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

I was going to say this. It annoys me so much I can hardly watch it. I often leave the room.

A radio ad for Viking Cruises, voiced by a woman putting on a terribly posh voice and how it's all so wonderful to travel.

I will never go on a cruise, and it's all down to that advert.

The Verisure one with the breathless woman saying my phone has died and we are alone in the house. How is she speaking to him then?

Scotto - I'd stick that cone up his arse!!

I haven't seen many of the adverts mentioned on here. And for that I am truly thankful!

There is a control box for the verisure alarm via which they can speak to you, or you can speak to them. Phone not necessary.

Ours sits on my desk.

My DH goes mental and turns the mute on when the 'this is my picture' theme tune to the my picture advert kicks in. He hates it.

The blind girl who calls her dog poppppyyyy

I think the dog is called Toffee, but that accent is incredibly annoying...what accent is that?

Yes her voice is so annoying.

The other advert for a blind charity with a thirteen year old girl pretending to be excited to be on Santas “nice list” is plain silly.

I also forgot about the dreadful advert for blinds where some bloke tries a dreadful impersonation of Craig Revel Horwood.

Most of them. All shot in bronze and turquoise. But the one I really loathe is the men's fragrance one, with some bloke pretending to steer a ship in his underpants.

the80sweregreat · 04/12/2025 18:09

The ad with the man in a sailor outfit and no top on and a lack of any waist has been on every year for ages.
I like to think that he no longer has such a god like figure and those tight white trousers are now in the back of the wardrobe.
Aftershave and perfume ads are always suspect.
They go for a more upmarket look and it doesn’t always work.

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

But not at the same time!

TigerRag · 04/12/2025 18:41

Generally speaking, charity adverts. And yes I'm aware it's cold out there and generally not very nice

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!

I hate the same series of ads, especially the bit where the girl says ‘party food for number 53!’ It’s the way she says party food, infuriates me every time!

ConnieHeart · 04/12/2025 21:24

Any ad where apparently it isn't Christmas without.....for example the one advertising Diet Pepsi on offer in Tesco. Hmmm i can get through Christmas quite happily without any thank you

Also the one with Stacey Solomon advertising very expensive looking watches & her saying how much she loves treating her family at Christmas, making me feel very poor indeed

Resurrecting my own thread to say “OMG! The Jude Law Uber Eats advert!!” Awful sick of the sight of it!

I havent seen that one thank god but basically any advert where some fool is grinning manically whilst electric toothbrushing their teeth standing upright and somehow not foaming at the mouth or getting toothpaste all down their front.

the80sweregreat · 26/03/2026 19:47

Teeth and toothpaste ads are never real are they!
I always end up with paste on my top or PJs if I’m not careful and teeth are rarely as white and straight as they show!

RepublicOfPirates · 29/03/2026 10:12

Yes! Jude Law chowing down on those wings, umm numm numm, disgusting
