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.

The one with Miley Cirus swinging on a wrecking ball comes to mind. Totally wrong person for any positive marketing.

Daz- shouty. Never will I buy that washing powder.

The Tango adverts in the past made me not want to drink the drink

Anything that uses dance.Why do adverts use dance??!!
That fuckin "Darlin, hold my hand. " Holiday advert

I will not buy Cillit Bang on principle because the adverts really irritate me.

Also agree re: Daisy (Hope someone from Marc Jacobs is reading this!)

One of the holiday company adds - with the irritating Jess Glynn song. Can't remember which company - Jet 2 maybe or Tui. Hatred mostly due to the song...

Anyone remember the Voyage Prive one that was playing a few years back? Lots rich, beautiful people being insufferably smug about the the fact that they could travel 'posh class'. Was overwhelmed with a urge to slap all the actors squarely around the chops...

The Daisy one is like they're in a cult. I keep expecting some Charles Manson type bloke to come in to the field and order them back to the farm.

All perfume ads seem to turn perfectly good actors such as Natalie Portman or Cate Blanchet into terrible people who can't act. I suppose part of the problem is there's no actual product to show so they have to waft about doing not much

I entertain myself by imagining they’re in the movie Midsommar, and about to die horribly.

The ads for Pets in a Pickle (pet insurance) make me literally reach for the off button....how can a proper organisation call themselves that?

Very relieved that webuyanycar got rid of queue jumping Schofield. Couldn't stand those ads with the smug twat in them

I don't watch live tv so can't comment on tv ads, but radio ads, omg there a couple that piss me off!

Perf Surf is my most hated. I will never buy Surf!!

There's another one, which I don't even know what it's advertising, but if I find out I will not buy it! It goes on about treat days. Something like.. if you have a treat on Monday and Tuesday that's bad, Wednesday; you have to admit you've been naughty, thursday: you have to wait for it, because it's nearly Friday and Friday is tress day. Raaaa... just fuck off!! Have switched stations or turned it off before I hear any more!

All the ads on social media where it’s boys or trans wearing massively OTT makeup. I never see an ad of a woman wearing normal boring makeup (ie what I’d actually want to buy). I know some like that style, but I never bump into anyone wearing makeup like that!

Also Calgon. Urgh.

Agree with many of these ...
Zoopla - yes, women's voice is just awful
Daisy - yes, and I think Marc Jacobs have done another perfume advert equally annoying. They are so dystopian they almost verge into horror.
Also hate Specsavers, and any others where they have actors made to impersonate real people (eg cancer patients being told they are cured and wiping away fake tears). Case in point 'oh no, I could never go to Specsavers' (fake chuckle).

if Philip Schofield is selling it, I'm not buying it.

I forgot the Lloyds bank one with the galloping horses. I have absolutely no idea why it bugs me. But it drives me nuts.

Celebrity endorsed products.

I have no interest in paying for the marketing budget of using a celebrity.

Then in reverse too, I have a special loathing for rich celebrities who market for financial products or loans.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Bold detergent one with the dad and his two stroppy daughters who cannot settle in their new home till he washes their onesie and bedding in Bold .

Now he's off on a date as a newly single man and his daughters have washed his pulling shirt in Bold , then making all silly heart gestures at the window .

I;ve never bought Bold and never plan to .

The one portraying a youngish black guy as being so stupid that he has forgotten he has sold his car!

Speak in your normal voices you fucking twats. Why does eating a haribo make you speak like children? Makes my skin crawl.

I've just seen one so awful it made me think of this thread straight away. Something about people's pet dogs getting distorted and stretched or compacted. very distressing

@VanillaImpulse but I also can’t stand the new version I have started to turn the radio off when I hear it.

@chickbean DS and I love the new McDonalds ‘eyebrows’ ad.

Every toothpaste ad ever. Little Miss Goody Two Shoes prissily lecturing us on protecting our enamel, the Oral B girls who appear to have had their brains surgically removed, the creepy and revolting Corsodyl ones whose creators seem to have watched too much Horror Channel, and the mad Macleans donkey (though he did make me laugh at first; to be fair that one is a bit of a pisstake).

Spit ‘em all out and rinse them down the plughole, I say.

Might have something to do with the breathy butchering of a perfectly serviceable Carpenters song.

Daisy, Daisy Daisy. I’m convinced it led to sales of the perfume plummeting!

Obviously Daisy Daisy Daisy and I would never buy anything with Marc Jacobs on purely because of this advert. I also once overheard a group of creepy blokes in their late 70s talking about how the women running down the hill didn't have bras on and now all I can think of is all the impotent, lecherous, creepy old blokes drooling at the TV when its on.

The one with the old woman giving a donkey a piggyback and the voice over starts screaming "tasty" in a really high and shrill note. TV goes on mute as soon the advert starts.

The one with Ian Botham and his dry, scaly, sausage feet with his cashew nut toenails.

Phillip "the gimp" Scholfield. I have no idea why he always makes me think of gimps. Shudder.

That disturbing older dating ad with the man who resembles a grey haired gnome, leering and tilting his wobbly head. He reminds me of Richie from Bottom (God bless Rik Mayall).

The Chanel ad with Keira Knightly gurning all over Paris. Can't believe she was paid $1m to mouth breathe all over that beautiful city. Johnny Depps sausage advert, and why is he burying all the "jewellery" he bought at Ramsdens?

Any advert with the flattest bottomed women weeing themselves but we never see men weeing themselves and needing Tenaman.

Poetry. Just why? Its utterly awful and cringe inducing. Please make them stop.

The singing one where they lament being unable their washing dry and their room smells like their armpit and the solution is to use fabric softener or maybe washing liquid. How the hell will fabric softener help to dry their clothes???

The Numan adverts.
