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 tampon or pads advert! We don't want to bloody buy it! It doesn't change our fucking life if it's called tampon pearl/comfort/silk. We just buy the right size for flow Grrrr! Angry
And Vagisil advert always make me think it is some kind of sealant to stick your vagina together! Intimate itching phrase just make me want to vomit! No one is like 'oh saw this on telly what do you think Mike should I get some' ' well Val you have been scratching lately and the ad says it works' FFS if we have an issue we can speak to a pharmacy! Ok rant over sorry people! Blush

The constant over-dramatised shouty voice crap adverts all over BBC radio for their fucking Olympics coverage - awful.

KittensandKnitting · 04/08/2016 15:50

Biggest hate, any sanitary advert that involves a woman in a floaty dress, long hair usually on a beach with a horse and lots of comments about wings hate those. Like the new always advert though with the young girls talking about sport

The fabric conditioner adverts where women (and it's always women) lives become complete because of the smell of the fabric conditioner, and don't get me started on the Lenor bead scent bolster things I want to shove that woman in the machine

Tesco adverts - NO NO NO... Oh how funny he thinks she going to let him have sex with her... Oh wait for it.... She wants him to put up a bloody pole

Haribo adverts... Seriously I mean what the actual fuck!!

And so many more..,

Dover I fucking hate that advert too, oh Mike yes your right I have been scratching a lot lately, thank goodness this advert come on" I can imagine Mike saying "it's ok, I saw the advert earlier... Here you go" bet Mike has really white teeth too

Gosh I'm never angry :) but this has made me all sweary snd want to go and get a melon to drop :)

Barclays 'Life Skills' ones. Unbelievably patronising and pointless.

ImOnMyTumbleTap · 04/08/2016 16:05

Not just me who gets irrationally angry at adverts then. Grin

KittensandKnitting · 04/08/2016 16:14

Definitely not Grin this thread should have a trigger warning

Those life insurance ones "oh it was terrible Mabel from number 63 died but it's ok now because I signed up for life insurance and I got this pen" what about poor Mabel! Oh No it doesn't matter about Mabel as I got a pen

The travelodge one with those puppets, it's the puppets it's the signing - I've stayed in those places nothing about it made me want to sing

The admiral advert.... I don't think I need explain

And finally it's old and haven't seen it for ages but that hotel for you advert with the "ya all white coopcake" ugggh

dancetilldawn · 04/08/2016 16:54

That one where the girl tells her boyfriend "off you go" because he's been seen kissing another girl. I hate her voice. I can't even remember what they're advertising.

HeCantBeSerious · 04/08/2016 16:57

Malteasers. I like that one!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 04/08/2016 17:06

A bit more regional, but I HATE HATE HATE the advert on the radio for North Wales Beds. That bloody woman's weird fake-husky voice drives me insane with rage Angry Angry Angry

bamboobeanbags · 04/08/2016 17:16

I get so worked up by the Freeview advert with 'I dreamed a dream' as the music.
The song is about a woman who's life is desperately tragic and only getting worse, she dreamed of a better life which she now knows she will never get. But in the advert they make the song about dreaming about having more TV channels.
Drives me mad!

ImOnMyTumbleTap · 04/08/2016 17:19

I hate the online dating one where the person is sitting with an animal with awful puns about the animal.

I LOVE the just eat chinese food tonight advert!

Sorry.. Grin

1AngelicFruitCake · 04/08/2016 17:28

Squidgy - I like that one in a weird way. Is it just shown in the north west as I thought it was a regional advert? Before that wasn't Ken from corrie in that advert?

gaggiagirl · 04/08/2016 17:35

That fucking Lenor advert with the woman and her favourite cardigan.
Its the most bizarre piece of knitwear I have ever seen.
Fuck. Off. My. Telly. Ugly. Cardi!

TheCrumpettyTree · 04/08/2016 18:07

The Calgon adverts with the 'experts'. They just make me cringe.

ImOnMyTumbleTap · 04/08/2016 18:13

Oh yeah, and the Sensodine ones with the "real life" dentists. Not sure I'm convinced by this to be honest.

Secret Escapes. That whispering goes through me like nails on polystyrene.

spankhurst · 04/08/2016 18:16

Literally any perfume or car advert. Absolute pretentious shite, all of them.

Smurfnoff · 04/08/2016 18:17

What about the endless adverts that use the most tenuous methods possible to shoehorn in 'family togetherness'? The only thing they haven't tried to flog using cute children and lines like 'because family is all that matters' is the sodding contraceptive pill.

TortoiseVTurtle · 04/08/2016 18:17

All the malteser ones- how can someone be paid to come up with those? Time and time again they are utterly crap.

echelon · 04/08/2016 18:20

I HATE that payday loan advert, think it's QuickQuids or some stupid name like that, where the mother's off to work, her teenage son comes out and whines about the washing machine being broken so can't wash his uniform?
She muses then "clicks" her fingers as the solution magically presents itself! Let's get a payday loan!
Angry

TortoiseVTurtle · 04/08/2016 18:27

The payday loan ones are immoral- shouldn't be allowed.

topcat2014 · 04/08/2016 18:29

I know one of the actors on the Haribo one runs from thread

echelon · 04/08/2016 18:30

Tortoise - I agree

MrsJayy · 04/08/2016 18:32

The noddle advert i have no clue what its for does my head in

Any perfume/aftershave Ad they are just urgh

0%fat yoghurt ad with gaggles of women eating said yoghurt without feeling naughty.
