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?

Jamie redknapp and his slip on sketchers. “As a footballer I’m used to it using my hands.”

Any McDonald's advert. The food is just so shit.

And that paddy power bingo advert. The one where they've raided the Bridgerton wardrobe.

My mute button works overtime. Ads come on - click.

All those bloody bingo adverts especially the one that uses the Todd Rundgren song I Saw the Light.

Great song, totally ruined by a stupid advert.

Numan erectile disfunction, Always ads, especially the Irish woman sitting on the lav, Dove ads, Verisure ads, any funeral ads, any life insurance ads, all the charity ads.

I do like the Pets at Home ad though.

Ads for washing pods that tell you to keep away from children.
I try, but the little buggers are everywhere!

And can you ever find a dog when you need one to use an escalator? 😆

So many radio ads. There is a really annoying Specsavers one about a jack in the box. It's on all the time and I hate it!

Lol, I say that every time I see these adverts and without fail DH will be confused and I'll have to explain the joke and then he'll patiently explain back to me that actually, they mean that the pods should be kept out of children's reach and it's a very serious message.

I know I should stop making the joke but it just slips out naturally every time.

My contribution is some holiday company, maybe a cruise ship with a father and adult daughter. The father is clearly having the time of his life, living for the moment and trying to, you know, enjoy the holiday for which they've obviously paid a fortune but the daughter keeps rolling her eyes at him daring to have fun and acting like a big kid when he sees a turtle in the ocean. She needs to loosen up and join him in enjoying the experiences. Turtles are awesome and adults can have fun too.

The one where the bloke fancies his girlfriend's mum I find really offputting. Is it Paddy Power?

I quite like the Haribo one!

I have to admit to finding the TV ad 'I don't go to Specsavers, they come to me' rather sweet.

I don't know, I found these ads pretty informative!
I'd been feeding them to the kids at snack time until they told me 😬

Any that feature affected 'urban' manners of speech, Curry's and GoDaddy among them
'It's only nahn nah'ey nahn'.

That gives me the rage because it's so Brits abroad behaving like shit to people because we're Brits. It's celebrating chav culture and it's no wonder so many destinations are starting to ban us or get pissed off with us going.

The JL insurance one with the boy in makeup rampaging around destroying stuff drove me absolutely nuts. I can feel the rage surging just thinking about it.

The EE Mobile ads, and any others that use the voiceover woman with the annoying shouty singsong voice to demonstrate how FUN she is. She embodies what I imagine a telesales person is like, just irritatingly hyper and aggressively upbeat all the time.

Laughing out loud at this- a perfect description of the lift ad!

🫢🫢🤣🤣

Oh yes the VodaPhone voice
Like nails down a blackboard
Always a mute as soon as I hear the tune

And “Bri-ish” - as in “100% Bri-ish beef”.

IT’S GOT A “T” IN IT!!!

The chewing gum one, with a person who has got an extra mouth on their forehead

The Lucozade one - all those people prancing about in a gym, with some song that's got stupid lyrics

The mobile network one, with a woman saying "Awww" all the time

This is why I pay to never see adverts. Thankfully I have not a clue about any of these horrors.

The EE one where the parents have to turn off the wifi to get their screaming brat kids to bed. If you have to go to the lengths of disabling the bloody electricity in your house, there's something sadly wrong with your parenting.

That and the bloody horrible obnoxious holiday family. Although I now finally feel fully vindicated in never ever wanting to go on those types of holidays, so that's good.

Any advert with a cute smart arsed child imparting their knowledge. The united utilities one scrape cooking oils in the bin mum, the dripping tap. ‘Did you know’.
insufferable.

All the ones for extra laundry aids that give you FRESH!!! washing, A Whoosh! of FRESH!! etc. Bloke in a bed saying OMG! because it’s so FRESH!!
How many people are actually paying more money for these extras that just put more artificial pongs in your washing?
