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

Miley Cyrus Gucci ad urrrgggh!

The Branston pickle one, with the voicemail from the mum (who sounds like she’s in her 70s) to her daughter who's just moved away:
“It’s only silly, but I know it’s your favourite”
Just winds me up and I’m not really sure why!

But how do I keep my mouth healthy??

I can't be the only one shouting "BY SHUTTING IT!!!!"

It may not be scientifically-proven to solve her problem, but it most definitely would solve mine!!!

My daughter is called Daisy. She now answers to her middle name.

Unfortunately, you named her after that advert, so her name is Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Daisy Jacobs Grin

Is it the Flash one that, from the song, sounds like it's called White Dung?

You're hoping to encourage me to buy a cleaning product made from (and proudly named after) bird poo? It'll be a no from me, thanks.

Can I have a radio advert?

The 'Cinch' advert about the nativity play where they say the child has 'cinched' it. No, she hasn't! She's murdering that carol with her terrible affected wail.

Bagadverts · 14/12/2021 19:58

Many mentioned here, which I know means the agency has done its job.

Schofield would make me actively chose not to use the website. As does ooooo and the dominoes.

@GinJeanie

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 🤷🏼‍♀️
It's for hair dye.

Speaking of hair, it's bonanza time for actors with red hair at the moment. It's hard to find an advert without one.

Bloodypunkrockers · 14/12/2021 21:03

The Wowcher particularly the ginger woman

Jingleballsup · 14/12/2021 21:13

All the perfume ads and Muller yoghurt ads...the one that Nicole Scherzinger hilariously getting yoghurt on her nose. Just Eat ..Snoop Dogg urgh...New one with Cheryl Cole...Namaste. Fuck off Cheryl.

@bearlyactive so sorry to read about your beautiful DCat. Wishing you strength, it’s never easy x

Stigsmother · 14/12/2021 21:20

I do like the Very advert though.....lots of cynicism all wrapped up in a (Very) merry jingle Xmas Wink

MrsWhites · 14/12/2021 21:27

The viagra cartoon one with the couple in bed....makes my skin crawl it’s so creepy and patronising!

The Miley Cyrus Gucci perfume one makes me turn the tv off.

PeaAndHamSoupFromATurkey · 14/12/2021 21:29

If anyone else is watching Strictly The Real Full Monty this thread is like a bingo card for the ad breaks during it. 🤣

MabelsApron · 14/12/2021 21:35

Any advert for baby products that’s narrated as if it’s directed at the baby.

All pampers ones are like this (“imagine how intensely baby feels everything in their world!” no, shan’t.) but it strays into other products too (“close with a click!” said with tinkly little laugh, “I make lots of noises when looking after Theodore…”)

I don’t know why it annoys me so much - I always want to shout at them that the baby can’t understand the advert so they might want to aim it at the adults instead?!

RoseLavenderBlue · 14/12/2021 21:41

The one for Lindt chocolate where the woman takes a bite of the chocolate and her eyes kind of glaze over with pleasure, it’s been on for years and I’m so fed up of it.

Stacey Dooley hair dye one. Also any hair/beauty product where there’s a small note in the corner like ‘72% of 84 people agree’. It’s always a sum that does not work out to whole numbers.

That British Gas one with the awful - -noise- -music.

Fomofo · 14/12/2021 21:52

All perfume adverts, but daisy daisy feckin daisy is deeply annoying and deeply problematic

Fomofo · 14/12/2021 21:54

Oh god the lindt chocolate one, who eats chocolate like that? Directed by a man

LonglegsMumtheBlacksmith · 14/12/2021 22:30

There's one with a woman reminiscing about visiting her favourite caramel shop as a child. A CARAMEL SHOP?! And it's her favourite one, so there were other caramel shops around the place.
Man in caramel shop probably paedophile also.

LonglegsMumtheBlacksmith · 14/12/2021 22:32

Remember when Stacey Dooley was a serious investigative journalist? Now apparently she's just touching up her roots and doing coffee with the girls. FFS

DismantledKing · 14/12/2021 22:34

I hate all adverts, but I always have. It’s not a getting old thing.
Patronising, manipulative bullshit aimed at the lowest common denominator.

mogsrus · 14/12/2021 22:39

What the hell is. She does Stacy ?

Duchess379 · 14/12/2021 22:48

The 'Just Eat' one with the dark haired female & the robotic voice. Really really boils my piss! Just bring back the Snoop version so we can sing along, ffs! 🤦🏼‍♀️

PurpleKittyKnitting · 14/12/2021 22:53

Can't remember what it's for, but an older woman talking about her kids doing different jobs. I think it's for an agency or something.

I've noticed it's changed as it used to have about 4 'kids' doing different jobs

Werthers! The “chef” caramel maker in his fancy outfit making the caramel in the shop! Totally ridiculous. The early iterations definitely implied that it was her favourite of all the caramel shops because the caramel man was giving her free candy or something.
