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

Every time that bloody Daisy or Perfect advert comes on it reminds me that no way on earth will I ever buy any Marc Jacobs perfume.

@Mochudubh

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?

Oh yes. That ones annoying. The one before where the couple have the conversation on the phone about next door being burgled.

I’ve driven my family mad with my “they aren’t a couple, there’s no way they are together” comments. No idea why it irritates me. But it does

Daisy daisy daisy daisy!!!

😡

trappedsincesundaymorn · 14/12/2021 15:16

The "daisy, daisy, daisy" ad
The "Perfect perfect perfect" ad
the "oooooooooooooo" ad
the yodelling Dominoes ad
the quality street "whoop whoop" ad
Actually every single ad is as annoying as fuck. I can't think of a single one that isn't.

whoamitojudge · 14/12/2021 15:16

As previously mentioned, the one with the lady playing hide and seek while sorting out life insurance (as you do)
As if she’s 50!!!! Makes me cross 😂

Ohhelpmetoo · 14/12/2021 15:18

The one with the women and her husband shopping for a mobility scooter (and a bath lift , bed and chair) She creeps along like a snail on the scooter as if it might run amok at any minute . The assistant then demonstrates the bath lift . I don’t know what she is saying but she demonstrates that it goes up and down with her hand . Who would have guessed they do that !

At the end of the lockdown there was an advert for a holiday ... a villa I think . A family walked into the sitting room and start jumping about having a pillow fight. I don’t know why they have to destroy the soft furnishings.

Daisy , daisy of course . God , I hate it!

And that one for leg pillows that shows people in bed with no covers including a couple who both place their leg pillows between their knees . The romance !

The Dove one before certain programs about hair colour, scars, names etc.

blacksax · 14/12/2021 15:20

That caffeine shampoo ad: "Because it WORKS for me".
In what way, dear? Oh yeah, I remember, they're not allowed to say, are they?

Daisy daisy simper daisy gives me the cringe, and that god-awful Perfect, perfect, perfect.
In what way dear? Because you've made yourself look like a freak, if you don't mind me saying.

Burglar alarms, funeral plans, weird baths, ejector-seat armchairs, equity release - they can all get knotted as well.

As for the man/horse combo - has he realised that his back half is a mare yet? Grin

Emma Mattress
Simba Mattress
Anything with Pillock Schofield
Christmas Ads with so much food on the table make me sick
All Perfume ads apart from Dolce & Gabbana K for obvious reasons
The Sunlife one with the fake accents

@AndARiverBeneathYourFeet

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.

Was coming on to say Daisy Daisy Daisy but then remembered this one. Absolutely this is the worst. We'll be losing our beautiful little DCat soon to cancer and this bit of the advert feels like a stab in the heart every time because it just reminds me of what is to come. I'm tearing up now thinking about it. Why do they think that this will make me want to use Halifax?
GrumpyLivesInMyHouseNow · 14/12/2021 15:33

Any aftershave or perfume advert, they seem to get even more ridiculous each year. Bloody Jonny Depp and his fucking Sausage Grin

GiveYourHeadAWobble · 14/12/2021 15:36

Daisy. The most annoying thing I’ve ever heard.

1forAll74 · 14/12/2021 15:37

All the stupid and lavish and long winded celebrity ones, just for bottles of perfume.

NotAshamedToFancyTheGrinch · 14/12/2021 15:39

@Nirnroot

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!

Susan: we’re kind, we’re helpful Me: Hmm speak for yourself
WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 14/12/2021 15:40

If it helps at all, whenever they have that sultry female voice singing 'Flashing lights' in the Dior ad, I get a mental image of Richard Richard from Bottom trying (very unsuccessfully) to chat up a woman, replacing the words with a leering 'Smashing blouse' Grin

Yes, like everybody else, to the Daisy Daisy abomination. Are the women meant to be laughing with joy at gambolling carefree in the countryside or with mortified embarrassment at what they're currently having to do for money?

FrankGrillosWrist · 14/12/2021 15:41

I never watched them when I had a licence, & there’s no risk of accidentally walking back in to the room & catching one on Netflix.

LondonJax · 14/12/2021 15:42

Daisy
Perfect
and most of the Christmas ads this year. Bring back the John Lewis one with the little boy proudly getting his badly wrapped Christmas present to his parents out of the cupboard. Not a granny on a moped, some alien child hiding in the woods or a bloke cutting a turkey with a laser in 2700 or whatever it is. I want awww factor at Christmas not bleugh!

PferdeMerde · 14/12/2021 15:46

@AndARiverBeneathYourFeet

I really love perfume adverts, I find them so surreal/hilarious The MJ ones are genius as it's all anyone can remember Grin
I mostly like perfume adverts too. They’re like the dreams I have when I’ve taken strong painkillers/have a fever. It’s even funnier because the designers think they’re all serious/high art/high concept and they’re just so stupidly hilarious. Daisy daisy daisy and Miss Dior can still fuck right off though.
Lsquiggles · 14/12/2021 15:46

The dominoes advert with the men yodelling, makes my blood boil! Worst one is definitely the ooooooooooo one Angry

Mummylovesmonkeys · 14/12/2021 15:49

@Sunbird24

All the bloody stupid people going “Ooooooooooooo…” just because somebody now takes card. I change channel every time.
This. Goes right through me. There seem to be loads with people making stupid noises. Just stop it already!!
22Giraffes · 14/12/2021 15:49

I Don't know what it's for, but the woman riding a bike along the seafront and she stops at an Ice Cream van, it's a picture perfect cone with perfectly placed sprinkles and a cherry on the the top and she takes 1 tiny lick and rides off! Idk but it infuriates me so much Angry

Perfect daisy can get to fuck too!

BlooBagoo · 14/12/2021 15:51

DH has been banned from ever buying the Daisy perfume for me because of the ad.

Dominos and the oooooooo one as well.

I used to always just download shows on Sky to watch instead of recording them so I wouldn't get the ads and now they've put ads into the downloads too. Angry I used to love reading these threads and not have a clue what most of them were.

Holothane · 14/12/2021 15:51

All 0f them especially anything with queen songs in I call them the money grabbers they’ll do anything for money.

Chely · 14/12/2021 15:53

All of them, they're only good for a pee break

DoofusRick · 14/12/2021 15:54

It’s got brainwashed-by-a-cult vibes, giggling knowing their gambolling times are a coming to an end. I bet there’s a different edit of the ad where they’re “drinking the koolaid”
