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?

The holiday advert where one person (started off as a little boy , then a young girl, then a 20s woman) drags an unseen person along .

Drag me off the plane, to the Reception desk, the buffet , the pool .....you would get a hefty slap across the forearm "Stop fucking pulling me , I am not a mule"

Smotheroffive · 31/03/2019 15:50

Agreed, very odd carry on being pulled around especially when pulled into the pool!!

Which travel company's adverts are the "still winning!" ones with Captain Obvious? So annoying that I can't be fucked to remember the company.

I like the British heart foundation one however with a very sweet little boy on it.

Colgate. Just how many more varieties of toothpaste could we possibly need?

Smiling people talking about funeral plans.

Online gambling adverts. All of them. Shouldn't be allowed.

luckylavender · 31/03/2019 17:56

Lots, especially the woman who didn't realise Oral B made toothpaste, anything with Nicole S, the vet who thinks a hat is a cat & any advert that pretends that banks care.

Smotheroffive · 31/03/2019 18:11

Yes, big backfire that not only do we hate the ad, get the rage, cringe and don't buy into the bollox/crap, we can't even remember the brand 😂😂😂😂😂

Jenny Éclair and her f....g dry vagina!!!! Hmm
The Nationwide poem waffling ads.
I love the AA advert!

Bungalowbeth · 31/03/2019 22:48

That bloody Pelaton advert can fuck off too!

It looks great, but have you seen the cost of it?!!

onthenaughtystepagain · 31/03/2019 23:05

Those adverts with the horrible, shrill American mid-west voice, Hilton hotels I think, and Wowcher, like fingernails down a blackboard (for those of us of a certain age!). OH is obsessed with the never-ending food programmes and there's one usually on in the kitchen with a voice like this.

EstuaryBird · 31/03/2019 23:16

An ad for some low calorie ice cream, begins with B but can’t remember what it’s called.

Annoying woman apparently dresses dog up when husband has to take it for a walk then they pull stupid faces. I hate it so much. It has absolutely F all to do with ice cream. I just wonder who on earth thought it was a good idea??

PurpleSproutingSomething · 31/03/2019 23:27

There's one at the moment, I think it's a chameleon shouting at a woman from the arm of her sofa.
Cannot stand it at all.

SimonitesSocks · 01/04/2019 04:13

The ad for Peachy (loans) featuring close-ups of lots of bums. Most of the bums are well clad and look fine - but towards the end there's a twitchy arse in a pair of budgie smugglers and then two bums, clad in thongs, sitting on bar stools - I'm not sure whether to Grin or Hmm!

Smotheroffive · 01/04/2019 16:08

Oh I love the 'flippin' add, really amuses me Grin
Upbeat, and catchy...and I remember it!

Can't stand the one with the husband behaving like a ddog, peeing against the wall, and cowering at the thunder...I've noticed the peeing bit has been capped.

Smotheroffive · 01/04/2019 16:11

Yes naughtystep bloody hate it, and rather relieved I can't understand a word of that awful shrill drawl. How funny, hating on your family and sending them to anywhere away from you. Confused

TheBreastmilksOnMe · 01/04/2019 16:13

You’re watching too much tv if ads get you all riled up.

Smotheroffive · 01/04/2019 16:21

No, just ads range from poor to insulting and grating...

Neilsfavouritechilli · 01/04/2019 17:13

There is no such thing as too much TV.

edgen2019 · 01/04/2019 17:44

Where am I going to find £3,800 to pay for my funeral? this poor chap is chatting to his friend, who then passes necessary info onto his friend etc., funeral plans what else, absolutely dreadful.

Smotheroffive · 01/04/2019 17:45

Did you have anything to contribute breastmilk or just came here to pass judgement ts on other contributors? Grin

Wishimaywishimight · 01/04/2019 17:53

The endless variations of the sodding Trivago ads where yer wan suggests that you chose "the right hotel for you" As opposed to the right hotel for Nora next door??

Specially hated her when she did an utterly stupid and pointless tap dance!

Oh yeah, and the rather patronising one where she gives advice to a taxi driver who wants something v generic like a family friendly hotel on the beach - a search that'd yield about 200,000 results!

Wishimaywishimight · 01/04/2019 17:58

This is an Irish one - AIB (bank) - "backing doing" - is that even grammatically correct??

JustDanceAddict · 01/04/2019 18:27

That knocking on the door sing makes me soooo stabby!!! It’s on the radio a lot too.

Sweetpea55 · 02/04/2019 07:22

The woman in bed during the day with a M&M.... Weird..
