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.

There's also a radio one for heart where a lady says 'the run up to Christmas' in a really odd way!

HATE the christmas pepsi max one - you can just feel that it’s been written by 45 year olds, thinking that’s how the yoof talk.

My nemesis ad is that bloody pampers poonami one - the baby’s close up face as it happily shits itself, just urgh

Also hate all the ones where women are happily telling each other they piss themselves and being recommended tena lady instead of medical attention.

I can't stand the Kinder Milk Slice ad where the rude child snatches it out of her indulgently smiling mother's hand without thanking or even looking at her. Then crams it into her smug face before jumping up to run around the house screaming again.

They are more than subtitles though, aren't they..... The words on the screen are what they are thinking, but not saying?
(Accents aside.)

"Also hate all the ones where women are happily telling each other they piss themselves and being recommended tena lady instead of medical attention."

I'm not suggesting that it should be a taboo or thing we never talk about but I hate how they're talking like it's normal.

Verysure. How many awful adverts do they need?

Verisure.

'Did you know you go noseblind' WELL I DO NOW THE NUMBER OF TIMES YOUR AD IS ON!!

Probably more. I like the Tesco Xmas ad with that little kid dancing at the front.

I know this thread is old but...
The KFC advert where they pour the gravy on the chicken, it makes me barf
The chicken looks like scabs too

Yes I know, but it's their voices I dislike.

The Sun Life ones are all universally terrible - I can't get my head round the woman who is 'just back from a funeral' is wandering round the garden centre in jeans and a brightly coloured coat jolly as anything.

Oh, Pure Cremation. The bloke from one of those appears in the Verisure as well, so naff ads must be an income stream for crap actors.

Oh yes the verisure one where the coffee shop guy says 'Jim Jim ' and the guy says 'oh you mean Tim' Christ it's awful !!

It reminds me of something from the apprentice.

Let alone, the tipping of the obviously empty cup to read the name!

The new Verisure ad with three blokes on a sofa..... So ridiculous.

The shiny faced people on the (I think) Sky ad.

I think that advertising is frying our brains - one moment expected to feel great sadanss at crippled donkeys, dying children, cancer suvivors, abandoned animals, and so on. The next (literal) second, to be craving whatever Very or M&S or Next or Matalan is throwing at us, and the NEXT drooling (or not!) over a Macdonalds, KFC, Thorntons Chocolate, Lindt, Waitrose Finest options, or then maybe planning a trip to Aldi or Lidl.
OR now, looking ahead Christmas 2023 with Park, ffs.
And THENwanting the new car, or cruise, or a flight with "I am what IYAAAAAMMM" Virgin.
I could go on.
I am so happy that my needs are few, and my wants fewer - as most of this goes right over my head in the "Ooh, I'd like that" sense. But I do think that it has a very very negative effect, even at a subconscius level.

Ooh, I missed that we must also want to smell like Natalie Portman, Mylie Cyrus, Charlize Theron, Keira Knightley, Cate Blachette, or men to smell like Chris Hemsworth, Jake Gylenhall, Adam Driver and his horse (I would prefer the horse), or God forbid, Johnny Depp.

(I worked in the advertising industry for a while, and always appreciate the artistry if there is any, but am fully aware of what they are trying to do ; the sheer number and variety is what is so horrifying.)

@trappedsincesundaymorn

et me help you remember... Flash Dog!!

@TemptedToSleepInTheShed

I record pretty much everything I want to watch, so I can FF the adverts

even live sport, I start watching 15/20 Mins later so I can FF through the adverts, then when I catch up, I pause the adverts & FF through them

but always play flash dog adverts.

The charity begging bowl. And yes I am aware that it's cold. But what about the rest of the year?

The bloody funeral/cremation ones where you're constantly reminded about your impending doom. I pause Sky for a few minutes and then fast forward because I can't stand them any longer, they're on constantly.

“My lot know how to party” This irritates me as he skips into the living room with a bottle of fizz
( I think I should get out more 😂😂)

Yeah looks a right rave up doesn't it?

“My lot know how to party” This irritates me as he skips into the living room with a bottle of fizz

Is that the same company with the person saving for a pay-out at death, where they say "My family can use the money to pay for for my funeral - or use it any other way they want to"?

How does that work, then? Not bother with any kind of funeral at all and just take their loved one's body to the tip and heave it into the waste-to-landfill skip, so they can go on the razz with all the cash?!
