Adverts that annoy you

The Plantur 39 advert really annoys me. It goes on a bit about hair loss then says 'it's particularly popular with' and the woman in the advert leans forward and whispers 'over 40' I mean Hmm

Also the Numan advert for some sort of viagra tablet where the man bellows about ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION, I am not sure their target market will be watching Steph's Packed Lunch but ok Confused

The perfume ads that repeat the same word over and over. Daisy, daisy, daisy..... Perfect, perfect, perfect 😒

WalkersAreNotTheOnlyCrisps · 06/01/2022 13:47

All of them tbh. They all just seem loud and an assault on the senses.

Usernameisgone · 06/01/2022 13:49

The supernoodle one with the donkey! It always comes on so loud 🤣

HelebethH · 06/01/2022 13:51

Anything with celebrity and wanabee celebrity endorsements

The domino adverts drive me mad, I wish they'd find something different to the stupid yodelling

PsychoSyd · 06/01/2022 14:03

On the radio, the Experian credit score. Bloke 'singing' tunelessly 'boost your credit score' to Sunrise (the 2001 Space Odyssey theme).

Go LEFT!

Nope. If I break down the motorway I'll stop in the middle name and have a picnic actually...

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 06/01/2022 14:18

Middle lane! Not name...

The only advert that actively infuriates me and makes me cringe is the Marc Jacob’s ‘daisy,daisy,daisy..ect’ one.

Urghh!

SpookyScarySkeletons · 06/01/2022 14:20

The bloody million pound house draw. I actually want to throttle that woman and her stupid stupid smile.

The oooooooo one with the card payments

The fixadent one where she crunches down on the apple (slight misophonia creeping in) and when they show someone stood on dentures and think we are all think enough to need the words "dramatisation" at the bottom of the screen.

Oh yea that one too!! And the perfect ad for perfume.

DH despises the yodelling Dominos advert. It's annoying but it's not as bad as the supernoodle one where the guy shouts "tastyyyyyyyyyyy" and it seems to go on for a decade - I have to mute the TV every time it comes on.

Oh yeah, the ooooooo one is awful too.

I have horrendous sensory issues and anything repetitive or a single sound that goes on for more than a couple of seconds makes me want to rip my ears off.

midsomermurderess · 06/01/2022 14:25

There are so many loud, shouty ones. Penile disfunction, the yodely one for pizza. I wonder if it's because so most people use platforms that allow us to skip ads that they look for the spaces where they can be as loud and obnoxious as possible, to capture a few seconds of exposure.

DerektheGoose · 06/01/2022 14:40

The one I have to mute immediately it comes on is the perfect perfect perfect perfect one - but there are many others that are bloody annoying

ginislife · 06/01/2022 14:52

Bring back the PG Tops ads is what I say. You hum it son, I'll play it 😂😂😂

JohnStonesMissus · 06/01/2022 14:56

All the funeral plan and cremation ones it's a constant onslaught reminding you about death non stop...fuck off, the people in the ads seem to be positively happy about their impending doom.

sqirrelfriends · 06/01/2022 15:01

The old numan ad one was annoying, their new one is even worse.

DONG DONG DONG DONG!!!

NannyGythaOgg · 06/01/2022 16:48

All charity ads - the more they are designed to make you feel guilty the more I hate them - even more so when the charity has paid a 'celeb' or anyone else to 'see for themselves'.
All life insurance/funeral plan ones
Anything featuring a celeb - who clearly hasn't a clue about or need for the product (slight exception Stacey Dooley as she may use the product but there is no way Claudia's shine is purely down to H&S even if she does use it)
And Dominos and that weird ooooh one about some kind of payment system.

I turn the sound off whenever any of these ads come on.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 06/01/2022 16:48

The current On the Beach one. Family of four: dad, mum, son, daughter. The mum and the daughter very much fit the stereotypical standard of attractiveness, the dad and son very much do not.

The sheer sexism of this irritates me intensely.

My grandad used to say this when he was playing piano at the local club ❤️❤️❤️ you have just given me a lovely memory and a smile.

'Toffee will be the ring bearer!' Ad for guide dogs

OMG! God knows I am usually an empathetic soul, but God I want to wring that bloody woman's neck. DS is horrified the way I rant on about her. My bad, I guess.
ItsFuckingJuneDadQuickHide · 06/01/2022 17:43

Guess Grin
Also the boiling tap thing, saying it won't fall over like a kettle,. A kettle doesn't fall over, it could possibly, at a push, get knocked over but fall?
Every charity advert, especially the one where they say that the child doesn't realise yet that no one will be their friend - shameful
The incontinence pants for woman, printing fucking bows on them does not make women feel pretty
Any advert that last longer than the programme you want to watch

Yes these.
