Stupid adverts- I'll start...

[BitOfFun]

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 with baby Theodore about the clicks on the detergent capsules. The Mum is just so sodding irritating.

I am not sure I particularly like watching e.g. Endeavour or some other detective series and someone tried to tell me a preternaturally hatch back car means "drama" - Any of those little cars - I am sure some people do , but I can't tell the difference between them. & if I am going to buy one then I will not be driving it through the painted desert or Monaco. It's for nipping round the corner or going to my parents. Buying a cheap hatch back does not transport me into a glamorous life with shiny children and a husband who looks like he should be a model - and breathe - Quite happy with my life - a rubbish hatchback won't alter it one jot - so to answer the question - I dislike little hatchback car advertisements

How about anything our Olympians have to suffer in order to get funding?

The purple bricks one where the estate agent lady unconvincingly kicks the Taekwondo bag. Or Dina Asher-Smith trying to convince us that she runs and then stops for a sugar-loaded pile of crap that is Muller Corner.

Zing flowers - a total drip gushes about her first bouquet (basically weeds picked by an indigent boyfriend). She was so thrilled that he gave him a snog. Bletch.

What the ad doesn’t tell us is that nowadays she does a blowjob for a bunch of daffs and goes all the way for a dozen roses. Anal is a Sainsbury’s deluxe bouquet.

Anything with Ant and Dec

That advert for the Hilton where the mum's on the phone telling her daughter how great the hotel is and as soon as she mentions the cookie the daughter says "Can I come to the hotel?"

Cut to the girl arriving in a taxi and running to the hotel staff to get her cookie.

Surely there are cheaper ways of getting your child a warm cookie than booking a night at the Hilton?

As a pp says, 'Luke' advertising Ring doorbell.
I don't believe the police came and looked at footage of someone looking under his mat and touching his door, dusted for prints and convicted someone ...

Cancer research where the cameras film people being told.
Specifically the one with the old guy who's told he has prostate cancer and breaks down in tears whilst his wife just sits there smiling and patting his knee.

I turn these off. They give me the fucking rage.

A lot of adverts try to be woke, but always by featuring an interracial couple that's a black woman and a white man or two women in a lesbian relationship - you don't see any other types of couples combination.

The one with a woman who has a tampon string that appears to issue directly from the middle of her knickers. It's not empowering.

Oral B one for me too, but because she says 'funnily, the dentist said...' it grinds my gears everytime, it's funnily enough, not just funnily! Shout at the TV everytime

There used to be a ( bird's eye?) pea one where the family had dinners with a large helping of peas on each plate and a whole tureen of additional peas was put on the table, just in case it wasn't enough and they needed another 33 portions each.

Also the ones where the woman keeps slowly touching and brushing up against her walk in bath to show how much she really, really loves it.

That reminds me of the potato advert at the moment - I think it is for Albert Bartlett or a similar brand of potatoes where a father an daughter and dancing and cooking together while jazz band members hide in their cupboards (no there's a sentence I never thought I'd write). The mum comes home and they dish up dinner with every type of potato product imaginable on the table - chips, wedges mash, etc. I always end up muttering at the tv, that there are too many potato products for 3 people and if the advertisers wanted to get the point across about the versatility of their spuds, I can think of several alternate advert storylines which would make far more sense.

The ones I've not yet seen mentioned:

• Chewing gum where the guy kisses the zombie girl because it's fine, she's had Wrigleys or whatever - and her arm falls off
• Martin Freeman's adverts (TalkTalk?) where he's talking to people at weddings or on park benches about how they need to stop filming or watching TV because of their bandwidth
• The Fairy liquid one where everyone's shaking their plastic containers out and dancing
• There was an advert where various babies and toddlers gaa gaa goo goo'd the tune to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - teeth-grindingly annoying

”I'm not even sure what the advert is for - some tech company - where the little girl is walking to school giving a monologue about the good and bad sides of technology ("it was the best of times, it was the worst of times"), she gets to school and all her classmates are doing exciting, creative things. DH and I always shout at the TV that all that technology can't get her to school on time. Invest in an alarm clock, love!“

Ohh yes - me too, @TakeYour Canvas Bags!

The British Seniors saving plan. Where the grandmother goes around acting like a general dogooder, charity collecting, face painting, cooking for all her family. "That was a cracking roast" says grandad sat afterwards with his feet up. "Yes, mums always done us proud" says her adult daughter, as grandma smiles on proudly. Infuriatingly. Have some self worth woman.

I also love the Lloyds horsey advert and the 3 one with the Shetland pony in a jumper. Basically it's hard to go wrong with a horse or a pony. Don't make it talk though.

I've just googled that...it's hilarious. Mmm for tea tonight it's two jacket potatoes each, some chips , some crispy topped baked mash with rosemary spikes, a huge bowl of bacon and a side salad. That's some carb loading.

The pea family are in a 2017 bird's eye ad.

Lenor - bedgasm. Idiotic.

McDonalds adverts are mostly super annoying but I Love the little girl wearing the rubber glove hat for her swimming lesson, she properly sells that scenario!

The pea family does sound like something my DM would do. Despite the fact that out of all of us (6 adults and 2 kids when we all visit), only my DB will eat peas. She doesn't like them herself but I swear she buys a family sized bag of frozen ones and just boils the lot when we all visit. No matter what meal she makes.

Im sad about this, I used to really enjoy hating adverts but I now dont watch them I hate them so much. Its a vicious circle.

The woman with the long ginger hair seems to have found herself in a hothouse, she then starts prancing around only to be caught short by one of the employees, I think its a shampoo ad, utterly ridiculous.

Also another long haired ginger lady, who acts like a complete idiot advertising wowcher - so banal. Makes me cringe.

And who is the little lady ecstatically throwing her arms around this chaps waist and cuddling him tightly, think its a lottery ad, her leggings are horrendous.Think he has told her she has just come into money, that's good, perhaps she will treat herself to a new pair of trousers.

Actually my secret pleasure used to be watching old recorded videos from the 90s for the adverts. You can find compilations on youtube now.

Sit back with some Beautiful South, a bowl cut and enjoy

oh my god I recognise that lollipop lady at 3.50

Has anyone mentioned the adults with kids voices Haribo one?

Sweet the first time but now just creepy and annoying

@sueelleker I think that's the BT one?
