The most annoying people in ads.

[LadyLindaT]

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....

Well the Anusol one has me giggling like a schoolgirl.

And the new nice and easy - "she does Stacy" while she is dancing around in a leotard. Makes me cringe

Not watching much actual TV right now (as I'm hooked on Once Upon a Time on Netflix) but I caught an advert yesterday for some comparison site - it had a black bull standing all calm whilst all sorts of things were going on around it. Really weird advert that obviously didn't work as I only remember the bull and not what it was advertising

That "Get it up there girls " advert has just been on during Coronation Street. It is so coarse and dreadful.

Scarlett Johansson with a terrible wig on telling us smugly how much she likes her lips “for kissing!”
And of course the excruciating Emilia Clarke one . QUANDO QUANDO QUANDO QUANDO 😡

The weird Nice n Easy advert with Stacey Dooley dancing - it's the voiceover talking about a fictional "she".... "She does this... she does that..." It's just odd, and somehow old fashioned.

I have just seen the ad again, and I've misquoted the Parsley Box man!
(I blame the Long Covid brain fog.)
His immortal lines mention Cottage Pie, THE LASAGNE!!!!! and the "Chicken Curry is good, too."
To be fair, it was his over-emphatic delivery of THE LASAGNE!!!! that was grating on me in the first place.
I am sure he is a very nice man, but it just really irks me..... also the woman stacks her cupboards really badly.

That "Get it up there girls " advert has just been on during Coronation Street. It is so coarse and dreadful.

It is so bad isn't it makes your toes curl ! It's supposed to be empowering or something

I thought Emilia Clarke looked absolutely beautiful in that ad, but, clearly, it was not a good ad, as I can't remember what on earth it was for.

Both Asda ads, the latest one with the weird bloke playing the Asda tune on saucepans then letting off a confetti thing in the garden is just as strange and annoying as the first!

I literally have to leave the room when the new Asda ad comes on and I'm usually very tolerant

I don't like the new Marc Jacobs Precious perfume advert. I know it's aiming to be inclusive but I think of perfume as an aspirational item and some of the models on the advert look odd.

Definitely caffeine based shampoo woman whispering ‘women over 40’ when she’s blatantly speeding towards 60, never mind 40!

I notice they’ve removed the shitty bit from the Oral B ad about ‘I didn’t even know Oral B made a toothpaste’. They must have had so many complaints about that!

Nearly every couple in ads these days is a white man with a black woman. How about more imaginative inclusiveness? Oh, and accepting the BT and LoveHoney ones, every homosexual couple is two lesbians. Of course, they're all young and slim and able-bodied.

Voice over man. Erectile dysfunction is common in men. Who the fuck else would have it?

Cut to the end, here.

I more or less never subject myself to ads. Or 'toads', apparently. I record and FastForward.

However, any ad with that metrosexual whistling along with a song, and a bouncy, smiley multicultural family does it for me. Usually over breakfast.

I have no problem with happy, multicultural families, just their appropriation along with that stupid whistle-along sound track.

Invariably, 'dad' does something adorably gormless, but 'mum' rolls her eyes affectionately, and the kids tumble happily along.

Just, no.

the too well groomed, affluent, sophisticated, folk who chat about stair lifts, frozen TV dinners, funeral plans, easy baths with doors, cheapo conservatory solutions etc when they really have homes next door to David Cameron in the Cotswolds and invest in hedge funds
