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?

The worthy woman in the Amazon advert
Really not convinced, Amazon you tax avoiding bastads...
And it's her accent. Not because she's American.. most American accents don't grate on me.. but she is something else. Makes me quite murderous.

There must be some adverts that are not shown in different regions because I haven't seen all of these (Scotland)

The one that has me shouting at the telly is the one with someone shouting all the different names for a willy. It just goes on and on, presumably it's some kind of shock tactic - "Ooh listen we're shouting names for men's bits in the middle of the day" - but I hate it!

The fibre One brownies ad where the words to ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ are changed. The ending being “I finally found the right snaaaack!”.

Hate. It.

ssd · 05/03/2021 08:02

As an aside. I love the just eat ad, I think its great!

Elai1978 · 05/03/2021 08:10

“Perf with surf” - fuck off and die you vacuous twat!

Nsky · 05/03/2021 08:12

The bold adverts, such fake crap, and the product ...............not going there

thereisonlyoneofme · 05/03/2021 10:29

The one with a nose with a finger excavating a bogie, cant even remember what it was for , yuck

Genehuntsfanclub · 05/03/2021 10:42

I really hate one sometimes played on LBC. It's for a solicitors that "specialises in helping men going through divorce" it's so misogynistic

Barnowl25 · 05/03/2021 11:01

The on line gambling ones that suggest if you join up you'll make friends and have fun and eat pizza when in reality you will just lose large sums of money - they should be sued for false advertising.
And the funeral ads ; I have told my family if they spend £7000 on my funeral I shall come back and kick them up the arse.

I thought that too with those lbc radio ads! Men, come and speak to us if you want to screw over your soon to be ex wife for every penny. Awful advert. The quick books one with the heavy metal music is also terrible. I liked it at first , but not now.
Oldraver · 05/03/2021 11:32

The Nationwide ones. The poetry and gesticulating. OH always moans they have all gone to the same drama school

The did damn Go Compare man . Was awful when he was dressed like a twat, the ooh look it's me ain't I wonderful are even worse

Charmatt · 05/03/2021 11:42

Nationwide - I hate the 'meaningful' poetry from failed actors

Lloyds Bank - but any advert with a song slowed down and sung in a drawn out fashion, but particularly when the singers aren't up to much and it feels like they are trying to say they can sing it better than Karen Carpenter!

One last year - can't remember what for - an acapella version of 'Forever in Electric Dreams' - wtf?

Any of the car selling adverts
Any comparison website advert
The bloody Daisy one!

StillCoughingandLaughing · 05/03/2021 11:49

Just remembered another one - I think the brand is called Arla. But anyway, lots of people drink milk, including a posh older woman on a sun lounger using a champagne glass, and then they all look shocked and say, ‘Wait; it’s NOT milk?!’ Before the big reveal of ‘It’s NOT milk - it’s fresh milk filtered for a creamier cleaner taste’ (or words to that effect). So fucking milk then!! Filtered milk is still milk - the clue’s in the name!!

Nocar · 05/03/2021 13:18

I keep getting vinted adverts on youtube. Came here looking to see if anyone else finds the females in them as creepy as I do. Lisa the sustainable fashion blogger and that woman with nose piercing, has this quiet psychopath energy, I am convinced she is just making room in her wardrobes to keep more dead bodies.

hollyandkit · 05/03/2021 13:31

I hate when someone is putting on an accent. There's one on local radio in the south west for 'Baaaaath's clean airrrrrr zowne'. You're meant to be from Bath, not a mumerset peasant from the 17th century!!

ViciousJackdaw · 05/03/2021 14:03

Anything where a perfectly good song is murdered by some wispy-voiced young woman.
The Fever Tree ad where they 'go to the ends of the earth' to find Mexican orange essence. Why not just go to Mexico?

JovialNickname · 05/03/2021 14:13

The toilet paper one with all the close-ups of bumholes

The NHS covid one. Who knew you could look both contemptuous and patronising whilst wearing breathing apparatus. Turns out you can

Crankley · 05/03/2021 15:18

Oral B - the ad agency must have scoured the country to find the most gormless women to be in the ads.

shumway · 05/03/2021 15:30

Agree with the kids making sick noises one and the what does that mean one. Another I hate is the one with the loud donkey. Think it's for super noodles or something.

Daleksatemyshed · 05/03/2021 15:31

Perf with surf drives me mad but I love the AA ad with the dog in front the
fan

Fairy ad with a click clack and Vogue.

Raffles1981 · 05/03/2021 21:56

"Perf with Surf" I do worry about her child. What will she teach?? And the Jet2 holiday ad with jess glynne song... Ugh. And the pot noodle one, with the donkey on the old woman's back. I have to mute that shit. Too loud and the long note held.... Jingles my nerves.

swashbucklecheer · 05/03/2021 22:11

There's one on YouTube for honey that involves some bloke screaming at you about buying stuff on line. Just talk ffs. It always scares the shite out of me when it blasts through the speakers

sst1234 · 05/03/2021 22:25

Nationwide again. It’s actually pathetic that a building society is trying so hard to be all virtuous, woke and all those fashionable things. What they should actually focus on is why do they have such crap products. Never seen competitive interest rates from them.
