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 shared the Skeletor ad on Facebook for nostalgia reasons. It tickled me and I wanted to share that feeling with my siblings. We all loved HeMan on Saturday mornings.
I can't stand them Nicole yogurt ads. They make me quite ansty.

Channel 5 have these annoying things either side of the ads with Elizabethan men standing in a lake playing a lute. No idea what that's all about but it's irritating.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 17/04/2017 23:32

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!

All the way through this thread I was dying to mention this. Bollock the little twat for walking through the house in muddy shoes and make him bloody well clear it up you useless woman.

Oh God those fucking Tesco Food Love Stories...

'I had a fight with my stepmum. I said some things I didn't mean, so I've made her my special cupcakes'

She meant EVERY WORD, stepma. Those cakes are laced with laxatives. That's what makes them so special.

JayneAusten · 17/04/2017 23:47

Anything that assaults my ears is a no. Why on earth do so many advertisers think that people relaxing in their own living rooms want to be sung at or shouted at?

WashBasketsAreUs · 17/04/2017 23:50

The little shit who pulls a glass dish out of the dishwasher and announces it's not clean - he'd be wearing the bloody dish if he was in this house. Gives my hubby the rage.
Smug - arse dad buying his daughter a Mac book pro for when she goes travelling, the smug face at the end also gives hubby the rage.

TheMysteriousJackelope · 17/04/2017 23:51

Do you get this in the UK?

I guess if you wear Sauvage you will end up smelling like a nighclub at the end of the night, or a coyote, or a sweating buffalo, or a sweating Johnny Depp.

Halifax are spending a fortune on the Flintsones, Top Cat and Thunderbirds...

Given the Halifax is part owned by the taxpayer after the collapse of HBOS, this does seem very poor use of public cash.

SalemSaberhagen · 18/04/2017 05:03

There is a shitty daytime one that drives me mad. A lawyer one, or insurance or something.

A 'well spoken' man speaking down to a woman called Tiffany (I think), who is actually a woman with rollers in, speaking in the most heinous and put on 'common' accent and using slang that hasn't been used since the 90s. I cringe so hard at it.

topcat2014 · 18/04/2017 06:56

@mines - we're just back from Wales and I saw that one - I guess it saves costs of actors/voiceover people,

you do tend to read the add too.

fairgame84 · 18/04/2017 07:13

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned those awful Kinder adverts with the cartoon kid that says 'teddy is really very not well' or something similar. He wouldn't be getting any chocolate in house until he learns to talk properly.

DP hates the scs adverts with the woman that constantly shrugs her shoulders.

We love the flash dog advert and always sing along Blush

SparklyMagpie · 18/04/2017 07:16

Religionorno I absolutely HATE that life insurance advert and that guy is certainly not 32 years old. Even the kid at the end " nice hat dad " makes my blood boil Angry

ExcuseMyEyebrows · 18/04/2017 08:00

Oh yes, I thought from the first time I saw the Tesco/stepmum/argument advert that those cupcakes had been spat in.

Alicorn · 18/04/2017 08:01

The oak furniture land ones with the whistling make me want to throttle the person who is doing the whistling.

But those brand power adverts are worse. Much worse.

Anonymous1112 · 18/04/2017 08:19

Proper lol at some of these.

fruityb · 18/04/2017 08:35

The life insurance ads with the funeral costs including 2k accommodation....

I hate the Morrisons one, I think, with the donut sharing girl who gives half to her teddy. I hate her voice!!

DeanaPiana · 18/04/2017 08:37

Ahh, Morrisons. The land of sausage rolls. They always ruin songs.

For some weird reason I want to punch the Trivago brunette.
Me too. I don't know why.

derxa · 18/04/2017 08:46

The toilet paper one with the kids where the boy says 'Clean as a man called David' and the poor teacher says 'Oh God'.
So false and irritating. As is that Quick Quid woman who says 'You'll have to smell today' How did the rest of them get washed? She trots off on her little kitten heels blithely unaware that she has put her family in even more debt.

Winterc00kie · 18/04/2017 09:01

Hungry house trying to be goggle box.

Any smug life insurance/funeral plan ads, they are all the same, the coming of age dad will be always be wearing a Pringles or Ralph Lauren type jumper and shirt in their pristine 5 bedroom house.

The quick quid ads are tedious.

Any day time ads I catch on my day off...the gtech adverts....I could go on xx

LilacSpatula · 18/04/2017 09:23

I've just seen an advert. For soup. For cats.

What the actual f?!????

LilacSpatula · 18/04/2017 09:24

Bloody Trivago!! Grrr

NoCapes · 18/04/2017 09:40

The way Britney's Spears says "what did I tell you about going through my wardrobe?!" Or some such shite
I just can't believe it made the ad, if I was the director I'd have been like - Hmm the fuck was that Spears?! Just talk like a human!!
Makes me so angry Angry

Oh and SCS woman - just her whole existence tbh
Fuck me do I hate her!

However I love James Cordon so you all need to lay off him!!

EduCated · 18/04/2017 09:58

How how how has no one mentioned Gtech and their bloody Air Rams?!

WhatALoadOfOldBollocks · 18/04/2017 15:08

Why is it only women that need remedies for constipation?
I know! Judging by how long a lot of men sit on the toilet you'd think it would be better marketed at them!
