Adverts that you dislike....

I’ve found I’m watching more live TV and I really dislike the Ebay advert it really, really annoys the hell out of me....

So I thought I’d ask for adverts that you dislike?

The one where they have loads of kids & luve in chaos
He arranges to move to a larger house (it insinuates)
He then retreats to the shed to read his mag

He does fuck all with the kids, in the house & is never seen talking to his wife.

So sexist

*Most hated for me is the Mr Kipling one of the brother at the adult party. He eventually gets hold of a cake to take home to his really ungrateful sister.

Nasty adults and a wholly dysfunctional family portrayed beautifully. Way to go ad agency!*

I thought he had to bring the cake home to her so she wouldn’t beat him up. Kind of like protection money.

The child with £1 from the trolley was for bank so it didn't achieve it's objective did it!!

springydaff · 16/04/2020 21:00

I find the Mr kipling advert really upsetting. I can't stand to watch it.

englebertsausagedog · 16/04/2020 21:44

The thing that annoys me about the twirling pound coin kid is that she gets in the car - you even see her slam the door but she's already got her seatbelt on Hmm

I can't stand the annoying Ribena one with that knob going on about black currants, and then the "presseeeerrrrrr" woman on it too.

Perf with surf has to be the worst though. The mid boggles that someone was paid to come up with it and then others were paid to agree that it was a great idea and then they spent money making it and green lit that final monstrosity. Everyone connected to it should be sacked.

HunterAngel · 16/04/2020 22:25

Three pages in and no ones mentioned ‘It’s June Dad!’??? Bloody life insurance ads, badly scripted, badly acted and on far too often.

msmith501 · 16/04/2020 22:29

The advert signature line that I have got stuck in my head for the past few days to the point where it just pops out like an annoying tune is the phrase "a little bit of wee's not going to stop me being me"

... apparently I have been repeating it at totally random and inappropriate moments.

fantasmasgoria1 · 16/04/2020 22:30

Oh crikey that bloody perf with surf is awful. Just eat pisses me off too. Oh and that one where the little girl gets a pound out of the trolley and her dad makes her give it back the git!

Carrie7469 · 16/04/2020 22:30

The Cazoo car advert one. "Cazoooooooo". I have to mute the telly every time it comes on.

prampushingdownthehighst · 16/04/2020 22:33

Oh I like perf with sure and the twirly pound girl but cannot stand the British gas one, who wants to see all of that???

Bluetit101 · 16/04/2020 22:36

The Dior one with Charlize Theron 😡 makes me want to throw things at the tv!

definatiz · 16/04/2020 23:04

I hate the lem sip add. Lemons eating other Lemons. Just wrong.

Maxineputyourredshoeson · 17/04/2020 02:38

Thought of another one, the peanut M & M’s ones, all of them annoy me. Makes it worse they are my absolute favourite.

I always hate the LV ones; hate the music and the general look of the ads. Always mute them. Oh, and the Tena ones, of course!

ArseholesOnToast · 17/04/2020 11:25

I cannot stand that eBay one either.

I hate the Tena silhouette one with the new mother squeezing her tits saying “blessed” and not minding piddling herself.

I quite like June and Derek and the pound coin girl.

The one I hate the most is the bellowing donkey on the super noodles ad. Hideous noise, I can’t reach for the remote quick enough when that comes on.

Bloodybridget · 17/04/2020 11:35

I'm getting sick to death of all the talking heads ones, Cancer Research and the Coop and more. It was a novelty the first time someone did it, now just a cliche.

bobstersmum · 17/04/2020 11:44

Agree with the erectile disfunction one, and I absolutely hate the one for incontinence where she says a little bit of pee won't stop me being me, I just hate it.

EngagedAgain · 17/04/2020 12:07

Nrtft but yes the British Gas ad is the worst at the moment as far as I'm concerned.

EngagedAgain · 17/04/2020 12:17

Actually I don't 'like' any of them, well except for the cat and horse ones!

Mrsjayy · 17/04/2020 12:33

Durex lube and the viagra advert i am not a prude but come on Shock

Mrsjayy · 17/04/2020 12:34

Oh and Perf with surf shush Dani !

terkwoys · 17/04/2020 14:04

@Hippopotas Makes me shout at the tv too!

1forAll74 · 17/04/2020 14:20

The Viagra one, with the scruffy man dancing around in the house after an apparently good sex session, And any new shiny car ads,where a man/woman, is seen smiling and driving,through empty streets or out into big open countryside,with not another car to be seen.

TheTeaCosyofDoom · 17/04/2020 14:23

Oh yes -'It's June, Dad'.

And the never-ending bloody cheese and tomato sandwich. And the multi-millionaire Alan Titchmarsh whose poor wife would never be able to afford a funeral for him if he hadn't taken out a Sun Life plan.

Pinkblueberry · 17/04/2020 14:33

And the never-ending bloody cheese and tomato sandwich.

I saw that for the first time yesterday - I thought the man’s head would explode any minute, you could tell he was finding making a terrible looking sandwich while talking and explaining sunlife at the same time really difficult.
