TV ads that drive you crazy

[cornflakecrunchie]

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

The railway one with the red haired doll/puppet. Anglian railways? Hate hate hate it.

Bulky pee pants. Say no more.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who can’t stand the Dominos ads. They give me the rage for some reason

Bastard Vintage Cash Cow and their ads that seem longer than some feature films. Fuck off you grabby scammy bastards just hoping than some fool sends you a Faberge trinket in with their haul of utter shite.

Phew. That's better.

The one for sanitary towels, Who decided that describing a period as a “Gush” was a good idea.

Bulky pee pads. All that plastic next to the skin.

Farty little pupil in the andrex ad.

Johnny Depp's new Eau u Sausage Ad. Unsexy indeed.

Tui "Hold my hand". When will it go away??

Pepto Bismol "diarrhoea". Nuff said.

I’m so glad you’ve said this one, I mentioned it on a thread the other day! No wonder teachers have behaviour problems in the classroom.

Soooo many…
Ones with people smiling merrily as they was their toilet and giving a big old sniff to prove how fresh it is.

The man crying all holiday because he doesn’t have beans. He needs some serious intervention.

There was one for Wayfair where a woman (Lorraine Kelly?!) visited her friends house then started jumping around doing aerobics with weights in her hands shouting I love Wayfair. What?!

ANY advert where the kid dictates to the parents how to behave.

@CapabilityBrownsHaHa - how did it get to page 2 before anyone mentioned Peptobismol?

My kids do enjoy a good chorus of 'nausea, heartburn, indigestion... upset stomach... DIARRHOEA!" 🤢

Oh God yes! As an ex teacher this one makes me furious every time!!

This drives me mad. Am currently watching Brassic from S1…and getting ads for S7 midway through!!!

The bloody Pepto Bismol one, mainly because I end up with the "diarrheaaaaaa" part stuck in my head.

I don't mind Dominic West the NatWest ads though.

Any of the Pure Cremation, Over 50s Life Insurance or making a will so add (name of charity of choice) to it. 😡

Never got the Craig David hate - Walking Away was a lovely song. And he was only 17 when his first single came out.

I was thinking earlier about those cash for gold adverts that were everywhere about fifteen years ago. They went something like "do you have gold jewellery that you never wear,? Then send it to us in the post and we'll give you cash at a much reduced rate" and then seemingly disappeared.

Wonder if they've just rebranded themselves. Also on the VCC adverts, the woman who simperingly goes "does she need the toilet?" when the dog starts barking can get to fuck as well.

The brat in the stair lift ad ‘I can’t sleep without bunny’
Yes you can.

Tesco whoosh winds me right up.
The whole point is that it’s fast, so why has that man settled into his hot tub with a face mask on when he knows someone’s about to come to the door?
Why is that woman with the pigtails all dressed up as if she’s about to do karate, only to scream, punch the air, and act an absolute fool in the vague direction of a dummy?

Surely it’d be better to show normal people using it (like a harassed mum carrying a baby with a toddler hanging off her, looking in the fridge and realising she’s got no milk for her tea) than whatever the unrelatable fuck is going on in those ads.

One got stuck in my head yday, a song about indigestion, and really pissed me off for hours. The only live tv i watch is sports though so it's mainly betting ads and the like which I dislike but don't find annoying.

The full body deodorant ones, nothing beats sitting in the cinema waiting for your film for an advertisement about deodorant for a man’s balls, grim

The slip on Skechers adverts

Whoosh is a complete rip off, they get the groceries from express shops which are horribly overpriced to begin with then turbocharge you for delivery.

The poonami one! Prevents leaks so you all get a nights sleep, apart from the baby I assume who’s lying in its own filth all night! Clearly never understood what the problem is, leaky nappy means light on, clothes change, bed changes and probably a run under the tap not just containing it till morning. Drives me crazy every time.

Peptomismol
charity adverts, pretty much all of them
sanitary or pants ones
find the haribo creepy

It’s not a rip-off, it’s a choice.

No-one is forcing you to buy your groceries from Whoosh or Just Eat. You pay (heavily) for the convenience.

Don’t want it? Don’t buy it.
