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

Yorkshire Tea. Hope Sean Bean carries on his run and [spoiler] gets killed before the end of the advert but it never happens.

If it's going to be realistic then it needs all the meeting participants to each say 'I call a spade a spade. I'm from Yorkshire and I say it how it is' then all have massive tantrums when someone does the same to them and run to Yorkshire Tea HR.

All adverts with 'Nothing works faster' Nothing contains more active ingredient' 'Works up to 100% of the time' - The confluence of advertising regulation compliance and advertising optimism relying on a lack of listening or numeracy.

The M and S overblown voice over food advert actress needs to advertise sanpro, incontinence and constipation products.

@cobblers123

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. Shock
Charles Manson and an ostrich in a supermarket. I'm sold. Why would you not want to rush out and buy the perfume!?
Gormless · 14/12/2021 18:11

‘Buy a thing, sell a thing’. ARGH.

The one with Stacey Dooley twirling around in some big pants and a very annoying voiceover saying thing like "She does Stacy... she does twirls... and coffee with the girls (cue her laughing with a huge drag queen)... she does her. I have NO idea what it's for 🤷🏼‍♀️

Needdoughnuts · 14/12/2021 18:25

Eamon Holmes and the fucking Revitive Medic. I wouldn't be surprised if sales had actually gone down because of it

Needdoughnuts · 14/12/2021 18:27

And that EXcuse of the year shite. No words...

Isseywith3witchycats · 14/12/2021 18:27

@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.
I love this one, the Halifax man is my secret crush
Hellocatshome · 14/12/2021 18:30

I know I shouldn't say this because it's for charity but the "Hello I'm Keira" advert for the braille letters from Santa really grates on me.

Waitwhat23 · 14/12/2021 18:33

@redandwhite1

The 'Very' advert and only for the super over the top woman who seems to be at the front every shot blatantly miming and her mouth being all wide and annoying - she irritates the hell out of me!!
You've just reminded me of the Wowcha ones with three lassies dancing about with crappy personalised cushions - the overacting is epic! There's even some ridiculous high kicks at the end.
tumpletops · 14/12/2021 18:37

I THINK it's the Halifax advert that's been mentioned here countless times, but earlier in the ad when there are lots of people saying "thank you" for various things, there's a shot of a man stroking a dog lying on a vet's fable. So clearly that dog is about to be PTS and the man is saying thanks for being a brilliant dog my best friend etc it's about 4 seconds long and makes me cry EVERY SINGLE TIME AngrySad

Ireolu · 14/12/2021 18:40

Advertising agencies need to do some market research on MN. When I read the title of this thread first thing I thought was

Daisy Daisy Daisy flipping Daisy.

I hate that advert. And so do several people from the look of this thread. Really put me off the scent which I wore alot in my 20s.

And several other perfume ads they reel out during this time of year. In fact when the one million Paco rabane one comes on in November, I am reminded yep it's nearly Christmas.

Londonwriter · 14/12/2021 18:44

Tesco. Yes, something is stopping us now. It’s the hugely contagious flipping virus that also stopped us last year 🦠

@LonglegsMumtheBlacksmith

Sorry, I was more angry about Colgate woman than I had anticipated.
Is that the ‘Heart!’, ‘Bum!’, ‘Legs!’ One? If so, I LOATHE it.

Hair dye, I hate the use of ‘girls’ rather than ‘women’ or ‘friends’.
BanditoShipman · 14/12/2021 18:56

Sorry I’m on a roll, the wowcher one with some woman, think she’s a comedian? SHUDDER

WomanStanleyWoman · 14/12/2021 18:56

I think they cut it now, but his speech used to end with an offhand ‘Oh, and the fire drill’s at 10 on Thursday’. It’s not a bloody fire drill then, is it?! The whole point is that you don’t tell people they’re happening!!

SamWidges · 14/12/2021 19:17

Outdoorables?

"You think you've got grief, but I'm running out of briefs", the whole ditty.

Zilla1 · 14/12/2021 19:21

I want Sheila's Wheels back.

And 'Daddy or chips'. Though when COVID vaccinations started, I half expected an anti-vaxxer to over dub with the two children saying 'Daddy is chipped, daddy is chipped'...

Sunbird24 · 14/12/2021 19:25

On the subject of perfume ads - Carolina Herrera! Not so much the actual ads, but the names of the products… Good Girl and Bad Boy! Who came up with those FFS??

Totally agree. Surely no one believes it works because he is being paid a fortune to say it does
AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 14/12/2021 19:27

The advert for the carpet cleaner 'kids being kids (kids spill drink) or accidental spills'
Why is kids spilling a drink kids being kids? But dad spills it and it's an accident? Dads the clumsy twat who nearly spills his again at the end of the advert. Pisses me off. Poor kids.

SkiingIsHeaven · 14/12/2021 19:28

The "room smells like an armpit" one.
