Maybe not AIBU, but I’ve got to get this off my chest.
I’m catching up on Facebook and if I have to see that advert for Louis Vuitton with the vapid, slack jawed woman strolling around looking at art, I’m going to scream.
Other adverts for my hit list include
Cinch with Rylan and his massive gnashers
Go Compare
Those bloody meerkats
Kevin Bacon EE adverts
What happened to the lovely adverts with kittens jumping out of a bag of chocolate digestives or the Guinness ‘tick follows rock’?
What are your most hated (or most loved)?

Anything with Philip Schofield or Ant and Dec.....plus all of the above !

MrsMoastyToasty · 24/07/2022 15:59

The Listerine ad.

A donkey?
A donkey with a Scottish accent?

Why?

TheDoveFromAboveCooCoo · 24/07/2022 16:02

WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps · 24/07/2022 15:15

That fucking GHASTLY OMAZE ad with the middle aged blonde woman with the sickly sweet annoying smile and the sickly sweet annoying voice. PLUS, the house they always seem to have in the competition is UGLY AS FUCK!!!!!!

Also, Myleene 'Smuggy McSmuggington' Klass has been on it a few times now shudder Confused

This X a million!! I swear that woman drives me insane.

EV117 · 24/07/2022 16:02

I’m not sure what it was for, it may have been sun life or something similar. Lady who looks about 65, dress sense even older, is on the phone to sort out insurance and is asked her age, says she’s 50 years old.

Bibbetybobbity · 24/07/2022 16:02

Agree with PPs saying Nationwide. How did that ever get signed off? It’s awful- I grab the remote to mute it every time. Just rage inducing.

SpotlessMind88 · 24/07/2022 16:04

I hate the Nationwide adverts with the poetry / spoken word rubbish.

loved the Cadbury advert with the Gorilla playing the drums years and years ago though. And i love a Christmas advert at Christmas time

bloodyplanes · 24/07/2022 16:06

The Marc Jacobs " Daisy" advert

Amdone123 · 24/07/2022 16:06

@SummerLobelia , what is that advert about ? I've seen it a few times and I'm just puzzled.
The Verisure ones just make me laugh now. Someone on here said once that the men ( in the early ones) didn't have speaking parts ; they just smiled and nodded ; it's all I can think of when they come on.

SummerLobelia · 24/07/2022 16:09

I think it is for pet insurance @Amdone123 It irritates me immensely and is slightly creepy.

The other one I hate as well are the haribo ones with the child voices.

EasyLifer · 24/07/2022 16:10

I don't like the EE adverts but I love seeing Kevin Bacon, he was one of my teenage crushes.

I hate the dating agency adverts with the middle aged couples being all silly and giggly because they've found lurve, there's one with a man on roller skates and he just looks a twat.

gelatogina · 24/07/2022 16:11

Any perfume advert, why are they still stuck in the 80s?

and the advert with the woman going for a run in the city at 2am, as if that ever happens!

Blackdiame · 24/07/2022 16:19

The new Kleenex advert that has just appeared on 4od. With close ups on runny snotty noses with a play on the word 'streaming'. It's fucking gross.

Geneva12 · 24/07/2022 16:19

The Nationwide poetry Adverts.

Wiglio · 24/07/2022 16:24

The body form ads. An actual soiled towel ffs. Way tmi.

CandyCaneLane0 · 24/07/2022 16:34

Hy-a-lo-ron-ic acid 😡

monicagellerbing · 24/07/2022 16:48

That fucking Jane Plan advert. Such shit acting from people who apparently lost weight then Jane herself comes on with her stupid voice and ridiculous hand movements. Fuck off Jane and your shitty food

TimBoothseyes · 24/07/2022 16:53

All of them.

Thisisit2022 · 24/07/2022 16:54

The Lindor one where the woman slowly unwraps the chocolate, pulls her sleeves up coyly, nibbles at the outside of it. Just fucking eat it.

The sponsor ads for Sun Bingo on CBS Reality where Joanna Page screeches and totally overeggs her Welsh accent to implore bored housewives to get into debt playing this shit.

Every 60+ ad in the daytime. Older people who practically can't wait to die as they're so excited about their funeral plans kicking in. Oh and the 60+ woman telling her 60+ husband the reason they can't get decent holiday insurance is that he dared to have medical problems.

HannahSternDefoe · 24/07/2022 17:01

All of the "charity" begging adverts.
Surely the money would be better spent on the animal/child/disease rather than infecting a rather good film?

Gambling (inc bingo/win a house/charity lotto) should be banned.

The "Daisy" ones look like a pervs paradise.

Nannewnannew · 24/07/2022 17:03

@Govesdancingpartner yes, I agree, the Haribo advert also gives me the rage.
@Yiayoula yes, yes,yes, I have never seen such an ugly baby! Why do they think it would make people buy their nappies. 😩

gatehouseoffleet · 24/07/2022 17:07

Goodluckanddontfuckitup · 24/07/2022 15:19

The Marc Jacobs Daisy one is everywhere at the minute. It's creepy as fuck.
Daisy daisy daisy daisy 😱

Yes this one and the Perfect one. Yuck.

Anything with annoying music and jingles (eg British Gas, Just Eat). A word to marketing bods - not everyone is under 25 (and even some of them prefer good music, not rubbish) and actually older people tend to have more spending power. So stop trying to scare us off with your advertising please.

TitoMojito · 24/07/2022 17:16

Daisy Daisy Daisy

The poonami 🤢

Any Nationwide advert

The "Our Time" dating adverts on the Drama channel

God so many...
