Adverts that really irritate you

[JoshandJamie]

I hate that Venus razor ad. 'Reveal the goddess in you'. 'Feel like a goddess everytime you shave'. I almost so clearly see what their creative brainstorm was like:

'So people, what does shaving mean to a woman?'
'Well shaving makes women look better and...oooh....feel better.'
'Yes, they feel so great they feel like a goddess.'
'God yes, that's it, reveal the goddess in you. By george, I think we've got it.'

How about:
'Sick of looking like a hedgehog? Shave with our razor. It's comfy and because it's shaves nice and close, you won't need to do it again for several weeks. Thank god for that because who had time to shave their legs anyway?'

Any others?

Prefer your advert.

I hate razor adverts that state they have 8 billion [ish] blades or somthing.

Any washing clothes adverts...I've got pasta sauce stains on DS's white vests that don't go at 60 degrees let alone farking 30!

The constipation ones...its so un-British to bang on about our bowels isn't it!!

The one with the little boy on the toilet - revolting

Find the laxative one based on SATC highly dubious also

The price comparison one with smug irritating couple that says "we need to fly to Barcelona - as soon as possible!"

Also the marks and spencers food ads, breathy female voice going on and on -horrible.

the AA advert claiming "we're the 4th emergency service"

er no, actually the COASTGUARD is the official 4th emergency service after fire, police and ambulance.

may the marketing mogul who came up with that one be cast out on a lilo to the sharks....

I used to hate the roller skating bodyform woman and did she parachute as well? haven't seen them for a while so am not sure if thats valid sorry

and why oh why rant on about special K and not wanting to have your photo taken when frankly if I looked that good in a red swimsuit I'd be wandering about pissing down scotland in said red swimsuit regardless

and the infected toenail one makes me want to puke everytime

getting pretty fed up of the Pampers ad on the side of mumsnet now too ... enough already!! go away !!!

"erectile disfunction ? " with frisky relatively youngish couple heading for the bedroom shown at 9.30 on ITV1. Glad our 10yo didn't ask about that one !

Am I alone in finding the BUPA ad with the fallen robot really disturbing?

Every time it shuffles onscreen my brain goes through a set series of thoughts.

1. "That robot represents a small child like mine"

1. "That robot just fell over. It represents a child injuring itself"

1. List causes & effects of child falls, with reference to DS

-skinned knees -bruised head -tooth through lip ... -fractured spine -severe head injuries

1. "DAMN YOU, YOU EVIL AXA FUCKS! STOP MAKING ME THINK THESE THOUGHTS!"

1. Goto 1

Adblock!

Ooh bellabelly- that price-comparison one makes my teeth itch- it's the way she says "as Shoon as poshible!" AArgh!

Charlie Brooker on irritating adverts including that kid on the toilet.

What about Andie McDoodah in the L'oreal ads?
Well, of course you're going to have deepset wrinkles when you screw your face up like that!!!! Muppet!

The crunchynut cornflake ad where the woman scoffs them out of the box with milk in the car and THE MILK IS FAKE!!

I always feel sorry for Andie McWotsit - she started off doing young people's stuff and ended up hiding greys and fixing wrinkles.

Any one where they are brushing their teeth. Especially the mouthwash one where him and her peer into the sink to see all the gunk.

Olay one (I think) - some 'beauty' journalist trying to blind us with non-science ....somehow think that using big words makes it all okay ... grrr

Why did they sack Nadine Baggott (celebrity beauty editor)?

Oh the andie mcdowell one where she says 'I love you' and swishes towards a little plane. She is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wooden.

The annoying Davina McCall ads for hair dye

The weightwatchers one where they are all blathering on about how much BETTER the woman is since she lost weight and how much more her DH and her (manky) neighbour's DH fancy her now (where before she was a hideous old troll). Message - YOU ARE GROSS, JOIN US AND PEOPLE WILL LIKE YOU. Grrrr

the M&S food adverts - hate hate hate her voice "this is not just food, it's M&S food" NO! it is just food, food with a ridiculously high price tag, oh and stop talking as though you are whispering into a mans ear before dragging him to bed and stripping him naked....

The Weight-watchers one where the male neighbour now pervs at her and it only takes the beautician half the time to wax her ginormous massive tree-trunk legs.

I hate all the adverts for finance and loans. Especially that one where the woman was filming the man on the phone to the loan company.

Why would you do that? Why? WHY???

Halifax adverts in general but especially the one where they sing 'we are saving' ... can't get to the mute/channel button quick enough when that comes on!

one I've just seen today for a french car manufacturer that is horribly horribly dubbed- don't be so cheap! Make a new ad for the UK!

The Special K one where the woman feels she's obviously too fat to be seen in photos, when in fact she is bloody farking skinny to start with. Lovely message to send out. Any bigger than this woman is to start with and you must be bleedin' enormous. Just eat our cereal and you too can look no different in the after photos.

All of these, and especially Freckle's! I can't bear the confused dot com ones either- do they think we are morons?
