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

That Burger King one (or is it MacDonalds?) with the man sticking out of the schoolboy's rucksack. It's just "try too hard" and I hate it with an irrational passion!

Angela Sodding Rippon in a purple velour tracksuit and ankle tag doing stretches in her kitchen with an easily impressed Einstein lookalike...

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

I couldn’t agree more, @TurkeyLurkeyChickenLicken - who on earth thought it would be a good marketing strategy to say, in essence, “You are all so thick you don’t know how to pronounce Hyundai properly. Anyhow - buy our cars!”

Sky ad where the girl asks the boy to go to the cinema then gives him some stupid reply.
Another one for Dawn French and Angela Rippon ones.

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

Same!! Totally ruined the song for me as well. "It's the most wonderful time of the year, on the beach, on the beach, on the beach". Infuriating 😬

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

Thank god you said this. I cannot abide this ad.

Myfluffyblanket · 21/12/2024 19:04

The one with Brian Blasted Blessed banging on about 'all that cleaning' .
And Natalie Screechy Portman ...screeching .
Anything with a meerkat or AI generated vegetable in it .
Jeepers , I get grumpy sometimes .

One of the ads for non dairy milk. It’s just a man repeating the same sentence over and over again. It clearly didn’t sink in because I can’t remember what milk it was, but it’s exceptionally annoying.

God yes Oatley I stop it until I can fast fwd

I haven't read ANY posts yet but...

"You weren't supposed to burn the potatoes..."
&
"Hello UK... because santa can't read braille"

The second one only because if I had a blind child I would bloody well have learned to read braille and would be doing letters to Santa (and replying).

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 22/12/2024 13:41

"... I'm always myself".

Yes. A vapid, insipid actor that has done women a great disservice, Emma Watston.

I wouldn't buy any perfumes that she's linked with.

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

We all know the damn advert is coming any day now, I'm going for boxing day...

Have to scrabble for the mute button as can't stand the song then the people in it... just everything about it annoys me 😂

The woman with the silly voice and her stupid husband who send the daughter a jar of Branston, just send her the money instead of paying all that postage.
Beckham and his smirky face on the Lager ad, Twat. Who would believe he even knew how to turn on a Nija Airfryer on never mind make a dinner in it.

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

Ditto this ^

ohyesido · 24/11/2024 19:44

That Tesco add where the man involuntarily sings I've got the power! It makes me cringe for some reason

Our dog hates this one and barks like mad, so we hate this too!

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

The child painting in an all white outfit in a room with cream/white interior..aye right.
Can't stand letter box mouth.

Jostuki · 22/12/2024 17:27

The awful Maltese's adverts. Boycotted them ever since.

RaininSummer · 22/12/2024 17:28

That awful dominos oo oo one. If I bought their horrible good, I would stop in protest. And the one with the female shrieky singer. I dont know what it advertises as mute it as soon as she starts screeching.

nopenotplaying · 22/12/2024 17:30

Miss Dior

Nellieinthebarn · 22/12/2024 17:54

All the perfume ones, they are all boring, and just saying 'Men, don't bother about thinking about what your significant other would really like, just buy this expensive stinky liquid, like every other unimaginative man on the planet.' and by and large all 'celebrity' adverts, they are all money grubbing wankers.

I am tired and extra grumpy tonight. I might have a bath with a cheese and pickle sandwich and a glass of wine on the side.

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 😚🤭)

Yes! Grim. Agree about her sitting on his shoulders!
Another brand did one where they described the pants as "pretty" which was far-fetched but nowhere near as annoying as bulky pee pants lady!

Yogachick · 23/12/2024 09:33

And Dominoooooos will never buy them because of this ad. Pee pants as well,Maltesers yuck,creepy & can’t see how they thought old people/ any people talking about their sex lives in front of their family then one of them eating a sweet would make us think- yes I really fancy maltesers now. All the car adverts,zoopla.The John Lewis ‘ long awaited’-by who?- Christmas ad. Angela Rippon.
I think it’s most of them to be fair,they put me off rather than encourage me to buy. I’ve become a grumpy old fucker with zero twat tolerance I think🙄

Idontjetwashthefucker · 23/12/2024 10:19

That stupid advert for car insurance i think with the whistling

Mollypolly2610 · 23/12/2024 22:47

The Pandora adverts are so amateur and awful

TouchoftheTism · 23/12/2024 22:50

The same 3 on loop on GB News get a bit wearing. Selling gold, home removals and cask whisky must be all old racists are interested in.
