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

There used to be a tena advert with women bouncing on mini trampolines singing about how they just had an oops moment (and weed themselves). Genuinely horrendous.

The Adam Driver one creeps me out because it's like he's mated with the horse and become a centaur. Freaky.

Sneezein3s · 15/12/2021 21:17

I hate the Ring doorbell ads they make my dogs go bonkers!

Also hate hate Daisy Daisy …

And the aftershave one with the man with the naked torso and the arrow that smashes the bottle?! Don’t know if that man is famous and don’t know what the ad is for 😂😂😂

Bloody Beaverbrooks constantly interrupting my Ben Fogle fest on 5. ‘The first of many nights in front of the tele’?’ Call me Mrs picky but that’s a depressing vision.

Reader, i didn’t marry him after that proposal :)

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

Jake Gyllenhal is in an aftershave advert (fannying about on a boat in a storm for some reason) even though he recently said he doesn’t shower Envy

BibiBlocksberg · 15/12/2021 22:31

The mention of Mr Depp just reminded me of another MN poster who dubs a replacement in as ‘Sausage’ (sorry, can’t figure out how to do french style accent on that)

It’s all i hear & say out loud now when the ad comes on.

Intended suaveness totally ruined :) :)

Are any as bad as the Peloton advert with the gift from the controlling boyfriend from a couple of year ago?

MabelsApron · 15/12/2021 23:17

No, but the gin company that hired the same actress to do an advert where she went out with her girlfriends for therapeutic cocktails having escaped the horrible boyfriend? That was genius.
Stuckhere2021 · 15/12/2021 23:21

Anything with Philip schofield and his smug, arrogant face.
Jonny Depp Savage/Sausage (Grin).
Dominos yodelling
Radio ads where they quickly whisper all the Ts & Cs which show the offer is not as good as it sounds.
Whispering woman on secret escapes (not sure that is the right name)
Ads where people are talking whilst eating - just no
Daisy daisy daisy

Stuckhere2021 · 15/12/2021 23:23

Sauvage not savage - or may Savage is more fitting?

ClareBlue · 16/12/2021 02:25

There are some bad ones but....
If you are not in Ireland and have not seen the SuperValu raindeer add then you have missed something beautiful.

Google it and all other bad adds will be a distant memory ❤️

TheWeeDonkey · 16/12/2021 08:41

I've not seen the centaur one but why would
you want to smell like a horse? Confused

I've just seen the Verisure advert. Is it meant to be funny? It reminds me of that sketch on the Fast Show with Caroline Aherne when she was the overbearing wife who's husband never spoke. Does anyone remember that? 😂

@ClareBlue
Over on Craicnet the SuperValu add is praised.
It's so lovely. 💕

TheWeeDonkey · 16/12/2021 09:42

Thats the one @DismantledKing Grin

Just seen the screaming advert, its for Celebrations and they're wearing dressing gowns not shell suits and I hate it.

MrsToothyBitch · 16/12/2021 10:14

Daisy daisy daisy and Perfect perfect perfect from Marc Jacobs Jacobs Jacobs. Both annoying anyway but the irony of using the daughter of a supermodel to narrate/introduce and end the Perfect ad sits badly with me somehow. Also the lights and styling in that ad makes them all look like they need a shower.

I hate the Vogue Williams one- wafting about in white, too. Obviously it's a set up but it's so bloody fake.

BendicksBittermints4Breakfast · 16/12/2021 10:17

@Mrsjayy

Katherine Ryan is now advertising Wowcher she isn't any better than the "Wowcher girls"
That's the one whose name I can remember, my brain blocks her screechy voice, I make sure the remote's handy for muting.

Oh, just on, the Trinny advert, 'Have you been wearing the same..........' trying to flog some 'new' make up. For some reason I can't stand her, I did hope she'd disappeared into the ether along with the other one she did a programme with.

Mrsjayy · 16/12/2021 11:01

Vogue Williams using her children to advertise fairy gives me the rage !

Needdoughnuts · 16/12/2021 12:39

I love Daisy Daisy Daisy! We adopted our rescue dog Daisy last November and when this came on her ears used to prick up a little (they don't now) It was lovely to see a response as she'd been horribly abused. She's a happy dog now but the ad still reminds us of the early days.

Mrsjayy · 16/12/2021 13:06

Aww. Daisy dog ❤️

Mochudubh · 16/12/2021 13:53

Slightly at a tangent but I don't see the attraction of Adam Driver. To me he looks like a spotty 5th Year.

UmmAyisha · 16/12/2021 14:10

The coors one, I really don't want to see some practically naked man flailing in the snow cus he's pissed

BambooWhoosh · 16/12/2021 14:23

Febreze bathroom

"Did you know that every single flush flings odors onto your soft surfaces?"

Well put the lid down then !!

ferneytorro · 16/12/2021 14:39

The hyena one. I don’t actually know what it advertises but at the end when the man takes the last bit of popcorn and the hyena snarls, man goes ashen faced then the hyena laughs. It’s like some awful dv relationship.

And all the perfume ones, it’s a good lesson in marketing for my nearly twelve year old as we’ve talked about the inference that wearing the scent makes you beautiful/slender/young/handsome/muscly. Don’t mind the Chanel one as it’s recycled as sure it was on last year.
