That Alexa one where the mother lets her teenage daughter repeatedly thump a football against the wall, lit by the thousand suns of her security lamps at 04.40 in the dead of night.

The neighbours must be getting up a petition.

I don't think I am being unreasonable. Which adverts grind your gears?

The one for the stairlift,where the woman keeps calling her husband...i think thats what it is for .All that money spent on adverts and I still dont know what they are trying to sell

And that kenco frothy coffee in a packet .

Actually most adverts

The one where the parents have apparently had their faces covered in permanent marker by their 4 year old in the night while they were sleeping. Just weird.

1Morewineplease · 24/02/2020 22:52

The one with bloody meerkats in it! (Grrr...)

Franklymydearidontgiveadam · 24/02/2020 22:54

Sunlife adverts annoy me. Unrealistic tripe where you'd go out of your way to discuss life or funeral plans with your neighbour.

The Mybuilder adverts...

Any vacuum hoover adverts

Mollypolly2610 · 24/02/2020 22:55

The one they’ve revived with all the women pissing themselves because it’s perfectly normal!

TeeniefaeTroon · 24/02/2020 22:57

The Virgin one with the sea lion. Lasers! Gives me the rage.

TeeniefaeTroon · 24/02/2020 22:59

@pelirocco123 It's a Rightmove advert. Reminds me of my parents 😂

IthinkIsawahairbrushbackthere · 24/02/2020 22:59

Cleans/Kills/Removes up to 100% - completely meaningless.

WalkingDeadTrainee · 24/02/2020 22:59

ANY perfume ad. What's going on. Who are they? Why are they there? Why the motorcycle? Who jumps in a pool in that dress? What drugs are the writers on? What does all of this have to do with the name? Or the smell? Can I wear it without ball gown?

So many questions. So little answers

Fartlek · 24/02/2020 23:00

The KFC one where a bunch of people lick their lips. Ewwwwww.

2020nymph · 24/02/2020 23:01

@Mollypolly2610 I was just coming on to say the same thing!

No Always, it's not bloody normal and women shouldn't just accept it. 🤬

Corrag · 24/02/2020 23:01

Bum....hips...heart....my dentist...blah blah...[squeaky voice + goofy grin]...I didn't know Oral B made a toothpaste!

TodaysFishIsTroutALaCreme · 24/02/2020 23:03

The one where the woman comes home at 3am and puts her music on full blast because she doesnt live with her parents anymore. Selfish twat

DappledThings · 24/02/2020 23:04

The one with the female couple heading to hospital with one of them in labour. One asks to go faster, the driver refuses saying, "we're doing 30". But it's on a wide, country A road that would clearly be NSL. All they had to do was either film it on an urban road or change the dialogue/visual of the dashboard to 60.

Obviously the Nationwide ones that claim to be poetry are an abomination.

TodaysFishIsTroutALaCreme · 24/02/2020 23:04

And the fucking trivago advert. Not bad for a 4 star hotel. Just piss off

HazelBite · 24/02/2020 23:06

Its June Dad!

justletitbe · 24/02/2020 23:06

the mcdonald one when the woman tries to eat and everyone watches her from the other side of the road from a bus.... tf??!!!

Everythingmagnolia · 24/02/2020 23:09

The Oral B one for me too, how can you know how to keep your heart healthy but not your mouth? And there's a weird part were I can't catch what she says and her mouth doesn't move as though it has been dubbed over. Hate it!

TooGood2BeTrue · 24/02/2020 23:09

Pancakes love Nutella, especially the female voiceover

mollypuss1 · 24/02/2020 23:09

Every single Trivago advert ever.

Franklymydearidontgiveadam · 24/02/2020 23:10

In fact all adverts seem to have an acoustic, breathy tone singer on them now, like the forever and ever by Rick bastard Astley.

Butteredtoast55 · 24/02/2020 23:10

I think June had a bit of a secret crush on Dad - just dropping his post in for him and calling in every now and then to chat about funeral plans!

”The one where the woman comes home at 3am and puts her music on full blast because she doesnt live with her parents anymore. Selfish twat“

I couldn’t agree more, @TodaysFishIsTroutALaCreme.

Can I add the Voltaire one, where the woman says “Let’s go exercise” and the dog thinks she said “extra fries” - surely people say “let’s go for a walk” not “let’s go exercise” - it is a stupid thing to say.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 24/02/2020 23:13

And another that has just come on the TV - “suffering from house-barrassment?” Don’t be ridiculous, Phil - that’s not a word, and is so stupid it will never BE one either!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 24/02/2020 23:13

Oops - autocorrect made Voltarol into Voltaire - a terribly cultured correction! Grin
