the house move one is hilarious. Derek has an annoying neighbour who tells him he has found a website that makes moving house realy fast. Before he evwn finishes talking hes moved out and the new neighbours who also used the site to move finish explaining it. By the timw they finished explaining derek too has used it and moved out and a new scouse man lives there.

Athena51 · 24/10/2018 21:48

Sorry - another one.

The advert for Plantur 39 shampoo where the incredibly irritating bint in the towel leans forwards and says 'It's especially popular with women over forty'

Because women over forty are clearly beyond the bloody pale.

Clawdy · 24/10/2018 21:52

Ah, thanks, MarthaArthur that is making sense now. But why has the first man got that weird false fat stomach under his yellow track suit?

MarthaArthur · 24/10/2018 21:54

Fat suit remains a mystery Grin

Eugh and the fucking viagra advert with the silly man wafting about the place like having a limp dick is fine and dandy whilst the vaginal dryness advert is whispered and uses the word "embarrassing" in it.

funkybobbles · 24/10/2018 22:00

The Vauxhall SUV one with the gay couple going to hospital with one of them in labour , she says "can't you go faster?" And the driver says "no I'm sticking to 30"....but they're on a country road where the speed limit would be 60 or 50 but never 30.
The baby bump looks like she's five months pregnant , not at full term.
When they get to the hospital she says "park as close as you can, it's coming"....and the advert shows them parking right outside the entrance in a half empty hospital car park (completely unrealistic on both counts). The pregnant woman in labour hops out the car and the midwife is there to walk her in.....

THE ADVERT IS MADE AND DIRECTED BY A MAN WHOSE WIFE HAS NEVER BEEN IN LABOUR.

HATE it with a passion

whitechocolatefingers · 24/10/2018 22:11

^^
Yes the Vauxhall one drives me insane! Hate it with a passion

AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 24/10/2018 22:30

The ad for the muscle cream stuff where the 'nosey neighbour' sees the lady using it though the bathroom window when she looks over the fence. Get your windows frosted!

Ioki · 24/10/2018 22:37

ARF @ limp dick - very true though!!!

I have never noticed the orgasmic sounding noises in previous Herbal Essences adverts, no. Makes complete sense to me now that it has been explained but still - never noticed them before!

Tena Lady oops moments are another one YY! Might as well stick a flashing neon sign above your head saying 'I've just pissed myself' if you're going to announce Oops Moments all over the shop love

That advert for Canestan where the stupid woman in the Canestan red dress gives a knowing smirk at the camera while saying she's got thrush, nudge, nudge, wink, wink!! WTF?? Mind you, I think they've cut it out of recent showings, thankfully.

slashlover · 24/10/2018 23:03

The one for a payday loan where the woman phones the man because the freezer is broken. SHE'S KNEELING BESIDE THE FREEZER WITH THE DOOR WIDE OPEN. If your freezer isn't working then you keep the door closed for as lone as possible. Irritates me every time.

I've subscribed to taffe316 for a while now, his growing fear of trains is hilarious.

Sproutpie · 24/10/2018 23:12

Any sodding shitting advert with Meerkats in. Why have they given them Eastern European accents. They’re from Africa. Little bastards. I’d like to stamp on them.
Dreams - the sale ends Tuesday you know. Fuck off.
Any online bingo ad. I don’t care if it’s only 2 bastard pence per game.
There are many more but I have to go and rock in a corner now I’ve thought about the bastard meerkats 😡😡

OutsideTheUsualMoralConstraint · 24/10/2018 23:16

The Ladbroke one with randy bloke from the Inbetweeners in a robot suit. I know his career probably hasn’t worked out quite as he envisaged, but hawking a betting site during half-time at the football. Low, low.

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 24/10/2018 23:24

He keeps waiting for people to die suddenly after all the public service, car safety and first aid adverts. Grin

Sillybilly1234 · 24/10/2018 23:46

The one where adults are eating sweets and they all have annoying children's voices. I think Tangfastics. Aaaggghhh. I hate it.

WheelyWheelySpookilicousCotee · 25/10/2018 05:08

Perfume adverts

Rosehip10 · 25/10/2018 05:55

That Sun bingo advert with the awful women in the animal print coat.

BuzzLightyearsHoneyBun · 25/10/2018 06:31

The one with Martin Freeman in thecar with the lady pushing the straw into her drink. God that advert gives me the rage. So long. So dull. So fecking annoying with that horrid sound right in the middle.

Also the one that gets shown on the Bake off breaks, think it is for Alexa? With the girl talking to her gran on the screen and then her gran’s boyfriend come into shot. It is the strange, exorcist style roll of the head the gran does with the huge, clown like grin. Gives me the shudders.

FieryGhoulie · 25/10/2018 06:53

The M&M "Scott's home early" seems to have been on for years.

FieryGhoulie · 25/10/2018 06:54

Also the Trivago woman's voice gets right on my thrupenny bits.

FieryGhoulie · 25/10/2018 06:55

Also! Funeral plan adverts are the new PPI Ad replacement. Grrrrrr

FieryGhoulie · 25/10/2018 07:12

The expression on the Vick lady, rubbing it in her husbands chest - it's creepy how she's looking at him, like she's about to eat him.

Sorry, turbo posting.

Deathraystare · 25/10/2018 07:42

June's neighbour is a perv. Wonder what he is looking at thru his binoculars??!!

That bloody shitsinger woman (Mueller ad). And BARRY SCOTT - Cilit bang sounds like something very unfortunate - it is ,it does not work!

I do like the little boy who tries to sell back unused nappies!

I quite like the haribo ones and the specsavers ones with the vet and the cat.

All those funeral plan ones as I am in the target audience age range. Thanks for reminding me!

But most of all - all the ads for Sky TV which I do not have and will not be subscribing to.

dontalltalkatonce · 25/10/2018 07:55

Fucking Laura with her drippy beardy weirdy husband who cannot so much as look after a 6 month old baby without Alexa prompting him and of course giving him a gold star for being a Man Who Looks After His Own Child.

Anything with Martin Freeman. That man brings out the ugly side of me.
