The wowcher one with the woman who has bright orange hair, who’s always overacting and being ridiculous. “Oh look, I just got sprayed by a shower head, hahaha aren’t I funny” no you’re not. And “how do I keep my mouth healthy” woman. If she’s reached adulthood without seemingly knowing about teeth cleaning or going to the dentist, you’d expect her to have absolutely minging teeth. Nope, they’re pearly white. It just doesn’t make any sense.

@BadgeronaMoped

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
This advert bugs me

Keep your mouth shut, then I won’t be tempted to smack it.

There, I feel better, thanks

The one where the home care assistant turns up at the front door and immediately starts unbuttoning the the elderly gentleman's pyjamas Angry

I've no idea what the company/product is called, because I always fast-forward through it Wink

TheRattleBag · 13/01/2021 14:59

Hopefully won't be subject to it any more (as we're in January), but the Sky TV one where Idris Elba tried to sing ("On the days after christmas we like to watch moveeeees").

He's not a great singer, and the drawn out "moveeeees" just makes me cringe.

Ditto the Matt Berry "Money Supermaaaahhhhket" tagline.

Just no.

Blubbergalore · 13/01/2021 15:07

The one for some incontinence product where the woman says she “can be protected and pretty”!

NoisyBrain · 13/01/2021 15:19

“Oooooon the mar-ket”

Borisjohnsonshairbrush · 13/01/2021 15:29

Any stupid poetic/narrated ad about strange times followed by families and friends having banter over a webcam. The narrators always have a Yorkshire accent too.

Same shit different ad.

TheBuffster · 15/01/2021 16:42

The how can I keep my mouth healthy is a particular annoyance.
It makes DH and I forget all about feminism and suggest really inappropriate lines from the dentist on what she can do with it/put in it.

TheBuffster · 15/01/2021 16:44

Oh and that one about loyalty being turning grans plastic bag inside out.

That's not loyalty. She's been disloyal shopping elsewhere.
Now she's just being weirdly sneaky.

SomewhatBored · 15/01/2021 17:08

That one where someone is trying to persuade a woman on a Zoom call to remove her background and she doesn't want to because her house is badly decorated or something. The groaning/whining noise she makes sounds exactly like the noise my dog made when he dropped dead, so I have to mute it because it upsets me.

nitgel · 15/01/2021 17:09

the one with the secret 'in her pants'

WeeDangerousSpike · 15/01/2021 17:15

The andrex one with close ups of people's arses while they do squats, and something about 'what clean means' or something. Boak.
I see the oral b one has cut out 'I didn't know oral B made toothpaste!' which has reduced its irritatingness by about 100000%. So now it's just very irritating instead of murder inducing...

Borisjohnsonshairbrush · 15/01/2021 17:45

Postcode fucking lottery.

Holothane · 15/01/2021 17:52

All of them.

PandemicPalava · 15/01/2021 17:53

I don't like surprise horrific charity adverts. I suppose it's the same reason I struggle with Facebook sometimes as things just pop up and punch you in the gut. I support charities, I'm very involved with a couple of charities and have been for many years but they are so emotive and when they pop up during daytime TV it's hard

ShizeItsWeegie · 15/01/2021 17:55

All of them and most TV programs too. Even newscasters speak to us as if we are four. Fake enthusiam. Fake surprise. Pretending to be thick. Greg Wallace. Anything aimed at women that is covered in sparkly shite assuming we are dumb idiot bimbo women. Cartoon aimed at adults. The tiny woman standing in the giant mouth type stuff. Who are these things aimed at FFS?

I record everything I want to watch (which is not much) and FF through the ads. Even weather forecasters try and sex it all up. It's all totally insane. Telly is hell nowadays.

CaptainMyCaptain · 16/01/2021 13:52

The one with gravy on a burger actually makes me feel sick.

bluecheesefan · 16/01/2021 13:55

The majority of car adverts.

It suddenly dawned on me yesterday evening that more often than not, ads for small cars have women drivers, and adverts for big 'executive' type cars are driven by men.

Yes, that one is truly disgusting. DH actually has to look away when it comes on.
JustDanceAddict · 16/01/2021 17:58

‘I wet myself’
DS (16) absolutely pissed himself laughing over that one. 😆 then him and dh start asking me if I’m incontinent. Er, I have never leaked urine in my life (apart from in a trampoline!).
And the jab snd go gives me the rage.

Cherrypie32 · 16/01/2021 20:45

Rylan telling that man he should have had the snip ✂️

I can't stop thinking it looks like toffee sauce not gravy! Envy

Cheeseandlobster · 19/01/2021 00:06

The Nintendo Switch one where the family move home and the lazy ass daughter just lies on the sofa directing rather than helping.

The old peloton one with the selfish cow using her bike in the bedroom at dawn while her partner is asleep. And the Amazon one with the spoilt cow kicking a football in the garden at 4am. What does the mum do. She puts the security lights on ffs.

And all the over 50's life plan ones. Just fuck off

Cheeseandlobster · 19/01/2021 00:09

Oh and the previous Nationwide advert with the annoying woman with the message to her post lockdown self. "I see you have put on weight. I hope you are on top of that" Aarrggh

augustusglupe · 19/01/2021 01:16

God yes, the 'secret in my pants' Hmm

And postcode lottery.
