Annoying advert

AIBU to think that the voice over in the Vodaphone adverts is THE most annoying ever?? I get the impression it’s supposed to sound sexy and hip (God am showing my age) but it just sounds so bloody annoying!!

I accept your Vodaphone and raise you Lloyds bank I am Giant song. And the Lloyds bank where the entire town leaves before the dawn to watch the horses run across the beach

I really hate that new Crown paint advert where it a woman is pregnant and the song says something like "Daves just hoping its his" Hmm

Wilkolampshade · 17/08/2022 23:31

Nah, it's the Wren kitchen ad with the preternaturally surprised young couple vaulting orgasmically over worksurfaces in a kitchen showroom. Jesus, makes me stabby every time. Worst. Ever.

I wonder how long will it be before someone invokes the MN I Didn't Even Know Oral-B Made Toothpaste protocol.

The wheels on the bus (itv) is really pissing me off at the moment

Geepee71 · 17/08/2022 23:37

The plant based chicken dipper one, ever since my mum told me it gives her the rage, I can't help but notice it

I came on to this thread to say that the new Crown advert is the most annoying ad atm

Apparently there's been 150 complaints to ofcom about it

Leafy3 · 17/08/2022 23:42

The most annoying advert atm is the one where the voiceover imitates a fizzy drink being popped and poured.

The moment I want to start throwing things at the tv it stops...Now tell me thats not a coincidence. Well, jokes on you ad people - I haven't a clue what you're trying to sell and I don't effin care.

Babyroobs · 17/08/2022 23:43

I hate that " I don't go to specsavers they come to me" advert. It's just so irritating.

Derrymum123 · 18/08/2022 00:02

The McDonald's one with the lorry driver singing. He brings his wife a chicken burger from points he has collected. Presumably he has eaten hundreds but she gets a freebie. Tight wad.

I hate that one too! They changed the wording too. It WAS 'why don't you try it mummy, are you scared you will mess it up and everyone will talk about the time when mummy did that thing???' NOW it's 'why don't you try it mummy, are you scared of trying something new, so you just do the same thing again and again?'

Why they changed it I don't know. Annoying ad.

Also hate the lorry driver one for Maccies. 'baby baby babeeeee.' Typical box-ticking in both ads too.

But...horses❤️

KathieFerrars · 19/08/2022 21:41

No, the dubbed child voice (obviously an adult pretending to be a child'. 'Dad, the dishwasher is stinky again!'. Awful on every level.

The Lloyds one is annoying though the horses are nice.

This is ridiculous, lets just shame mum on a bench !

  • The one for sweets where the adults have kids’ voices. Yuck.
  • The Louis Rednapp one- can’t stand the way she says: “ppwwroduct” in her “posh” voice when she is anything but.
  • The army one on the radio where the silly bint does her “voices” for different situations, such as “commanding” voice, “calm, talking to the villagers” voice, and her “intimate” voice. So irritating.
  • That one on the radio for debris. Normally on LBC and the dentist- Andrew something?- sounds so incredibly insincere, like “give me all your money and I’ll show real enthusiasm”.
NellesVilla · 19/08/2022 21:52

*Dentist, not debris

And as ever, those horrific Nationwide ones.

This thread is making me think of the awful ads on The Apprentice- so bad that they were good!!

Wow, a whole 150? A few million people have probably seen it and out of that 150 could be arsed to complain?

lollipoprainbow · 01/09/2022 23:17

The twee and slightly creepy Rightmove scarecrow one.

Piglet89 · 01/09/2022 23:26

@RockItLikeRocketFuel the protocol. 😂🤣😂🤣😂

blockpavingismynightmare · 01/09/2022 23:32

The Calgon advert where the man is clearly talking in another language is so cheap and crap. Would I buy Calgon based on this ?

Nope

abblie · 01/09/2022 23:35

All iff them BUT it's the new head and shoulders one who gets on like James bond

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 02/09/2022 00:07

I’m very annoyed by one where a drag Queen lives in the fridge and compliments a woman on her “triangle sarnies”, as though these are some sort of achievement. Then starts singing about passion fruit martinis. I’m not sure if that’s on real TV or just streaming services.

billyt · 02/09/2022 14:31

Those irritating twats on the Veresure ads do my frigging head in. Such poor quality ads with ham acting. And for a shit product.

LurkingBookseller · 02/09/2022 14:42

Bloody Smooth Radio ad.

“I’m just going for a … poo. I bet you weren’t expecting to hear that on the radio, were you”

Well, actually I was, because I hear you say it every feckin half an hour without fail 😖 For the love of God people, will you please send the poo sampling people some poo samples to shut the bugger up! 😡

Itloggedmeoutagain · 02/09/2022 14:47

You're all wrong!
The most annoying is daisy daisy daisy daisy daisy daisy
