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

[NellesVilla]

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!

Kevin Bacon on EE phone and broadband adds. Her has a new phone every week!

The verisure alarm people are so horrible. Next door have been burgled, no in fear, ao sorry, see they all ok just we should get an alarm now. So selfish
All the direct cremation ones. And perfume ones. And the outdoirable one. Just don't let the washing pile up so if you haven't git a dryer

Vogue Williams and her stupid fairy tablet adverts, telling us to make sure we keep them out of reach of children like she's the only person who's ever had a kid,

She always used to talk about 'making lots of little noises' when caring for her first child. I just assumed she kept constantly blowing off and, for some reason, thought it expedient to inform everybody!

I'm convinced that the Verisure ones 'create the market' for their product in the first place - like the old suspicion about the local glazier sending their kid around town with a catapult and some stones!

I agree with the Aero one, too - brassy-sounding instruments making parpy noises that send runny brown stuff bubbling frantically - did nobody think that, just maybe, associating their chocolate with having a very unwell bottom might not be the most enticing?

That funeral/over 50s insurance advert (the one of many) where they say something like "They can use the money to pay for my funeral - or use it for something else if they prefer". Well, if they use it for something else, who's going to pay for your funeral costs - the very basic necessary elements, even if no ceremony or celebration? Do they expect their family to just pop them in the wheelie bin or haul them over into the landfill skip at the tip?!

Ones where the voiceover person doesn't enunciate. Just Eat makes me stabby. My old music teacher would go nuts if she heard it. We always had to over-pronounce the consonants at the end of a line during singing practice. On the ad, it sounds like they're saying Jus Ee.

The same with the car advert Rylan does. Say your bloody Ts!!!

G##er woo?

“I LOVE CARPETS ME!” Shouted as loud as possible
This one may just be targeted to the area I live, not sure if they are nation wide.
Franks Carpets
It gives me the cringe whenever I see it or hear it on TV or radio.
Never again will I buy carpets from them.

Interesting fact - it's illegal for them to advertise baby formula for newborns (because they shouldn't promote it over breast milk) - so it's always 'follow on' milk for older babies in the adverts.

Cazooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Yeah

Can fuck right off

DAISYDAISYDAISY

Fuck right off.

The On the Beach advert with the really obnoxious family who you would definitely want to avoid on holiday. Will never book with them

Yes! I hate I LOVE CARPETS ME.! I posted the same without seeing your post.

Really annoying but it used to be worse!

Expedia advert with Ewan McGregor. Its not so much the advert but the tune at the end "I go the whole wide world" that singers voice goes right through me. If it comes on its muted before Ewan even finishes his opening sentence.

Rice Krispies advert with the French singing. That gets muted too.

Omaze. Her voice and plastered on grin.

“Perf with Surf.” Obviously targeted at Take a Break readers, but I though adverts were supposed to be aspirational?

The Verisure Alarm ads are beyond dreadful - the acting is so wooden

is it just me or is that one more than slightly pervy?

I totally agree with this. I’m not a package holiday person and this advert reminds me why.

Not the advert but the name ikkle bubba makes me feel sick

The Cadbury one where the guy in the newsagent is emotionally blackmailed in to giving the girl free chocolate, while her mum's happily waiting outside for her to finish the con. Just pay for your child's chocolate you horrible thief! And no, people struggling to make ends meet would not behave like that.

The Oral B advert which mostly focusses on showing us the actress's rear end before she vacuously announces that she "had no idea [famous toothpaste brand] made a toothpaste" - then how was she familiar with the brand?!

The Calgon ads where they seemingly want us to feel sad for 'dying' washing machines - with all the horrors that actual people are suffering in the world, I don't really have any sympathy to spare for machines.

Frosties Kid advert- gave me the rage as a child. Though to be fair I’m now ruled by whims of my kids so have resumed buying Frosties after a 2 decade boycott.

”They're gonna taste great!
With Tony our mate!
Well everybody knows Frosties taste great!
Even ladies who wait!
Or a pie-rate!
And your teenage brother who's out on a date!”

Seriously, who wrote those lyrics?

They've actually made progress though as their adverts used to have rather young looking 'girls' rather than obviously adult women. So creepy.

The adverts where people start rubbing their faces against their freshly laundered sheets, in a full-face of makeup. It just seems like they have some sort of fetish.

On the other side of the coin, I used to enjoy those "Whoosh! Cucumber-rumba" radio adverts from decades ago.

On The Market
On The Beach
Pantene
SCS
Motorway - even if I could drive and own a car
Cinch
Vrbo

Just thought of another one, a cheese ad- Boursin or something similar?

it features an annoying woman in a clinch with a man and she goes: “get ooon with it!”, to the tune of ‘Killing me Softly’. Makes me want to kill the pair of them not too softly and not really to do with cheese.

There’s also one in Asia (for washing capsules) where a woman forces a black man into a washing machine and he come later out as Asian. Could not imagine it being featured in the UK or US.

Any advert where Fearne Cotton is the voice over...

The Verisure Alarm ads are beyond dreadful - the acting is so wooden

Yes, the chap who hesitates before saying "Oh, that's awful" when told that the neighbour has been burgled; surely he's actually mentally rubbing his hands together and thinking "Oh, yes - that's what we like to hear!!"
