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...

Flash ad with a man and his dog. Another murder of a song also. Cillit Bang and Barry gets gagged

Slightly off topic but is the Flash mop-man the dodgy toe-sucking vicar from Poldark? If it is, he scrubs up well, in more ways than one.

Tampax "get it up there" ewwww

Moch you may just be right. Haha dodgy toe sucking vicar. That has just made me laugh out loud. Thanks!

The new Tena Lady one with the "peee weights" and "something special in my pants".
Just head for your GP love. If you can of course.

Maggienolia yuck. We turn the sound off for most adverts. I am quite glad now I know what I am missing.

The laura Whitmore advert where she's exercising with the games controller hoop thingy. She leans forward and half her arse is hanging out of her shorts.
Go compare. Every single one.
Perf with surf. It's the simpering laugh that gets me
Pot noodle one.

Jane plan
"It's so easy all my food is pre-chewed" as dh loves to shout over it

Oh and any advert celebrities are banging on about paying for a funeral plan so their families don't have to.
Fuck off Debbie mcgee I'm sure you can afford a funeral

Nearly all of them, which is why I mostly record and zoom through.

A particular hate is that Voltarol one with the dog that doesn’t do exercise! WTF?? Presumably it’s dubbed from the American version. A previous version had the bloody annoying woman saying to the dog, ‘Let’s go exercise!’ - which is not Brit-speak.

The one where Professor Green sits on a washing machine. Jesus. It's awful. I pause it for 30 seconds then move on

The song/jingle for 'on the market' (same service as Rightmove).

It's so out of tune that it makes my ears hurt.

There’s also an annoying trend at the moment for supposed piss-take adverts where an indulgent voiceover will say ‘We take the finest special reserve cocoa, perfectly ripened hazelnuts, lashings of the richest, creamiest milk and blend them expertly...’ before cutting out and someone in a no-nonsense voice saying ‘Actually, it’s just a really good tasty bar of chocolate. Simple’. (Or bread, wine or whatever.)

It’s supposed to be poking fun at pretentious ad cliches, but there are so many around it’s become a cliche in itself.

Has anyone mentioned the nationwide one yet about the guy talking about doing yoga at home?
Jesus what does he look like?!?!

The song/jingle for 'on the market' (same service as Rightmove). It's so out of tune that it makes my ears hurt.

Oh god yes. They all look embarrassed to be there. You can practically here them thinking ‘Maybe my mother was right - maybe acting IS a dead end. Maybe I should have opened a sweet shop like she said. Everyone likes sweets.’

Imagine if the poor woman is on Mumsnet and read that? Think before you type about actual people

This is the weirdest comment I've read on mumsnet today. You even got the scolding face in hahah

Phillip Schofield here.......

Oral B have thankfully dropped 'I didn't even know Oral B made a toothpaste' in their ad. I also hated the Trivengo wine ad that featured a load of big headed blokes boasting about how great they are...bellends.

Jane plan "It's so easy all my food is pre-chewed" as dh loves to shout over it

. What was her PR company thinking ... ?

Is it bad that I have a soft spot for the Go Compare man?

Oh and the guy with the over-sized thumbs-up hand gives me the creeps

Anything where they take a good song and do a terrible breathy acoustic version (I’m looking at you, Lloyds)

Latest Volvo ad.. Every morning at half past 4
Song does my head in.
And every advert for kitchen or bathroon cleaners (looking at you Flash) were the before scenes are not just mucky but like they've not been cleaned in months, especially the floors. And don't get me started on the food stains on the surfaces

Yes to JanePlan. Annoying people. And Jane is cross eyed.

I have invented the "Fuzzyplan Diet". You buy your usual food, and send half of it to me. Win win.

i have a phobia of things that are out of scale so the giant Ojo hands give me the horrors.

Hotter ad is so bloody annoying. They have closed some of their Hotter shops and shoes are now only available from shoe shops/garden centres that stock a small range or to buy online.

I want to try on in store, not have to pay for delivery and then schlep to the Post Office to return them.

Bad thinking Hotter, encouraging people to buy your shoes but restricting the choice.
