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?

New car ads where they swan around town in their lovely new car with not a single other car in sight. No speed restrictions, no traffic jams of gridlock, no parking problems right outside their favourite restaurant, etc !

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

Came here to say this!!!! Absolutely hate it!

Gettingbysomehow · 03/12/2025 20:43

Any advert where some woman is deep throating a single chocolate while having an orgasm and then has to get up and dance immediately to work the calories off.

Ihateboris · 03/12/2025 20:50

The fucking Currys one which starts with someone screaming. I have to mute the TV..

And don't get me started on..."Daisy Daisy Daisy

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

I have concluded that he farted all the way over on the outward flight and the passengers in the seats nearby stole his suitcase so he didn't blow off all of the way back too.

Joeninety · 03/12/2025 21:02

Ferrarosha chocolate adverts.

luckylavender · 03/12/2025 21:08

The verisure ones and the direct cremation ones

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.

The one with Vogue Williams is particularly irritating - she’s married to a multi millionaire, Pippa Middleton is her sister in law - as if she does her own bloody washing!! Come on!

FairViewRosie25 · 03/12/2025 21:19

Mmmmmmmm Maggis

All the sad, depressing adverts featuring hurt and abandoned animals.
I can't bear to watch.
I do support animal charities financially but these adverts seem to be a regular feature of channel 5.

Catsfredwilma · 03/12/2025 21:34

That painfully excruciating series of adverts with Dominic West! Great actor, been in some great things, but those cringey adverts are utterly dreadful and he is awful in them. However much they paid him, it wasn’t worth it.
The crap one (maybe for mattresses?) where the lame woman declares that with the money they saved they can now afford to buy her an engagement ring, whilst
boyfriend sits there looking uncomfortable. Lazy, predictable, drivel. It’s pathetic.
Any foot scraping filmin! I seriously don’t want to witness anyone collecting their foot scrapings into some revolting appliance. No one needs to see that.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 03/12/2025 21:54

Yes @Catsfredwilma - he must’ve really needed some cash sharpish for a tax bill or something

Those adverts really are unintentionally funny. I can’t believe that anyone is stupid or naive or gullible enough to actually respond to them. I suppose there must be or the scammers, sorry ‘charities’ wouldn’t pay for them.

The whining fella who looses his suitcase of baked beans when he goes on holiday

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.

Hated extravagant funerals, but his ashes would be spinning if he saw all that left over food!!! I don't think anyone touched that trifle!!! 🤣🤣🤣

MoonWoman69 · 03/12/2025 22:24

My two hates are - the speed mop one with the weird looking bloke! If he opened the door to me after he'd mopped the floor I'd do a runner! There is something odd about him!

The McDonalds advert which appears to have Vicky McClure as a sports reporter on the TV, where she says "Someone mention fries? I'm in!" I absolutely hate that advert with a passion and I don't know why!

Oh, three! The Molly fucking Mae one! Too twee and false, along with the other one with Vogue Williams. Smug and annoying.

Aaagghh, four! Do women really sway about in the living room, clutching two babies, in their underwear, with their piss pad visible? Then the blue water being used for pee on the pad. That and red dye being poured on sanitary towels is not necessary, we all know how they work thanks!
Not many ads I do like to be fair!

Friendlygingercat · 03/12/2025 23:17

That upset stomach advert with the bright pink bottle and everyone grabbing their arse while screaching 'DIARRHOEA' They all appear to be in minimum wage jobs, Something going on there.

The bunch of man sniffing one another's arses in a mock rugby scrum.

Also the ones for period and incontinence pads. The woman on the yoga mat
t complaining about her "bulky pee pants". Next shot she is sitting on someone's shoulders in a night club. Hopefully not wearing her old pee pants.

PInkyStarfish · 03/12/2025 23:26

Sage Accounting. The woman appears to be doing an impersonation of a mentally disabled person by suddenly speaking in a very slow and exaggerated voice and opening her mouth very wide.

It’s disturbing.

Yes! God almighty — i know what diarrhoea is! I don’t need a phalanx of actors costumed as Ordinary Folk in work clothes, uniforms, hi-vis etc grabbing their asses to demonstrate! And the woman who squeaks ‘upset stomach’ makes me want to punch walls.

Other than thst, my ire is mostly for perfume ads. Especially Johnny Depp looking greasy and Natalie Portman jumping off a cliff and saying ‘And you? What would you do for love?’ And I think it’s Jean-Paul Gaultier? The one with ‘Casta Diva’ and some sea goddess and nymphs messing with camp sailors. The bit with the crying nymph bothers me.

MrsSkylerWhite · 03/12/2025 23:34

Pepto Bismol. Really don’t need men in high vis and hard hats singing about diorreah (or however you spell it).
Or tampax saving someone’s life.

Gingernaut · 03/12/2025 23:35

Radio ad - On the Beach - It's the most wonderful time of the year

Now it's actually December, it's like a double whammy - that fucking song is everywhere

whatawalley · 03/12/2025 23:48

The indeed one.

God I hate it and have to mute or fast forward it every time.

Agggghhhh!!!!

ItsmeMargo · 03/12/2025 23:49

I completely agree with the majority of adverts mentioned on here.

For me, I can’t abide the one for Purdy and Fig: I can’t remember exactly how it goes, but there’s a voice that says something like, what if cleaning wasn’t cleaning, what if it was… Jazz? Makes me wanna punch the pretentious tit.

The other one is for soup. Not sure what brand. Something about a young man making his meal whilst his mother is in Ibiza/Tenerife/whatever… And she’s dancing around in a bar, drunk and braless. And it makes me wince. I’m large chested and it makes me fold my arms over my chest and keep them under control.

MeouwKing · 03/12/2025 23:57

Anything with "Bulky Pee pants"
