To be annoyed at these shocked fat free bitches?

Perhaps you'll know who I mean. Not sure what brand but there's a Greek Yoghurt advert with shouty/shocked women when they find out the yoghurt is Fat FREE!

In one ad, the man looses his control of the pottery. In the other he looses control of a bolder of some sort.

Equally annoying is the Oak Furniture land manager and his annoying assistant. Terrible ad. Maybe I'm just easily fucked off.

Biffs - that makes me feel nauseous too

topcat2014 · 17/04/2017 20:53

Random advert fact (2) - DD's friend's parent was in the haribo adverts speaking in children's voices.

MarklahMarklah · 17/04/2017 20:53

All the adverts piss me off!

But yes, the greek yogurt one is particularly annoying. Why is it only women that eat fat-free yogurt? Why is it only women that need remedies for constipation? Why are they all so bloody cheerful about it?

I want an advert that is honest. "We made this, it's quite good. Buy it."

Heathen4Hire · 17/04/2017 20:53

All insurance advertising is crap. We mute it when it comes on. James Cordon, dancing opera singers, dance-offs between larger construction workers and office types in hotpants, Russian Meerkats (wtf?), Female Admirals trying to cope with a crap script, and film stars popping up out of nowhere to advise clueless British folks about the benefits of their insurance policy.

STOP IT. STOP IT NOW. Angry

misscockerspaniel · 17/04/2017 20:54

The James Corden ad where he is parking a car and says something like "and that's why they call me the parking maestro" has me yelling at the screen, no, that's why they call you a wanker. And I have to mute an ad for blinds where the woman keeps clicking her fingers, the noise makes me want to throw up.

On the other hand, I love the Yorkshire Tea ads with the Kaiser Chiefs and the Brownlee brothers.

broadchurch in five minutes peeps - did I say I hate Seat cars!

I love the Money Supermarket ad with Skeletor and He-man !

Skeletor's chuckle at the end Grin

NeonGod73 · 17/04/2017 20:59

What I absolutely hate the most is the two skinny, moustached wankers advertising 118. I want to wring their fucking necks. Wankers.

Shitonmyshoe · 17/04/2017 21:00

Hate them all. Saw one for Aldi I think this evening with a naked young chap creosoting the fence and older lady next-door neighbour spying on him through a glory hole in said fence Grin obviously advertising gardening toys, pressure washers and the like

MyBeloved · 17/04/2017 21:02

I used to love the old virgin advert: "Mo Farah?"
Adding my voice to the hate fest that is the Shitslinger Yogurt ad.

AgentCooper · 17/04/2017 21:04

Scarlet, I love that Skeletor advert Grin Grumpy Skeletor on Twitter is the best thing in the world.

I hate the Haribo adverts, they make me want to dropkick someone across a room.

We were watching this series on Sky Atlantic about the 70s and every advert break had the same fucking Easter advert for some supermarket. A wee guy or lassie describing their perfect Easter. I'm not sure why, but every time they came on I'd start growling. And I don't even know what supermarket those ads were for, so they were completely ineffective

FurryLittleTwerp · 17/04/2017 21:05

I hate the Dulcolax one with the no-longer-costipated 40-something woman skipping out of her front door after having (presumably), big poo she might have ovarian cancer

I also HATE anything cartoony like the Gas adverts with penguins & shite, or toilet fucking duck FFS

Especially hate Nicole Sherzywhatsit, & her yoghurty or shampooey fake orgasms, but she's been mentioned already

Polly46219 · 17/04/2017 21:05

luckylucky that cracked me up! I think the same every time I see that ad Grin

FurryLittleTwerp · 17/04/2017 21:06

& look I'm so cross my spelling's gone to shite Blush Grin

Polly46219 · 17/04/2017 21:08

Yeah, that Dulculax advert where the woman has a really smug ive-just-done-a-big-poo face the next morning!

Oh and VIPoo - what are those brown donuts??!

Lynnm63 · 17/04/2017 21:10

I hate the go compare adverts with a passion. I have to change channels even the dc know to change the channel if I'm indisposed on the loo. In fact I don't think hate encapsulates the murdurous rage I feel for that company. I'd happily lock the executives in a room playing their ads on a loop until their ears bleed and they go mad.
I love the Yorkshire tea ads their Ace. Did any of you see their conversation on Twitter about their tea not being grown in Yorkshire?

Lunde · 17/04/2017 21:11

I really hate those daytime adverts for over 50s life insurance designed to scare the sh*t out of pensioners and convincing them that they need a policy to pay for funerals and to avoid "burdening" their families - the "funeral costs" are also inflated as well

Clandestino · 17/04/2017 21:13

My DD always shouts Mum, switch the channel it's that ad you hate, whenever Go Comapre is on. I hate that moustachy wanker.
James Corden in everything. He is awful

MyBeloved · 17/04/2017 21:14

James Corden is totally up his own arse

previously1474etc · 17/04/2017 21:17

Gurning Werthers woman, I hope her teeth stick together and her fillings fall out. And the miniature version of her too.

MissTakesOurMaid · 17/04/2017 21:19

The VIPOO advert makes my insides curl up and not in a good way Confused

The Halifax series where a cartoon character enters the store..

witchofzog · 17/04/2017 21:20

lucky She bugs me too. She bugs me so much I actually started a thread on her a few months ago. Bloody dim stupid fake woman

And Ellie Goulding has a niceish singing voice but I HATE her speaking voice in the Pantene advert. "Strong is Bootifool". Aarrgghhh!!

And the woman in the garden centre with the bobbed hair for over 50's life assurance talking about poor Jane and her funeral. She is an APPALLING actress. Her faux shocked face is the most annoying thing ever.

And breathe.... Blush

purplecollar · 17/04/2017 21:21

I signed up to use ITV player today and they wanted my dob, to decide which adverts they deemed suitable for me.

I'm convinced this is why I'm seeing adverts for planning my own funeral, reclining chairs. incontinence pants and will writing recently (i'm nearly 50). They're onto me on the tv box I think. Dh says it's because I watch ITV3 though.

Winterc00kie · 17/04/2017 21:24

"There's so much fun in Tofiffee" oh naff off
