Flash aaahhaa with the man and labradoodle dog or whatever it is
And AA with the toddler girl rocking it in the back of the car
I expect a lot of people love them.
Anyone else?

I hate the ads for beauty products that have argineen and all manner of bollocks in, and they say 64% of 113 woman polled agreed it's amazing.

Laughably small amount of people to ask, and always equals something like 72.32 women! Not even a total number of whole women! PMSL! Grin

Hate the KFC ad too, with the obviously sake 'south London' gangsta accent. No issue with the genuine accent, but this is so fake it's laughable.

The toddler with the freaky CGI mouth singing 'proud mary!' Shock

Also sick of the meerkats. Got bored with them a couple of years ago. 'Wud ennee-one lyke peperrrrrrrr?' Hmm

@Bravelurker I hate the trade centre ad too! The silent one is annoying, but the one with the shouty middle aged man screeching all over it is even worse! I mute the TV every time!

snoogans · 25/03/2019 23:46

We have that ad too bravelurker it's actually genius when you think about it because people probably stare at their phone during the ad breaks, that one comes on and they'll look up thinking the telly has gone off and actually see the advert.

acatcalledjohn · 25/03/2019 23:48

Shudder.

americandream · 25/03/2019 23:51

Idris Elba is LUSH. But yeah, that advert is hella creepy!

Korvalscat · 25/03/2019 23:53

Bought by many pet insurance ad is just bizarre - the dog in a tutu, Sweep in the magician's box and that bloke just staring.

GTech vacuum cleaner. What do you hate most about vacuuming? - You, Nick Grey.

EugenesAxe · 25/03/2019 23:57

I bloody hate any washing advert that involves putting something hideous on clothes and then soaking half of it in the antidote while it's still wet. Come and get a piece of clothing with real life fucking stains in it, that have had time to dry out a bit, and THEN tell me that your powder vanishes it with just a dip.

My flesh crawls at the erection problem one where the guy dances around the house to Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel.

I can't stand that fucking twirly moustached assault on the ears advert for a comparison site and the taxi driver. It's truly torture. It's not funny. Just really irritating and grating and awful. I can't use the site anymore because it reminds me of the advert.

SneakyGremlins · 26/03/2019 00:06

The fact that us gay people aren't seems worthy of being in adverts.

I'll just get off my soapbox

Fixodent. It says dramatisation at the bottom of the screen. Who thinks there's an actual tiny woman wobbling around on their dentures?

Monty27 · 26/03/2019 00:33

I hadn't seen the Idris Elba one ewwww
Nor the gay woman one.
Oral b.. use it and you will be so young fit and enthusiastic.
Kill me now Shock
Glad I'm not alone.

Snoogans, you are actually right because I remembered the name and most ads are white noise to me usually.

ThanksForAllTheFish · 26/03/2019 00:42

Women are soft and strong Always advert is really bugging me these days.

Also the Llama advertising the online casino bugs the hell out of me.

I also hate the voice over guy in the Morrisons adverts. Not the accent - just his voice. It grates on my brain. Makes me not want to shop at Morrisons at all.

Lovingbenidorm · 26/03/2019 00:48

Yeah
“Hi, I’m Tom” smarmy bastard in his boxers holding hand out while chewing his gum, with embarrassed daughter behind him trying to cover her underwear
Tom would be in A&E having his Orbit removed from his arse

Monty27 · 26/03/2019 00:54

@lovingbenidorm
My dad would have knocked him out, chewing gum or not, which boxer adorned bf would have choked on
And I would have had to run very fast and far Grin

I have NEVER seen/heard anything so fucking dreadful EVER

Lovingbenidorm · 26/03/2019 00:56

Nice one Monty 😉

ThanksForAllTheFish · 26/03/2019 01:00

I also really dislike the new fairy adverts with the baby gone all thuggish in his leather jacket and deep voice - just no. It reminds me of those stereotypical ‘Britain abroad types’ (you know the ones I mean - topless beer gut men walking around the resort with Union Jack swimming trunks moaning about the lack of ‘proper’ food/beer/daily mail newspapers). Not a good image to associate with a product you are trying to sell.

Lovingbenidorm · 26/03/2019 01:05

I agree Thanks
‘Mild, green Fairy Liquid ‘
Then T shirts were being made saying
‘Wild, mean fairly rich kid’
I think that set them off
What was wrong with Nanette Newman ffs!?
Loved her

Smotheroffive · 26/03/2019 01:07

Flash....light
Flash....light...duh duh de duh duh
Women made to look stupid in gold water and gold clothes...and the punch line

I don't even know what it's advertising!! So, awful AND pointless!

Hilarious previous one about stupid bint, who didn't even know they made toothpaste ....we all actively hate on that one in our house.
Can't bear the HY...LUR...RON...IC bollox

And could throttle the bloody child in the aa ad.

Lovingbenidorm · 26/03/2019 01:11

I used to laugh at the one
“I cough, I laugh......”
The rhythm just shouted
“I cough, I laugh, I piss myself”
Noticed they’ve changed it 🧐

RamblinRosie · 26/03/2019 01:12

I hate the bingo ads, especially the one that appears to show the mums having fun while their daughters watch.

I’m also horrified by the equity release ones, borrow against your main asset, pay off your mortgage to take on a debt at double the interest, and fritter a lot away. In 12 years your debt will have doubled!!

Smotheroffive · 26/03/2019 01:13

"Now the biting makes sense"!!! aaaggghhh!
" Barbs home eeeerleee!'. Fucking die you fuckers

Lovingbenidorm · 26/03/2019 01:16

Am irrationally irritated by the bingo advert where they do The Macarena and one woman GETS IT WRONG!!!!

Lovingbenidorm · 26/03/2019 01:17

Gosh
This thread is strangely cathartic

Smotheroffive · 26/03/2019 01:19

Who thinks there's an actual tiny woman wobbling around on their dentures? Grin yeah its pretty patronising sneaky

That twirly tashed one actually only sings it once I've noticed (stops you being able to mute the rest as its already been sung) I swear that's why they've stopped the singing cos its shite and bloody annoying.

Can't stand the stupid 'macho biker' washing up liquid cartoon either.

Well, don't I feel better now Grin
