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....

The Aldi Dad when he says yum, yum, yum, yum, yuuuummmm.

Yes to ant and dec bank, as unfunny as they are.

Owlypants · 19/09/2020 14:51

The canesten ad with the posh woman dressed as a superhero(?)

Housewife2010 · 19/09/2020 14:54

The incontinence pants that are pretty.
Also in the afternoon, during the Classic Coronation Street advert breaks, they show one for Viking River Boat Cruises. The voiceover woman has such an annoying simpering voice.

Another vote for Harry Rednap.
Everyone in the Galbani mozzarella ads.

Whatabouteryallaboutery · 19/09/2020 16:31

The Amazon one with the "that's a low price" "that's what I said" couple. Ugh.

sqirrelfriends · 19/09/2020 16:41

That tampax ad with the fake talk show "you gotta get it up there girls!" Fuck off.

DuaneBenziesvoice · 19/09/2020 16:47

Bigger boobs. Blessed.

How do you keep your MOUTH healthy?

The go compare bloke

Those fucking meerkats

That absolute bellend on the new Asda adverts.

They can all piss off and have actually stopped me buying their products.

DuckonaBike · 19/09/2020 17:44

It’s been said already but that bloke on the Asda adverts. He fills me with rage.

ssd · 19/09/2020 17:53

The one where they mispronounced galbani

The purple bricks one where they are all so rude to the blind girl

Oh oh oh... Has anyone mentioned the cotton traders advert shown before Downton Abbey where Abby is dressed in her cotton traders get up going to a party downtown?!?!

ssd · 19/09/2020 17:53

Blonde not blind

Swiftnicola · 19/09/2020 17:59

The sun life over 50s plan, where the next door neighbour looks desperate to get her hands on the bereaved Dad.

Not a person, but the ring advert drives my dog mad.

I8toys · 19/09/2020 18:14

Definitely the Asda dad. Its fucking on all the time and I can't even understand what he's saying.

I8toys · 19/09/2020 18:15

Oh and the market supermarrrrrrrrrrket voice - it makes me homicidal.

AyDeeAitchDee · 19/09/2020 18:19

The tennis player (I'm not a tennis fan) who's trying to convince us she uses Always during tennis matches when she's wearing whites.

I don't blame her at all for accepting the deal. Bet it was good money and women in sport can do with additional income.

But, come one, you're not relying solely on Always.

Kindlingwood · 19/09/2020 18:45

We hate the Asda advert with the dodgy Stephen mangan ‘lookalike’.

Tampax too.

Both make us want to smash the tv.

VainAbigail · 19/09/2020 18:49

The Fixadent advert. It’s just complete corn!

The schofield adverts.

And a radio ad by the gov for c19 which (apparently) is Steph, a bus driver. Horrible voice, gets muted when it comes on.

As an a side, the Oral B lady was ill with thyroid cancer not so long ago.

MenaiMna · 19/09/2020 18:58

Asda are currently going for "shittest ad of 2020" with the "homemade Dad-ad schtick

LadyLindaT · 19/09/2020 19:51

In terms of the ones that you hurtle to get to the remote for, I would have to say the awful Fairy "No more nice baby", the Haribo Cops, the woman with the "little bit of wee" and, obviously, the "But what do you do to keep your MOUTH healthy" woman.
Has nobody seen the over-emphatic Lasagne man, though?

I did a double take when I saw Jane MacDonald's outfit in the advert for some sort of sheltered housing.
It's really weird and like something from Dynasty (the first time round).

I also raise an eyebrow at the advert about the couple who have just got their own flat and I presume are vigorously humping until the picture falls off the wall.
They show it at tea time sometimes for goodness sake! Shock

ssd · 19/09/2020 20:47

I think that advert is a bit much as well

SabrinaThwaite · 19/09/2020 21:28

I always think “no more Mr Nice baby” sounds like Matt Crawford from The Archers. I keep waiting for him to say “puss cat”.

Hendalle · 19/09/2020 21:40

All of them. Every last one. Particularly perfume adverts Grin
I also despise the new zoopla (? Could also be rightmove) advert with billy and Dylan “let me IN!” ads with kids being awful and/or obnoxious really irritate me..

Just remembered my DDad (he died many years ago when I was a teen so always great to remember random things about him Smile) getting on his high horse about cereal adverts where they show milk being poured out from a height in massive stream, DDad was most put out by these ads, “you’d waste so much milk pouring like that it would splatter all over” Grin

ncd5785 · 19/09/2020 21:44

The perf with surf woman makes me want to throw things at the telly

There's one I think is for sanitary towels at the moment about women being soft and strong that really irritates me

Also one in a supermarket car park with a kid who is trying to act cool with lots of "attitude" is beyond irritating

I think the go compare man annoys me more than anyone though

Housewife2010 · 20/09/2020 08:20

It should be time soon for a very aggressive Natalie Portman to demand what we're doing for love.

SerenityNowwwww · 20/09/2020 08:37

Ones with poems.
