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

Hello my people! I have to turn the volume off or leave the room whenever I hear Daisy Daisy Daisy
I thought Daisy, Daisy was bad enough, then they came up with Perfect! I loathe all the Wowcher adverts.
Phantom1 · 16/12/2021 14:52

Tesco - Don't Stop Me Now because it's on ALL the time. Grrrrr.

winnieanddaisy · 16/12/2021 14:53

I hate the Dominoes one with the yodelling . I feel acutely embarrassed for the perpetrators every time it's on . You couldn't pay me enough to take part in it , and it certainly wouldn't entice me to buy pizza .

Ludo19 · 16/12/2021 15:51

Dominoes and all the perfume and aftershave ads......utter pish!

LittleRoundRobin · 16/12/2021 19:13

@ClareBlue

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 ❤️

Awwwwwwwwwwwww.. Smile Thanks for sharing that with us!

The Velvetiser one.

‘What’s a velvetiser?’
‘It velvetises’
‘Aaaaaaaaah’

😠

I know right. This is ALMOST as annoying as HY-A-LU-RON-IC ACID!

I haven't got the foggiest idea what it is!

Soooooooo I googled it.

a polysaccharide molecule which is one of the chief components of connective tissue, forming a gelatinous matrix that surrounds cells.

Now I have more questions than answers..... Confused

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!

Whenever the Jet2 ad comes on, it's the law that I have to grab my dh's hand and hold onto it lovingly, whilst he's trying to beat me off and not look like a bloody idiot being led by the hand by a grown up, as in the advert. I've been known to drop my knitting mid row ( total rock and roll life here!) to try and grab him whilst he's hanging over the side of the settee shouting get off! One night we were watching tv in bed, advert came on, I went to grab his hand, he dived sideways and fell out of bed. Oh I laughed!!! Then laughed a bit more.

Well, that explains why they never ever tell you what it smells like before you buy it, then Grin

drigon · 17/12/2021 00:08

I think it may be about gas engineers or insurance or something, but the one with all the cuppas drunk since 2004 (?), complete with extremely irritating tea-making sounds sets my teeth on edge!

TinselTit · 17/12/2021 00:24

There’s one that only ever seems to appear on Sky Sports for erectile dysfunction and just says DONG repeatedly

GrandTheftWalrus · 17/12/2021 00:49

I saw the DONG advert last night then the voice-over bellows ERECTILE DISFUNCTION at you.

@Mrsjayy

Vogue Williams using her children to advertise fairy gives me the rage !
‘Oi make lots of little noises when oim caring for Theodore’. Yeah, I make noises when you come on the television with your stupid face - mainly ‘BLEURRRGGGHHH!!!’ 🤮
CassieJumped · 17/12/2021 10:04

The ads feature cruise holidays (cruise ad last about 4 minutes and is mind numblingly boring,)
Definitely but Dh and I still marvel at how that huge ship slips down that narrow gorge.

CassieJumped · 17/12/2021 10:07

The fairy platinum dishwasher one where there's a cockney geezer baby telling you not to rinse your cooking trays as the dishwasher tablet does the job. Then it says in tiny writing that the item was washed something like 6 times to get it clean. Surely it's just better to pre soak it. On the item and your water and electricity bills!

CassieJumped · 17/12/2021 10:11

We flew with jet2 a few years ago and they play the 'ooh ooh' bit on loop every 15 minutes or so. Or at least it felt like it.

BlueBellsArePretty · 17/12/2021 10:18

The Lenor scent booster advert where the actors are getting ridiculously excited I the outdoor bed, shouting 'what is it?!' and 'its just so good' whilst sniffing the bedsheets.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 17/12/2021 10:19

‘Oi make lots of little noises when oim caring for Theodore’.

I just assume she means she has a persistent personal foul wind problem and Theodore is so apparently calm because he's actually been knocked out into a deep sleep by the dreadful stench Grin

And you...what would you do for love......grrrrr !!!!

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 17/12/2021 10:26

I haven't seen any on for a little while now, but those adverts for (I think) some kind of car supermarket, that are completely silent, are truly annoying.

I presume they want to make you look up at the screen, but I'm guessing that blind and partially-sighted people might find them unnerving and worry that their telly has gone on the blink. It just seems so deliberately and unnecessarily unkind.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 17/12/2021 10:29

Ensure that an adequate life assurance package is in place, with all premiums paid up to date, to account for the fact that your partner has a habit of randomly jumping off high piers Grin

'You're not having this back' 🙄

Not TV but radio: The bleeding Hummingbird one for TCB grates on my teeth, as do the direct line radio ads (the woman’s voice sounds super insincere)

But my top hate is the Indeed radio ads. The one where the employee is pregnant and her boss simply sounds pissed off with her. Nasty cow.

DillonPanthersTexas · 17/12/2021 11:11

Those fucking Top Cash back 'hummingbird' adverts.
