I have been sitting on my hands about this for ages, but has anyone else found the strangely overly enthusiastic man in the Parsley Box ads really worrying. "No - the Lasagne!"
I find him right up there with with the "But, how do you look after your mouth?" woman, but it might just be me....

There's a lady in a car ad who annoys me. Can't remember which car sales place (helpful) but a man is trying to talk to his neighbour over the fence but his wife keeps interrupting. It's rude and annoying.

I saw that advert the other day and thought the same. Is it likely he's an actor?

Another vote for "but how do I keep my MOUTH healthy??" idiot at the gym. If she doesn't know by her age then she's a twit living under a rock and doesn't deserve the time of day.

The Asda ad man

The oddly smiling silent bloke on a dating for older people ad which sponsors a lot of the daytime TV nonsense I'm currently watching.

LadyLindaT · 18/09/2020 20:03

I actually quite like the "feed me" one, which I think is meant to be deliberately annoying, as in the way cats insist on being fed.
The Oral B woman is clearly winning, hands down, but June and and her s*dding parsnips are right up there.
Hasn't anyone seen the Parsleybox ad?

Creepy Viagra man, blech!

The Flash aa argh 'sung' by the man and his dog (love dogs but that advert............)
Oral B teeth/toothpaste blah blah Grin

Anything with Philip Schofield, the new Asda one, Haribo coppers and Dior Sauvage. Couldn’t pick out which one is the worst.

AuntMasha · 18/09/2020 20:26

Dior Sauvage.

Is that the one with a highly annoying Johnny Depp, staggering about, looking like he’s on meth and having just woken up in a skip?

@BillywilliamV

Creepy Viagra man, blech!
Not just creepy but looks like he’s hasn’t had a shower, a haircut or a shave in months. What does she see in him?
SabrinaThwaite · 18/09/2020 20:28

I can live with the Dior adverts by shouting “saus-age” at the TV.

The most annoying people in ads.

"Creepy Viagra Man"

She must love the socks he jives down the stairs wearing. Instead of smooching him in the kitchen she should be running out the back door ...fast!

PapsofJura · 18/09/2020 20:33

@SabrinaThwaite I hope in the voice of Samuel Johnson as played by Robbie Coltrane in Blackadder!

Batshitbeautycosmeticsltd · 18/09/2020 20:49

The creepy geezer in those older people dating apps, 'Ever since I met her I just can't stop maniacally gurning smiling'.

SabrinaThwaite · 18/09/2020 21:02

Of course. The more sultry and gravelly (and possibly Doric) the better.

LadyLindaT · 18/09/2020 21:04

The people who keep maniacally gurning in the dating app add would fit right in with the ParsleyBox people.
Dammit! I am determined to bring it back to Parsleybox!
June is probably on that app, though...

Almost everyone on the Nationwide adverts. Twee poetry irrationally irritates me.

The Tampax woman is also annoying. It doesn't make me want to go back to using tampons.

RoseLavenderBlue · 18/09/2020 21:15

Any adverts where Joanna Page (Stacey from Gavin and Stacey) does the voiceover.

Batshitbeautycosmeticsltd · 18/09/2020 21:16

We call the Oral B lady 'Three dick gob'.

daisychain1620 · 18/09/2020 21:19

@SummerHouse

There's an ad I keep seeing on here about vaginal dryness with a woman clutching her crotch. Surely that's no way to go about your business?

Just visualising myself rocking up at work clutching my crotch... "Hi team, don't mind me, I have a dry vagina."

Omg your post has me giggling away here. I've just read it out to my OH! Very good, this tickled me😂 My vote for the ads that use babies but it looks like they're talking, not exactly annoying I suppose but it freaks me out, I hate it
