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.

purplecollar I thought it was perfectly suitable for a 31 year old to watch repeats of Downton Abbey on ITV Encore until I noticed the David Nieper adverts on all the time in the breaks Sad

@blue, to be fair Brookside hasn't been on for a while, so, desparate times.

Nicole Shitslinger!! Grin I millionth the hate for the fake bollocks.

I especially hate the ad where the dad is banging on about life insurance whilst watching a video of himself on a beach, his son is sat on the sofa with him, deeply uncomfortable. Hate it.

I'm sure I read somewhere that go compare man had made a million or two so I dont think he's too bothered about what he's currently doing.

I have a soft spot for go compare man. My DD when she was little and had less of the attitude she now has Grin used to stop and sing to it every time. DS did too come to think of it. So I'll let Wynne off.

Another one of those ads that irk me is the girl using her parents savings for back up for mortgage lending. Woman says "As long as you keep up your repayments, they'll get interest on there savings"

Thanks! I will. So she says. Bet the fucker doesn't. Bet she fucking doesn't!

Oh yeah. Kevin Bacon in Britneys catsuit. Have some self respect man.

giggleshizz · 17/04/2017 22:20

I can't believe no ones mentioned "you buy one you get one free" yet (feeling strangely nostalgic about it now).

321zerobaby · 17/04/2017 22:24

I can't stand the Warner holiday adverts (no kids holidays) where grandparents are basically child hating. Makes me cringe. And stabby!

MadameDePomPom · 17/04/2017 22:29

Oak Furniture Land ads are THE WORST! Gormless 'comedy' employees knocking on the shite boxy furniture whilst a backing singer sings the shiteous Knock On Wood in the most rage inducing key. 'Oak furniture land ads' will be my defence if ever I go on a killing spree. And I will get off.

The enthusiastic ginger tit from the Oral B ads will be on my hit list.

I like the Go Compare ads though so chubby Welsh man is safe.

Iwantacampervan · 17/04/2017 22:29

The one that's really annoying me (probably irrationally) is the smug Airbnb - 'we booked a whole house but ended up closer than ever' etc.
People have been to holiday cottages/houses for years - it's not new!

DaisyAdair · 17/04/2017 22:30

I hate the hungry house adverts with a passion. YOU ARE NOT ON GOGGLEBOX YOU TWATS. and noodles are not made out of fucking egg

Sonnige2005 · 17/04/2017 22:33

The man from Gladstone Brooks is so strangely annoying, I have to change the channel every time the ad is on!
The girl from Oral-B (I think) who knows how to take care of hips/heart etc but asks - how do you take care of your teeth? Try brushing them, you moron!

MadameDePomPom · 17/04/2017 22:33

'I especially hate the ad where the dad is banging on about life insurance whilst watching a video of himself on a beach, his son is sat on the sofa with him, deeply uncomfortable. Hate it.'

Oh yes those crappy daytime ads on the shittier channels. I try to catch a joyful hour with Lovejoy the odd time but it means watching the aforementioned ads. I take comfort that gormless life insurance dad will probably die young in some ridiculous accident. Trip over when wearing a Bugs Bunny outfit perhaps. His son will be better off...

ToEarlyForDecorations · 17/04/2017 22:34

Erm, I don't suppose now is the time to say I've got some of those new yoghurts in the fridge. The first one I tried was very nice. Just like a mousse.

Jenni2legs · 17/04/2017 22:34

The pain cream ones with the husband lamenting about his wife being able to enjoy her holiday as she's no longer in pain. Arse

The Clearblue advert with the woman telling the other she is pregnant so early on gives me the rage: 'Oh my God I think I'm going to cry' Angry Envy.

It's dubbed too, that makes it even more painful.

DeanaPiana · 17/04/2017 22:41

Anyone get what I mean when I say this? - Gladstone Brooke at the end when they sing 'Gladstone Brookes' has a real 90's feel to it Confused

The toilet paper one with the kids where the boy says 'Clean as a Michael David' and the poor teacher says 'Oh God'.

I cringe for all of them.

DontCallMeBaby · 17/04/2017 22:55

Oh god, bloody Hungry House. Singing your brand name out of tune is NOT a jingle. Fuck off.

I hate all radio adverts for the same reason, plus the fact the lack of visuals apparently means you have to be super fucking perky.

Notlostjustexploring · 17/04/2017 22:59

I have to throw in another vote for loving the skeletor advert. I rewound it just to watch it again and it completely made my day!!!

I can feel nerves behind my right eye twitch when yogurt adverts come on. Unbelievably irritating.

minesapintofwine · 17/04/2017 23:04

I live in Wales and we have a weird advert for 'Trade Centre Wales'. Just a sequence if sligans but NO SOUND WHATSOEVER. So confusing thought Tv had muted. Anyone else seen this?

I like the flash dog

anotherpoisonprince · 17/04/2017 23:04

Lala that's fucking brilliant Smile

minesapintofwine · 17/04/2017 23:05

Of slogans. Butterfingers sorry
