TV Adverts you despise

[beeonmybonnett]

Lighthearted.

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

Daisy, Daisy ,Daisy advert. My daughter bought me Daisy perfume for Christmas and the first thing I said to her I love the perfume but I don’t like the advert 🤣

Any over 50s lifecover, talk about setting the cost of a funeral!
On the Beach, I would send the family off to an obesity bootcamp for 2 weeks instead!
Any advert where the stress and intonation are wrong.
Tena.
Numan
These last two would make anyone believe that the population of the UK suffers from incontinence and ED after a certain age. Ditto for, is it, Fixadent?

Still wondering who the girl on the Virgin ad who isn't Mel C is!! 😂

😂 well I had to google it and apparently they are all staff. There's millions of threads across the web, where people think its Mel C.

The Nespresso adverts where the two smug women con George 'smug bastard' Clooney out of the car. So pretentious and irritating.

Ad block browsers are your friend here - I use AdBlock Plus, it is free and works brilliantly on websites on my laptop and the app on my phone.

I think it’s Gala Bingo, the ads around the time of the Chase on ITV with the woman with short blonde hair. Hate those Ads. Is it supposed to be funny?

Not rad everything yet..
mine are
the super noodle donkey noise
the lips on the forehead, I couldn’t tell you what they were promoting..
many gambling ad, families are SUFFERING from addicted gamblers…. same with alcohol.
they banned smoking ads…

I expect there’s more I can’t think of.
THE one that’s bugging me the most is a radio ad.
The Octopus Energy one where they have REAL reviews, from REAL people… fine, but why is it always the older generation? So patronising.

Virgin airways one, agree wtf is trying to say? We are so diverse and right on that we let women fly our planes (shock) and we let men, women and all forms of the in between (yawn) fly with us.
Also, I'm not sure what it's for (says a lot about the ad) but it's something to do with food/food ordering where it's made to look like a cheap porn film. It's truly awful and I cannot connect food ordering with cheap sexual thrills, maybe someone else can.
Bring back the Hovis lad, with his bike.
Bring back the Smash aliens.
Bring back Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins.
The ads of my youth deserved oscars compared to the shite that on our screens today.

The pot noodle advert with the hideous slurping

The bloody domino-who-whooo ones

I have to turn that one off, it makes me feel sick. I can't imagine why that would make anyone buy the things.

This. They give me the rage.

The cremation adverts that insinuate if you don't buy your own cremation you are burdening your family with arranging your funeral themselves.

The Google Pixel ones about the best take feature. Lookatyou, nowlookatme, lookatyou, nowlookatme - ad effing infinitum, and the participants still don't look any better, they're just facing the camera now. (Clearly this has been bothering me for some time.)

The one with the goats skidding of the side of the mountain,

and creepy Malteser guy 'getting it on'

and the ice skating girl and the sanitary pads,

Stupid head & shoulders advert, pretty women gazing up at a man as if he's godlike.

The worst advert on TV at the moment is the current Scotto advert. A man bellowing into a small hole at the pointy end of a traffic cone. A woman sitting on a bench speaking with a very dodgy/phoney Scottish accent, and for some inexplicable reason she is wearing an unflattering bright fluorescent yellow vest. Between the two of them, they look as if they have escaped from somewhere and are enjoying themselves before they are found and returned to their 'home'.

The advert with the little girl in a shop ‘I’d like a bar of chocolate please’. It makes me irrationally irritated.

Lenor - it's fabric softener, FGS, no need to go orgasmic over it.
Verisure - job creation for drama school rejects
Head and Shoulders - smug git vibes from that bloke with his smirk and 'I don't'

And another one - Our Time over 50s dating ad. Bloke says/does something stupid and woman acts like he's said/done the funniest/sweetest thing ever and snuggles into him. Bleurk.

Another nonsensical advert was a 2022 public service announcement promoting Scotland' s upcoming Census. Coincidentally the brightly clad woman in a yellow fluorescent vest who features in one of the annoying Scotto adverts is, in this particular advert, trying to deliver a school on the back of a lorry to a man living in a cottage in what looks to be located in the Highlands. Everyone I spoke to about this advert couldn't make head nor tail of it either, and take-up on people taking part in the Census was very poor (despite the threat of being fined if you didn't complete the form/survey/Census)

I don't watch any adverts for which I'm very grateful.

Obv the pot noodle. That one for make up(?) Where 3 models were just twirling about or pouting at the camera. Caroline Herrera Good Girl ad. Anything about Be Gamble Aware. Just get off my screen.

I looked up the Virgin Atlantic one, as my husband said it was Mel C, apparently it is, her head isn't shaved, she's got it gelled back into a pony tail. The old woman at the end is Anna Wintour.

My pet hates for ads are -
"Oh hello Ted!"
"Hello June, here, have some bloody manky parsnips that have seen better days... "!!!

The Fixodent one where the couple on a first date grin inanely at each other and she talks more to the waiter than her date!

The Bold new outfit/chocolate milkshake one, she looks to be 12, the friends that come to call for her look in their 20s!

The Viking Longship holidays one, where you can hear her "smiling" while she's talking, except it sounds like she's one step away from totally losing the plot!

The begging ones and if they can provide fresh water in some African country for £3 a month, then why is my water bill £35 a month?!

Vogue Williams winds me up in all the Fairy adverts, like she's a total expert on perfect parenting and laundry!

And, finally, the constant adverts for female detective series set abroad, which are basically all the same theme, just different countries and actresses! Gggrrr!!!

Over and out for now! 😁
