Current TV adverts that give you the rage?

This ad is on constantly, and maybe irrationally, I just find it incredibly annoying, the way one of the women is nodding her head to the "beat" at the start etc etc

Any ad you hate at the moment?

99% or radio ads make me want to rip my ears off and shove them down my lugholes.

Sunlife 'june from next door' who clearly has her eye on the eligible widower and steals his post to strike up conversation at any opportunity

The Claudia Winkleman adverts for shampoo or hair dye or something. Where she reads out the mean tweets. Firstly because she's very irritating. Secondly because they've been repeating the same advert for months on end. They introduced a new advert a couple of weeks ago (which made it slightly more bearable), but now they've gone back to playing the first one again Angry

I find the ones where they have a very very young idea with flawless porcelain skin selling wrinkle cream, or super models with silly hair ‘I only use carbolic soap on my hair!’ Or the skinny Minnie’s plugging the abdominal massage gizmos. Or people lovingly feeding their cats with kitty de luxe cat connoisseur food (when anyone who has a cat will confirm that the buggers will happily eat a mouldy, mummified old mouse that they have found behind the garage and live spiders then burp in your face).

The one where a pregnant woman's parents start banging on about their funeral plan at her baby shower. There's a time and a place for discussing your funeral and it's not at your daughter's baby shower!

Urrghhh that one with the woman 'Bum, Hips..!!!!!' I didn't know oral b made toothpaste..!!!
This makes my eyes itch.. I literally get the rave and want to shove that apple in her face knocking out her perfect teeth..!!!!
Ahhhh, rage gone, normal now 😊 peace and love, peace and love 😊

Postcode lottery......someones knocking at the door....somebodys ringing the bell....do me a favour....open the doooooorrrr !!!

The cordless vacuum one where the entire family are merrily dropping cereal and other crap all over the place and instead of threatening to staple things to them the mum is dutifully scampering about cleaning it all up Angry

Mumthedogsbeensick · 09/01/2019 19:39

The bloody Sky bingo one with the women on the sofa and one spills crisps. I think it's Rylan thingamebob doing the voiceover. Whoever it is I cannot stand listening to them!

Silkyanduna · 09/01/2019 19:42

Not seen it recently actually but I hate the shaker baker advert gives me rage

Girlofgold · 09/01/2019 19:47

OMG! The centre parks one.

Rosehip10 · 09/01/2019 19:47

Also this - "protected AND pretty". ffs

My DH gets the rage at the Oral B ad, it's really funny watching him rage at it. I get just as ragey at the old Head and Shoulders advert with the stupid hairdresser who doesn't know H&S is a shampoo!!! AngryAngryAngry

katienana · 09/01/2019 19:52

Diet coke ones where they bang on about all the kerayzee shiz they are into and how you should just have a diet coke if you want one I just don't get it. Is diet coke now a guilty pleasure?

StringyPotatoes · 09/01/2019 19:58

The McDonald's ad on the radio for the Big Chicken Tasty over Christmas.

"My favourite panto is The Melting Snowman"
"Oh, what's that about?"
"It's about...a snowman...that melts?"

It's so patronising and stupid. I am still none the wiser as to what the show is about!!!

And to make it worse, the tag line is "sometimes a name says it all"

No, I still don't know if your Big Chicken Tasty is a burger or nuggets or strips or if it has a special sauce or anything!

KevinTheYuccaPlant · 09/01/2019 20:04

The one for the mattress company with the CGI sheep showing the stages of mattress production - whoever did the sheep clearly never spent more than 20 seconds watching one move and I'm being generous with that!

Off our screens now, but the Elton John John Lewis ad. Right at the end when the boy plays two notes on the piano, the notes you hear aren't the notes you see played on screen - you see a third played and hear a fourth.

BadlyAgedMemes · 09/01/2019 20:09

The Clearblue one with the couple looking at their (obviously positive) "old fashioned" pregnancy test all confused. "Is it...?" New fashioned test with "Pregnant" written on to the rescue.

blamethecat · 09/01/2019 20:16

Oh yes Alpaca Bloody June, she hasn't mentioned Parky in the last couple I had the misfortune to see and she looks like someone from neighbours years ago.
I do wonder how effective advertising is as so many are annoying .

Flanuary · 09/01/2019 20:20

The stupid bloody

‘you bought it’

‘We won’

Lottery one.

Sentimental, unrealistic twaddle. Grr

ilovepinkgin33 · 09/01/2019 20:21

All of them

AlanThePig · 09/01/2019 20:23

lostinjapan Winkleman did an interview a few months back where she talks about her grey hairs and how she simply has to dye her hair. Based on that I tweeted and asked how the hell she used Head & Shoulders with dyed hair as it just strips colour.
She didn't answer and I can't see it being the basis of the next ad 😂

Mississippilessly · 09/01/2019 20:26

Fucking Oral B woman. 'I know how to keep my body healthy, but how do you keep your mouth healthy?!'
YOUR MOUTH IS PART OF YOUR BODY

and breathe.

DareDevil223 · 09/01/2019 21:41

That Kayak one drives me potty too Rosehip

I have this violent antipathy to the Jet 2 Holiday one 'darling hold my hand' something about the looking back lovingly at partner and dragging them round by the hand makes me want to kill.

The Tena Lady ones. No love, your bladder leak underwear isn't pretty, it looks like an adult nappy. And don't even get me started on the Oral B ones Grin

All the Venus razor adverts of women shaving their already perfectly shaved legs/pits!! 😡
