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?

Think it's for confused, older bloke in a car and he fucks about with the focus... "when did free stuff stop being free, why do you have to buy something to get a free thing, money supermarket is changing this by erm... giving you something free when you buy something

🤔

Alongside the ones I've previously admitted to, I also hate the "I Can Daughter" daughter - annoying voice and annoying ad and Heather Watson selling sanpro. She's annoying to listen to- I had to watch her with subtitles on to realise her pad has side-barriers not SABRES. Weaponised san-pro and tennis playing surely don't mix.

I also used to loathe the old HSBC ads with the ghastly whiny little american brat selling lemonade like it was the holy grail. I used to long for another recession to wipe her lemonade stand out. Great advert concept but the child was dreadful and I wouldn't have stirred a finger if she fell in an industrial shredder.

Is anyone else creeped out by the knitted singing fanny in one of the san-pro ads? Might be Bodyform?

I love the chocolate finger one that has come back - with the boy who gives the other boy his tin of chocolates

The Carex ones with the idiots from Towie - I do not understand the appeal of those sisters whatsoever. Enough to make me never buy the product.

Anything that begins 'Philips Schofield here

And if I didn’t give him creepy enough before, the ads with a tiny Scofe sitting on people’s arms dealing out sage advice

The Alexa radio ad that has the opening lines to ‘Cone Together’ on it, as the song is such unmitigated shyte and it’s on EVERY ad break.

Oral B
All perfume adverts

Two unnecessarily creepy cat-related ads:

• The Dreamies advert where he advocates catnapping and lies to score with the ladies.
• 'Oh baaaaby baby feeeeed me' not sure how you've gone from cat food to creepy guy singing sexy lounge songs in a velvet suit but ok.

I hate the OralB ones too...''i didn't even know OralB made a toothpaste!'' The clue's in the name, what did you think they made, bog roll?

Any perfume advert. I find them all utterly utterly ridiculous

Two veg-based ones. The singing frozen veg, trilling about ‘eating in full colour’ being fun to do, and the vegetables are monsters, ‘eat them to defeat them’ one - both equally irritating.

@Barnowl25 I actually have the rage just thinking about her saying it 😂
Don’t they run adverts by us normal folk who can immediately point out how to say ‘protected’ and tell the makers of the adverts that they’re utter crap?!

MrsToothyBitch A knitted singing fanny?! Can I find this on YouTube

I was going to say the "I didn't know oral B did toothpaste" too.

The Vics Vaporub one where the woman is rubbing it on the child’s chest (fair enough) then on the man’s chest (like he couldn’t possibly do it himself)

Sorry OP, I see you already mentioned the Vicks one. It makes me so annoyed!

It's a long thread now, pongopig! To be fair, I suppose if he was seen rubbing it in himself, it could come across as a bit sleazy ,

I don't know if it has been mentioned yet because I'm only halfway through the thread, but the Arla "it's not milk" ad which ends with "fresh milk that's filtered for purity"

So, milk, no?

@ALongHardWinter it's the one set to "Praise You" by Fatboy Slim. It contains said knitted singing fanny and other images designed to suggest female genitalia. I can't see it on YT exactly as it was on TV but if you Google Body Form Viva La Vulva, you'll get the full length version, I think. It's great that they showed red blood on TV with it but I'm a bit labia'd out by the end of the video... plus all the "singing lips" just get a bit much.

All the bloody bingo adverts Ojo and Sky bingo annoy me most,
Also the pot noodle one with the donkey

The coffee bag ones suggesting that it's never been done before. I had coffee bags for work back in the 80's!

The Guide Dogs one, where he says "thank you" at the end. Why are you thanking me, I haven't donated? Feels like moral blackmail, with the assumption that you will donate.

Just about every single perfume ad, pretentious bollocks all of them.

There is one ad I do like. The one where Susan Calman is advertising The Bank of Scotland. A Morningside lady asks her, 'Are you lost, wee laddie?'

I love Susan Calman (if I could pick a celeb to be friends with, she'd be top of the list) so I agree with you about that, @derxa.

She only popped in for a French stick! Fucking fucks fucking sake!
