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)?

VERISURE. Forgot about them.

Oral B advert

" I didn't know oral B made a toothpaste "

Fuck off. Then fuck off some more
That advert would invoke rage I didn't know I had

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

Yes, this creeps me out and I don’t know why?
The Omaze woman annoys me.
And car ad with Schofield, but he just annoys me anyway.

Sun bingo with that awful squeaky voiced Joanna Paige 😱😱😱

Also the Viking cruise advert with the woman with the terribly put on voice.

whoamitojudge · 24/07/2022 17:22

The one for a funeral plan ( can’t remember which one) where the family are celebrating and the man says “ my lot know how to party!”
Grrrrrr

‘Someone’s knocking at the door, somebody’s ringing the bell…’

ANY sanitary towel one, or pant-liner one

UseOfWeapons · 24/07/2022 17:24

Another vote for the spine-chillingly awful ‘Daisy, Daisy!’ A
ads, and the Magnum one, I turn off the sound.
The super noodles ad, with the woman with a donkey on her back.
Anything at all with happy, healthy, laughing people who are all without flaw, with an appropriate number of children, running carefree into a fantastic holiday/meal/ toilet cleaner…all having such a wonderful time!
The Verisure alarm ad appears to have been done by the same people who decided the Over 50 plan with dear June was a good idea. I’m sorry to tell them that it makes me want to drown myself in a vat of soup.

WhereYouLeftIt · 24/07/2022 17:24

Oh god yes, the daisy daisy daisy advert. They all look as if they're in a cult (and zonked to boot).

All gambling ads, but particularly the Keith Lemon one - absolutely gives me the rage. Do you not know that gambling can destroy people, you wanker?

I quite like the Haribo ad! The voices are actual children that the adults lip-sync to, it makes me laugh.

The one for incontinence pads where she’s doing yoga and says she’s letting it all go

gatehouseoffleet · 24/07/2022 17:07

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.

Hate that.."i'm pah-fect". Over and over. Grr

SausagePourHomme · 24/07/2022 17:30

I love however the advert with the guy who bellows "NEVER GAMBLE..." as though he is in panto

Daisymaybe60 · 24/07/2022 17:31

Anything with overpaid and overhyped "celebrities" persuading folk, usually old folk, to part with their cash - particularly Michael bloody Parkinson and Carol bloody Vorderman and their insurance policies. Haven't you made enough money yet?

And yes, gambling adverts, particularly the ones depicting it as such jolly good innocent fun, not the life-changing curse it can be for so many - I'd like to see them all banned.

Oh good God. I'm glad I've missed out on that one.

We buy any car 😤 philip achofoeld does my head in and the sky tv adverts

HannahSternDefoe · 24/07/2022 17:37

The Virgin one with the big gob full of gold teeth.

I'm at the point now that when there's an ad break I turn the TV off for 3 or 4 mins.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 24/07/2022 17:38

Vodafone adverts , the voiceover is the scratchy squeaky throat-ey voice that just makes me wince .

And a bank one (I've blotted which one) where a teenage girl is in her bedroom with her talking guinea-pig .
Then they get flung into the air , the girl and the guinea pig thump bak onto the bed ( I know its not real)
We see a lone guinea-pig , with a tiny plastic cage , in a teens bedroom being thrown by the "force"
No , No and No

EV117 · 24/07/2022 17:42

The tooth paste one where she knows how to keep her body healthy but ‘how do I keep my mouth healthy??’
My 3 year old could tell her she needs to brush her teeth twice a day. Her breath must stink with that lack of knowledge.

Yes. That one too!

Is it NatWest? Obviously it's really successful if neither of us can remember which bloomin' bank it's for!

EV117 · 24/07/2022 17:43

and something about incontinence pads that make you feel ‘pretty’

925XX · 24/07/2022 17:45

The fucking yodelling Domino ho ho ad.

CandyCaneLane0 · 24/07/2022 16:34

Hy-a-lo-ron-ic acid 😡

Yes, that one. Patronising as fuck. Quick, put glasses on bint that says 'it's science'. Who is this advert aimed at? How thick do they assume the general public to be?
I avoid advert channels normally so I haven't seen many of these. My teens have Family Guy on though and that one crops up frequently. It infuriates me.

TidyDancer · 24/07/2022 17:49

I'm quite pleased to hear so many others share my hate of the Nationwide adverts! They are just so awful!

dudsville · 24/07/2022 17:49

There's a VW car ad at the moment with a young girl being cool and fearless on her skateboard with only one eye and a cool patch over the other eye. It then cuts to her as an adult being cool and fearless and still with the cool eye patch over one eye - and through out the whole "Independent woman" bit is a song in the back ground that says something like "how hard it is for a man to love a woman when he doesn't have any prospects". Who paired this visual with this song???????
