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

Fage yogurts bloody annoying

sweaty betty I think it is drives me to rage

Any adverts featuring older single women! They are inevitably for incontinence products or life insurance which is of course all we ever think about after a certain age!

Lunaballoon · 21/12/2024 13:49

All the perfume/fragrance ads that have been repeated endlessly since about October. As soon as I hear the one with Janis Joplin shrieking Baaaabbbbyyy! I hit the mute button.

The food delivery one with the prawn noodles. It’s so effective I can’t remember which company it is for.

Natalie Portman Dior one.

Johnny Depp aftershave in the desert one.

That IONOS advert with the Aunt Helga woman saying “I scoot off now” I can’t. I literally can’t stand it.

Not picking a fight here, loads of people hate that one and I’m massively intolerant of almost every advert 😆but for some reason I like that woman and thought about it the other day because I haven’t seen her in ages. Even though I did stop and watch it I have no idea what an Ionos is tho. A vacuum cleaner? Cryptocurrency?

A boiler insurance one on the radio - not sure if there’s a tv version. It goes “your car insurance doesn’t just cover your bumper, your house insurance doesn’t just cover your (can’t remember what) so why does your boiler insurance only covers your boiler?” Ermmmm Confused It makes me shout at the radio.

Morrisons. The increasing volume of that stupid, overblown music is worse than annoying.

And the bloody dawn french fairy godmother carrot adverts

The Australian guy shouting that sometimes running a business can feel like running a marathon. (Marra-THON)

All betting/gambling adverts

Edited

He's a kiwi! First seen on Flight of the Concords!

The Philadelphia one where their advertising team has gone with the inexplicable move to not explain how tasty the food is and what one can pair it with, but that if you eat Philadelphia you will have friends Confused

Also the Tesco I’ve Got The Power ones. Fuck you Tesco

Ah, but the Philly advert has David Essex singing Hold Me Close. I'll forgive anything with him in!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 21/12/2024 14:12

Not a TV advert but I'm increasingly enraged by the Boden advert on here at the moment , three women all smiling , except the one on the left has a Blow-Up-Doll mouth on her <ugh>

Hopefully it'll be gone soon.

Pedallleur · 21/12/2024 14:57

Vogue Williams with her white clothes and perfect children.
Betting/gambling. It's fun but know when to stop. You can put breaks into your gambling. How about not advertising gambling?
Car ads where lovely people drive their car on endless beautiful roads where there is no other traffic.

Middlemarch123 · 21/12/2024 15:00

That one for a perfume but I can’t remember what it’s called, where they are like mermaids and one with red hair is crying. Daft.

Dominooooo oooo oooo
Drives me mad.

I came on here to say this! I have to mute whenever it comes on 😤

Shityshitybangbang · 21/12/2024 15:21

The Natalie Portman Dior one. I mute it every time.

coolkatt · 21/12/2024 17:09

Domino's no more to say Angry

ZiggyZowie · 21/12/2024 17:11

The Boots one with that black woman that was in Bridgerton, showing a shoe with 'Bitch' written on side of shoe.

She's cock eyed and horribly smug

HomeAlonely · 21/12/2024 17:12

I'm irritated by the Nutella ad where they go through various options of where to put their Nutella.

They get to a little boy who says he likes his on crumpets - and then they all laugh. I mean - WHY? What are you laughing at! Everytime it comes on and they laugh I say (to myself) "what's funny about that?!"

Spidey66 · 21/12/2024 17:14

The Amazon one with the theatre janitor getting a new blazer to sing on stage. Love Amazon, hate the ad!

I love those ads 😁

thenightsky · 21/12/2024 17:20

Not TV, but that ad that keeps popping up on MN for me that links to soft porn. Its called Sexy Women in Sport or something. I've cancelled it off about 6 times today and now they've given me Dignitas instead! Not sure which is worse.

CountingDownToSummer · 21/12/2024 17:23

The On The Beach one where the son is being a little shit and the parents are just letting him

I've vowed to never book an airport lounge after seeing this family Grin

menopausalfart · 21/12/2024 17:49

Any perfume ad winds me up, especially the J Depp one.

Middlemarch123 · 21/12/2024 17:54

And the Burger King one with the head in a backpack.

Lifestooshort71 · 21/12/2024 18:00

Pee pants, pee pants, pee pants!! Particularly the one where this mature woman is at a gig and sitting on the shoulders of some random bloke with her undercarriage full of an evening's pee - poor guy, that'll be a surprise for him 🤢🤢🤢

(My favourite ad is the Hugo Boss cologne one with Chris Hemsworth - golly gosh, he looks right into my eyes with a proper smoulder, phew 😚🤭)
