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?

oh god I hate that trivago ad too.
Was it the one in Venice where she is acting like a drugged up loon flapping her hair off the balcony and talking in that really annoying breathy voice?

Oh, and the Soreen 'You're my little yum yum' thing really freaks me out!

Ha ha just seen someone else gets just as annoyed as me by that Trivago advert fruityb!! Glad it's not just me!

I'm finding the Lidl advert irritating at the moment and it's plaguing me on YouTube. It's the one where people are eating food in a nice looking restaurant from a menu with no prices and then people are asked to give what they'd pay for it and people are shown paying £160. Then there's the big reveal that the food is from Lidl and the lamb only cost £10 for all of them. I just find it so misleading because they've not asked for how much they think the ingredients were worth. Not a fair test!

HellKitty · 30/03/2015 13:04

Agree with the Lidl advert, especially the bit where the nasally voiced woman asks 'where's it sourced?'

The chocolate bar ad with Audrey Hepburn makes me sad. She's dead so couldn't choose whether or not to advertise this product. I find it a bit creepy as well.

There's one on Irish TV for laser eye surgery that is annoying in how often it's repeated. It's not voiced by an actor so the woman who does it sounds quite nervous, and the pacing of what she says doesn't sound natural. It's fine every now and then, it just grows a little more annoying with every time I see it.

Oh where do I start?

The singing bloody orange/loan ones

The toffifee smug kid one

The werthers masticating woman remembering her childhood

Nicole's nose

teddy being very, very not well actually

'Trust us,you're doing great,' formula one.

All chugging ads as they make me feel guilty that I can't support every cause.

is that really Audrey Hepburn in the Galaxy ads then? I thought it was an imitation!
Really annoying ad. Surely down in Capri or wherever it is supposed to be the chocolate would just melt in your handbag leaving a nasty sticky mess?

butterfly2015 · 30/03/2015 13:17

Put your hand in the fruitbowl.

Seriously fucking annoying advert.

SuperFlyHigh · 30/03/2015 13:19

Denise Van Outen with Liberte yogurt... no. 1 she gets on my nerves, no. 2 why call it liberte like freedom and she's having a fucking orgasm no...

give me Nicole Shitzinger anyday!

SuperFlyHigh · 30/03/2015 13:21

My eyes - that one with Lorraine Kelly on JD Williams advert. Now I fucking can't stand her... and then the woman salsa-ing or whatever in the advert. Piss the right off now...

think i've got PMS

SuperFlyHigh · 30/03/2015 13:23

HellKitty - yes the Peter Andre at iceland ones too makes me want to burn the TV...

Sparklingbrook · 30/03/2015 13:23

The vacuum cleaner one voiced by Miranda. First time it raised a smile, now I just want her and her 'cordless 'tis a lovely word' to go away.

SuperFlyHigh · 30/03/2015 13:27

Sparkling yes that one is annoying.... not in my top 10 mind you...

SuperFlyHigh · 30/03/2015 13:28

Disclaimer I meant Denise Van Outen is not having an orgasm but it's like she is over the yogurt... those ads seem to have gone off now... bliss.

BitterChocolate · 30/03/2015 13:28

As far as I know that Galaxy ad is lifted from an Audrey Hepburn film, and the only bit that isn't her is the bit where you can actually see the chocolate. They use somebody else's hands and mouth for that. That's why there's no full face shot of her eating the chocolate.

The cobra advert with the woman's voices saying The Boss. Really, really annoys me.

I've Googled it, and it turns out the whole thing is CGI. Still creepy though, creepier if anything.

WyfOfBathe · 30/03/2015 14:05

"Haribo macht Kinder froh, und Erwachsene ebenso!" sorry...

I hate the yoghurt ones with Nicole Scherzinger. I really can't see the sex appeal of yoghurt.

WrappedInABlankie · 30/03/2015 14:11

That stupid advert where he buys a tv/game station/car Ect and the postman's like "how can you afford all of these" ITS NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUISNESS!!b

I would just like to add that Nicole Shirtswinger says "with chocolate coated golden balls" while the screen clearly shows gold balls! So they must be golden coated chocolate balls, not chocolate coated golden balls.

That gets more irritating every time you see it! You're all welcome.
