to ask what adverts drive you mad

[sixtylicious]

There are just so many adverts out at the moment which I can't stand. I think my worst, for now, are the seemingly endless series of sexy yoghurt adverts, especially the Nicole Scherzinger ones where she is constantly getting yoghurt on her nose and giggling about it. URGH!

The yoghurt advert with Nicole Scherzinger where she is getting yoghurt on her nose drives me mad too.

Why. Is she married to George Osborne? Who is she. Is she famous in own right.

I'm well known amongst friends & family to have a virtual ad-blocker in my head so most of these are unknown to me. But that fucking pussycat dolls one (not 'do you think I'm sexy' btw but don'tcha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?) gets right up my nose. Not only do I then get the worst song ever as a day-long ear worm, the ad is just so annoying with that bloke's arse-padding and high heels. Grr.
Any car ad is wasted on me as well. What am I saying? Any ad at all is wasted on me.
Oh apart from the supermarket ad (forget which one) with the elderly woman showing us the teas her husband likes and how 'I don't like tea, I like gin'. Yup. I like that one.

The laundry expert one with the scent balls you shake into the drum. have you seen the price of a bottle of it? Also the advert with the little boy who says 'they bought this house so they could have me' yuk!

The J Lo go 'Bronde' (what the -?!) advert has reminded me how much I hate all celebrity hair dye adverts. As IF Cheryl F-V / Holly W use a box of dye on their hair. That just makes me so cross. I think of all the young girls thinking they'll get results like theirs (which are actually courtesy of hugely expensive celebrity hairdressers), I don't understand how it is even allowed.

applejacksauntie I totally agree about the laundry expert idiot woman. Can't stand being encouraged to believe we need to buy all this extra stuff for fear of being substandard. Who on earth has had a problem with freshly washed clothes not smelling nice? it's just an invented problem!

Anything with Cheryl Cole in it makes me automatically not want to buy their product.

I also love the Aldi one with the pensioner and her gin though.

The cheesecake vs yoghurt advert the poo yoghurt adverts the nicole thingy adverts (there is a pattern emerging) the robinson boy growi ng up advert is creepy. I love dave in his heels though

I hate the Vista print advert with the over earnest driving instructor banging on about "putting out quality" Just say you are very pleased with them and move on. Also when the florist woman says "its prop-ar" it makes my toes curl.

Anything Davina advertises especially her face cream

argh! the Robinsons growing up one is one of the worst at the moment. They way they chase after him singing!

Whenever those Vanish "tips" come up I shout PUT SOME VANISH ON IT.
Who needs "tips" on how to put Vanish on things? Stains, put stain remover on, it either works or it doesn't. Surely it doesn't take a Facebook page of 500 tips?

My MAJOR hate is that tiny dog running exhausted round the streets after its glamourous lady owner (surely Saint Jessica Ennis wouldn't be in such a vile ad?)
"Exhaust yourself exercising, and we'll give you a few pence off." What if you get shin splints? I imagine all these injured people sitting on the sofa trying to rest and worrying as the price ratchets up on their health insurance because they set the price based on going to the gym 5x a week and now they can't go. The ad makes me anxious just watching it, for any poor sod who might get sucked in because they identify with the beautiful speedy runner dancing along, not the poor little dog struggling to keep up. (You can see my fitness levels from how I identify with the daschund.)
Truly dreadful ad and dreadful product concept.

sixtylicious As if Cheryl V-F/Holly W use a box of dye on their hair - EXACTLY. It may well be illegal, but I think people have to complain for the ASA to investigate. That's what happened with the Penelope Cruz mascara ad where she was wearing a tonne of false eyelashes but they made out it was down to £9.99 worth of mascara - as soon as people actually complained, it was taken off.

StickyProblem I have a strong suspicion we would get on in real life!

We also shout put vanish on it tip exchange must be a hive of put vanish on it

Oh the health injury adverts are sinister loads of disabled people looking sad then delighted when they get their money

It doesn't "drive me mad" so to speak but that HSBC advert with the "pink ladies" never fails to make me well up!

I recently flew to San Francisco and I never sleep on long hauls so just watch films instead. They showed that advert before EVERY movie. Total nightmare!

Magnum adverts - they just don't make that horrible noise when you bite them in real life! My kids always turn up the volume to watch me squirm as it's like fingers down a blackboard to me!

Agree with the Nicole S ads too!

'Little chocolate balls' - honestly?!

The dettol laundry sanitiser one boils my piss. "If your baby ever chews their clothes you NEED this product or they will catch TEH GERMS!!!!1!!!"

Because we all know children's wards are full of poorly babies having caught horrible illnesses from clothes germs

londonrach - sharon osbourne is married to ozzy osbourne of black sabbath fame. They had a long running TV series documenting their lives, they have several kids and dogs and sharon was an x factor judge in the UK for a while and I'm sure she was a judge on Americas got talent too. She's very famous

The laundry expert one with the scent balls you shake into the drum. have you seen the price of a bottle of it?

In fairness though, those wee scent balls are AMAZING - totally worth every penny, but t has to be the blue ones!

I turn the telly at the magnum advert i cant cope

Londonrach unneccessary to use the word old when talking about the lady at the end of the advert. Apart from being ageist Sharon Osbourne is only 62.

Brian the robot and The Meerkats. It's gone on too long now and it was annoying in the first place.

That weird yoghurt lolly thing.

Anything to do with cheese strings.

The new Tango one is annoying.

The caffine shampoo ones. What is it supposed to do?

Yes to Vanish, Dettol, yoghurt and hair stuff.

Anything about bingo/ppi/insurance/charity/payday loan is making me. Kinder advert is like they are both bit simple. Laundry expert - yeah right. Any yogurt advert with balls or 99 calories - .
Vax Air Cordless Lift with Miranda Hart's voice and some model looking lady acting in it. It's like imagining Pavarotti singing voice on Harry Styles.

I do love Dave advert. I wish I could walk like that on high heels.
I also love love love Müller Rice adverts. My DSis does bear dance every time the advert is on.
