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?

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.

And it looks like cheap tat.

Came on to say that one with Sh Sh Sh Sh Sugar town, OP!

That new one for Curry’s where there’s a wind blowing, or maybe it’s their breath? Either way, it’s very annoying.

Natalie Portman one for perfume with that awful singing.

And also adverts for denture/false teeth glue, showing people gurning and biting apples etc

All the betting adverts on Amazon Prime, every add break there’s at least one, Amazon are trying to turn the nation into gambling addicts.

Domino o os

This! And the one where they’re in the bath actually makes my skin crawl.

The Dior advert - What would you do for love? As if jumping into the sea is any big deal.

How about being a lone mum and getting through surgery/chemo/radio, while continuing to work full time and making sure my young ds knew nothing about it.

Or a mum I know who has supported her disabled son, fought the LEA to get him into appropriate education and held everything together while being financially abused buy her git of a husband.

Dior doesn't have a clue the everyday feats we all manage without a full makeup crew on standby and air brushing out any inconvenient flaws. Real mums are brilliant. 🤗

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

Yes! Portraying a perfect life!🤮

Who has a laundry room decorated to match their washing powder?…

And any period, urine leak, incontinence adverts.
Comes from my childhood when I would have been mortified to see anything like this on tv whilst sitting with family. I just want my privacy. ( I know, I know - just our body, shouldn't be thinking that this should all be private, but I do).

Mejustme01 · 03/12/2025 20:08

The john lewis one,the dad and son look uncomfortable make me feel uncomfortable and for some reason it feels passive aggressive like they dont have a good relationship but oh dad reminiscing about a tune makes it alright.crap.the m&s dawn french one,read the room for once m&s,shes an antisemitic only backtracking after being slaughtered online

the80sweregreat · 03/12/2025 20:10

The John Lewis one with him playing the song has such a creepy guy in it and reminds of old government ads for ‘ don’t drink and drive ‘ ! It has a weird feel to it.

Tittyfilarious · 03/12/2025 20:13

That dreary woman on the tombola Advent can't fucking stand it

Missingthesea · 03/12/2025 20:18

The Corsodyl one with the two women screaming at each other in the mirror.

TheFormidableMrsC · 03/12/2025 20:20

The Specsavers ad with blind Bev who needs taking out frankly 🤬

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

Is that a Scotland-only advert? Ach, you'll never beat the one about the lad in the wrong job advertising a Toilet Sale... Lived there twenty years ago but still remember: 'Hey lavvy-heid! Yer getting' it!'

RobinHumphries · 03/12/2025 20:21

The advert for the geely car. The little girl is so rude

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

Me too but the guy with the beard who winks at the end is quite cute! 😬😃

NotInMyyName · 03/12/2025 20:23

I turn over or mute to avoid the TUI song. Holding hands or something. Just stop it!

AND the pepto pink indigestion one with the gang singing diarrhoea (just came on whilst I was typing that).

AND posh expensive mattresses. Which leave customers too skint to buy sheets or pillowcases 😱

Great thread. V funny 😁

the80sweregreat · 03/12/2025 20:30

The corsodyl ad is annoying
I mute loads of them tbh.
I like the Argos doll and dragon thing though
the doll is cute

the80sweregreat · 03/12/2025 20:30

The elf’s for the Tui ads are annoying too.

It is a Scottish only one.
