Adverts that make you want to avoid the product

I can't stand the new Zoopla adverts, they really make me cringe. That said, I won't actually stop looking at it (surely everyone already knows that that's how you can be nosey about what your neighbours are selling their houses for).

However ... I will never consider buying Daisy by Marc Jacobs, because the advert makes me want to scream. Also, my mum won't ever by Muller products because she hated one of their ads so much.

The British Army!

I was coming on to say 'Daisy daisy daisy daisy' Ah so cringe.

AnneLovesGilbert · 08/01/2023 12:23

Any advert that’s coy about what a woman is.

Sexy sounding car adverts.

Life insurance or funeral plans involving vegetables.

Banks that pretend they care

The confused.com adverts at the moment make my teeth itch. Such a drippy sounding man -urgh!

GaladrielHiggins · 08/01/2023 12:24

Trivento wine and “A splash of the bold”, it makes me cringe every time I see an advert

HollywoodDream · 08/01/2023 12:25

Flash floor cleaning ad, the one where the dog sings! DS can’t even watch it 🤣

Oakbeam · 08/01/2023 12:27

The army ones. Adapting her voice to meet the situation my arse.

Benendon Health. “Healthcare done different”. If they said “differently”, I would be OK with it.

That one is truly dire

Roundlampshade · 08/01/2023 12:31

On the beach. That boy is an arsehole.

Nimbostratus100 · 08/01/2023 12:32

Anything with people floating off the ground, which just makes me anxious and gives me vertigo - I couldn't tell you what they were for

Covetthee · 08/01/2023 12:33

Rimmel.

having tom Daly advertising make up does not entice me to buy their products

Is this the one where the woman kicks her flip flop into a random man's face and doesn't apologise? If so that whole family are arseholes and I also hate the advert.

Nimbostratus100 · 08/01/2023 12:33

I have boycotted Dairylee since they should children hanging upside down eating - I know that add got banned for dangerous content, but who on Earth in the company gave it a pass in the first place? Not anyone I would trust to formulate a product fit for children to eat, definitely.

Mamette · 08/01/2023 12:35

There’s a new Euro camp (I think?) one that makes me barely able to endure the end of the advert let alone want to make a two-week holiday out of it.

I’m sure the holidays are actually fine but the ad does not entice me.

lennylion · 08/01/2023 12:35

Plantur39 - suitable for women (whispers) over forty

Fuck right off and then fuck off again. It's not shameful to be (shouts) OVER FORTY

unsync · 08/01/2023 12:35

That gin one where the woman is blindfolded - why?

ElbowsandArses · 08/01/2023 12:36

M&S food. Not just food but … in our house we all make yacking noises when those come on 😂 (we are all fussy eaters for context)

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 08/01/2023 12:37

'WASHING MACHINES LIVE LONGER WITH CALGON'

Fuck off, Calgon, with your ear burning jingle from 1982. It's not even charmingly retro, it just very fucking annoying.

Spaghetti201 · 08/01/2023 12:37

I sometimes wonder if the purpose of an advert isn’t so much as to “like” it, but to “remember” it.

Yes! If they're letting that boy into the airport lounge, I don't want to be there!

Jet2 holidays. Most annoying song ever
