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.

I haven't seen it this year, but there's a Thornton's one where a young woman's boyfriend is arriving to meet her parents for the first time. He turns up in full pilot's uniform with a box of Thornies and they all stand around gazing adoringly at him and the chocolates.

Having now watched both of the adverts I'm not entirely unconvinced that Marc Jacobs is infact a cult.

There’s something off about the Mr Kipling ad. The joyless party, the weird expressions that the kids pull, the sad half-smile at the end, the fact the older sister wasn’t invited to a family party. Plus the filming is really gloomy like a British movie about gangs on an estate or something.

Is something dark going on in that house?

As we are in gcse revision time in our house I assumed she was invited but as just studying. Whilst it may be a party or retirement do it does have the feeling of a wake though.

Nearly all ads annoy me especially McDonald's I cannot stand them and all that they stand for they should be shut down considering human and animal shit was found in various random restaurants around the world and people still eat their foul junk food disgusting,and charity ads begging for specific amounts of money should be banned because begging is illegal,I could go on about loads of of other ads that annoy me but there is far to many that I despise with a passion, and why the hell should we pay to get rid of them, it's just proof that ad culture is driven by greed, and one last thing why do people pay to watch sky TV when most of their channels run ads and repeats,I mean itv a channel four et cetra run ads and they're free so why pay for sky,greedy bastard's.

I stopped watching YouTube because of all the fucking ads and the fact that you have to pay to get rid of them, well there is no chance of that,it was cheaper and easier to delete the app from my devices and their loss of another viewer who hates ads and greed.

My top 3 adverts that give me THE.RAGE

That screaming perfume ad with that smug woman saying, wake up at the beginning followed by a million dollar dream sequence then and asking, 'and you, what would you do for love ? at the end.

An advert for nappies with the dumb looking Dad and a cheeky smiling baby having a 'poonami'. Shot in slow motion for extra rage inducing close ups of Dad's face.

Can't remember the last one but my runner up was the Dominoes advert where they sing Domino oh oh oh to each other across the tower blocks.

Oh and stomach churning rather than irritating is the current KFC advert with gravy being poured over fried chicken. It just looks gross.

I don't mind KFC. In fact KFC gravy is quite nice IIRC. Not together for me thanks.

That bloody celebrations one where the family just shout ‘booop’ ‘meep’ or whatever. Grrrrr

Voices do it for me, for better or worse. I'm very (over-) sensitive to voices and if I don't like them, I can't bear to hear them. I lo Simon Farnaby's on the Tesco Christmas Party ad where the teenage boy says that 'No, actually...Love Actually isn't the best Christmas film'.

But I can't stand Jill Halfpenny (think it's her) advertising the AA - it's the bit where she over-emphises 'Be with THE BEST!'. Also, the guide dog charity ads that threaten to send you 'regular PUPDATES' (aaarrgghh).

I'm amused by the Christmas ads where huge extended families sit around a table the size of a tennis court with every possible type of food on it all at once: full Christmas roast, buffet foods, puddings of all kinds and cheese boards. Hilariously ridiculous!

Oh and - not Christmassy, but those ads for holidays and especially cruises where an elegant young couple stroll alone down a staircase on their ship (or have a whole luxury swimming pool or a beach to themselves). I don't know why someone doesn't sue these companies for misrepresentation. If it was really like that, I'd book one of these holiday...but we all know it's really going to be packed out like a sardine tin with not quite such elegant folk...

I thought Jill Halfpenny did Argos, not the AA.

Daisy Daisy.... etc.

Also Miley Cyrus smug-grinning her fucking face at the end of an ad so faux-naive pretty flowers sunny days ladies all smell pretty perfume ad, I want to smack her in the face.

Theres one with people singing badly, different person for each line or is it the same line over and over but either way its awful and the singers get worse as it goes on. I dont know what its for, as I turn it off each time!

The Johnny Depp Sauvage one makes me laugh I say 'sausaaaaaaaage' each time i see it.

All of them. Absolutely every single one of the bastard things. Especially bloody Daisy.

All unimaginative, all badly written, all badly axted, all badly voiced. Ghastly.

There’s an online ad for Hello Fresh featuring a maniacally grinning woman which I find really annoying.

The one for a laundry product where she’s singing about the room smelling like an armpit gives me the absolute rage every time.
Also the ice cream one ( Magnum) where it makes that awful noise when he bites into it

All of them!! I try and avoid them. I hate feeling manipulated.

I came on to moan about the awful charity ones that go all guilt trippy on you, but I see I already posted that almost exactly a year ago a few posts back, haha.

I currently really hate the one about talking with a dad with an awful voice talking to his daughter with an awful voice about the dreaded school, with subtitles. I know it's making a good point, but argh their voices are awful. (Not the accents, I have no problem with Scottish accents, it's the horrid whiny voices that grate).

Any smyths toys ones

None as I don’t watch TV live. I either watch Amazon video or recordings on TiVo box where I always FF adverts. As for radio adverts I tend to mentally ‘tune out’ until they’ve finished. Except for the Tesco Christmas advert where I picture the narrator without any trousers on.

Screaming voice on that horrible years old advert when she says ‘ wake up’ etc for a jar of scent, that’s my real nauseating one, mind you the other perfume ones need a damn good makeover

The one (and i can't even remember what it's for) 2 people playing All The Small Things on the piano. Just annoying.

But my number one rage inducing ad "We really wanna go to - Smyths toy superstore!!" Just the song itself, so bad. Plus whatever accent the guy singing it is putting on, it's just shit and the whole thing sets my teeth on edge. Toys R Us it ain't!

Ones I do like, Irn Bru tend to come out with good stuff from made from girders to those happy goths going to Blackpool. I also loved the Freeview cat and budgie. One of my favourites though was for oxo, when the mum stages a rock gig in the backyard to make dinner more exciting. Just the opening vocals: "SHEPHERDS PIIIIIEEEE!!"

I don't get this years McDonald's Christmas advert, the boy writes his letter to Santa but most of it flies away - leaving him with just a picture of a house with his family.

Initially I thought his parents were separated and his wish was to have them back together? Or is it just that he doesn't want anything but a happy family life?

It's very twee whatever it is!

"Hi Val, I'm just back from a funeral, yes it was sad but guess what, thanks to their 12p per day fun funeral plan they did the whole thing for £3.76, you should sign up (as I hate you with a burning passion and don't want your spare fecking carrots) wasn't that fabulous Val, now feck off so my family can dance on your grave. They love a party, my lot know how to party (my demise will be an epic celebration) all for 12p per day Val. Goodbye and good death, Val."

Those funeral ads!!!

Haha, yes they are awful 😂.

Is he RAF pilot or airline pilot? If the latter I’d be mighty miffed that he couldn’t get something better than Thornton’s from the duty free shop.

Reminds me of the Le Piat D’Or (plonk) wine) ad years ago when an English guy meets his French girlfriend’s parents for the first time. At first the father is cold and aloof but as soon as he gives them a bottle of Le Piat d’Or he is delighted and welcomes him into the bosom of the family. Slogan “Les Francais adorent Le Piat D’Or”. Er no they don’t, they’ve never heard of it and if they had they wouldn’t drink it.

Love the funeral ads where the ladies are talking about their friend’s funeral and how beautiful it was in a jealous tone. Ooh I could never afford a posh funeral like that! Well now you can thanks to the Over 25s Funeral Plan. Sign up or your family will bung you in a hole with no flowers.

The Christmas gunwharf keys one with the cringeworthy attempt at humour with the old folk. Awful !!

The Christmas Pepsi max one ' I came to sleigh' 'no ho ho ho' etc so irritating.
