Some adverts are so bad you’ll never purchase the product?

That bloody Abel and Cole as has just been on whilst I was happily listening to LBC radio. It’s so crap, especially compounded by the fact that the young lad can’t sing (I’m sure he’s lovely but he’s time deaf).

I’d never purchase from them as the advert winds me up so much; what adverts put you off the company to this extent?

I also hate any cereal adverts, the Ariel ones and ones where women are doing every shitty domestic crap for the men and children.

I'm a sucker for most adverts with cute dogs in though!

The Opportuni advert (on LBC as well) makes me want to pull someone's eye out.

O-P-P-O-R-T-U-N-I dot com...

Dropping the final ity makes you sounds thick as shit. Stop it!

Also this is a slightly older one but Surf... Purf with Surf! Danni Dyer. AGH stop! The accent. The voice. Please stop!

A razor ad on Facebook with a person whose breasts have been removed - through choice, not cancer, and hairy armpits. The razor was aimed at women.

The Aero advert with the blaring parking trumpets and what looks like a bubbling vat of shit!

Oh God, yes. This. Any company that starts with Hello or Hi like we are old friends makes me want to gag. All the faus familiarity stuff is awful.

It's horrible isn't it, as if they're advertising self harming more than anything else

Nationwide. Every single advert. The keyboard playing sisters was a low point and one about a kitchen table.

Yorkie bars - they used to be my favorite chocolate but I haven't eaten them since they introduced the 'not for girls ' slogan in 2002.

I came on to say the same.

THIS ROOM SMELLS LIKE AN ARMPIT!

The Tena lady incontinence pants with the voiceover saying they're "pretty AND protective" or something similar - the woman's pronunciation drives me nuts!

Also perf with Surf for hiring Dani Dyer. Love Island people are not celebrities.

I don’t actually mind the really cheap and cheesy ads. The ones that look they were made for a ten pound budget. Reminds me of my childhood! The ones that really piss me off are the really pretentious ones that have nothing to do with the product. Nationwide and the truly awful poetry were the first ones that sprang to mind. There’s also the awful add with the woman who gets in a car and drives and as she drives she gets older? I can’t even remember the product they’re advertising but I can remember she’s in a Volvo so I always think it’s a Volvo ad (but it’s not!)
Reading through these I also agree that the Tena ads are appalling.

’Perf with surf’ = like nails down a blackboard. Whoever thought up that one should be shot.

Yes, my pet hates are (as mentioned) the Lenor " Where is the sun?" ad which is very irritating and I detest the LV ones - the music in particular.

I guess it’s a sign of the times that I’m pathetically grateful that they say “get it up there, girls” rather than “get it up there, people”

The worst Verisure one is when one woman says "we had one fitted after we were burgled and I'm still nervous" then she sums up by saying she feels so much safer now she's got an alarm. Make your mind up love you can't have it both ways.

The shit nationwide "poets" give me the raggggeeee

Anything that’s advertised by a celebrity who most definitely would not use the product they’re promoting. So some Hollyoaks actress advertising Very clothing, or Julia Roberts advertising Lancôme, I think fair enough I can believe they actually use that. But are we really expected to believe that Philip Schofield flogs his used Aston Martins on webuyanycar?

I don't really understand Tena pants and wearing them for an occasion because surely once you've peed once or twice they'll need changing. I am however an expert on using incontince pads.

I have to admit to finding the actor who is supposed to be doing the house survey for Verisure really creepy and insincere. I have visions of him returning late at night as a murderer as he now knows where all the couple’s vulnerable points of entry are!

To the PPs who hate the Calgon advert - don’t go to Austria. DD was there on a skiing holiday, and sent me a postcard. She only wrote one line: “Waschmaschinen leben langer mit Calgon!”
Apparently the ad had been on the tv there every time DD switched it on!

Agree with Perv with Surf. Also the Plantur caffeine shampoo with the stupid woman trying to make out she doesn't look every one of her 40+ years.
From over 30 years ago an advert for a particular fizzy soft drink that was filmed with a black and white grainy effect. I was pregnant with dc1 and couldn't watch it as it made me vomit (literally). To this day I cannot drink the stuff and even saying the name of it makes my stomach heave!

This ^ talk about alienating 50% of your consumers in one go!!

Forgot to mention 'JuneDad and his parsnips' from whatever the insurance advert is.

The pain relief gel (I think?) which feature Eamon Holmes

"Ma Leeeeegggggg"

Utter cringe!

And yy to 'perf with surf'
Ugh

Any radio adverts that feature car horns. Gives me a shock every time when I’m driving

Oh me too, or anything that sounds like an emergency services siren

There was was a radio ad that thankfully seems to have run its course, that had a woman, who was supposed to be the boss treating an employee, saying in a really weird deep voice ‘ah * my favourite restaurant! You’ve had great results this quarter, what are you having’ (can’t remember the restaurant and it was words to this effect)

Then a bloke saying ‘oh nothing we cards don’t eat anything!’ then she’d reply ‘ah yes because you’re an American Express gold card aren’t you?’

She was in a restaurant. Dining out and conversing with a credit card…

It was SHYTE 😂I’d turn the radio down when it came on in was so bad 😂
