Which of the most recent batch of TV Ads. most make you grit your teeth?

[RocassaCH]

I'll go for "I'll have the gravlax", "Dust Magnet", "The Happy World of Haribo", "Bladder leakage" and Plusnet's Pink Furry Ball (the vacuum cleaner ad that never was).

@FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper that's a very good point. It's not misleading advertising as such, as per the ASA regulations - well I don't think so, anyway? - but it's in the territory of being a model/actor mimicking a disabled person. It's just daft.

Any cleaning product that uses a popular song but changes the words and uses some bloke who can't sing
Bold and Flash I'm looking at you 😡

All the menopause ads showing during Van der Valk. They clearly think women of a certain age are watching it (and I guess they are right)

They are a bit cringey though.

The cruise in the Antarctic one because the voiceover is awful - smug and pompous.

Not a cleaning product, but that advert where they sang "I've finally found the right snaaaaaack" to the tune of Total Eclipse of The Heart irritated me sooooo intensely.

Daisy. Daisy. Daisy. Daisy... never has an advert annoyed me more than this one.

Sorry to say it but the cancer research one 'you don't believe it til it walks through that door' the people on it are clearly all actors and irritating ones at that.

The Slim Fast one with Kelly Brooke, naff as hell. V off-putting!

I know one of the women on there - I worked with her years ago - and she did actually lose her Mum to cancer. She has since become a passionate campaigner and fundraiser.

That doesn't mean that I choose to support the charity myself, mind - of course I support the stated aims, but not the way the charity is run (like most of the enormous ones).

The Webuyanycar one with everyone bursting into song!!!! The Sure deo one with the female dancer. All the Flash cleaning products one, Sky sports circus ad, Keith Lemon 32 Red, ee broadband ad with the snake,

Following on from the worst current ads on tv at the moment which ones are the best.

Amazon ad with the night security guard learning to cook and maybe applying to be a chef

Yep, we have managed to advertise toilet paper for decades without anyone wiping their bum.

I think Irn Brew is the standard to which all ads should aspire.

Vagasil
Tena
Pee pants

There's nothing sacred

It only struck me, watching an Episode last night - and correct me if I am wrong - only "Bangers And Cash" appears to have escaped this unwarranted imposition. So popular, UKTV have just signed up for a long rash of Episodes. (I'll bet I've just ruined it forever now and reduced my terrestrial Channel choice to re-runs of 'Bullseye' (sic).

The one I hate most at the moment is the Grape Tree one. Why does nothing in the shop have a price label? And where are all the staff?

My mum's most hated is the More Than pet insurance one with the man going around shouting "Sausage" all the time.

Yep, same here.

I've been seeing some bonkers handbag one that is naff.

Yes!

I was thinking about that the other day - I don't recall the 'ad which sparked my thinking, but they seem to want to portray at least 80% of the UK in a gay/bi/trans/non-white/step-family household.

The brands and creatives must be tying themselves in knots trying to cover absolute every possible blend in a single ad'. 😂

The one where the women's phone bings all the time and she goes "aaaahhhh" despite her husband being stung/ piss wet through. Pack it in you annoying twat!!!

The one with dogs pissing on the floor during my dinner
Think it might be for 'Plenty'

The rule in this house is that when that advert comes on, I drop what I'm doing and grab dh's hand. He drops what he's doing and scrambles to get his hands out of the way.
We were watching tv in bed one night and the advert came on, he threw himself sideways and fell off the bed. I laughed so much I was nearly sick! We still do it though.

Just sold my car through We Buy Any Car

I hate that jingle with a burning passion. We were on a long drive, and it came up in every single ad break on Classic FM - it only took a few repetitions for my eye to start twitching at the first note.

Good heavens - that was not the formatting I was expecting! Apologies for being shouty.

No-one is being "denied" anything. If you want to commemorate someone's life no-one is stopping you just because you don't have a corpse present.

Emotional blackmail works both ways.

The woman on the loo one for me. Awful
