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

The tampax advert.

“You got to get em up their girls!!”

Makes me cringe it’s just awful.

NotAshamedToFancyTheGrinch · 14/12/2021 13:55

All of them.

I had to endure Daisy Daisy Daisy on a continuous loop for half an hour while queuing for my booster on Saturday in my local shopping centre (occasionally interrupted by Clifford the big red dog for 15 seconds of relief).

The dominoes yodelling about the place

Adam Driver turns into a centaur at the end of that advert doesn’t he? Grin You see the outline of him at the very end of advert. Weird.

Sometimes I wake up from sleep and my brain is screaming daisy daisy daisy! What a creepy advert. It haunts my dreams.

Toothpaste adverts are universally awful. “Where do dentists go at the end of the day to clean their own teeth?” Big reveal answer, “....they go to their homes and use toothpaste!”

The McDonald’s Christmas advert. I feel so sorry for the little monster she shoved in the cupboard. If I were the monster, I wouldn’t be giving her the time of day!

Oh is that supposed to be him WOW !

All the fragrance ones, including Burberry's Adam Driver? swimming with a horse.

M and S Christmas adverts - both.

Verisure with its social norming. The self-installed security system one too.

Halifax.

Struggling to think of an adequate advert.

Sunlife and the neighbours.

Direct cremation mother/father and daughter.

Zilla1 · 14/12/2021 14:11

The final two were not suggestions for adequate adverts.

thereisonlyoneofme · 14/12/2021 14:12

Dont know who Adam Driver is but he looks emaciated in that ad

That always makes me feel really sad 😢

There’s a really naff afternoon advert on for British Seniors where a granny playing hide and seek phones them up for an insurance quote whilst hiding. As you do.

The premise is annoying enough but when she’s asked her age, she says ‘I’m 50’. She’s 70 if she’s a day and it REALLY irritates me.

eddiemairswife · 14/12/2021 14:17

Joanna Lumley and the Antarctic. Go there and stay there!

DoncasterHombre · 14/12/2021 14:18

Can I add a radio ad in please?

Sage - accounting software. Starts and ends with some absolute pig slurping on a cup of tea and contains all the references to things being "boshed" and "smashed" in the course of actually just doing your day-to-day tasks as a self-employed person.

It also ends with a very annoying "bring on the biscuits" . . . . and it makes me want to smash up the laptop, throw things out of the window, summon every demon from hell and go on a rampage with them that finally ends this planet and all life on it.

DizzySquirrel90 · 14/12/2021 14:19

Marc Jacobs - Daisy

FrenchyQ · 14/12/2021 14:21

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

portandchocolate · 14/12/2021 14:22

I would not buy Daisy if it was the nicest perfume on earth cos I'd always be reminded of the advert

Rosebel · 14/12/2021 14:25

My husband mutes every advert so don't know if they are annoying or not. My DD2 gets insane rage over the child on Symth advert. "if I were a toy" just drives her mad.

Tunnocksmallow · 14/12/2021 14:25

That bloody annoyingly repetitive Lidl Christmas one. I wanna kick the tv when it’s on.

NigellaSeed · 14/12/2021 14:26

Well channel 4 put a QAnon halfway though the Snowman. Which is what, 12 mins long? Merry bloomin Christmas

Yes! I can't believe they have her say she's 50. Ridiculous.

Flowertailbird · 14/12/2021 14:28

Lidl - soooooo long and soooo dull

Hyperion100 · 14/12/2021 14:30

Dominoooohoohooooooos!

Just awful.

MamaWeasel · 14/12/2021 14:32

I came on to say Daisy Daisy Daisy, and oooOOOOOoooooo when they can pay by card.

I have found my people, it seems! Xmas Grin
