It makes my teeth itch with irritation every time it comes on

OMG. I had a colonoscopy last month and the hospital is nearly 2 hours away. I HAD to buy those “pretty pants” as my DH thought I would shit in the car (I have diverticular). I came through with them on to show him and he nearly died laughing they are like huge nappies!

newnameforthis7 · 21/02/2019 00:29

And another one that gets on my tits is the one for (I think) plantur39, where the woman says 'especially for women over 40!' and whispers the 'over 40' bit. Like it's a fucking crime to be over 40. Stupid ad.

God I HATE that advert!!

And the other toothpaste ad where the girl goes to her mate 'do my teeth look yellow?' and her mates like '...............yep'

They are white as snow just fuck off.

I think they should re make the 'pretty' pants ad with Keira Knightley as her Love Actually character... you know, 'I actually look pretty' (not sure if that was exact quote but near enough)....

alltoomuchrightnow · 21/02/2019 02:56

Hannah with the Barclay card actually gurns.
I used to come home from college every night, an hour's bus journey, with a gurning female passenger. Gurner liked to sit next to me. I don't think she had a special pocket though and wasn't going to school reunion

I hate all those adds, but perfume or aftershave ones really get on my wick, especially the one for men and women where the say the words at the same time, someone is just slightly behind and it sounds fucking stupid.

As for trivago woman, there are no words anymore that can describe my dislike of her, I wish she'd just go away for good.

I haven’t seen the oral B advert 😱

MissionItsPossible · 21/02/2019 04:59

“I didn’t know Oral B made toothpaste”!

What the fuck did you think they made then? Roast potatoes?

Nothing beats stupid duck faced woman on the train though with her short/long hair advertising Colgate

kateluvscats · 21/02/2019 05:46

But have you seen the dentist's fringe in the oral B ad, can't take my eyes off it.

JuniorAsparagus · 21/02/2019 05:55

We always turn the sound off. The Olay one looks particularly stupid as the actress/model makes a series of strange faces.

Jebuschristchocolatebar · 21/02/2019 06:25

But what about June and her parsnip Jam? She is in need of serious help

Calledyoulastnightfromglasgow · 21/02/2019 06:28

stillcoughingandlaughung I’m still laughing at your post.

It goes up there with the Fairy liquid one where they start dancing. So fucking patronising.

stayathomer · 21/02/2019 06:36

Haven't seen this one!! I do in general hate all toothpaste ads where peop one with perfect teeth tell you they've just found out/ started using x toothpaste and the difference it makes. No, you did not JUST start using it ( Bangs toothbrush off wall repeatedly)

kateluvscats · 21/02/2019 07:26

This ad does my head in, patronising cow!

SpotlessMind · 21/02/2019 08:22

@newnameforthis7 I HATE that ‘especially for women over 40s’ one, I want to put my foot through the television everytime I see it. What on earth makes them think that this is how women carry on? Arseholes.

newnameforthis7 · 21/02/2019 08:23

Oh God yes, the dad one, where the mommy leaves the iccle daddy all alone his with baby. He can barely cope, but his lady wumman tells Amazon Echo to say 'Laura loves you and you're dong a great job...'

Bless. Hmm

Who writes this shit?

newnameforthis7 · 21/02/2019 08:25

EXACTLY @SpotlessMind So horribly patronising to WHISPER for women over 40 as if it's a bad thing to be over 40! Angry

FamilyOfAliens · 21/02/2019 08:32

“The one with the round brush head”

What other shape would it be? Idiots.

HankNPat · 21/02/2019 08:35

The current Oxo Stock Pot ad (DCs judo lesson cancelled, mum's night at cinema cancelled) so dad makes a pasta in tomato sauce using an OSP. At the end you see them at the table with plates of very saucy pasta eating it with knives and forks. Who eats pasta with knives and forks?!

BadHairDyeDay · 21/02/2019 08:37

I have just spat my breakfast out - I have met my peopleGrin. These ads have made me Rage for AGES! Another one is the one where the young couple have just moved into their new home together and while they're unpacking the boxes the first thing she wants to do is sort out their life insurance with Beagle. And he just goes along with it! Yeah that's what's on his mindHmm

Susya · 21/02/2019 08:45

Supermarket adverts where the 'sensual' voiceover is done by a would be porn star.

HankNPat · 21/02/2019 08:48

And, in fact, who puts pasta on plates? It should be in bowls!

Blobby10 · 21/02/2019 08:48

These comments are great! My OH is a dentist and he gets really cross at the false advertising (in his eyes!) of the toothpaste ones. His current peeve is the Corsidol - he shouts at the TV - "No, got to the dentist THEN get the bloody toothpaste!! Not the other way around!" its very funny to see!

The advert which grinds me at the moment is the Equity Release one from Key - bloody ear worm jingle! Angry

HankNPat · 21/02/2019 09:06

Is the Key Equity Release ad the one with the "had a cuppa tea" song? The other equally irritating song in an ad is On The Market. Why do they use 'jolly Cockney Sparrer' type music?!
