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?

I dont watch tv.

Yes the farting woman in the office. There are so many adverts with people on the loo these days. Advertising creatives seem to be incredibly childish right now.

There's a new one for Graze with a woman with a talking back of head.

So many adverts have pudgy, middle aged blokes with beards.

However, I've noticed that adverts explicitly aimed at men seem to not need the diverse cast. Unlike the women's ones. Men's razors and deodorants etc still have model types. Plus only women seem to eat yogurt and have cats. Dogs are for families and men. Such stereotyping still.

Just seen the David Beckham and Thierry Henry one. That's bad.

The people in the bed (one at a time ) in the middle of a field wanting to know what detergent the sheets were washed in.

The woman who throws back the duvet shouting WhatIsIt makes my hand itch

"And you - what would you do for love?" I actually think it's the background music that makes me so angry - that, "WOOOHHHH, BAYBEHHHHH" bit arrrhgh

The "eat em to beat em" getting kids to eat their vegetables one.

Trying to make eating vegetables look like some sort of amazing game, as if kids are really that fucking stupid

Flash

This one is always on at a stupid time too, like 9pm - what young kids are going to be watching then? Makes me wonder if it was too freaky to show before the watershed.

Aah ah

Meerkats I can tolerate, but that tiresome wombat? No.

Maybe it's my tinnitus getting in the way, but I literally cannot understand a word the two fishermen types in the boat are saying.

The McDonald's one with the guy eating the burger and going "Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmmm" for what feels like eternity. I have to mute it.

The activia TLC (tummy loving care) adverts make my skin crawl

Any hair/skincare adverts with some secret ingredient with a made up name.

Wait what?? Thierry Henry? Off to youtube 😍

Jet 2 and Jess Glynn's shrieking on it. Cannot stand that song

The pot noodle slurping, I have to mute because it makes me heave

On the beach and that bastarding fucking song and smug actors

Just reading the thread, yep Dominos hooo hooo drives me crackers

All the online gambling ones- I think they're utterly shocking and should be banned.

Exactly what I was going to say - makes me want to rip my ears off

Oh yes the walkers crisps one at football- crap.

And thank the lord above for that annoying blonde woman telling me to keep washing liquid pods away from children.
Without her advice I was thinking of adding them to the children’s lunch boxes.

Is that the Darling Hold My Hand ?

I hate the thought of being dragged (by anyone) someone doing that would get a hefty slap on the forearm .

And the one that is vitamins for dogs ( I Like The Way You Move music) at the end the stupid tit of a woman being pulled along hysterically laughing by her dog .
Run with a dog beside you or walk . But being hauled along by an out of control hound - nope .

90% of them are awful . Particularly bad at the moment is the Andrew fart one which occurs at every ad break on Sky cricket ( I mute it ) and the one for ladies incontinence pants where she then sits on the man’s shoulders .

I'm not a fan of adverts which massacre the music to well-known songs in order to fit in with the advert slot time.

Nor am I all that keen on ads for face creams and whatnot where they have invented some spurious pseudo-scientific name for its active ingredient in order to impress the gullible.

The ‘Who Gives a Crap’ ones (for loo roll) which follows various squishy, jiggly, ‘cuddly’ ladies bums sashaying in cycling shorts into lavatories.

Yuck.

Especially when it's obvious that the model or celeb or whoever doesn't have any moisturiser on her fingertips and is simply stroking her face to make out that she's using the product.

I think it's for Graze snacks, a woman having an argument with a mouth on the back of her own head. Ugh.

Haribo cops with childrens voices and one with a guy singing/humming to a burger - got to change channel every time
