Most hated adverts

[StillCoughingandLaughing]

I know we’ve had this thread before, but there’s a barrel-load of infuriatingly shit advertising out there, so I think it’s time for another one

Your starters for ten:

McDonald’s - boy gets his mum’s old car for his birthday. Looks at it like she iced his birthday cake in shit. Eventually decides free car isn’t so bad, blasts out a bit of Westlife and then presents her with a cold box of nuggets - paid for with the change SHE left in the car. Yeah, thanks mum - here’s some cheap fast food YOU paid for! Not even a bloody McFlurry for afters!

Phillips shavers/depilators etc., where everything is a badly-written little poem. ‘If shaving is boring and you can’t be arsed, Phillips hyperblade precision technology will remove stubble fast’.

The new Asda campaign. I know Walmart is selling Asda off, so it’s not a priority brand, but surely they could have afforded more than 46p on the ad budget? Although I think the agency got change.

Go Compare man has a chat with his real-life self. Why do we need a promo for his opera ‘career’ when they’re trying to flog insurance?

I know I’ll think of more...

Mr Bing and I love the Ribena one :) If his actual job was picking blackberries and he stood admiring a single one for the 30 seconds the advert takes, he'd be sacked!

I seem to have 'We are veggies, we are tasty...' going around and around in my head again.

The Ribenaberries were all cannibals.

He's clearly talking to someone who is visiting the farm which is part of his job hahahah

@MootingMirror, see? You're invested in the advert. I reckon you secretly love it.

I can't bear that flirty, hair-tossy, sheet-rolly woman in the Trivago ads. I just want to smack her for being so attention-seeking. Sorry, probably internalised misogyny etc.

Anything with Philip Schofield - ugh
Perf with surf- stupid phrase, moronic actress
Tampax "gorra gerrum up there girls" - a) I hate tampax & use lillets anyway, b) surely this is a fundamental of tampon use- it's in the fucking instructions!!! c) it's not really an advert, more a PSA, and d) that womans voice is grating.
Anything from Tena Lady. Bigger boobs blessed or trickles of joy, anyone?

Yes, it is. Save your anger for whoever conceived and signed off the advert...

Go Compare opera singer

Cillit Bang - Barry Scott

R Whites - “I’m a secret lemonade drinker”

Ooh, just remembered...

'I found bladder-leak underwear that's actually PREUUUUUHHHTTY' woman.

And that perfume one with all the people saying 'perfect' over and over until the final one who sounds like she's got a whole case of silver spoons in her gob going 'parhfect'

The current Dunelm one where the nurse comes in though her front door and removes her bra in a manner that is not physically possible! Places bra on a shelf by the front door and it is then retrieved by her dog who couldn't possibly reach the shelf (OK, OK so it fell off!).
Do love the karate granny though . . .

I hadn't seen the "get em up there girls" Tampax advert. Just looked it up. I actually like it. Informative, addresses a common problem, lighthearted and definitely better than being told I should be paragliding, or farting around rock pools in a white dress.

There was an advert years ago for some sanitary towel brand that showed women skydiving and all that, then cut to a very pissed off looking woman stuffing her face with chocolate while rolling her eyes, while the voice over said something like, "Well, obviously you don't HAVE to do all that, I mean, you just....could..." I liked that one too.

Jenny Eclair and the other woman doing the vaginal dryness advert... Mum hates the advert with the man and those horrendously tight shorts!!!

@SlopesOff

I heartily agree. Along with chomping, munching and slurping/ slooping. Then going aaaaaah.

Laura Whitmore does it in her ad, then takes a big spoon of cereal in the most unnatural way ever.

But that Apple woman shrinks my organs.

Any of those Nicole Scherzinger yoghurt adverts from a while back.

In fact most yoghurt adverts aimed at women now you mention it.

Bring back the Flake Girl.

Vodaphone advert , I hate her chirpy squeaky little voice .
The current advert goes "screech screech .......then in a normal voice Oh that's a great deal might get that myself then back to "schreech"

So you CAN talk in a normal voice

I switch the radio off when it comes on (usually at least twice) on my drive to work

Those vegetables that sing WE ARE VEGGIES WE ARE HEALTHY...YES YOU KNOW ITS TRUE! really grates.

Anything with a twee poem (nationwide).

Or the recent advert trend of being soundtracked with a dance song from the 80s/90s slowed down and sung acapella, nightmare.

Claudia Winkelmans head and shoulder ads.. she's just so annoying bless her!

Tena ...little bit of wee!!!
Haribo....stupid voices

I got into trouble last time: "NO! THE LASAGNE!"

There's a Moonpig ad on the radio where the woman sings about getting a card for her brother's girlfriend who she wants to become friends with, but she sings the last note in a long, drawn out "Ta dah!" way, which is irritating

So sick of the erectile dysfunction ads ....

I also dislike the Go Compare one - I can't understand why they are running it. A tenor talking about his own career doesn't tell me much about insurance.

The Vax advert, where they ask questions and answer themselves immediately. "This uses the Vax Dooberry Thingy" "What's that?" "It's a trademark vacuum cleaner thingy."

@SlopesOff

The noisy apple eating woman? That is a denture glue ad, not Oral B.

Would love to shove that apple down her throat, along with the dentures.

You mean the one where she is clinging on inside a giant mouth and in small letters it says "dramatization". Who knew!
