What tv advert is annoying you at the moment?

[TemptedToSleepInTheShed]

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

All of them. I record everything and fast forward

@FrenchyQ

The ring doorbell one ..sets my dogs off everytime. The funeral plan one with Debbie McGee.

But at least she's not magicking up a refurbished kitchen, trading on her late husband's name!

@LonglegsMumtheBlacksmith

Anything that says "up to 100%" So it won't clear up 110% of my dandruff or absorb 150% of my menstrual flow? In fact, it only promises to pick a number between 1-100?

Off at a slight tangent but in shops, sales notices saying prices at 'up to 50%' when in fact that mean up to 50% off, the prices are 50% to 100%. I once asked why something was on a rail advertising 'up to 50%' but was in fact 80%, it was like trying to plait fog.

The hmmmmm advert for some cash back site. I hate people hmmming and find it intensely irritating for some reason. It’s why I don’t use Siri. But here’s a whole advert of hmmm hmm HMMMM. And there’s a fucking radio version of this shit. I feel personally attacked.

Whenever I’m signed out of mumsnet, I constantly get that ad with the older ladies dancing in their underwear and incontinence knickers. It’s only mildly irritating but the music is awful. It reminds me of the muppets for some reason and I’ve heard it a million times now. Still don’t want to buy those pants, sorry.

The hmmmmm hmmmm hmmmmmmmm one makes me twitch with rage

"We could pay off the mortgage with that" - um, yes, but you will of course be dead),

I had a good laugh at that too.
There's a Fairy liquid advert where all the kitchenware and her jumper match the product's colour scheme. She's also waltzing around in a white, flowing skirt chucking a Fairy pod into an empty washing machine as she holds a baby dressed in all white. I had a fairly easy life when my children were babies but even I wouldn't have done that!

I know the one you mean, Venus something or other married to Spencer something or other (reality TV and very tenuously linked to the roayal family ---- his brother marrfied to Pippa I believe), who is also in an after-shave ad, flexing his muscles (also some drink ad, WITH his wife this time). The set is SO Instagram...... The deliberate placing of the kid's paint makes me laugh too.

Embarrassed that I know all this.

Anothr new one, "Progressing myself" (the Open University).
Huh?

Arf at Venus! You mean Vogue with the Irish brogue!

As an aside, my husband met her once at a do. He calls her Bloke Bird. 🤷‍♀️

Not an ad, a sponsorship bit. Beaverbrooks (the jewellers) are sponsoring 'Christmas nights on Channel 5'. So before each programme, and after each ad break, there's a picture of some jewellery and a caption to suggest why it's being given as a present.

There's one with a pair of earrings and a matching pendant, and the caption is 'Sorry for talking over the best bits of your favourite programme all year'. Just bloody male entitlement. Be an arse all year and think some sparkly things will make her go all giggly and say that's OK. I had a growl about it to DP and he's bright enough to have replied that he wouldn't dare, let alone expect jewellery to make up for it.

Irritating is too mild for that one. It genuinely gives me the rage.

The toothbrush one. "We tried to change brushing, we ended up changing ..... everything". What does that even mean?

Also anything with Coldplay in the background.

That one where lots of people all say they're perfect. They aren't. Some cream or perfume? Self sabotaging because it means I'm so cross I don't watch the advert.

Oops yes! Vogue...... I sort of thought the surname was Williams, but then thought - nah, it's not Venus Williams, I know that much.....

And she speaks a bit like a Thunderbird puppet, just the lower jaw going up and down.

The 'Very' advert because of the teeth-clenchingly awful wrong emphasis on the words in the song.

...'It's the EXcuse of the year...

It makes me want to rip my ears off.

I find the humming bird in the top cashback ad really creepy !!

The revitalit one with Ruth and Eamonn are they that desperate for cash ?!

The Christmas boots one 'this is what love smells like' from Julia from motherlands annoying mother in law !

@dropitlikeitsloth yes the erasure ad is very annoying !

@ToffeeNotCoffee

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'

Dd1 always says if an advert has three things in it that aren't connected it's definitely a perfume (or aftershave) advert!

@UmmAyisha

The dominoes yodelling about the place

This makes my teeth itch

Oh sponsorship - sometimes so badly judged as well. I don't usually watch Long Lost Family in any iteration - but somehow happened to get caught up in a UK epdisode the other day. A portion of it ended with a long lost daughter sobbing, and BLAAAHHH! A bloody gambling sponsor. So ill-timed and tacky.

Ugh - just writing this and Adam Driver is running across the sand.... again, Hero? More like Weirdo.

Anything with Eamonn and Ruth in. So wooden 🙈😬

The previous open university advert that was like, “Ambition. It wants to change your world.”

No it doesn’t, it’s not a person.

Any advert featuring teaching that makes it look like a lovely jolly time where the kids all laugh merrily or gaze at the teacher comprehendingly rather than mucking about and distracting everyone.

That awful Jet2 ad that has the Jess Glynne Hold My Hand on it.

I hate adverts! The only one I’ve liked in years is the one with the dancing sloth on the bed. And even then I don’t know what it was for!

Not the point of this thread at all but this is one of the best ads ever. Still luffs it.

See Johnny Depp always looks to me like someone who's quite smelly in real life, I don't know why he just seems a bit grubby so an odd choice for a perfume ad. All of the perfume ads are annoying though.

I saw one earlier with people in pink shell suits screeching at each other. I don't know what it was for it made me immediately change the channel. Great advert👍

The fucking Oral B woman, and all the pissing pants adverts, anything with Ant and Dec or Phillip bloody Schofield.

Oh and the new M&S advert with Percy Pig and Dawn French being annoying af. Burger spring rolls and cheesy beans on toast are they taking the piss?

This is why I prefer Netflix.

@MabelsApron - completely agree about the teacher recruitment ads. I'm a teacher and overall I do enjoy the job - however, it's blinking tough! The ads are ridiculous - proper cringe... the featured "teachers" are always loving life. I guess it's telling that there need to be ads to recruit teachers in the first place!
