What adverts is everyone hating atm?

I can't stand the Curry's one where they go oooooo for ages, I have to tell DH to mute it. Seems to be a new one and beyond irritating

Octopus energy, the woman's voice is so sanctimonious and it's on almost every single ad break on the car radio

Jet2 listening to Jess Glynne screeching

I'm sure it's time for THAT family to reappear in the poxy holiday advert for on the beach, I hate that song too and have to mute it

The pot noodle one where they slurp it loudly. It's horrible, I have to mute it immediately.

I don’t have a TV so escape most of it but I do see constant ads for perfume this time of year. So bizarre. Some kind of power ballad music and a famous person then the bottle of whatever it is on screen with a stupid voiceover announcement.
All the adverts tell you is that it exists and will be expensive because it’s being advertised. Couldn’t they at least say if it’s woody or floral or 8 out of ten people love it or something.

GandTtwice · 24/11/2024 20:54

Yes! the octopus energy woman's voice makes me turn off/over every time I hear her.

moggerhanger · 24/11/2024 20:59

That one with Sleazy Depp farting around digging holes.

GroovyChick87 · 24/11/2024 21:01

The Amazon one where the theatre staff buy one of their colleagues a jacket and he sings on stage to them the most boring song in the world. There's a slightly extended version that's even worse.

Yogachick · 24/11/2024 21:03

Yup,Tesco,Hyundai(never gonna change that pronunciation) what the world tuxedo man,Daisy fucking Daisy,Natalie Portman dancing on the table,Boots Christmas one for trying so bloody hard,Aunt Helga,Fairy & Vogue,Febreeze ,Jet2. & that family,betting /bingo ads-still gambling,yes the stupid phone one where he reads out reviews,We Buy Any Car,the Tui one as well.
I think sometimes it’s that they’re shown so much,it gets to overkill. But sometimes they’re just really annoying. It’s the only thing I miss since cancelling Sky,being able to fast forward through the ads on recorded stuff

That advert makes me feel out of breath and like I’m gonna puke, all at the same time. I hate it!

Fairy laundry detergent - it's Vogue Williams. I don't buy it anymore as I keep seeing and hearing her if I look at it.

Edited

She annoys me so much!

AdviceNeeded2024 · 24/11/2024 21:34

On the radio I hate the octopus energy ones with the woman saying “you’ve been bwilliant, you’ve all been bwilliant” or the posh bloke saying “for an energy company you’ve really worked it out” or whatever he says. Urgh.

I also hate the on the beach one that will no doubt start next month with the awful kid looking smug while clearing the buffet and stuffing his face in the airport lounge!

Middlemarch123 · 24/11/2024 21:35

Agree about the Vogue Williams one, “with toddlers in the house “ makes me cringe, and yes the Amazon one with the singing and jacket man.
I like the Crap loo roll one though!

ruby2019missyou · 21/12/2024 12:37

The one on TV with Dawn French complaining that she doesn't have M&S Christmas food. Hate it!

OvaHere · 21/12/2024 12:42

Purdy & Figg. Only see them on YouTube fortunately but the adverts are awful. Does anyone actually buy that stuff?

Ceebeegee · 21/12/2024 12:45

Another vote for octopus energy. Hate the voice over, and hate the fake customer phone ins .
It's played on absolute radio all the time , it's making me turn off the station!

Daisy daisy daisy 😠

Oh god yes, this one drives me absolutely
insane! They seem to have changed it this year thank goodness!

TurkeyLurkeyChickenLicken · 24/11/2024 19:35

The hyundai adverts where they keep telling people how to pronounce it correctly.

I agree, it's like let's be superior and patronising and then expect people to want to buy your cars.

PermanentlyTired03 · 21/12/2024 12:48

Marc Jacob’s perfume ads. Awful!

slightlydistrac · 21/12/2024 12:49

Daisy perfume. Teenage girls all over each other and cavorting about in skimpy white clothes. Again.

Printedword · 21/12/2024 12:50

LindorDoubleChoc · 24/11/2024 20:36

That one where the cleaner is singing "what the world needs now is love sweet love" on the stage and someone watching buys him a tuxedo from Amazon.

The long version of the Boots one is pretty annoying as well.

Having looked at tuxedo jacket options on Amazon quite recently, I can confirm they were all absolute crap. So it's terribly fake

Moier · 21/12/2024 12:51

Dominooooo oooo oooo
Drives me mad.

NoGwenItsABoxingDayTrifle · 21/12/2024 12:51

The Marc Jacob's Daisy one, why are they all in the sea holding perfume in the air?!? Beyond stupid.

NoGwenItsABoxingDayTrifle · 21/12/2024 12:55

And the Amazon one, where the Theatre Usher buys the cleaner a suit jacket. I don't know why but it irritates me, I hate the smug look on the ushers face at the end. I'm aware this is probably me being unreasonable but I find it patronising.

It is and also wildly inaccurate as tuxedo options on Amazon are not very good

Tracystubbs · 21/12/2024 13:24

Every single bingo ad
Panda bingo,alien bingo,wtg bingo-they can all fuck off

Dawn French for m&s

Fairy washing tablets

Flash mop adverts

The ad where the father is going out on a date and needs to wash his shirt-why only put one shirt in the machine?

Illjusthavethebreadsticks · 21/12/2024 13:39

The lottery one with the girl in the cinema who looks at her phone to reveal she's won the lottery and then gasps dramatically really irritates me.

The Rhiannon's perfume one with her horrible shouty voice and the Natalie Portman crybaby for same reason.

SkyGrant · 21/12/2024 13:40

Radio adverts Octopus energy ad nauseum. People praise how wonderful they are and at the end there is person who at the end of advert speaks in a strange high pitched voice!
I would agree with earlier posters the Haribo ones are cringeworthy
