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?

Just seen another annoying ad! Cinch. (With Rylan. I think he is ok, but this ad is annoying!) Cinch is some car searching website. A man with 2 or 3 kids has got his wife pregnant again, and now it's TWINS! So they need a bigger car.

Rylan says 'all because you didn't get the ✂️' ... with his fingers doing a snipping movement. And the man shakes his head. At the end of the ad, Rylan says 'so what ya gonna do now?' The man sighs and shakes his head and says 'get the snip!' With the ✂️ gesture.

Just such a bad advert. Naff and badly written. Also, in bad taste (IMO) because it's shown at all hours of the day, and what if some kid asks 'what does he mean?'

I just hate it.

The bloody Super Noodle shouty advert.

The Lifebuoy hand sanitizer ad with the big green bogie
The advert that is just loads of slang names for penis

Complete the clean with Listerene - what twat thought ‘that’s what we need to advertise mouthwash...a donkey with a Scots accent’

Anything to do with leaking pee or shitty bums.

@the80sweregreat

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!)
Yes, me too. The family are so annoying and a judo instructor is never called a 'teacher'. The child would say 'sensei was sick' . Then the parents moan about movie night being cancelled - as dh pointed out, how long would the kids judo lesson have to be to allow the parents to enjoy a movie night?!

''How to I keep my mouth clean?''
My DS once made an unrepeatable remark on hearing this part of the advert

Have to revive this thread to share my loathing of the Carte d’Or ice-cream adverts with Sandi Toksvig!

Hair dye - "makes me feel super fresh" VOM

Mmmmdanone · 25/03/2021 22:06

The one where everyone goes "it's not milk" and there's even an annoying tune saying"it's not milk". Then, plot twist, it actually is fucking milk.

MsMarshaKlein · 26/03/2021 01:02

"I didn't know Oral B made toothpaste" seriously? What did she think Oral B made? Little hats made out of kitten farts and rainbows?

The one for Sun Life. Yeah, you might be talking about insurance but you can see that "June" doesn't want a his parsnips, she wants a portion. The sexual tension crackles between them. That's why his daughter is suddenly in the adverts, she's trying to stop her dad naming that sex vixen, June the sole benefactor of his insurance policy

Perf with surf gives me the rage 🤣

Stoppissingonmyheather · 26/03/2021 01:39

Jet2 and that stupid song all noble banker wanker ads like Lloyd's but I love just eat with snoop it makes me laugh every single time and the songs pretty good we need some do you do pot noodle hooker type ads love them (the adds not pot noodles)

Brochdogs · 26/03/2021 06:48

All those on LBC.

vampirethriller · 26/03/2021 07:04

The ice cream one with Sandi Toksvig is terrible. I can't look at it.

Another vote for idiot woman who says "i have a secret weapon down my pant" conjures up all sorts of horrific images

Here in The Netherlands they have an annual award for the worst TV advert of the year,decided by the public. The last winner had the same sort of advert on British TV - it was the sweet company where children's voices were dubbed on adult actors.

TheWernethWife · 26/03/2021 22:58

The Quick Books one - I think it is.
The woman at the front of the group should really have a better fitting bra, her boobs are bouncing up and down.

Lemmeout · 26/03/2021 23:09

Mute button. All ads get it. I do not want spoon feeding a load of rubbish ideas, jingles and sexual innuendo in an attempt to sell almost everything.

Matilda15 · 26/03/2021 23:44

I came here to see if that bloody vax advert was mentioned and it is!the what does that mean after every feature drives me mad!
The ‘daisy, daisy, daisy one is awful as well as is the tamoax ‘you’ve gotta get it up there girls’ 🤢

The Facebook portal one made me cry the first time I saw it. I had a baby in November and I really miss my Mum!

Dreadful advert. I wonder if the secret weapon is the bloody ASDA guy :)
DianaT1969 · 27/03/2021 00:13

Check a Trade
It's irritating and noisy. I'd never use it as a protest at how bad the advert is. Negative branding in action.
"Check Check Check Check a Trade dot com".

Wendyhause · 27/03/2021 09:42

A newish ad for those corner desserts. The one with the woman in the blue dress and white boots, prancing about then spilling the little chocolate balls.

What the Fkkkk!?

Raffles1981 · 27/03/2021 17:45

@DianaT1969 - good one. That check a trade is up there with "Oooonnn the Markeeett"

Just fuck off Angry

HideousKinky · 27/03/2021 17:59

The one where a couple, supposedly post-sex and very pleased with themselves, dance around to "You've done it all" - the ad is for viagra I think but I've never seen the end because I have to leave the room when it comes on - I just can't bear it, the cringe-ometer is off the scale

HideousKinky · 27/03/2021 18:04

Also the one for a cleaning product that begins with a very intense voice saying "Bacteria: We spray! We sponge! We wipe!"
