To get irritated by Haribo advert?

The adverts where adults are shown speaking in the voices of young children irritate me so much. What adverts really irritate you?

the maltesers one where she bites the head off the rabbit

QueenBean · 29/03/2015 23:24

Yeah that does my nut

Same with the Harry potter world adverts

The maltesers advert is ridiculous

The window advert "you buy one, you get one free" makes me feel ill, the man is so ugly and has such horrendous teeth

And the Flora ones are a hideous example on how not to do advertising, has put me off buying flora forever (if I wasn't already put off by the fact it's made of plastic)

TheRealAmandaClarke · 29/03/2015 23:31

All yogurt ads
All anti ageing product ads

I've been wanting to start this thread for days! That advert for 'Winner Bingo' - has anyone seen it? Seems to be mostly on the cable channels. It is without doubt the worst, cheapest, unfunniest, badly acted and corniest piece of televisual shit I have ever seen. Ever. I don't even know who the fuck 'winner bingo' but I truly wish they'd go insolvent, wither and die. Soon.
Aaaaaand breaaaathe!

Sparklingbrook · 29/03/2015 23:43

Noo, still Birds Eye shake it up fish finger burial/peas in the spag bol/burger bunny woman is the most annoying.

Or Babs and her blue balls.

FarFromAnyRoad · 29/03/2015 23:48

Yes. She really is gruesome isn't she - that stupid trade mark laugh that sounds like a boxful of mice on helium. Ghastly.

BishopBrennansArse · 29/03/2015 23:50

First time I saw the Haribo one I fell about laughing - sorry!
I want to shoot Babs with her bingo ads.

Floralnomad · 30/03/2015 06:31

Where to start
The wrinkle add where the mirrors have been hidden - do woman seriously get that excited about a face cream
The Allianz insurance add where they sing Karma Chameleon ( my current fave for worst ad)
The Andrex toilet roll one with the 'gold pants ' child
Agree with other posters about winner bingo ( most bizarre) and the Haribo squeaky voices .

TheRealAmandaClarke · 30/03/2015 06:37

Yy tha haribo one is annoying.

TheRealAmandaClarke · 30/03/2015 06:40

And all the toothpaste ones with dentists yacking on
And the corsadyl one where she pulls her lip up and examines the gap where her tooth fell out.
And all the ones that have a graphical depiction of germs/ dirt/ blackheads being washed away where there's always a few remaining specs.
And the cif ones. Bloody fairytale of cleaning.

VeryVeryDarkGrey · 30/03/2015 06:43

I love the haribo ones. Wink bingo is fucking annoying i always stare in fascination at how particularly gormless the last woman is

HonourableKortonRepresentative · 30/03/2015 06:51

I like the winner bingo one, that guy is hot Blush

That fucking haribo one though, I have to mute the sound. In fact I tend to do that for all ads.

flora717 · 30/03/2015 07:55

Ads. I hate ads. This is why I am frequently found (when wanting to watch something) to switch it on (mute) empty the dishwasher, mop the floor and hang out the laundry. Then I can fastforward through the bastards.

kali110 · 30/03/2015 08:03

The yoghurt adverts with nicole whats her face!!! They make me mad the most!!
Winner bingo
That window advert too, buy one get one free
Babs and her balls
Andrex advert

lollilou · 30/03/2015 08:12

All the bingo/gambling ones. I lose respect for any actors in them.

CherryLips1980 · 30/03/2015 08:30

All the above. Plus the loans adverts, especially the 'tailored to suit you' one, which ever company that is.

CherryLips1980 · 30/03/2015 08:32

OH!! And the Secret Escapes one.

STOP FUCKING WHISPERING

spanky2 · 30/03/2015 08:35

The gruesome nationwide advert with Kylie singing I believe in you. They are a money grabbing mortgage lender. When we applied for a mortgage they didn't believe in us we had to jump through hoops! Lilly kelly shoes also drive me mad with that grating cheesy singing!

MistyMeena · 30/03/2015 08:37

God, yes the Secret Escapes whispery one gives the RAGE.

fairyfuckwings · 30/03/2015 08:42

I don't get the money supermarket one. Why is a man in high heels and hotpants "so moneysupermarket" ? Is it something to do with being a tight arse?

HazleNutt · 30/03/2015 08:51

Maybe it's a rule that you have to have absolutely horrible, amateur ads featuring your own great aunt, who really wanted to be on TV, for Bingo? Galalalaaaa...

waterpump · 30/03/2015 08:55

verruca,dry skin on feet and fungal nail ads , especially when im eating .

BunnyCake · 30/03/2015 09:02

Child's Farm toiletries with the woman with the really babyish voice.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 30/03/2015 09:04

Nicole Shitslinger and her 'cute' yoghurt on the nose adverts .
