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?

Smother

I'm just picturing 93 year old Doris terrified to eat solid food in case she bites the woman standing on her dentures Grin

"No more Mr Nice Baby" What exactly are you trying to sell me? Hmm

Agree with the M+Ms one.

“Areyagonnabingo”

Argh.

Smotheroffive · 26/03/2019 02:34

"I didn't know Oral B made a toothpaste" Aaarghhhh

Lovingbenidorm · 26/03/2019 02:47

What did you think Oral B made? 😳
Am boggling

Pinkarsedfly · 26/03/2019 02:54

Fucking online bingo adverts that are clearly aimed at fairly desperate women, but dress up their nefarious product as a fun and slightly zany way to piss away your cash on a forlorn hope.

Bastards.

Lovingbenidorm · 26/03/2019 02:58

True

Rockmysocks · 26/03/2019 05:46

June and her little community of over 50s sharing news about a funeral plan.

Mousetolioness · 26/03/2019 06:50

I saw an advert before Christmas - which stuck in my mind - not sure if it was on TV or in a mag...

VIPoo - and a suggestion to give it as a secret Santa gift!!! All I could imagine was a recipient would DEFINITELY feel shit if they received that...

SimonJT · 26/03/2019 06:58

There was one last night that started with ‘troublesome vagina’ or similar, really, no one needs to know anything about your vagina.

Luvacuppatea · 26/03/2019 07:10

Haribo ad where all the adults in the boardroom talk in little child voices grrrrrrrr........ and that bloody ‘I didn’t know oral b made a toothpaste ‘ crap - I just know that I will never, ever buy oral b toothpaste!

Jebuschristchocolatebar · 26/03/2019 07:14

June and the parsnips- fuck of with your parsnip jam you weirdos.
Sit down If you have never seen me cry or whatever that coffee add is for. It makes me irrationally stabby

Honeypickle · 26/03/2019 07:17

Aviva - I’d really like a new kitchen! I'd really like to have all the family around actually!!

Well, what’s stopping you? Have them in your OLD kitchen. Very odd breathy talking and finishing with gales of weird laughter over non joke.

They can’t be real actresses surely?!

Disfordarkchocolate · 26/03/2019 07:24

I hate the pregnancy test one where they sit in a bathroom as big as my kitchen but are too stupid to read the test. FFS, I shout at the TV every time, my husband joins in now.

Mousetolioness · 26/03/2019 07:26

Agree with Jebus. Invite 80,000 people to an arena and a handful of you get a bloody cup of coffee. It gives the exact opposite message of the getting together/catching up with friends message to my mind. What about the 79,995 other poor sods?

ScreamingValenta · 26/03/2019 07:31

"Constipation relief's got me singing with gleeeeee
Strutting my stuff for the whole world to seeeeee ...."

Aaargh!

Pinkarsedfly · 26/03/2019 07:36

I used to hate the laxative one where the woman kept emptying plates of food into her handbag. It was disgusting.

The dirty bitch.

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 26/03/2019 07:38

The postcode lottery one makes me physically cringe. Its just...argghhh.

The tena lady pants where they all dance but its ok to be pissing yourself as now your knickers have a pretty pattern on them. Pretty sure noone ever seduced anyone by flashing their pee soaked tena knickers at them.

Muller adverts with Nicole Scherzinger in them. I just want to reach into the tv and slap her.

Very cathartic thread.

EngagedAgain · 26/03/2019 07:42

I hate all of them because they are so tedious, and I always mute. I don't watch programmes that are over an hour long because of them. That's why I missed Endeavour and Lewis. I haven't got recording facilities so my own fault on that score, but it's an aerial problem or suchlike and never bothered to get it sorted.

EngagedAgain · 26/03/2019 07:45

If I had to pick one out though it would be Cilit bang.

Ohtherewearethen · 26/03/2019 07:50

The vagisan moist cream ad is absolutely dreadful. I really cannot stand the 'I feel as clean as...' toilet roll ones though, they are the worst. I actually physically feel weird when they come on.
The one that sings 'Free love on the free love freeway' and I agree about those over 50s life/funeral plans. They are all shit.

marvellousnightforamooncup · 26/03/2019 07:58

"Scotland has a champion..." I feel sorry for the poor bloke on the horse with armour on. It's embarrassing.

And Digby Brown can fuck off too.

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 26/03/2019 08:09

The Oral B lady gives me the rage- given that they make toothbrushes & dental tape, is it really such a huge shock that they do tooth paste, too?

The people in the "Oooon the Market!" ad. It's just so lame. Such a crap song.

The evil child that keeps spilling stuff in the Plenty advert. She has a proper evil smirk that makes me want to break toys in front of her to wipe it off. Blush

Also, I don't hate it, but the RAF female recruitment ad. The one with RAF pics with voice overs from sanpro or skincare ads playing. It's clever but I watch catch up tv on my tablet a lot. I just assumed the sound track had jumped (which occasionally happens) the first couple of times it was on whilst I wasn't paying proper attention. If you pootle about in breaks making tea etc & miss the "join the raf" bit, it's a bit weird.

dayswithaY · 26/03/2019 08:11

Whenever I see an advert for Tena Lady - dancing around at Rio Carnival or constipation (skipping out the house after finally doing a dump) we always say if you were an actress and got offered that role wouldn't you say "Nah it's not for me." Get a job in a Call Centre and wait for something better rather than being known for bodily functions.

Voltarol when the old woman is grooving around the bedroom and laughing at a barbecue cos she's used some gel and the dog is puzzled.

Richard Ayoade saying "Piping hot Costa Rican" aaagh! And I don't care if he's being clever or ironic either.

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 26/03/2019 08:16

Oh and Nescafe man. Reconnect over decent coffee at least!

Judging by the amount of "is this a positive" pics on here though, Clear Blue have a horrendously priceypoint. That is a weirdly huge bathroom though.
