Adverts that make you want to avoid the product

[chickbean]

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.

P&O The Big Kid - creepy AF

The virgin media airline one. What's the point? 🫤

Oh and I think they're sponsorship but the series of Deliveroo ones with people with incredibly dry chat. The woman who made the shit letil ragu (surely not an actual thing) and her boyfriend who seem to think it's the funniest thing ever

Yes! The words/ picture change so rapidly I have to look away or risk getting a migraine

The one with the American log, advertising beds.

I mute her before she says it then shout at the TV "absolutely fuck all, pet" It is irrational, but as like that just boil my piss. I guess it's supposed to be edgy. I think it comes across as try hard and a bit unhinged (so says the woman shrieking at the telly! 😂)

There's a cruise one that starts 'I wonder, I wonder' and then meanders on wondering about something or other. I assume the MD's MIL fancied trying her hand at writing an ad but apparently it was lifted from a talk by Alan Watts.

Still not selling it to me, Cunard.

Yes, why directly insult your target audience? I don’t understand what they’re trying to achieve.

I also hate Daisy and mute the tv when it comes on, but by then it’s too late and I can hear it in my head anyway 😠

Any and all Verisure ads.

Agreed! I hate the little shit 🤣

I actually booked my winter get away with love holidays instead for this years January sun 😁

KFC chicken and gravy. Can't watch it. I imagine the smell of the weird, gloopy gunge on top of the greasy, greasy chicken and it makes me a bit sick in my mouth.
The Very sure alarm adverts. The adverts where bad actors go to die. " Nice house " says one man to another" But have you made it safe?" No man has ever said this to another man in the history of mankind's existence.

Yes I hate that advert!

On the Beach. I've used them before but was only thinking earlier today that I'll never use them again because they've ruined "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" for me!

And the woman on the bench who he invites for a walk Sadly she can't join him because her legs hurt. It's cringy anyway but even more so because I remember him when he was young and sort of attractive. Now he's walking about with an untucked shirt and a huge belly. I know we all age, but we aren't all on the telly.

Jamie Redknapp and his oh so comfy Skechers trainers ... like he'd ever wear them

The one where the car dealers all jump about on calculators with the AWFUL jingly noise in the background I think Motorway

It was a man perfume . I think it's called K or King. And yes it's a very odd advert. Reminds me of a phrase my mum uses about vain men ' well he's the sort of man who would never be lonely with a mirror". Says it all really.

The one with Judi Dench (confused.com I think)..I cringe when it comes on!

or something similar :)

I may start another thread with "Which adverts do you love?" because I have been thinking about which advertising companies have actually earned their fee (Specsavers, Lloyds Bank). I hope Marc Jacobs' ads are so crap because they decided to bypass the advertising companies - surely they didn't pay anyone!

@always2ndbest I came on to say dominoes pizza too. It gives me the rage and I always mute it!

That car selling or buying one, can’t remember which, with the bloke with the black hair and beard who looks like Beelzebub and can’t say his Ts - ‘You’re in the driving seat now, Bri’ain!’ Makes me want to chuck a brick at the telly.

Bold! New house and a clean fresh start, not everyone wants to be there...

every time the marc jacobs ad comes on my dog starts going mad thinking someone is calling her, yes she's daisy.

The Herbal Essences ad drives me nuts, all that hair. Argggh.
