Another annoying adverts thread

The Graze advert where she's arguing with the back of her head drives me mad.

The bulky pee pants/letting it all go one, makes me feel sick

The woman sat on the toilet with her pants round her ankles, to advertise a water bottle. Really?

Oh I hate that Graze one too. I'm also getting thoroughly sick of the PG Tips one,where what looks like identical twins are sitting at a table,one of them saying that he doesn't think he's up to his new job. Totally pointless and I can't for the life of me see what it's got to with tea.

TwattyMcFuckFace · 24/05/2024 18:10

That stupid twat with the puppet, skipping around the garden in shorts and wellington boots.

Annoyingly catchy song, but he looks like a weirdo pervert! 🙈

TigerRag · 24/05/2024 18:40

5 action keep advertising Skin A&E. It's horrible especially when eating

XenoBitch · 24/05/2024 18:57

The Three advert, with the lady looking at her phone and going "aww" to the music,

I also hate the Graze advert. Why is the back of the head mouth not choking on all that hair?

LadyLindaT · 24/05/2024 18:59

I agree with all of the OP's mentions. The Graze ad is spectacularly bad, as not only is it unpleasant and annoying, but I didn't actually register what is was for, so a total fail on every level.

Floogal · 30/05/2024 11:58

To be fair I like the graze advert and the chewing gum adverts with the extra mouth on forehead screaming. So surreal and funny. The PG tips one is ok
But I those 'pee pants' women seem so smug. And this poor guy is letting her sit on his shoulders at the gig 🤢. And yes, why take a bottle of water with you to the toilet and leave it on the cubicle floor? I put a thread up a few weeks ago about the Andrex advert. Where the woman is about to go for a shit and everyone is staring at her. After she just farted.

BarcardiWithGadaffia · 30/05/2024 12:11

I can't imagine the meeting that approved the Graze advert, did they actually pay money to someone to come up with that?

RDMPrules · 30/05/2024 12:16

On the beach using a Christmas song pisses me off because I just get the actual Christmas song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
Also the radio ad for Lenor (?) where Stacy talks about her BBQ apron stinking. WTF.

That bloody water bottle advert really disturbs me, I mean WHAT!

Mrsjayy · 30/05/2024 12:21

I just saw an advert for a drink called Tripp and it goes on about being relaxing and calming it's going to be annoying .

LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway · 30/05/2024 12:34

Yeah the Graze advert is daft, and I also LOATHE all the adverts for piss-pads, and the idea that any woman over 45 pisses herself when she sneezes, laughs, exercises, or breathes a bit heavy. The one with the woman on the shitter with her kecks down is horrific.

The 'gerrem up there gurlsz' ad for tampons that was pulled after a few months was hideous. SO glad it was taken down.

Funny thing is there are loads of similar piss-pads products for men - but they are never advertised with a man sat on the shitter with his kecks round his ankles! Hmm Only thing advertised for men is viagra, and that is always after 9pm. Womens piss-pad adverts seem to be on a lunch time, and tea time/dinner time.

Also loathe with a passion the 'spit blood in the sink' ads. (Usually for Corsodol.) They are vile, and are ALWAYS shown at mealtimes too!

May I also add the 'every answer is BINGO' ad during the break of The Chase?! Dreadful, unfunny, stupid ad, with the unfunniest and most annoying 'comedienne' I have ever seen.

The chewing gum ad with the screaming mouths on the forehead is hideous.

As is the ad for Three where the woman keeps going 'awwwwww' at pics on her phone. I mute it EVERY time.

I also hate the afternoon ads, advertising insurance plans, retirement plans, funeral plans etc, with the worst actors and actresses I have ever seen.

At least Pot Noodle took the hideous slurping sound off their ad!

And the Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy ad seem to have reverted to just one 'Daisy!'

Maybe the ad makers are starting to listen to the public! 😆

I think Stacey is talking about Surf if it's the same advert I am thinking of.
"Everything purfs with Surf"
Purfs ! ,what the feck is purfs?
Can we just chop any word up now to suit a advert ?
It's even on the bus stops near me .
Her whiny voice annoys me too .

Ok rant over .

bluetopazlove · 30/05/2024 12:43

I don't watcha lot of Tv but why do all those women piss-pads ads always wind me the fuck up . It just makes them look like they were thought of on the back of a fag pkt .

the80sweregreat · 30/05/2024 12:58

The one where the mouth is on top of a persons head. No idea what it's advertising , but it's horrible

Chewing gum.

I hated the Pot Noodle one which thankfully has been amended. There's another one showing now where the guy shouts for ages, think it's Dunhelm but could be wrong. His voice yelling and holding that one note really gets on my nerves and I have to pause it.

The sponsor ad at the start of Lorraine gets my teeth on edge too for some vitamin drink. The sound of pouring kettle water into a cup and then the whir and clank of the spoon....grrr...

It's me, isn't it😂

mydogisthebest · 30/05/2024 13:01

I hate all the ads mentioned above. The one where the woman keeps going "awwwwwww" makes me want to throw something at the tv.

I also dislike the Pandora ad with the female singer singing "To Love Somebody". I think she sings it badly and also instead of singing "you don't know what it's like" she sings "you must know what it's like".

Ads that use songs I like and ruin them annoy me so much

the80sweregreat · 30/05/2024 13:07

The man in shorts with the purple puppet popped up the other day with a different advert ( but advertising the same thing , if that makes sense) so I think the people behind this weird ad want the puppet to become a bit like ' Mr blobby ' or a national treasure figure we grow to like or even buy! I can see them making soft toys to buy.
To use it to sell patio doors is odd ( as is the dancing about )

Floogal · 30/05/2024 13:22

The updated Otex adverts. They have been going for about 30 Years but still gross going through the close up labyrinth of ear wax

Blondiebeachbabe · 30/05/2024 13:24

The Louise Rednap advert for skin cream. Can never understand what she's saying? As patchy as a world map? Why is a map patchy? Also, why does she speak with a little girl's voice and can't say her R's properly? Can't watch it without squirming.

LOVE the new advert for Nationwide though. The one with Dominic West. "They cant even spell Banker"....."That's not Banker"....."Oh"

I think that Dunhelm one you're talking about is S-a-la-le Something-or -other isn't it ? It should just fuck off .

The ad for slip on Skechers! The two people that advertise them, Mylene Klass and Jamie Redknapp, clearly just can't be arsed faffing with footwear! I'm quite disabled at times with my back, but can still manage to do my trainers up! And what's with the not wanting to touch shoes?! Don't get me wrong, great idea, but the way the narrative is presented just grates on me! Bloody stupid advert!
The Twix one with the bears that they resurrected too, that annoys me, because bears would have gruffer voices than that!!! 🤣
I do love the Nationwide ads, very amusing! Muffin me!!! 🤣

TinkerTiger · 30/05/2024 18:35

Can I add a radio one? Danni Dyer going 'whaaaat's thaaaat smellllllllllllllll?' In an incredibly annoying voice. Why does anything think this is what we want?
