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?

I love the girl with the £1 advert!

DingleberryRose I don’t think the reactions in that advert were scripted.

All the Trivago ones. I cannot understand why they use that same woman in all of them. She can't act and makes me want to punch the TV

Too many to mention
Simon Cowell with Barclaycard as if he has to worry about minimum payments.
Same as Ant and Dec with Santander mortgage rates.
I try to record everything with adverts and fast forward.

It's probably already been said but that Nutella one at the moment where mum makes everyone breakfast and no one says bye

'bye mum, thanks for breakfast mum, have a good day darling'

Fucking hate it. And the completely unrealistic drawing she then finds in the cupboard thanking her for breakfast. Wouldn't happen.

OP 100% agree and hd exact same thought about the Alexa Ad.

And the fucking trivago advert. Not bad for a 4 star hotel. Just piss off
And the smug voice!
^This - and I'd be saying "cancel my room please I am not staying in the same hotel as these smug twats"

The fact so many people have mentioned that selfish bitch and her music in the Barclays advert confirms Mumsnet people really are my people. Actually think that should be banned.

Can’t believe more people haven’t said the Trivago advert though, it’s horrendous - the gold card, smugness, terrible acting, cliche ridden nonsense. It’s actually like an advert they create in an apprentice task.

The Turkey one - so Turkey wasss.... yessss... wowwwww

Simon Cowell with Barclaycard as if he has to worry about minimum payments.
I cannot imagine who thought he's be a good idea for that - then again I have recently given up my Barclaycard because of their ridiculous online security and terrible customer service, so I am probably not the target market.

The Starbucks one. Jemma clearly needs therapy rather than drinking overpriced and overrated coffee. Even if I did like the coffee I’d boycott now I know they donate to ChildabusersRus fucking Mermaids.

the Trivago advert though, it’s horrendous - the gold card, smugness, terrible acting, cliche ridden nonsense. It’s actually like an advert they create in an apprentice task.
I bet it was made by the same people who used to do the Ferro Rocher ones.
IIRC, though some adverts are deliberately annoying so you remember them.

All of the above, apart from the Jet 2 advert. When it comes on I try and grab my dh's hand (cos he needs guiding round like a moron!) and he tries to get away. He nearly fell out of bed the other night when it was on, oh how I laughed. I've found out how to cast the song to google home and the tv, evening well spent!

Occasionally I sit down during the day and put the tv on. Usually when I am having lunch.

I flick from one channel to another and all seem to be about cancer or funeral plans or going blind. All completely depressing

As for June. How does she reach the conclusion that Jeff is going hiking when he is holding a pair of binoculars?

”mum's angry pasta"

😂

My most hated are the We Hire Any Twat ads with Philip Schofield. He doesn't need the cash and his voice grates. Also Oral-B woman- what did you think they sold?? All gambling ads- especially sleazy foxy bingo fox , are you gonna bingo and those awful ones narrated by Rylan- nails down a blackboard voice, ugh.

Less irritating but still hate: perfume and skincare ads (stop wrecking clothes in the pool, J Law) and the leaden Nationwide poem ones (although they're an improvement on Flo & Joan) - Nationwide also always seem to hire people who look like they need a bath. The wallbanging sex Rightmove ad annoys me- it's tacky- and the Barclays ones addressing "money". I had 2 house purchases breakdown last year trying to get on the ladder & had 3 rounds of mindless, endless solicitors paperwork. I HATED that woman in her new home! Especially since it was so messy and she was a bad neighbour! The really squeaky voiced sofa sale lady who can't act deserves a painful death, too.

Ones I like: Graham love, the dancing sloth, the Worcester boiler one where the cat lets his mates in. I also like the Aunt Bessie one because it's so naff. I always shout "a horse, Georgie!" along with the tv.

Oh and smug Trivago woman. I bet she's mates with stupid oral-b lady.

Another vote for the radio advert for Ring Doorbell!

"Hi, delivery"
"Thanks, can you leave it with a neighbour"

So annoying, but the kids and I now play a game to come up with a better answer......

"Hi, delivery"
"Thanks, can you lob it over the garden fence like you were going to anyway"

There’s one on radio where young kids sing I gotta be me and they all start laughing at the end in a “oh we are having so much fun” way. I just want to punch them all. I think the ad has something to do with Paloma Faith too (I think it’s her song) and I can’t stand her forced quirkyness.

That Sunlife one drives me bonkers as they look like a Value Range Karl and Susan Kennedy! I cant unsee it and it just irks me. 😆

Love this thread!

Mine are a bit older but I hate and still get annoyed at the Brita Filter "It's my lovely cup of tea" one.

And I decided I couldn't buy a next to me cot cos the "Chico, wherever there's a baby" gave me the rage!

“Right said Fred
We wanna help the family
Let’s talk about releasing equity

So Keith came to our place
Explained it all at our pace
We worked out the best plan
And then, we had a cup of tea.

[musical interlude]

So, if you’re thinking of releasing equity
Then good advice is key!”

It took commitment to learn all the lyrics and music to this ad, but I was willing to put in the effort - in the same way that I can quote at will the entire script of “Mean Girls”.

Confused.com rewards with the guy driving and then canned clapping and cheering. It’s on at breakfast time on channel 4.

I don’t know what they were trying to do with it. It’s just awful.

I can't bear the Gala Bingo ones, with the scummy looking couple, especially when he's lying in bed with a cold, and a mound of used tissues around him. I actually said to my husband what are these adverts all about!

Also the bingo ones where it makes it look that if you join up, you'll make loads of friends and all be out having a good time.

I like the girl with the pound too. Also like the dogs trust one with a little knitted figure of a man, and he adopts a dog

The Mr Kipling advert makes me sad!
The one with the little boy, who's trying to get a cake for his sister.
I just feel like nobody in his family likes him and he seems so downtrodden... Not that I'm reading too much into it 😁

Perfume ads, especially the ones with Charlize Theron and Cate Blanchett. Strutting around as if they own the world just because they smell nice. Grrr.
