So I'm watching the telly while DD lies in her cot refusing to sleeptakes a nap and the Muller advert came on. The one about the winning gold for £50,000. There is something about that advert that just gives me the rage. I have to mute the telly and close my eyes until I predict it's over.

"I never won gold at the olympics but now I'm your Fairy GoodMuller, you can!" Argh!!!!

What adverts annoy my lovely Mumsnetters? Doesn't just have to be telly.

Any advert where they have plinky plonkified a well known song, usually sung slightly out of tune in a breathy voice.

milkyface · 04/08/2016 14:27

Stupid just eat singing ones! Absolutely cannot stand them!

HeCantBeSerious · 04/08/2016 14:35

The cancer one where the woman lists things that are £2 (including a packet of crisps which is nothing like £2).

The sanitary wear one with the Masterchef voiceover woman.

Anything where cars park themselves.

Nurofen ads that claim the same drug in different packaging can target different kinds of pain.

milkyface I was just coming on to mention the Just Eat ads, I could shove a chicken madras right in that woman's face! And as for the Backstreet Boys chicken saaataaay' one...

The bridesmaid one with really big weird mouths makes me feel sick. The kid shouting pineapple, if he was mine he would be getting a slap cheeky little twat. In fact most of them, although I do like the meerkat ones still.

thesnailandthewhale · 04/08/2016 14:44

The Lloyds bank one with the black horse - I don't mind the actual ad but can't bear the woman's voice singing (Birdy - Wings) - it reminds me of sitting through an awful primary school play with someones little snowflake squawking and screeching their way through a song, that ad gives me the rage every time.

And just to make things worse, they then brought out another ad and have hammered Mad World Sad.

TanteJeanne · 04/08/2016 14:46

Yeah... Like Nicole Scherzinger would ever eat an atom of that muller chocolate shite

ImOnMyTumbleTap · 04/08/2016 14:46

Reading all of these replies reminds me of all the adverts I hate. Grin

I don't care, I love watching it the foxy bingo ones at the ad breaks on Jeremy Kyle, where someone does something wrong then they dance in pairs, makes me want to fucking scream

George199 · 04/08/2016 14:47

The new one with Corden driving and getting all green lights makes me want to hurl my telly out the window :) There was a terrible one a while back, it was for frozen spuds and involved a sneering smug woman single-bashing another woman in a supermarket. Grr :)

Any that have babies and toddlers as little adults in boardroom scenarios for example.

The worst recently has to be the Cortana advert with Clean Bandit - so unbelievably wooden and cringe making.

PinkPearls20 · 04/08/2016 15:03

I love heels in shorts man!! Hes so sassy!

I'm sick of the Oak furniture land adverts

'I wanna knock...on wood!!' Angry

ArtyKitty · 04/08/2016 15:12

Foxy bingo. Smug arse.

fruityb · 04/08/2016 15:20

Those Disney ones with the James Corden voiceover - "Star Wars people" of "come on you Gotta love Nemo". I really dislike that man.

And the whispery woman on secret escapes makes me punchy lol

Gottagetmoving · 04/08/2016 15:21

Face cream adverts to keep you looking young ...but the bloody model is about 26!!
Or women looking happy because if they sneeze and 'leak' - their reliable panty liner will catch it. Yeah,..you are happy it doesn't wet your pants - but not happy enough to be thrilled!

JayDot500 · 04/08/2016 15:22

All perfume ads are a farce.

helenatroy · 04/08/2016 15:26

The haribo ones with the adults talking in baby voices. Want the train they are on to crash.

RCAR · 04/08/2016 15:28

The Subway ad where the guy has taken the woman there on a date and starts worrying that she might 'order the entire menu'. What the fuck - does she look like she's going to do that? Then he says to himself 'please go for the £3 meal deal, please go for the turkey and ham, please' and when she does - 'phew!' Jesus Christ big spender, you've only taken her to bloody Subway.

LadyBaelish · 04/08/2016 15:29

Quorn with Mo Farah sounding like he's struggling to read a really terrible script. To be fair that's probably exactly what was happening!

I don't know if they're still on, I haven't seen one for ages (thank God) but Secret Escapes with the whispering used to give me the rage.

And on the radio, McDonalds breakfast with the guy mis-pronouncing things and correcting himself "Eccon...egg and bacon". Nobody actually does that!

RainyDayBear · 04/08/2016 15:31

That "Was I beach ready? Of course I was beach ready!" one. So. Much. Rage.

TellMeSomethingNew · 04/08/2016 15:31

Anything with Nicole Scher-what's-her-face in it!

TellMeSomethingNew · 04/08/2016 15:33

Oh and that BLOODY ANNOYING ClearBlue one. Especially the "You've already been to the doctor?!" part.

helenatroy · 04/08/2016 15:34

Anyone who took me on a date to Subway would end up in a shallow grave.

TroysMammy · 04/08/2016 15:39

The Ruth Jones Ben Miller Tesco ad.
The geezer and rhyming words ad, no idea what it's for.
Health Lottery.
The yogurt ad when the woman screeches "fat free!"
Canestan cream for thrush. Always on when I'm eating.
Saniflo the word macerator makes me feel queasy.
