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?

Oh and the shark (I think it is) vacuum cleaner advert, they show it going over a pile of dirt but don’t show it coming back, makes me think it doesn’t actually work.

Blobby10 · 26/03/2019 13:40

Feeling misty eyed now for the old style Milky Way ads " Red car and a blue car had a race..........."!!

And the Smash ones : "for Mash get Smashhhhh" with the aliens

The old Mars ones " A mars a day help you work, rest and play"

The ' truly horrendous un pretty knickers plastic nappy pants

Eeerrrgh!

Smotheroffive · 26/03/2019 13:49

Also tres yawn yawn at Jennifer Lawrence loving up herself in the pool

Smotheroffive · 26/03/2019 13:56

Can't stand watching creepy angry battering Johnny Depp bigging himself up in fragrance advert.. I have to turn it over/mute/leave room to do something more useful with my life than watching that dirtbag.

Smotheroffive · 26/03/2019 13:59

'Someones knocking at the fucking door' TRA LA LA LA LA - aaarrrggghh!

However, adore the haribo adds, hilarious, especially the really big bloke on the train station platform.

JohnsShamewell · 26/03/2019 14:13

The Denise Van Outen plus various z list celebs Matalan adverts. As if we’re all stupid enough to believe they would really wear those clothes. You just know they’re all ripping the piss out of them when the camera turns off.

snoogans · 26/03/2019 14:17

I'd forgotten that Jennifer Lawrence one. That's annoying especially as it constantly switches from red lipstick to no lipstick. And I hate when she gobs a load of water towards the camera.

And that Greg Wallace lookalike from that go compare ad. As if that curly moustached knobhead wasn't bad enough we've got that other twat say "fantastic" constantly.

JustAnotherPoster00 · 26/03/2019 14:19

That stupid fucking annoying irritating piece of shit ghostbusters contactless halifax ad, it gives me the absolute rage and the wizard of oz 1 isnt much better

hullabaloo68 · 26/03/2019 14:19

The cat pheromone one where the woman is shouting at Todd for peeing up the wall in an odd American accent

Smotheroffive · 26/03/2019 14:21

There are a couple of clothes ads on at the moment that are hugely gross and majorly unappealing.

Even prancing around looking like they're pleased with their 'look' is wholly unconvincing. The clothes are shit and clearly made of shit material.

JuniorAsparagus · 26/03/2019 14:23

The vacuum cleaner one where he says it is good at picking up 'petair' .

Dairyqueen2 · 26/03/2019 14:29

George Clooney and Natalie Former in the awful Game of Thrones homage, and yes- the "Really, George?" one. I literally don't understand it. Those Nespresso ones are obviously made for other parts of the world where the humour is, er, different ...

Dairyqueen2 · 26/03/2019 14:30

Natalie Dormer...sigh..

Still18atheart · 26/03/2019 14:41

Can’t even remember what it’s for think financial maybe Expedia. But it’s a game of thrones take off. I find that one annoying

acatcalledjohn · 26/03/2019 14:52

All of the Wowcher ads. I wouldn't be seen dead using them.

Does anyone else think that the reason Eva Longoria says "hyaluronic acid" in such a ridiculous manner is because she couldn't pronounce the word in one go and the director had to dumb it down for her?

Brilliantidiot · 26/03/2019 14:53

The oral b and muller ones are annoying, but I cringe every time I see that Aunt Bessie's one with the horse.
His position is awful, his hands are awful, and his feet make me want to cry.

Smotheroffive · 26/03/2019 14:59

Same brilliant with any non riders! Quietly seethe for the poor horses mouths Angry

crazypsychedelictrifle · 29/03/2019 21:45

That Barclays life skills advert with the annoying woman and the wind turbines. Why she gets out of the car to stand 4 paces away from it in the wind and rain to try and work on a laptop using one hand is beyond me, just sit in the car you daft bint.

Neilsfavouritechilli · 30/03/2019 21:28

Turbine woman also pisses me off for the same reason. The advert that really drives me mad is the "We're on London Great Weston" (may be regionally specific) but the "oh yeah" makes me want to punch and I'm a non aggressive peace loving woman.

TurtleyAwesome · 30/03/2019 21:55

“I know how to take care of my body, but how do I look after my mouth?”

Seriously? No one taught you to brush your teeth? Confused

Oh yes. Worst acting ever. Maybe she can get it on with the guy born in Carlisle but made in the Royal Navy.

WoollyMummoth · 30/03/2019 21:59

The posh kids braying on about feeling as “fresh as a spoon on a rollercoaster” I want to headbutt the coffee table every time it comes on.

Shefliesonherownwings · 30/03/2019 22:00

Yes those Nationwide ones are so annoying. The top cat and flintstones ones were bad enough but if I have to hear that twee twat say 'oh helloooooo' one more time to dorothy i am going to put my fist through the tv. And breathe.

Smotheroffive · 30/03/2019 22:03

Yes, yes! Woolly
Pile o shite!
