i'm sure stacey is a lovely person but i can't stand the twee advert on the radio gushing about the first holiday to butlins.
never been to butlins but that's not the thing, it's the twee-ness of it.
anyone else have ads they dislike?
i can't stand the AA one with the kid singing in the back and looking cute on first viewing but now makes me want to throw a brick through the screen.

Excuse how awful that sentence is to read.

Stacey Soloman does a radio advert for Butlins, does the other Stacey do a tv one?

Shake and vac is an iconic advert if you're of the age that grew up with it imo

Ooh, don't mind if i do @Mrsspensergregson. Can we have a R White's lemona'a'a'a'ade or a glass of 'i'd like to teach the world to sing' coca cola to wash it down with, and maybe a slice of 'she flies like a bird' slimcea bread with it. Grin

With the toothpaste ones it’s the ‘I asked my Dentist friend which toothbrush was best and she said an electric one’
No shit Sherlock

The butlins ad.

The ribena ad with that fucking god awful shite for music on it. Mute button for that.

The credit score one with moose the dog.

The fanny pad/tampon ads.

Winterfellwonderland · 25/05/2019 14:22

Even her name.is annoying

fecketyfeck21 · 25/05/2019 14:37

Most charity ads. I just don’t understand why they are spending money to advertise charities we already know about rather than using that money on the charity they are advertising.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 25/05/2019 14:44

I'm gripped by the June From Next Door adverts. She's totally been opening Derek's post and eyeballing his insurance payments to see if it's worth trying to ride him into an early grave.

PositiveVibez · 25/05/2019 14:45

ALL and every Nationwide advert.

They give me the pure rage. Even just writing this is annoying me.

First it was them 2 tithead sisters and now the fucking poetry by 'normal' people. Oh my god. SO ANNOYING 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

Any advert where the music is a cover of a usually good song usually in a screechy or wispy voice too

Oh my god yes. The wispy voices, usually in a folky accent too.

Take an upbeat song and turn it into a misbag-fest 😠

ILoveMaxiBondi · 25/05/2019 14:51

Oh those ducking nationwide poems! And those two idiots in a photo booth. Hmm

Current hate and is the Audi’s in a swimming pool. Confused what??

Kernobhead · 25/05/2019 14:57

I have to mute the Nationwide ads, too smug, and I hate the rhythm of speech they do when reading poetry.

I love Moose the boxer though, I chat to my dog a lot about mundane stuff and imagine his replies... I am alone at home a lot!

The Lloyds M word radio ads about talking money with your family. In particular the two girls with the very drawled posh adverts discussing whether their mum will help them buy a house because it is so hard to get on the housing ladder - gives me the rage everytime I hear it because they sound like a cliche of rich girls who won't have any problems buying a house. The other scenarios are annoying but not quite as bad.

SRK16 · 25/05/2019 16:07

Another one who HATES the nationwide adverts. Have to mute or turn off when they come on, unbearable!

Iwantamarshmallow · 25/05/2019 16:10

The matalan add makes me angry, as if any of those over paid Z listers ever set foot in matalan.
The Purple Bricks Add is Pure lies as is any whitening tooth paste add
I want to punch the woman off the Awful Tui add
I hate hate hate the post code lottery add.
DD has developed some kind of obsession with the 'cute baby' on the lion king euro disney add and makes me watch it on repeat which makes its extremely irritating. 😂

Papergirl1968 · 25/05/2019 16:29

Philip smug voiced Scofield for WeBuyAnyCar.com
He gives me the fucking rage.

frankie001 · 25/05/2019 16:42

I love Moose the dog!

Tigger001 · 25/05/2019 16:50

I absolutely despise the Haribo advert where the adults talk in children's voices. I can't watch it, it's just horrible and weird.

DilliDingDillyDong · 26/05/2019 01:38

The AA kid is annoying as hell.

UndertheCedartree · 26/05/2019 01:48

@whowasit I used to love the R Whites advert! When we buy some I always sing to my kids 'I'm a secret lemonade drinker!' They just look at me like I'm mad! WinkGrin

GrandTheftWalrus · 26/05/2019 01:54

The advert where they are too stupid to read the result of a normal pregnancy test in their enormous bathroom.

"It says I'm pregnant" in that annoying voice.

Clearly the one with the lines says they are pregnant.

DullPortraits · 26/05/2019 02:22

The bingo one that Rylan clark does the voice over for.. cringe every time!! And i say this as a fan of RC
