Most hated adverts

[StockpotSoup]

I’m sure we’ve had this thread before, but there are always new shit adverts 😁

My least favourite at the moment is the new Sainsbury’s ad where the boy says, “Daaaaaad…” and the dad cuts in with “Don’t say it!” before the boy asks what’s for dinner. Flummoxed looking dad then turns to the camera and asks “Any ideas, Sainsbury’s?”

What’s that all about? Is it really an outlandish question for a child to ask? It’s not like he wants to go to Disney World. It isn’t unusual for children to expect to be fed, and quite why the dad is so bewildered at the idea of having to think of something when dinner happens every day of every year, I can’t imagine.

What are your most hated ads?

The Irish lady on the toilet for bladder weakness. Can’t stand it.

Dominos one I keep seeing on ITV

Yes, the shit Domino's ones where they go "domino hoo hoooo"
Fuck me, it's annoying.

On the beach with that awful family with the spiteful fat son....never did an advert put me off more if that's the type of people who go

The Betfair one with the annoying twat in yellow trousers singing a shit song whilst people inexplicably pretend to be interested.

Also the one for (I think) Tena where a woman deliberately wets herself doing yoga.

Yes to the on the beach advert. A commonly hated one on Mumsnet! I hate that they appear to have consciously chosen overweight people to appeal to the masses, then flip it with the exclusivity of being able to go to an airport lounge! Make your mind up!
I also hate the Asda one where a checkout woman is comparing the prices to aldi and Lidl. Just find her so annoying. A bit mean but I can't help it!

The Haribo ones where they’ve dubbed kids voices over adults. I expect it’s meant to be cute. It isn’t.

The click clack detergent adverts with the sickly sweet posses with babies, sniffing babies etc and the woman with multiple facial moles. All those moles give me the ick and surely she can afford to have them removed 😬

Head and Shoulders
Pure Cremation with those stupid people going 'oooh, that was a nice funeral? do you know it was Pure Cremation? perhaps we should get that!'
Verisure alarm ones that are a job creation scheme for drama school dropouts
On The Beach

Oh god, yes! You’d walk into traffic to avoid people like that, never mind actively choosing to go on holiday to the same hotel!

The mobile advert with the ‘awww’ lady.

Verisure - all of them are so wooden and badly acted
Fat family 'on the beach' - with the added irritation of a Paddy McGuinness voiceover
Lebarra - Max from Macclesfield and 'Can't bloody act' from Nuneaton. Awful drivel
Gossipy women eyeing up Ian Botham and his ability to walk thanks to sitting with his feet on a vibrating pad - I'm horrified that we are presented with his horrible bare feet without some kind of warning
Anything where someone is announcing 'I don't want a funeral and I've paid it all upfront so there's no worries'.

I've not seen it for a bit, but DH and I used to be enraged by one for a lift in the corner of your living room, where a very fit looking model in her 60s took the glass lift upstairs to collect a hoover - whilst her useless husband dropped cookies on the floor and then said 'whoops - while she's gone I'll just clear up the evidence' and got out a second, secret hoover that his deaf wife clearly would not hear. We couldn't work out why she'd gone upstairs in the lift to get a hoover if they already had a hoover downstairs. Neither could we work out why she needed a lift when she was a size 10 and clearly exercised every day.

Pure Cremation with those stupid people going 'oooh, that was a nice funeral? do you know it was Pure Cremation? perhaps we should get that!'

With the cheap funeral ones, it honestly feels like the rest of their life is a minor convenience to get out of the way before the joy of being cheaply cremated and then bunged in a Tupperware.

Supernoodles get me to mute very fast.

Radio:

the one about the florist who is bad at admin. Her voice is twee and nauseating.

the save the children ones with babies crying- I know it’s meant to elicit sympathy but it just makes me turn it over.

Dani Dyer and Surf.

The Purdy and Fig social media ads. They're so unbelievably cringeworthy

"I've traveled every road in this here land" Ruined a good song for me there.

Any YY to the supernoodles - Makes me cringe

Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy

There's one for extra chewing gum where the guy has a mouth in his forehead, it makes me feel physically sick. Just the look/thought of it is vile

I only watch the BBC so don't have to put up with awful Commercials.

Literally just seen a new one along the same line and it's jumped to the top of my hated advert list. Graze - don't listen to the voice in the back of your head with a weird hair mouth at the back of her head. Yuk.

Any of the Malteser ones.

We always mute ads on the TV. I hate the McDonald's one on Times radio, also th one for Vodafone, she's got a horrible voice. The fat family in the holiday ad are beyond frightful.

"I'd like a bar of chocolate please, it's for my mum" before handing over a pile of plastic crap. Any normal shop worker would tell her to get the hell out of the shop. I always have to mute that ad.

All of the Bold washing powder ads where they sing Spandau Ballet's Gold but with the lyrics changed. But especially the one with the dad going on a date and his kids watching him out of the window.
"Dad's first date in years, he needs his go to shirt to feel more extravert"
Aargh, I'm gagging just typing the words!

A radio one that says "booking genius" obviously meant to sound like fucking genius. When my children started copying it, I stopped laughing and instead found it annoying.

Another radio one. SELCO. It has to be shouted.

There was m&m ad with a weird cheating implication. I hated it at the time.
