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.

I rarely see ads as I record everything. I only saw the dog ad because I was at a friend's.

But you say JC is in some ads & there's a naked fence painter...I might have to start watching the ads! 😋

i can't abide the holiday company advert where the boy (about 7-8 yo , so old enough to know better) is pulling someone along ( song is "Darling take me hand" or something)

DD always says to me "You want to just slap his hand and shout Stop fecking pulling me you ill mannered little git, I'm not going any faster just to please YOU ...... " and she's not wrong Blush

None of today's adverts ever wind me up as much as the Courts adverts of the 80s / 90s

I don't think advertisers realise that instead of getting us hooked on their product, they often have the opposite effect, which is ; no I won't eat your bloody yoghurt, I refuse to buy your insurance, and there's absolutely no way I will sit in your shitty car as long as you keep advertising it with wankers and cunts who give me the murderous rage.

Actors like Fatso in Go Compare always make me think: he went onto the stage thinking he was going to be the next Olivier. And now look what he's doing!

LaLaLolly · 17/04/2017 21:27

Red house. You'll sing it too. Forever.

topcat2014 · 17/04/2017 21:29

@Andrew - he is a welsh tenor and has been in Phantom of the opera - so managing to keep afloat, I expect,

FrauL · 17/04/2017 21:32

My current bugbear is the Go Outdoors advert and it's shitty cover of "Go West". The words "Good" and "Mud" dont even come close to fucking rhyming... Hmm

Andrewofgg · 17/04/2017 21:32

Oh, I don't doubt he is making money - but so did "dear Larry" and somehow I think Fatso hoped to be rich and respected.

FrauL · 17/04/2017 21:33

Sorry - should say "its" and "don't"

Winterc00kie · 17/04/2017 21:33

I used to love the gold blend ads late 80s/90s with the couple that fell in love! Xx

fruityb · 17/04/2017 21:34

His name is Wynne Evans and he's been in all sorts of operas

Gabilan · 17/04/2017 21:37

I think the reason some of them look like they're miming is because they're dubbed European adverts.

I hate almost all adverts. If I ever actually hear them I'm quite surprised by that they sound like.

NinahH · 17/04/2017 21:40

70isaLimit I imagine he cut the hand off and he's carrying around like a kind of trophy

NinahH · 17/04/2017 21:40

I hate those bloody pilots too

Itisnoteasybeingdifferent · 17/04/2017 21:52

If something is advertised... I refuse to buy it because I don't want tonspend my hard earned on bloody stupid ads.

Slothlikesundays · 17/04/2017 21:53

I loved the dog advert when I was pregnant. Those hormones have gone now and I see it through everyone else's eyes.
I hate any bingo adverts, but the worst by far has to be the one with Barbara Windsor. Awful.

MycatsaPirate · 17/04/2017 21:53

Favourite adverts are the credit score ones with the boxer dog. He has such a brilliant face!

Crap ones are (in no particular order) the go compare in the plane (just fuck off), the andrex one with the clean as gold pants (irritating little fuckers those kids) and the greek yoghurt ones.

Also all the Tena lady adverts where we get a lovely close up of a middle aged woman's arse clad in brown slacks. There's just no need.

sk1pper · 17/04/2017 21:54

Ahhh OP, your post made me laugh.😂

TwentyCups · 17/04/2017 21:55

The recent radio advert about NMW increasing made everyone in my office particularly murderous.
'I'm getting a pay rise!'

GOOD FOR BLOODY YOU!

It was quite bonding for us all as s team actually.

TheNoodlesIncident · 17/04/2017 22:02

Oh gawd the ads wind me up something rotten

WHY do people not know the t&cs and specifics of their insurance policy that they need Harvey Keitel to come and tell them what their cover includes? Didn't they read their policy?

Where did all the dirt go off that damn Flash dog go?? He shook it off everywhere for sure, but wouldn't he still have been dirty before he had a bath?! And if he had been bathed, why did the bath still look spattered? And where do they get those mops and cloths that magic dirt away, so you don't even have filthy rinse water??

And that annoying Vileda mop woman - GIVE YOUR DS DIRECTIONS TO THE MOP TO CLEAN UP AFTER HIS FILTHY SHOES, HE'S NOT A BABY YOU KNOW. And why isn't he cringing at her pretending to play air guitar on the mop? Honestly!

To the giant who discovers Jack has had his Weetabix - why don't you eat the rest of his box of Weetabix you muppet?! Watch the little maggot squirm then...

The woman who "didn't know Oral B even made a toothpaste" - why don't you join forces with that imbecile who asked her dentist if an electric toothbrush is better than a manual? You're soooo well matched. If you're so hazy about dental care, why don't you have hideous green teeth?

Toilet Duck: no more germs, no more worries? I am not worried about germs in my lavatory, we use it for getting rid of crap, not for banqueting!!!

Dulux your paint may be wipeable but that doesn't mean all that dirt can be wiped off the sofa, the rug, the girl's dress, the dried flower arrangement...

I also get irrationally annoyed that crisp packets, for example, have clearly never been sealed; the neat opening at the top is so untypical of a real crisp packet and somehow that really enrages me... Blush

Gosh that's better. I do actually enjoy ads and getting worked up by them

haveacupoftea · 17/04/2017 22:07

Any advert with whistling. Bank ones are terrible for whistling.

Trying to convince us Beth Jordache works at Halifax now

No chance

DeanaPiana · 17/04/2017 22:09

So glad I've managed to gather so many like minded, raged people given my thread title is a little misleading Grin

To the giant who discovers Jack has had his Weetabix - why don't you eat the rest of his box of Weetabix you muppet?! Watch the little maggot squirm then

Yep, giant should eat the box and punch the bastard down the beanstalk.
