Most annoying advert on the TV right now

Is for Numan and its erectile dysfunction treatment.

I get unreasonably annoyed at the opening line: “erectile dysfunction is common in men”.

Well, yes, but it’s unlikely to be common in women!

Oh yeah I forgot Charlotte Tilbury with her horrible cheesy rhymes. And her mAke up that all seems to be some dull variant of beige, pink or beigy-pink

All of the lockdown video adverts!

bogoblin · 23/05/2020 18:55

Bank adverts! Any of them! I can't deal with their random employees looking vaguely towards the camera and not blinking. Whatever channel BF has had on today shows the Barclay one every 2 minutes.

I said, "Why do they all look a bit blind? No one's blinking? Can't they look at the camera" and he reckons it's because they're reading their lines....They're like 6 words long!

And YES to the poets. I don't trust poetry at the best of times. Certainly not now.

MaryHadALittleHam · 23/05/2020 19:28

The quorn one, eating spaghetti and it slopping everywhere round their face
Tena lady, bigger boobs, bonus, a little bit of wee
Seriously???

WilheminaVenable · 23/05/2020 21:27

The Lenor one where they take a bed to a shopping centre, get randoms to lie in it and sniff the bedding and then tell them they were washed 7 days ago. All the people go ‘omg’ and sniff some more Hmm gross

MyHipsDontLieUnfortunately · 23/05/2020 21:39

I'm so sick of wall-to-wall mawkishness. I really hate the Portal one and (it might also be Portal) the one with the family making a roast lamb dinner with their nan. We get it, families are separated; but I can't stand most of my extended family so I'm just not feeling it.

drumandthebass · 23/05/2020 21:47

Nationwide and the Surf advert

Holothane · 23/05/2020 21:52

The click clack one with aerial pods, the woman’s in a spotless kitchen Theodore yuck,
Serf and perf.
wowcher adds hate all of them
Adds that have anyone strangling songs.

freeingNora · 23/05/2020 22:05

Any add with fucking Zoom in it a screen with 12 little sallow faced fuckers who are here for me

No you're fucking not

The erectile dysfunction lanky string of piss doing the dad dance

Pert with surf

Nationwide

Not keen on the co op ones

Has anyone noticed how there are far fewer dfs and sofa world adds at the moment have not missed them

TheVelvetOnion · 23/05/2020 22:09

Nationwide Angry bloody hate them!!!

Tunnocksmallow · 24/05/2020 00:24

That god awful virgin media one with all the kids singing on zoom/Skype. Makes me all stabby

IntoTheUnknown89 · 24/05/2020 00:35

The confused.com one with the old, smug looking guy in the car Angry.

AngelaScandal · 24/05/2020 00:41

@Holothane annoying woman is Vogue Williams. Married to Made in Chelsea person. Wouldn’t have thought she needed the money but there we are.

Thunderblunder · 24/05/2020 00:44

Any advert that is shown more than once over the ad breaks in any programme.

We’ve noticed that when we get watching a programme or film it’s the same bloody adverts in each ad break. Angry

user1471565182 · 24/05/2020 04:57

That lass from oral B advert got a gig with Poirot. She didnt speak and got murdered in the first few seconds but still, not bad.

Mrsjayy · 24/05/2020 08:20

Vogue Williams doesn't need the money it is the exposure,she has been trying to be famous for years. I saw her before lockdown being a fashion expert on Lorraine Kelly's programme.

BacklashStarts · 24/05/2020 09:50

“I'm not going to let a little wee stop me being me” good for you, so go to the GP, get an incontinence physio referral. Yes it’s common after birth but I hate the fact these adverts are basically trying to normalise something which you can be treated for for financial gain with no mention of these being a temporary measure.

forgivemeimnew · 24/05/2020 10:01

Definitely the tampax one! Shock

Mrsjayy · 24/05/2020 10:05

I agree these oops I peed into my Tenna pants adverts are sending out a terrible message to women. The erectile dysfunctions adverts are offering solutions the women's incontinence ones are offering black pants to get you through the day.

MargotB7 · 24/05/2020 10:09

I love that haribo one!

Me too.

The Dani Dyer one is awful and I actually like her normally.

TheChippendenSpook · 24/05/2020 10:17

The Aquafresh advert winds me up. He doesn't say teeth until the end of the advert. He says 'kids tee' and I find it really really annoying.

Whattheduck · 24/05/2020 10:24

Definitely the Nationwide adverts they just fill me with rage

Shopkinsdoll · 24/05/2020 10:27

Any advert that has a female twee singing voice. All bank adverts, Danny dyer advert, actually most adverts. I have to mute
