So many!

All the food box ones, fairy liquid , just eat with the rapper, the one with the stupid woman who had to ask her dentist about toothpaste, kinder egg, the one with the family who spend all day in the parents bed watching tv with the dog, daytime tv ones about funeral costs.....

I mute them all except for the pukka tea advert for their night time tea, I find the advert so soothing I would watch it on a loop as a way to get to sleep. Also I love the duvet cover featured on it.....

The lame donkeys carrying piles of bricks is like a horror film. Also the one with the baby bear being torn away from its mother. The thin, trembling neglected dogs and the babies with flies in their eyes and facial deformities. Sad

At The Beach. Pretending it's all ok and just look at all this lovely holiday fun on the beach. No it's not. It's heartbreaking.

Caspah · 10/01/2021 21:12

Every day-time one. I mute, but that also makes me feel guilty. However I get a slight bit of entertainment out of those people gleefully passing on a funeral plan to the next person, and so it goes on, from one person to another. I always entertain my friends like that (probably why I haven't got any).

The 3 dancing frogs one!!! Hate it!

Am not keen on the Ryanair "Jab and Go" ad either.

One I never get tired of and love is the wine ad where they pretend to go downstairs to their non existent wine cellars.

oohyoudevilyou · 11/01/2021 13:22

Those fucking LoveHoney ones...always on around bedtime. After home schooling the kids, working from home and running errands etc for 2 sets of elderly parents, I barely have the energy to "do" DH in a quick and vanilla manner without those adverts giving him ideas for something more exciting Sad

BadgeronaMoped · 11/01/2021 13:25

The "Bum! HIPS! I know how to keep my body healthy, but how do I keep my mouth healthy?" one. Also, any toothpaste advert where the person licks their teeth at the end Angry

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 11/01/2021 13:26

As a pp has already mentioned the Ryanair one that says now we have the vaccines we can all swan off to far-flung places again. Totally premature and irresponsible. And stupid.

Elouera · 11/01/2021 13:32

Go compare one where the guy is promoting his opera skills of lack their of

When the advert is clearly being dubbed in another language very badly and out of sync- there is washing machine one currently

That bank advert where the girl says 'over DER phone'!!! Angry

fireearthwaterair · 11/01/2021 13:33

Agree with ‘But how do I keep my MOUTH healthy?!!’

Yamayo · 11/01/2021 13:37

I am weirdly fascinated by the dancing frogs.

Imagine the pitch.

So. We're selling some kind of credit money rating thingie.
Let's get some sexy frogs to dance to Kylie. Sorted.

BitOfFun · 11/01/2021 13:39

I pretty much hate all the daytime ones, and I have a special loathing for the ones that imply incontinence is a completely normal part of being female.

An advert I love though is the (NatWest?) one with the girl in the supermarket carpark getting the £1 coin out of the trolley. She's amazing!

BrimfulOfBaba · 11/01/2021 13:43

Any advert with spoken word poetry, especially if they're full of platitudes about "these trying times". They feel so smug and self congratulatory.

Also agreed with BUM....HIPS!

Housewife2010 · 11/01/2021 13:45

All the Charlotte Tilbury ones with her cringey voiceover. Particular mention must go to the CT Magic Cream one with the terrible poem which she reads. I like the makeup but all the advertising seems to take beautiful women and turn them into laminated blow up dolls.

Talisin · 11/01/2021 13:52

I’d be prepared to put up with all other annoying ones if we could just get rid of ‘but how do I keep my MOUTH healthy’ woman. If I could kill her and get away with it I quite happily would at this stage.

PopsicleHustler · 11/01/2021 14:12

All of them. Adverts are so sexual these days

Twerking once toothpaste ad.
Grinding on a bus for a rent a car ad.
Topless men for a blloody yogurt advert.

When adverts come on, we turn off or turn over.

Those frogs are made to look sexy.

Frogs can NEVER be sexy! Smile

I so agree! That little girl is fab.

wowfudge · 11/01/2021 15:29

Yes - the Oral B toothpaste ad wins these threads every time. I can't stand the Haribo ads with grown adults sounding like small children. Not funny at all.

TeenyTinyDustinHoffman · 11/01/2021 15:36

The Asda ones with the annoying, overly earnest man and his tribe of children. It started with just two daughters in the first add. By Christmas he seemed to have about five. In the latest there's only one little boy who I'm pretty sure wasn't in the previous advert. Is he just stealing kids?

And the NatWest? Halifax? ones with the smug little poems that have absolutely no connection to banking.

DeepfriedPizza · 11/01/2021 15:39

I absolutely hate the Asda one. We have been watching 4 on demand and there's an Asda advert on nearly every break.

Also the one where they are sitting about drinking tea and their pinky fingers get longer and longer. Hate it

oldperson1 · 11/01/2021 16:10

Lifebouy bacterial soap one , showing cartoon of someone picking their nose and the results.
Love the young girl on Nat West too
All the Charity ones and all the celebrities telling me to get life insurance and equity,
Funeral plans in the afternoon especially June’s neighbor and his bloody parsnips.

catlovingdoctor · 11/01/2021 16:11

The wowcher ones- that song makes me want to smash the TV up!

GCAcademic · 11/01/2021 16:13

Every perfume ad ever made. The run-up to Christmas is intolerable.

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 11/01/2021 17:00

The Asda ones are bloody awful. That bloke has such an annoying voice.

I think the ad has stopped now but when I was binge watching on All4 I got the same ad over and over. ‘We’re doing double shifts at double speeeeds and to the virus we will not conceeeeede.’ I though the coop couldn’t do any worse than the two brothers busking and they managed it. I had to mute it every time but the woman still stares at the camera in the most annoying way. They need to make a law against ads with shit poetry.

I quite like the Lovehoney one because of the hot gay guys in glasses. But I don’t like the terrible fake orgasm faces. There’s one woman who is really overdoing it.
