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

Fortunately I seem to have missed the Daisy advert but the Chanel no5 one absolutely infuriates me, as does the Perfect advert. But the British Gas one with that noise (it can't be music) really, really upsets me. It's on the sodding radio too, there's no escaping it.

AuntieStella · 14/12/2021 14:33

The whoop one for whichever chocolates it is.

VickyEadieofThigh · 14/12/2021 14:34

@Sparklesocks

The Chanel no 5 ‘we’re on each other’s teeeeeam’ 🎶 one with Marion Cotillard. Grates on me and seems to be everywhere.
That one for me, too. It's on every single ad break that I see and it's getting on my pip something awful.

Marc Jacobs daisy and perfect advert
Dominoes yodelling advert hate it gives me rage
Super noddles where they just scream it’s my most hated advert and I have to turn it down or over.
Anything with Phillip Schofield In it.

Audacity7 · 14/12/2021 14:36

TopCashback - 'The Hmmm-ingbird'
Gives me the rage !!!

Barton10 · 14/12/2021 14:37

The perfume one with the awful crybaby song and anything with Phillip Schofield in it

AndARiverBeneathYourFeet · 14/12/2021 14:42

I really love perfume adverts, I find them so surreal/hilarious The MJ ones are genius as it's all anyone can remember Grin

DrManhattan · 14/12/2021 14:44

That dumb card payment one, where all those people go 'oooooooooooh'
Just why. So annoying !

AndARiverBeneathYourFeet · 14/12/2021 14:44

I HATE the Halifax one, with the guy saying goodbye to his soon-to-be-pts pet dog. It's unnecessary to put that bit in!!

It did for a while have a segment where a girl was implied to either not be pregnant after trying multiple times, or an mc, but it's gone now. I imagine someone (unsurprisingly) complained. Banking adverts aren't appropriate for something that can upset viewers without warning.

starrynight87 · 14/12/2021 14:49

I hate the one with the girl singer using her dad's old music to make a new track, on every 5 mins for months now.

WomanStanleyWoman · 14/12/2021 14:52

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.

The same goes for the Plantur 39 shampoo woman whispering about being ‘over 40’. She looks like she should have a ration book!

Vax bloody carpet washer AngryAngryAngryAngry

CatBumJuice · 14/12/2021 14:57

Anything with a horse in it, or a slow acoustic version of a lively pop song.

FlorrieLindley · 14/12/2021 14:58

"It's June, dad!"

"Daisy" and "Perfect"

"Even when we're carving turkeys with lasers ..."

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 14/12/2021 14:59

That one with Natalie Portman in various poses. Yes, we know you're pretty.

LampLighter414 · 14/12/2021 14:59

The memories of the asda man last year still haunt me.

But yeah cinch with Rylan in isn't great. Also not keen on schofields we buy any car stuff

EvilPea · 14/12/2021 14:59

McDonald’s advert, just depressing and a rip off of the disney film.

Yes. The Daisy Daisy Daisy one. Shut the fuck up. The perfumes shit and doesn’t smell like any Daisy I’ve ever smelt.

Mochudubh · 14/12/2021 15:02

@WomanStanleyWoman

"I can’t stand the Viking River Cruises ad, where that woman with the weird sing-song voice".

Is that the one who sounds like she's being fiddled with as she's trying to record the voiceover?

Popkids · 14/12/2021 15:02

@maslinpan

There's one for the Halifax which gives 13yo DS the rage every time. It ends with two boys kicking their football along the pavement, it lands at the feet of a Halifax employee who smiles and kicks it back. He is in his blue suit and smart shoes and somebody dressed like that would NEVER kick a ball back apparently. It really winds DS up, it's hilarious.
Oh goodness this. DC hate this ad especially the guy's creepy inane grin.
DazedandConcerned · 14/12/2021 15:07

Daisy Daisy Daisy - go back to the fucking Manson family ffs

Perfect Perfect Perfect - makes me want to throw the telly out the window

Verisure - smug assholes

What would you do for love? - what the fuck does it have to do with the imagery?

Perfume ads give me the absolute rage.

Artichokeleaves · 14/12/2021 15:07

Oh yes. All of this.

Daisydaisydaisybloodydaisy
Perfectperfectperfectperyeswegetthebloodymessageperfect
oooooooooooooooooooooooo

All get an instant hit of the pause button and all the rest of the ads get fast forwarded through.

And then there's the elderly aimed ones that go "oh I'd love to go on a nine mile hike but oooohh my leg is playing up and any bloke off the street could act better and sound less false than I'm managing to, and the script writer is apparently five. So no."

Mochudubh · 14/12/2021 15:08

The alarm advert (might be verisure) when the engineer turns up to fit the alarms.

Is it just me that detects a slight "frisson" between the engineer and the man of the house?

TheSilveryTinsellyPussycat · 14/12/2021 15:11

I always record programmes and start watching on playback after 10 min so I usually only see adverts at 6x.

I quite miss being annoyed though, so will actively watch the adverts, at least for a bit, because of this thread Grin

RainbowZebraWarrior · 14/12/2021 15:11

Juat had this conversation with my mother yesterday.

Daisy Daisy Daisy I could just about cope with.

But Perfect, PerfeCT, PERfect, PERFECT... sends me into a sensory meltdown!

Marc Jacobs, sack your Ad team, FFS!!

Nirnroot · 14/12/2021 15:11

Another one for the stupid yodelling Domino's advert. I mute as soon as I hear it. I fear there is a new contender for most annoying though and that's that stupid celebrations (chocolates) advert with them all shouting woop or something. It's stupid and annoying.

Oh and for any Scottish people do you even need me to mention the bloody bank advert with Susan Calman? Gives me the rage that one, no I'm not helpful or lovely because I'm scottish, I'm a bitch thanks very much!
