I mean, how many sweets must Haribo sell, to be able to afford to show their irritating ads SO often?

The domino hoo hoo one. It's soooo bad.

Americano75 · 28/09/2025 11:55

Said this on another thread but the Heinz beans crying man one makes me murderous.

DiscoBob · 28/09/2025 11:58

The one with that smarmy banker played by Dominic west. His daughter really rudely asking for money and him calling her an AI.

It's so cringe it makes me feel sick!

Nannyfannybanny · 28/09/2025 12:00

How long have you got! Vogue William and Molly Mae selling detergent. The muddy people in a field,put their dirty clothes in a washing machine..... which just happened to be there, and Peter Crouch,no, the washing DIDN'T come out that white. Yes Domino's.. one of my border collies loves the EE advert.

NavyNorris · 28/09/2025 12:02

Domino adverts. All of them.

Tesco Whoosh.

All of the gambling/online gaming ones.

Davina McCall saying no get your own for some hair product trying to act all sassy and relevant.
Craig david in just eat is he skint ?
Stacey solomon doing hello fresh .
Oh god so.many I will be back

CynicalSunni · 28/09/2025 13:45

The tesco whoosh adverts just because the people in them are morons.

Who just sits there grinning when your crappily made cup breaks? It was like they trying too hard to make people look kooky.

MasterBeth · 28/09/2025 13:47

British Gas fluffy CGI family.

Ahwig · 28/09/2025 13:59

And adverts for a tv programme that I’m actually watching at the time.

God the detergent ones are so valid and saccharine. Molly flipping mae and her dreamy washing liquid. Bleeuurggh!

Noonk · 28/09/2025 14:28

The bloody Vintage ads! On all the time!

DisplayPurposesOnly · 28/09/2025 14:33

Holidays in Turkey.

All the toilet fresheners and loo paper ones that look so sterile, especially if they involve 'cute' children.

Washing ones with people clutching their collars to sniff them. Look deranged.

Haribo adults w kids' voices. Joke's well and truly worn off.

twoshedsjackson · 28/09/2025 14:33

Still cross about Robinson's squash, although they seem to be showing it less, so people may have complained.
Teacher feels obliged to speak to speak to mum about her son's disruptive, silly behaviour; from experience, this indicates that something needs sorting - not just wallying about, life's too short for the minor stuff - and mum makes the right apologetic noises.
On arriving home, no suggestion of Serious Words, but a hefty slug of a sugary drink, and conspiratorial giggling.

johnworf · 28/09/2025 14:44

All of the Flash ads.
The one for tena pads (?) Where she's sat on the loo pouring liquid onto various sanitary pads.
Domino (hoohoo)
The Virgin ads with the sea lion in a boat

And finally....the one i dislike the most..

The posh useless bloke boss in the Nationwide ads.

Yes, same! It's a dreadful advert and the sniveling git would actually deter me from buying Heinz Beans rather than encourage me.

Bladderpool · 28/09/2025 14:51

The Audi one with the horrible acapella choir singing I like to move it. In what universe would that encourage someone to buy an Audi?

IAmThePrettiestManOnMyIsland · 28/09/2025 14:53

I can't stand the Muller advert of the teacher licking the lid. I actually have to switch it over.

Oh I know the Craig David one is awful! He was naff then and even naffer now.

Snoop Dog did those adverts too but it didn’t seem to damage his credibility. I do know that people get an enormous amount of money from advertising.

yes me too.....can't bear it

Errolwasahero · 28/09/2025 15:01

Any that have stupid dancing… makes up the majority! No I won’t feel so happy I want to dance around like a loon if I use your stupid fucking product.

and that horrible one with the mouth in the forehead; gives me the utter creeps.

Ooh that felt good, thanks!

cornflakecrunchie · 28/09/2025 15:03

YES, re the Molly Mae ones, is she another sodding influencer or something? All these apparently famous folk popping up who I've never heard of..

OH & that little lad who has to go to the loo in school, Andrex, I think.. makes me feel sick..

Idris Elba and that utterly bloody broadband router...

Robbie Williams singing about cat food.

Is he really that in need of cash?

Silverbirchleaf · 28/09/2025 15:42

Coco pops, spinning tops.

Also, was listening to Ken Bruce, to see what his new show was like and they advertised his show during it! It was several months after he’d switched, and it wasn’t just a jingle, but a proper advert. I didn’t last long on that station.
