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?

Also every single funeral plan advert. "Dad always talked about how he hated extravagant funerals."

Did he? Did he really? Get away, you ridiculous woman with your over-emotional facial expressions, trembling voice and stupid kitchen.

Marc Jacobs perfume ads. At least they've stopped doing that Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Fucking Daisy one. But the new one is also crowded with fey giggling grown-up little girls who seem to have been told to act like it was super-sexy to be a fey giggling grown-up little girl

And the one for the Perfume Shop where the woman impersonates her teenage daughter and then buys Daisy! I think it’s the Perfume Shop I could be wrong

That upset stomach advert with the bright pink bottle and everyone grabbing their arse while screaching 'DIARRHOEA' 😱💩.

Gillette .. the best a man can get.
Then they say it again.
grr

MyThreeWords · 03/12/2025 19:02

Oh and the ads with those stupid influencer-type women smugging on about washing powder in their pastel-and-white houses/clothing. And then scolding us about the need to keep Persil (or whichever it is) out of children's reach because the manufacturers have decided FOR NO REASON to squish it into little multi-coloured lozenges that look exactly like sweeties.

I am being bombarded by about 8 different gambling ads atm. I never gamble…..
The k beauty, glass skin era boots advert is tiresome.
My current absolute hate is for the domino hoo hoo one.
And the bloke mansplaining about menopausal weight loss.

Current better adverts imho….
Asda grinch
Sainsburys BFG
the Keira knightly ones
funky pigeon dot com
the quorn ones.

the80sweregreat · 03/12/2025 19:03

The pepto bismo one is dire ( diarrhoea)
The actors up the back look embarrassed to be in it

the80sweregreat · 03/12/2025 19:04

The KK one with Joe Wilkinson is funny! I love it.

Okiedokie123 · 03/12/2025 19:04

@MyThreeWords Molly talentless Mae, daughter named Bambi. Urgh.

Oh yes, actually. This one. Definitely. Low, low, low like the Mariana Trench

There are a series of radio adverts for United Utilities, with a boy and his mum. He does this revolting giggle at the end of each one. It makes me angry!

333FionaG · 03/12/2025 19:10

The BFG one especially when the girl says 'it's Christmas, we'll make room' oh fuck off, love, Kevin the carrot's wedding, Dominos - I will never ever buy a takeaway pizza from them thanks to their awful ad, Dawn French's M&S ad...I really need to upgrade my streaming services to be ad free!

OSTMusTisNT · 03/12/2025 19:12

I'm pissed off with Aldi ruining Kevin by having the awful Scarlet Moffat on some of the ads.

All Xmas ads are shite this year.

FictionalCharacter · 03/12/2025 19:12

All of the above, plus I detest the toothpaste ads that have actors grin in the mirror and run their tongues over their teeth. I find that repulsive. And I don’t believe anyone does it!

"Play the Scotto"

if you know you know....horrendous

I'd like to ram that traffic cone down his throat.👍😁

crumpetandcoffee · 03/12/2025 19:15

The Geely advert with the girl with big glasses. Sooooo annoying

Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride · 03/12/2025 19:15

That feckin bleeding awful, irritating train advert with the muppet and the fat boy slim song. Fuck of to the back of beyond. Realistically it would be "yeah, we're overpriced, overcrowded, unreliable, but hey, what you gonna do? Walk?Suckers!"

Velveletteslonleylonelygirlami · 03/12/2025 19:17

The funeral plan your one where the guy is in the bath and wife outside the bathroom.
Smart cookie that Millie..fuck right off and stick you're ..sausage rolls.

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.

No it’s actually just one word that counts as a ‘line’ and gets you more money- I was an extra on skins back in the day and all the club/party shots where we just danced and looked wasted in the background we got paid £40 a day. I had a line once! It was ‘move’, I think. The director told me to go and have a chat with production to make sure I got my £70 that day 😀😀

BruceAndNosh · 03/12/2025 19:29

The chewing gum ones with the mouth in the middle of the forehead. Makes me feel icky

Okiedokie123 · 03/12/2025 19:30

As well as the domino hoo hoo one, also the domino’s super creepy bath one.

I came to post about this one. What fucking idiot decided we all want to see a fat old man in his bath? Why? It’s gross.

The Dominoes one I just don’t understand why it’s meant to be funny.

I also hate the perfume ad where Natalie Portman is “singing”

Bloody love the Kiera and Joe advert though, it’s super cute.

Broop · 03/12/2025 19:34

I’ve literally just switched channels to avoid what’s possibly the worst advert of all times: it’s fir I think bold washing liquid and it’s a voice over whispering which makes me absolutely LIVID for some reason. I’ll never ever buy that brand now (tresemme had an ad with whispering a couple of years ago and I’ve stuck to my guns/cut my nose off to spite my face and haven’t bought anything of theirs since)
