Annoying adverts

The Marc Jacobs ad with the women saying, "Dasiy, dasiy, dasiy," over and over gets on my wick. Irrational I know. What ads irritate you?

I don't like the Daisy one either. Most perfume ads are odd or annoying though.
The Halifax poetry ones are also terrible.
The one with Rylan Clark and his cars. I like him , but the ad isn't great.

The government covid ones are my least favourite, but that Daisy advert has made damn sure I never buy Daisy perfume! Also agree about Nationwide - I don’t want poetry forced upon me 😂

Andrex loo roll.I don't want to hear about your clean bottom or look at a Labradors bum hole either.🤮.Grim.

Easterbunnygettingready · 04/03/2021 19:22

Car gurus ad.
Surely guru is pronounced goo roo?
Ad says garoo.. Boils me so much!!

The Brut ad does my head in. I'm sure he says "all you need is Brew". Is this a new thing? I thought it was Brut, pronounced Brute. Am I wrong? It's been taking up a lot of head space

Beseigedbykillersquirrels · 04/03/2021 19:25

Yep, the, "I feel as clean as a..." are just intolerable. Utterly awful idea and I can't believe they've stuck with it. Also the shit Nationwide ones, they make me switch over. Also dislike the usual Go Compare such.

the80sweregreat · 04/03/2021 19:27

Yes, the andrex one is weird. All those bottoms and dogs! I hate bums ( especially my own)
IKEA is also a bit annoying ' the wonderful everyday' well, it is because it's only click and collect!

the80sweregreat · 04/03/2021 19:30

The leaf blower one. It's McDonald's I think , poor woman's hair blowing around.

Sparklesocks · 04/03/2021 19:31

The trend of cover songs slowed down with breathy female vocalists. Ugh, hate it.

Airbnb are big offenders at the moment - I wonder if they’re doing a big push for when households are allowed to book self contained accommodation again. Landslide especially feels like an odd change as it’s so sad and melancholic - doesn’t quite hype me up to book a holiday!

Sparklesocks · 04/03/2021 19:32

*choice not change

ShirleyPhallus · 04/03/2021 19:32

Another vote for nationwide

I had inspirational quotes
I had poetry
I hate stage school kids with their earnest, mournful eyes at the camera

Those adverts have it all. Awful. Turn off.

Greenandcabbagelooking · 04/03/2021 19:34

The one for Vinted clothes featuring the woman with a piercing through her nose that looks like the one farmers put the the noses of bulls.

No.

the80sweregreat · 04/03/2021 19:37

Is it stockpot or oxo ad where the kids in their karate outfits say ' the teacher was ill' and make sick noises! It is horrible.
(There is one that I like a lot but I can't remember what it is!)

ssd · 04/03/2021 19:39

Oh the exact same as you @JellyNo15

Daisy advert is awful

the80sweregreat · 04/03/2021 19:40

I did like the Asda Christmas ads though and usually I'm not keen on Xmas ads.
It's lockdown I think ..

huggzy · 04/03/2021 19:42

Bloody postcode lottery 😡

MaizeBlouse · 04/03/2021 19:45

The Dani Dyer one where she says 'it's perf!' or something equally inane. She's so dead behind the eyes.

the80sweregreat · 04/03/2021 19:48

Perf off! I didn't realize that was Dani Dyer.
It is a very annoying cheap ad. Surf brings me up in a rash so it can perf off.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 04/03/2021 19:54

Any of the Asda ads. That poppy-eyed pillock makes me want to punch the screen!

‘Free weights - or should I say, pee weights’. No love, you really shouldn’t.

Anything for over 50s life and funeral cover. Do people really get to an age where talking about insurance policies all day long fascinates them? Why are they all so happy at the thought of their impending deaths? So pleased that the children ‘can decide for themselves how they want to spend it’? Yeah, blow the funeral money on a cruise and chuck Grandad in a fucking skip!

Vogue Williams making ‘lots of little noises when I care for Theodore’. I make lots of noise too when I hear the advert - a violent retching noise 🤮🤮🤮

Cheeseandlobster · 04/03/2021 19:55

Clicky fingers above continence pads
Over 50's life plans
Water aid and other heartstring ads endorsed by celebrities

Oh Christ yes. The bloody mother gawping like a codfish because a Judo teacher was sick and a friend had to cancel the cinema - people discover with less drama. Linda Bellingham wouldn’t have let that shit faze her.

I can't get my head around the fact that Brut is back in fashion 😂😂

My dentist said .... Fuck Off !

The meerkats

Anything about bladder weakness

Bluebellpainting · 04/03/2021 20:00

The covid ad- in particular the look them in the eyes one. I can’t put into words why so much (I’m a healthcare worker following the rules) but it unsettles me- almost like we are blaming some people for getting covid in the first place.

The new oat milk one-the kid talking about his dad having cows milk. It just wasn’t clear what they were advertising. My DH had to explain it

All bingo & gambling ones
The one that says erectile dysfunction is often found in men, who the duck else would have it?
