Maybe I’m getting old and grumpy, but loads of adverts are annoying the hell out of me these days.

The Chanel no 5 ‘we’re on each other’s teeeeeam’ 🎶 one with Marion Cotillard. Grates on me and seems to be everywhere.

Spidey66 · 14/12/2021 13:17

Daisy, Daisy, Daisy fucking Daisy.

Or any ad with Rylan Clark in.

ToffeeNotCoffee · 14/12/2021 13:17

It makes no sense, is out of context but I love the song as I love the artist that sang it originally.

The advert, 'the best excuse is Christmas' that's been around since October.

The nothing's gonna stop me this year Tesco advert which I thought was a bit previous.......

fancyfrogs · 14/12/2021 13:19

@Spidey66 YES the daisy one
Can't fucking stand it but don't really know why.

ToffeeNotCoffee · 14/12/2021 13:20

The advert for perfume that starts with her saying, 'wake up' there's then lots of random 'dream sequence perfection' footage.

It ends with, 'and you, what would you do for love ?'

I say, out loud, 'be a model and be paid to take part in a perfume ad where experiences are beyond perfection when you have a set director, a make up artist etc etc etc'

JuergenSchwarzwald · 14/12/2021 13:22

Most of them. But mainly perfume ads - YY to the incredibly annoying Daisy Daisy one - and the I'm perfect perfect perfect one.

And then all the ones with loud awful music like the British Gas and Oral B ads.

And the Just Eat jingle.

And the Cinch ads. Why do we need a "geezer" - surely that's sending out exactly the wrong message about buying a car from Cinch?

I am a grumpy old(ish) woman.

Mrsjayy · 14/12/2021 13:23

Adam Driver racing a horse in the aftershave ad wtaf Adam you are better than that Hmm

Natalie Portman shouting in her perfume Ad

This is Ms Portmans advert and she just needs to stopit!

Daisy, Daisy, Daisy fucking Daisy.

@Spidey66 We are so on the same wavelength.

Or any ad with Rylan Clark in.
I can't bear him. I have to mute or switch over. Put it first because he's the more irritating of the two. By a long, long way.

Daisy, Daisy, Daisy fucking Daisy.
Hate it. And the other shit Marc Jacobs advert. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Just so irritating.

pepperaunt · 14/12/2021 13:27

Hello my people! I have to turn the volume off or leave the room whenever I hear Daisy Daisy Daisy

WomanStanleyWoman · 14/12/2021 13:27

@Spidey66

Daisy, Daisy, Daisy fucking Daisy.

Or any ad with Rylan Clark in.

Even the models start laughing halfway through ‘Daisy, Daisy, Daisy’, as if they’ve realised how stupid it is but are just trying to push on because they’ve already mentally spent the fee.

I can’t stand the Viking River Cruises ad, where that woman with the weird sing-song voice waxes lyrical about the ‘engaging excursions and cultural enrichment on board and at shore’. I always like to imagine her saying ‘You’ll be glad you’re at sea, because the engaging excursions and cultural enrichment are actually so bloody boring, you’ll want to drown yourself’.

Sportsnight · 14/12/2021 13:29

I just knew everyone would be saying Daisy Daisy Daisy because it is SO AWFUL.

User2638483 · 14/12/2021 13:31

@Spidey66

Daisy, Daisy, Daisy fucking Daisy.

Or any ad with Rylan Clark in.

Totally agree with this

And all the weird perfume ones in general

Stellaris22 · 14/12/2021 13:35

All the perfume ads, particularly Adam Driver with the weird horse. I thought he was better than that rubbish.

I hate the car adverts where it's 'click and it's yours', who on earth buys a car like that? It's a car, not a dress!

The creepy animated pig in moon pig.

Spidey66 · 14/12/2021 13:37

@madisonbridges
I feel like chucking the telly out the window every time I see his smug face, but I wouldn't be able to watch Eastenders then. Hate him with a passion.

maslinpan · 14/12/2021 13:37

There's one for the Halifax which gives 13yo DS the rage every time. It ends with two boys kicking their football along the pavement, it lands at the feet of a Halifax employee who smiles and kicks it back. He is in his blue suit and smart shoes and somebody dressed like that would NEVER kick a ball back apparently. It really winds DS up, it's hilarious.

luckylavender · 14/12/2021 13:43

All the Verisure ones. And that one with the football is bad @maslinpan

I hate that one too. The previous ad for that perfume was worse as the (same) woman in it seemed so aggressive and up herself.

The thing that annoys me about that one is that the camera pans up to his face as though there’s going to be a big reveal. The first time I saw it I was expecting a famous footballer and an ‘OMG’ look from the teenagers. It must have been a bit of a disappointment for them to realise it was Toby, Non-Secured Loans Manager.

Fashion. Fashion. Lights. Lights.

movpov · 14/12/2021 13:45

The funeral plan/life insurance ones
Anything loud and shouty
Verisure alarms especially the guy standing smugly grinning while his wife talks to the other couple
Pretty much everything really

Either record everything so I can fast forward the ads, or tv goes on mute the second the ads come on.

Lincslady53 · 14/12/2021 13:45

Don't mind Daisy Daisy but cannot stand Pefect Perfect Perfect, I have no ides what either is advertising. We have a 98 year old living with us who has mobility problems, so spends most of the day in front of the tv. I know they are well targeted but the bloody funeral adverts. Or the dry fanny adverts are the worst.

Edinvillian · 14/12/2021 13:47

@Spidey66

Daisy, Daisy, Daisy fucking Daisy.

Or any ad with Rylan Clark in.

Yes! I despise it! They've another advert "perfect, perfect, perfect' and that gives me the rage too.
Sunbird24 · 14/12/2021 13:49

All the bloody stupid people going “Ooooooooooooo…” just because somebody now takes card. I change channel every time.

vampirethriller · 14/12/2021 13:50

Those fucking "oooooooooo" ones with chip and PIN or whatever it's about, I have to mute it.
