Most annoying ads

[talktoo]

Going on from another post about an annoying ad, what do you find the most annoying? I cringe at the German shampoo for women Plantur 39. The bit where she whispers conspiratorially 'especially for women over 40' as if being over 40 is something to be shamed about. Hate hate hate it. Also the Wowcher ads. Also didn't like the one about guide dogs with the guy who said 'puup-eh' instead of puppy. I know he's blind and all but it really was annoying.

Right said Fred you wanna help the family? Let’s talk about releasing equity!

Soooo annoying. Who is the 'mother' on that advert? I've seen her before somewhere but don't know where and it gives me the rage 😡

The Citroen ad. The first version with Jon Briggs on the voiceover was bad enough but the new one is just as bad.

Anything where the add is just a smiling couple with sweet, laughing children and the tagline is ‘because family’s all that really matters’, regardless of what the product is. Bonus points if they’ve made the couple interracial.

The one with Philip Scholfield and the puppy ... it makes me nauseous

Ellie Goulding training her hair.

I do wonder if Jonny is either digging his own grave or looking for his long-lost sense of humour.

Someone's aknocking at the door, someone's a ringing the bell - Postcode lottery

June (from next door) taking her neighbours post in, long discussion follows about funeral plans

Are you going to bingo?

Havn't you applied for your PIP yet?

All good reasons to leave the room and put the kettle on

DappledThings and not just a caramel shop, but her favourite caramel shop, like there were several to choose from in whatever weird place she evidently came from.

I hate flaky lost card woman who has £71 in her bank account with which to buy a round at the school reunion. I bet she's the sort of person who never turns up anywhere on time and who says "Ahhh, bless" about things.

Oh, and yy to whoever brought up that Diet Coke man, who says "I am sooo into that!" about something completely banal like reclaimed furniture. I can't remember his exact words because the red mist always descends as soon as I see his face.

"June from next door..." advert is so annoying... any adverts for over 50 life plan seems to be!

All the yoghurt ones are annoying, firstly no one ever shouts about low fat loudly enough for some bloke to fall off the treadmill.
Secondly If anyone falls over with a yoghurt in hand does it only ever go on your nose! Ridiculous both!

Credit check advert with the talking dog annoys me too. Just no

@Enchanters poor you, having to endure her blank, creepy unseeing eyes over and over again. Yanbu to turn your tablet over, I turn mine over AND mute it whenever the ad comes on. The fact that she's female makes it worse somehow. Is it perhaps an ironic comment on the way 'real' women are often portrayed in ads as personality free vapid idiots? Doubt it.

I'm never buying a Renault. Ever.

Bloody over 50s plans. I'm 50 this year and don't pootle around a conservatory in Laura Ashley prints wittering on about parsnips. Im getting lashed on gin & watching Netflix

I second the Barclays lady on the bus who had her card in the 'funny little pocket' of her denim jacket.

My most hated is the GTECH Air Ram one, with the vacuum guy. His bald patch in the reflection on the mirror. I don't think that one is on anymore. So much so that if I'm at my mums and those ads come on my mum says 'There's that man you don't like'.

Oh any ALL Kevin Bacon ones. Can't Richard Branson get someone better?

Got me on a roll now. The new Iceland one with the Baywatch guy.

That's FarmFoods not Iceland with David Hasselhoff. Still rubbish though.

Absolutely everything about the Vagisan moist cream advert is hideous.
The Vicks vapour rub advert where that robotic wife grins vacantly at her manchild husband whilst rubbing it on his chest.
Any and all over 50s life plan/life insurance/funeral care plans/bingo adverts.
I don't even know what it is for but there is an advert with the most annoying song, "Free love on the free love freeway..." I feel a disproportionate amount of rage when I hear it. And I know it's going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day now 😤

I agree with all of these. Particularly the over fifties ones. I'm over fifty and I've never once had a chat with a neighbour about my funeral. Nor do I have a conservatory and I'd leave my DH if he sat around in a pastel jumper reading the newspaper all day.

Can I add that Philip Schofield one where he's doing yoga. Makes me want to push the smug fucker over.

That’s an advert for Freeview Ohthere.

Part of one of my exercise classes has the Jess Glynne TUI song. I grit my teeth every time.
Audi do really weird adverts.

Yes to G Tech, Right said Fred, yoghurt, over 50 plans, the Barclay woman, who has really weird expressions and Wowcher, especiallythe bloke who dances with a broom or something. I bet he was really pleased his agent got him that gig.

I hate all ads that show bedrooms/kitchens/living rooms and bathrooms that I could fit my ENTIRE 4 bedroom house in! I think there should be an ad law that states every ad showing a room MUST use the average size living room/bathroom/kitchen, not a room you would only find the likes of in Blenheim Palace. My bathroom (bath and sink, not toilet) is about 5'6" x 6'. Yeah, try and get a bath, shower and sink in there!!

The one with the weird stalker car thief for dreamies I think

Do you wanna bingo? - nope.

Cilit wang I can’t believe they didn’t notice 😳

Free love on the free love freeway..." I feel a disproportionate amount of rage when I hear it.

And just to make you feel worse it's Ricky Gervais / David Brent singing it.

Oh that Barclays twat on the bus who only has £70 left but wants to wang it up the wall to impress her old school chums.

Oh! Just thought of another one - that Viagra bloke dancing down the stairs in his Blue Harbour chino shorts and twirling about to Come Up and See Me, grinning smugly because he can now get a stiffy with over-the-counter medication. It just makes me cringe so badly.

Yes GraceMarks exactly this!

and not just a caramel shop, but her favourite caramel shop, like there were several to choose from in whatever weird place she evidently came from

"Women are soft and strong". Why do sanitary pad adverts always feel like they need to make some sort if statement about women.

Like I get that in this case they are saying we are like their product but ffs...What next? 'Women will suck your blood' xD

I can't stand any 'celeb' endorsed home hair colour kit ads. Like the one Holly Willoughby andcDavina McColl do.....is it Garnier Nutrisse. Do they really think we are so naive that we truly believe they do it on the cheap like that? Why, just why, if you are a 'celeb' with lots of money would you do DIY hair? Why would you put yourself through the hassle of home hair colouring... the mixing bottles, the gloves that are always too big and slip off, the stress of OMG have I spread it evenly, have I missed a bit and having to drip all over the kitchen while you make your own coffee to kill the 20 mins before you can rinse it all off!! No.....Holly and Davina pay stupid money at top London salons cos they can. No way can you get perfect hair like theirs out of a £5.99 dye from Superdrug!! Rant over....makes me so cross!!!

I hate all adverts with a passion, bordering on obsession so I record all TV on my tivo and watch it later. But I do occasionally catch them and get full on rage. Why do all advertising women have orgasms over yoghurt? And why are all men inept at housework? And do people over 50 really only talk about retirement plans and supplements? I also think all pay day loan adverts should be banned.
