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).

All of the ones trying to tick every diversity box in one 90 sec ad 🙄

The zoopla one where everyone is shocked when the woman asks how much the house cost. It's a perfectly reasonable question if you ask me.

It's really not.

I think its washing detergent or softener, where a girl is dancing about on roller skates in a floaty blue dress that keeps riding up her thighs.

I don't why I find it so incredibly annoying- its like they have CGI'ed it so you don't see her knickers.

Mtande · 18/06/2023 20:16

At least you don't see her fanny.

Mtande · 18/06/2023 20:17

That Tesco clubcard where everyone has the same face creeps me out. Is that a selling point now? Assimilation?

The national lottery one, where the couple keep dropping the ticket and having to chase after it, then eventually win, but the chap thinks he's lost it, but it turns out his husband has it. Anyway, as heartwarming as it is, why on earth did they not keep the bleeding thing in their wallets instead of loose in their pockets??

Not to mention how quickly they age 😂

beeonmybonnett · 18/06/2023 20:28

That one with the woman sitting on the toilet is really uncouth. Really no need for that to be shown on television.

EbonyRaven · 18/06/2023 20:29

@MXVIT

The woman on the actual toilet with her knicks round her ankles talking about pads.

This. ^ Awful ad. No-one wants to see that FFS, Hmm It's got fuck-all to do with pretending menstruation doesn't exist, so stick that suggestion up your nose whoever said that.

Whoever signed that piece of shit ad off needs throwing in the bin.

ALSO, the plantur 39 ad where a woman whispers 'for women OVER 40' behind her hand as if being over 40 is something to be quiet about/be ashamed of, Nasty misogynistic advert. Hmm

Mtande · 18/06/2023 20:30

God that booking advert is showing four times now, all massive. Make it stop!

Does anyone else feel sad when they watch the Cotswold Company adverts? They just make me think that everyone is going to die some day.

OhhhhhhhhBiscuits · 18/06/2023 20:31

The dove mens "self care" ad for deodorant. It gives me so much rage.

Floralnomad · 18/06/2023 20:31

The Secret Escape adverts , Verisure adverts and any for over 50s life insurance

Hidingawaytoday · 18/06/2023 20:31

Oh, I have another one - the No 7 ad! Where the woman goes up and compliments another woman's skin, then throws a load of No 7 products in her basket... she just seems so annoying and weird and intense.

ceecee32 · 18/06/2023 20:31

Every single ad mentioned already plus -
Who is that woman with 2 kids on the washing powder ad who says clunk click or something. Am I supposed to know who she is ?

I think its Vogue Williams. Was married to Bryan from Westlife and now married to Spencer from made in Chelsea. She is so irritating and apparently a right bitch in normal life.

Mtande · 18/06/2023 20:32

I think she's on daytime tv. I don't know though. She acts like she's a role model.

Einevinefine · 18/06/2023 20:33

A lot already mentioned but I can’t stand the Pampers Poonami one🤮.

That is fucking weird. If that happened in real life, most people would call for security. Who the F is writing, and creating, and agreeing for these ads to be shown? Confused

I hate that too.

EbonyRaven · 18/06/2023 20:36

SofiaSoFar · 18/06/2023 20:13

It's really not.

Agree. Cheeky and rude to ask the price of something. And fecking nosey.

the80sweregreat · 18/06/2023 20:39

'I didn't know you had dandruff '
' I don't , so F off ' .. is what he really wants to say.
The waterboard vole puppet thing is horrible too.

Oh yes I hate it too! Gross 🤢

"More reasons to shop at Morrisons" sung annoyingly to a tune it doesn't fit into properly.

The one where people are wiping bogeys here, there and everywhere. I don't want to see a kid wiping their nose into their mum's hair while I'm eating my lunch thanks 🤮

The woman on the actual toilet with her knicks round her ankles talking about pads

Is nothing sacred

This 100%

Also the woman at yoga with her leaky bladder "I'm letting it all go" all smug and smiley....i want to boak

Anyotherdude · 18/06/2023 20:49

The off-key woman lorry driver wailing Coldplay’s “Yellow”. I would never have believed that the song could be made worse than it already is! (Can you tell I’m not a fan?)🤣🤣🤣
