TV Adverts you despise

[beeonmybonnett]

Lighthearted.

I hate that Sainsbury’s “hey big saver” ad. It really grinds my gears!

I don't watch tv but still get adverts on YouTube which thankfully can be clicked off.

All of the Malteser adverts are so awful I now boycott them.

I'm going to go against the consensus here and say I think the Tesco add with the trolley is funny. The ones I dislike off the top of my head

Vogue Williams and her kids fingerpainting in immaculate white clothes. DOn't have kids but even I know that's stupid.
Bold - the dad gives me the creeps
Giorgio Armani - the male model's neck makes him look like one of those ventriloquist's dummies where the head can be rotated. In fact perfume ads in general are strange.
Tena - do your bloody pelvic floor exercises, woman!
Dadit'sJune getting positively orgasmic over Sun Life while making his lunchtime sarnie - which as far as I can see he hasn't buttered.
The shampoo one with her swishing her talking hair around.

Oh yeah and the BUPA ad where the teen seems to have 3 sessions with a therapist and is all good. Mental health written on the screen. If you pay money - it's all sorted. Plus the representation of a depressed person is a crappy cliche

Bit of a sensitive subject, but I really hate the NHS cancer adverts. The one with the coughing man and the man with the Jack in the box. It may be cancer, speak to us kind of thing. Yet the reality is, how can you when GP appointments are like gold dust?

Hate the creepy music too

The Dreams one, with some American voice-over person pretending to be a log.
It really irritates me when ads aimed at the U.K. are spoken by Americans - unless it’s e.g. marketing holidays in California.

Virgin Atlantic

Any verisure ad

Those awful Bold adverts with the Dad

Yoga/concert always discrete ads.

Super noodles one with the donkey on back of a Spanish women.

All adverts. I loathe all adverts. Everything I watch is recorded so I can fast forward through the bastard things.

Usually shown on ITV X channel…

Man coming in from work on a hot day, gets an ice cream from freezer which he licks slowly and it threatens to drip everywhere due to fore mentioned hot weather
Think there’s possibly a simpering voice over to boot…

Gives me the ick/rage/other irrational anger emotions 😡

I watch an awful lot of TV on catchup and you can't seem to fast forward through the adverts that are on there.

Recently I've had to sit through bloody McDonalds, Dominos, Always pee pads and that dire Natalie Portman perfume advert for Miss Dior - one I will never buy again.

that dire Natalie Portman perfume advert for Miss Dior - one I will never buy again

YSL - why does the woman scream at the end of that one? and why are perfume ads so weird?

The women hiding in the tent says she's 50🙄

The fixodent one with that irritating smug couple having dinner at the bistro. With the song that sounds like 'mercy'.

Any ads for womens pissy pads that suggest all women, when they hit 50, suddenly piss themselves when they sneeze, cough, hiccup, or fart. So rude!

Omaze ad. The woman's face and voice gives me the rage.

Obviously Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy fucking bastard Daisy!

Any funeral plan or pension plan ad that's aimed at the over 50s, but features actors over 70 only.

Domino-hoo-hoo.

The one for Lenor (I think it is,) with the girl with the shaved head snuggling up to her fresh sheets!

Any betting/gambling ad.

Any Just Eat ad (except the Katy Perry one which I quite like.)

Super noodle taste-aaaaaaaaaaaay...

The EE one where the family supposedly landed a plane! (Though I've not seen that in a while.)

Every fucking begging charity ad. 'Will you give just three pounds a month to help?' So SO many ads every fucking day.. How much money do they think we've all got?

I also loathe the 'every answer is BINGO fuckwittery' on the ad breaks on The Chase!

I am sure there are more!!!

The TUI add running at the moment where the voice-over mum refers to her kids as 'my team' - why not just call them your kids/family?? It's like they don't belong...

There was one that supposedly had the scent of white diamonds. WTF?

I used to work with someone who you could track around the office by the trail of Lenor or Comfort or whatever it was she used on her laundry. At least she smelled very clean but it did catch at the back of the throat.

I think the most baffling ad is the one with the giant talking what looks like a Krispy Kreme. Imagine THAT conversation with your agent

"I've got you a prime time TV slot. Regular. The only thing is, you have to dress up as a giant talking doughnut."

Thats not Mel C

The annoying woman and her leaky pee pants!!?

Agree. The lass with the shaved head (on that Virgin Atlantic ad!) is not Mel C! 😂

@AlexaCanYouHearMe et al.

Thanks. Does look like her though, and it doesn't make the advert any less irritating!

The Currys one with the beards. What in God's name was the person who thought that one up on. And who in their right kind would say wow, what a brilliant idea let's go with that one.

Im Verisure that it's the terrible wooden acting in all their ads. Just so unnatural. Puts me right off.
