Adverts that you hate!

I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole watching The Dog House on YouTube which I love but nearly every advert is for the Google Pixel 10 which compares iPhones to Ice Cream and it sings Sugar Town by Nancy Sinatra which is lodged in my head now and doing my head in. I’d never get a Google phone now, argh!

Anyone else?

Any advert that involves a bed with absolutely no bedding or pillowcases on it, particularly the one where the ignorant woman knocks over her partners cracker tower. Perfume ads - it’s not scratch and sniff tv you know!

actually easier to say ‘most of them’

The very creepy Audi advert where they sing ' I like to move it" Just weird.

FanofLeaves · 03/12/2025 18:26

I avoid most of them now as I don’t watch much live tv but when MAFS was on, that annoying couple on the TUI advert holidaying together. She was so smug 🤣 that bit where she got a massive 5 person dessert from the buffet and he tried to share and she goes all high pitched and whines errrrnoismineokayyyy?

For some reason it really wound me up 🤣

Omg OP, I came to say the exact same advert! Really annoying ear worm!

DarkEyedSailor · 03/12/2025 18:29

The British Heart one "you weren't meant to" etc. It's her voice. I'm sorry. I know it's an important charity and it's a loving message and all that but I have to mute it. So whiny.

The Grinch at Asda, Dawn French, The BFG, that fucking carrot, can all fuck right off.

I love the Keira Knightly one though, strangely.

JacknDiane · 03/12/2025 18:31

"What would you do for love?"

Feckin hate that one

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 03/12/2025 18:31

Yay, Solidarity! @ConnieHeart shoo shoo shoo FUCK OFF!

That one with Keira Knightley & Joe Wilkinson is getting a bit tiresome but at least she admits now that the cue cards scene in Love Actually was very creepy

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 03/12/2025 18:32

@DarkEyedSailor I like the Keira Knightley one too!

I always thought they weren’t allowed to say more than a word as they then got paid as actors. So she does it weirdly as all one word. .
Could be talking absolute bollocks though.

The Domino’s one really annoys me. Especially the hedgehog. We need more understanding of native wildlife, not talking hedge pigs that crave pizza.

Eyesopenwideawake · 03/12/2025 18:32

That fucking Audi ad. "You've got to move it, move it" while sitting in a fucking stationary car. Arghhhh!!

SpottyAardvark · 03/12/2025 18:33

The current Asda Christmas advert is pathetically bad. It’s the one with a bloke in a crap Grinch costume. I can’t imagine what their marketing team were thinking when they signed it off. No wonder Asda is struggling so badly.

I understand that I’m probably not in Asda’s target market, so it’s not aimed at me, but whoever it is aimed at, it’s still embarrassingly crap.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 03/12/2025 18:35

@SpottyAardvark yeah when I saw the ASDA one I did think No wonder MN hates ASDA!

The Pandora advert with the kid buying his mum a Pandora piece of jewellery. The kid is about 9. Totally wrong to encourage a kid to buy his mum such an expensive gift imo.

The very flamingos

Also Fairy seem to be running two opposing campaigns.

One where you can put anything you like in the dishwasher and their capsules will clean it - you don't even have to look at the resulting dishes.

Another one advertising a booster spray to help clean your dishes where the capsules fail.

Which is it Fairy?

marmitegirl01 · 03/12/2025 18:41

The god awful one where she screams Ian , Iaaannnn! Think it’s Tombola.

SunnieShine · 03/12/2025 18:43

The one with the snivelling ginger git who can't handle a holiday without his tins of beans. Have to turn the sound down. 😡

the80sweregreat · 03/12/2025 18:50

I don’t like the Pandora one.

FastFood · 03/12/2025 18:53

I don't watch TV but I listen to podcasts on Spotify and there's an ad for Shopify, the lady sounds depressed and I LOATHE when she says "entrepreneur" I hate that word with a passion.

100% agree but my bloody mother thinks it's great! She's probably their target market.
