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?

What did you think Oral B made?

Sex toys. Obviously. Grin

TerribleTwosPhase · 30/03/2019 22:04

Agree with the Haribo adverts & the Idris Elba one. I totally hate both of them, I don't actually think it's normal how much they make me rage Angry

Passmethecrisps · 30/03/2019 22:07

I confess j skimmed the last few but I don’t think anyone put my absolute pet hate advert

It is for an estate agent/ house selling website. Chap wants to read his man magazine but his annoying family just won’t leave him in peace. So he has an amazing idea and just goes and buys them a bigger house!!

Then he leaves his delighted missus with all the millions of kids to unpack while he heads off to the shed with his magazine.

I is absolutely terrible. Genuinely awful and a bit insulting

Was thinking of binning off Sky+.
This thread has convinced me it's worth every penny.

Rage warning: Angry NOONE EVER FUCKING SAYS 'FEE FI FO FIX' EVER!!! Fuck off with your stupid idiotic shite

Pinkarsedfly · 30/03/2019 22:27

Smother I’m with you on that. Makes me want to kick the telly in every time Angry

Strugglingtodomybest · 30/03/2019 22:34

I don't even know where to start... but one that's not been mentioned is for some financial company I think, where the woman says to her husband something about getting money back for something and he answers her in a really dismissive way, and instead of saying, fuck you then, I'll sort it and keep the money for myself, she keeps trying to persuade him she's right until he suddenly believes her. I want to punch him.

TheNewSchmoo · 30/03/2019 22:34

Denise van Outen and co pretending to be delighted with their Matalan clothing. Awful acting. Horrendous.

Smotheroffive · 30/03/2019 22:40

They really must have flashed the bucks to get them trying so hard in those awful outfits. That is quite a display of acting.
Cringe-worthy watching

chocolatemademefat · 31/03/2019 03:38

The toilet roll one where the boy says it makes him feel as clean as a man called David. What the actual fuck! Makes me want to curl up and die.

Monty27 · 31/03/2019 03:51

@lovingbenidorm well, it certainly wouldn't have been pretty!
Loving these.
I was trying to remember Jenny eclaires name about the tena lady pads. Zeroed in my estimation big time.
However, I listen to LBC even though it is painfully commercial. They are now advertising men's pads for men that have a similar problem!
I called them once when they were continuously airing an advert for safe drinking. The intimate details from a raped female victim Shock

Matalan

lazyarse123 · 31/03/2019 04:06

All perfume ads. Apparently posh perfume makes you walk really slowly taking your clothes off as you go. Weird.

cloudymelonade · 31/03/2019 05:48

Any face wash advert where a woman washes her face by carelessly just chucking litres of water at her own face

SimonitesSocks · 31/03/2019 06:57

The current Postcode Lottery ad. There are three women, the one on the left (in a leopard print blouse), the one in the middle (with purple hair) and then a third on the right who I can't describe at all ... because when LeopardPrint is handed her cheque, PurpleHair starts tapping and rubbing LeopardPrint's chest - not her boobs - and just keeps tapping and rubbing. It's most peculiar Confused

poundoflard · 31/03/2019 07:22

I have to mute and look away at the Claudia Winkleman Head and shoulders ad.
I loathe even looking at her.

I know 2 people who have won BIG money on Post code lottery lucky-bastards

There's a building society ad where a dad in a hideous jumper and far too neat beard sneaks out the kids bedroom, steps on a squeaky toy and he grins. I hate his grin/teeth/fake sorry look on his face aarrrrgghhh

But Richard Ayoade can sell me anything :)

HaroldsSocalledBluetits · 31/03/2019 08:05

Yeah that dad wants nutting.

Not annoying but dissonant for me is that Dior advert with the Kanye track, because I've always, since it was first out years ago, heard not "flashing lights" but "fleshlights" ie the fake vagina sex toy.

I think I may be alone in this.

GreenOliveOrBlackOlive · 31/03/2019 08:09

Wayfair/Lorraine Kelly following that woman about who has bought literally everything from Wayfair.

‘But what if I want to be fancy?’Argh! 😬

Especially as the three occasions Ive ordered from Wayfair have been a problem.

Ronsters · 31/03/2019 08:20

I really hate the HSBC one, the guy's voice is so annoying I have to mute it. They do a billboard add too, aimed at where you live, ours is "Leeds.....fish and chips....".Why not be just a little bit more patronising and slip "ee by eck, where's me whippet?" on there?

I also hate the Oral B ad, it's on loads. The irritating girl and her dentist also have the exact same shade of hair.

hazell42 · 31/03/2019 10:40

I hate the ones that subvert misogyny as a nudge nudge wink wink joke. Women objectifying men and raising one eyebrow, as if to say, yes I know that is what you usually do to us, but it's all just good clean fun, isn't it.
No. Its not
Its not fun when women ooh-er over a man taking a t-shirt off, and its definitely not fun when it's the other way round.
And by joining in with the 'joke' we are saying it's ok.
And handing men the perfect riposte if we complain.

Tartanwarrior · 31/03/2019 10:54

Oooh
Churchill ( argh!! Get rid of the dog already!)

Haribo/ adults w children's voices ( gah!!)

I hated the Flash one, but now I admire that it's so crap it's actually awesome

Smotheroffive · 31/03/2019 14:12

It's the all-inspiring, awesome, amazingness, Confused snap of the lid that boils my piss on the Claudia ad, ahaa! Wtaf?Angry

StillCoughingandLaughing · 31/03/2019 14:57

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.

Probably made by the same agency that expects us to believe Fearne Cotton sits with an old towel around her shoulders faffing about with a pair of plastic gloves trying to colour her hair with the Garnier Olia she bought on special in Superdrug, cursing as she drips all over the carpet whilst tottering across the landing to answer a phone call from Holly Willoughby.

derxa · 31/03/2019 15:34

There's a Vax one ATM. Lady vaxs her (clean) looking cream carpet. I hate the voiceover on that one. I think it's Anna Richardson. 'we spray we sponge we wipe but what about our carpets' So grating
