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

did not mean to do it 3 times don't hate the meercats that much! Blush

SuperFlyHigh · 30/03/2015 14:20

definitely - have a heart though poor Nicole is now single again after Lewis Hamilton dumped her

SunnyBaudelaire · 30/03/2015 14:20

lol definitely I also noticed the golden balls not covered in chocolate.
What is this thing about fucking yoghurt anyway? is it supposed to be a permissible 'treat' for us 'naughty' fatty women?

SuperFlyHigh · 30/03/2015 14:21

oh oh put hands up - ANYTHING with Nicole Kidman especially that new airline one... she completely and utterly gets on my tits.

SuperFlyHigh · 30/03/2015 14:22

Sunny exactly they make it like it's a treat and skinny cahs (sorry Nicole Shitzinger and Denise V O) have to orgasm over it so we'll eat it and buy it...

I'll take fruit corners then or Sainsbos 35p for 4 basics.

whippetwoman · 30/03/2015 14:23

I do love the Cillit Bang adverts. They are how adverts should be.

MummyRah2015 · 30/03/2015 14:27

Gotta admit, those adverts pale into insignificance when put next to the online 'Doctors hate her' or 'Wimbledon Mom discovers simple wrinkle trick that horrifies surgeons!' ads.

I'm supposed to be impressed? If something horrified a surgeon I'd sure as hell wouldn't do it myself.

0x530x610x750x630x79 · 30/03/2015 14:32

it only horrifies surgeons because it will attack their wallets.

HellKitty · 30/03/2015 14:37

YY to Miranda's hoovers. You're seriously getting on my tits now woman, what fun.

DidoTheDodo · 30/03/2015 14:42

And the expensive cordless vacuum cleaner advert with the brummy chap who allegedly invented the thing and he asks "What annoys you most about vacuuming?"

YOU. YOU do, you bozo.
I bet that contraption doesn't get into corners and edges of stairs.

Sparklingbrook · 30/03/2015 15:00

Tidy bales Dido. Wink

What? Grin - you think these are true? Grin Grin

There seems to be a consensus here about bingo ads and hotel industry ads. Do you think some of the more coked up execs should maybe stop and think about the shit they're putting out?
"I want to go to Venice.............can you show me how" - Darling, if you want to go to Venice and you don't know how you just ain't ready for leaving the house unaccompanied yet. So Fuck. Off.

I don't know about anyone else but I will never ever use the services of the companies that put out these lazy ads where women are always breathless, tossing their hair or about to pass out with excitement about losing their savings playing online bingo!

MummyRah2015 · 30/03/2015 15:12

Bingo Callers Hate Her.

mrsschatzepage · 30/03/2015 15:17

I find the little chef driving the little van in the Jacob's cream cracker advert really creepy.

Also now Dermot has lost the x factor gig he seems to be doing every voiceover available!.

mrsschatzepage · 30/03/2015 15:21

Oh also the patronising Halifax advert "Jackie your our kind of person" Still not as bad as the Halifax radio station atrocity from a few yearsw ago

SunnyBaudelaire · 30/03/2015 15:23

the one where some aging sports celeb - sorry his name escapes me - is in traction in hospital and he is eating some crisps which his teenagers steal and fold him up in the bed? sooooo annoying.

QueenBean · 30/03/2015 15:30

Oh actually yes mrschat the worst ones are the "Laura smith, you're out kind of person!"

I HATE advertising which basically tells everyone that they're completely average, with a completely average name and average existence. Like the ads that they use a plain looking man called Brian with the undertone that everyone can relate to these entirely average people

It's so depressing

itsnotmeitsyou1 · 30/03/2015 15:39

Can I add the current M+S Easter food advert? I usually love their food porn, could be pregnancy sickness though.

Bleeding Joe 'Underdog' Squeaky Voiced Git, just sod off Angry.

SuperFlyHigh · 30/03/2015 15:42

Sunny that celeb was be Gary Lineker. yes he is annoying.

SycamoreMum · 30/03/2015 15:50

Lorraine's advert with all the stiff people dancing

The kinder advert Hmm

The First Direct ad with the lizard HmmHmm

All PayPal adverts HmmHmmHmm

This isn't exactly an advert but I want to mention it anyway; the CBBeebies 'Whats on your plate?' Segment. I hate it. My DD loves Andy but I'm forced to leave the room when I hear that crudding song.

butterfly2015 · 30/03/2015 15:53

The m&'s ads are truly fabulous though.

Get in the bowl is said frequently in this house and the new one is so funny.

FarFromAnyRoad · 30/03/2015 15:54

That Halifax advert is so counter productive. I wonder who approves and pays for this shit? I can't bear to listen to it - the opening waffly sentence has way too many words in it - boring words leading to a huge non-event of a punchline.
Seriously who dreams up and actions these terrible ads? How much do they get paid for that?

chockbic · 30/03/2015 15:55

The one where the fingers get into bed.

At least sell your wares with a bit of effort.

mrsschatzepage · 30/03/2015 16:08

I wonder if they make them annoying on purpose so we will remember them. if i was laura smith i'd move my account!

DidoTheDodo · 30/03/2015 16:10

sparklingbrook I would like to get Mr Cordless Vac to EAT his tidy bales.
