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.

The Diet Chef one makes me scream. The woman talking to her fatter self.
Not only is she slightly (very slightly) larger in the 'before' bit, she's got spots, greasy hair and a downtrodden expression. And an ill-fitting baggy shirt and her posture is terrible.
And she talks to 'herself' in such a soppy way, almost crying. It's bloody ridiculous and really gives me the rage.
She was hardly massive 'before' yet it makes out that she's completely worthless just because she's maybe a size 12 to start with and gets down to a size 10.
It's an awful ad. Really teally awful.
Other's are just annoying. The dancing men in the money supermarket(?) ad, that twat Corden driving through green lights, the stupid woman complaining about her eyebrow, I can cope with those but Diet Chef makes me scream. It's terrible.

This is an old one but, that god dam Werther's original advert. There's no such thing as a CARAMEL SHOP!!!!!!Angry ( sorry for shouting Blush ) it really does give me the rage.

Ronnie Corbett popping round to deliver dinner to Gladys (82)... And all the life insurance ones. There's one with two ladies in the garden centre talking about somebody's favourite flowers, and didn't she have a lovely send off Confused

Theres a perfume one at the moment which is quite pretentious and arty, then they click a clapperboard at the end - that did make me smile.

kmdwestyorks · 04/08/2016 18:41

The man twerking in high heels. Vile.

Any happy mums greeting their muddy stinky footbally boys with a wry smile when they trudge through the house she spent all day cleaning.......why is she so beggaring tolerant!

MrsJayy · 04/08/2016 18:42

Apparentl the caramel shop is a translated advert there was a long thread on here about it

MrsJayy · 04/08/2016 18:43

Fern Brittan now pops round to George and Janets house for wiltshire farms gladys and ronnie have been shelved

Get your arse back here and explain :) have you had words with him???

KittensandKnitting · 04/08/2016 18:45

polkadots is that the same one with the men playing golf.... Arrghhhhh Angry

ImOnMyTumbleTap · 04/08/2016 18:46

Oh! I've just remembered! The Fairy Liquid advert where the child wants to use the bottle but the dad uses one drop for each day to make sure it takes "ages to run out"! Angry

I like the twerking men one Blush

MatildaTheCat · 04/08/2016 18:48

All the SanPro ads ever made. Floaty dresses, skinny white jeans and an expression of extreme bliss, ' Yay!! Best day of the month. My period has started!'

And they always use blue bloody ink to demonstrate the unbelievable absorbency of whichever product it is. Boak.

MrsJayy · 04/08/2016 18:51

I hate the sponsored by Always 1 thats running lots of girls playing rugby which is fine but why Always Why

FlyingElbows · 04/08/2016 18:53

Those bloody "ooooh, I can't afford a 40k funeral"ones. They're fucking immoral. The potential for fleecing people gives me the rage.

Geekmama · 04/08/2016 18:53

MrsJayy You made me feel a little bit better, so thank you. I still feel the rage though. Smile

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 04/08/2016 18:55

Kittens, it might be - in this one the men sit on a bench and laugh that they'll have their hands full with all the flowers (and life insurance policies) their wives are buying.

Tumble, I don't know why he bothered tbh, the bottle isn't shaped remotely like a rocket!

MrsJayy · 04/08/2016 18:56

Oh aye it is bloody annoying but that is why it was caramel shop.

KittensandKnitting · 04/08/2016 18:56

This is the same company it's like the pen insurance policies... Gives me the angry feelings Angry

ImOnMyTumbleTap · 04/08/2016 18:59

I have to say, I quite like the Cushelle one at the minute. It's obvious nonsense but it makes me smile. Grin

I too like the hot pant wearing high heeled man!Blush
The advert I hate the most and it's a radio advert is one that on all the time here. Someone phoning someone up to tell them how much money they've got for their mis sold ppi......hello Agnes, it's payment protection Scotland....
Agnes- oh aye???? Thanks so much byeeeee.
Have to turn it off when I hear it starting.

ImOnMyTumbleTap · 04/08/2016 19:01

I hate the insurance and pay day loan ones as well. Preying on vulnerable people. That makes me rationally angry!

Why have we suddenly started getting those ridiculously long American adverts in the UK? Repetitive and ridiculous! Angry

I fancy the man in the high heels. I'd like to see him in a proper suit. Blush

TortoiseVTurtle · 04/08/2016 19:07

That's a step too far actually shizzle

Mycatsabastard · 04/08/2016 19:24

I love the gaz and leccy adverts, they make me laugh.

I hate the sanpro ones, the 'people think I'll crack under the pressure' one, she looks quite scary and the stupid one where the girls is going down a water slide screaming so fucking loud I have to turn the tv down .

And the 'intimate health' one. Have no idea what it's for but we always say 'oh dp, how's your internet health?'

Hotels.com they can fuck right off with their Captain Obvious.
