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.

The Halifax one really winds me up because it's implied that the employee is off to work yet when he gets to the door of the bank, there's already customers in there and he cheerfully lets one go ahead of him. So he's basically late to work because of wandering glibly along kicking back footballs to his neighbours, and we're all supposed to find this charming.

The one that got on my wick so much back in November - it might've changed now - is the Sky VIP ad with Idris Elba. "You might not know..." I KNOW, you've told me every ad break for an entire week!

The one where you apparently get to meet and greet Will Smith and there's a boxer going Sky VIPEEEEEEE!!

Drove me bananas.

I'm just watching another perfume one, Gucci Guilty. Way too arty farty and annoying with really irritating music. The man reminds me of Charles Manson.

The thing is, no matter what irritates you to the core with ads, they are doing a job,because you remember them, & that’s all they want. My absolute pet hates are the seemingly endless furniture ads, they never seem to be off, SCS has to be the absolute mind numbing one, on & on I often wonder if the stuff is actually sold at full price because no one would ever buy it, as next Wednesday it’s on sale again

That bloody yodelling Dominoes ad!! Aaaagh!!

Every bloody perfume ad! How the fuck can you choose a smell from a frigging advert! Daisy is one, there was another one where the cost of the ad must have run into hundreds of thousands of pounds as there were loads of costumes and reptile make up. Very - because no says 'EX cuse' it's exCUse. There are so many...

Oh, and the Tia Maria ad with the woman and the red paintbrush. I thought it was another “trendy” perfume ad until a bottle of the revolting stuff appeared on the screen.

Agree with the awful yodelling Domino's one plus Natalie Portman behaving like a pyscho but the one I hate is that awful 'Omaze' ' win a beautiful house it could be all yours who tf is that woman, just terrible over dictioning (if that's a word). I have to turn over when it comes on .

In the Verisure advert why is it that only the women speak whilst their idiotic husbands look on grinning. Daisy daisy awful. Or "do you want o come for a walk Eammon, I cant not with my legs".

I don't think it's on anymore, but the one with the woman saying "I didn't even know Colgate made toothpaste" and laughing?! What the fuck did you think Colgate make you dumb bitch?! Plus she has a fridge full of red peppers. Makes my blood boil.

And any perfume advert leads to me shouting "BUT WHAT DOES IT ACTUALLY SMELL LIKE?!"

Sorry, I was more angry about Colgate woman than I had anticipated.

Bloody Marc Jacob’s ‘Perfect, perfect, perfect perfect . . . .’ and ‘Daisy, Daisy, Daisy, Daisy, Daisy . . . . . . . .’

I know right? Does he think he could walk without his legs??

I don’t remember what half these adverts are actually for, just that they’re super annoying

@Holothane

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

I find the Flash adverts where they've changed the lyrics ('clean up the impossible' as an example) really odd.

I also dislike when they use special effects to use the image of a celebrity who is dead to advertise products - Audrey Hepburn and the Galaxy advert for example. I know someone from her estate must have signed it off and must be fine with it but it gives me a bit of the ick about using someone's image like that without knowing if they would have been OK with it or indeed would have wanted to advertise those products.

@DoncasterHombre

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.

😆 I particularly liked your invoking of the demons!

Anything that says "up to 100%" So it won't clear up 110% of my dandruff or absorb 150% of my menstrual flow? In fact, it only promises to pick a number between 1-100?

I don’t think they want us to remember them because we hate them so much that we vow never to buy any product from the company! Are you listening Marc Jacobs? 🤬

He could be working the late shift, or be on flexitime 😳 😂🤣😂

I love the Johnny Depp one where he's playing Wild Thing through an amp stack in the desert and all the wolves join in. It's so ridiculous it makes me laugh every time.

I mostly hate it when you're watching things on catch up and can't skip the ads but they're full of the same ones played over and over again. Even within the same ad break. It makes me quite murderous.

Another vote here for the fucking daisy advert.

There's an advert on stv that gives me the utter rage everytime it comes on - crabbit old man gets hit by a ball and the kids shout grandad give us the ball back.

Next shot he's sitting laughing and shaking his head with said ball with a knife in it and he's eating macaroni cheese with a fucking knife and fork!

The woman in the green snd pink bowler hats advertising Bingo in the ad breaks for Loose Women. The smug, gurning, so pleased with herself look on her face and wiggle makes me want to poke her eyes out.

All the bloody funeral and cremation ones, it's a non stop reminder of death...fuck off

Plantur39 can get fucked for that woman whispering "over forty" like it's shameful.

However I rather like the Chanel one "we're on each other's teams" but the woman is an average dancer at best, tho beautiful

@GrumpyLivesInMyHouseNow “Jonny Depp and his fucking Sausage” This sounds very interesting. What have I missed? 😍

Omg I thought this was just me! "Up to 100% effective" means anything from 0% up - so they're advertising their product with a claim that it might not work!
