What TV adverts do you hate seeing?

[Lockdowner35]

I would you buy one you get one free

Perf with surf.

Perf with surf.

PERF WITH SURF!!

But also the online matters one where a bunch of adults sit around unable to decipher everyday Internet language and look genuinely astounded by what things mean.

It's not just the content of it, it's that it seems to be on every bloody ad break and I'm sick of seeing their astounded faces.

The narrators always have a Yorkshire accent too.

Yeah I've been noticing this. Lots of quiet, soft voices Yorkshire accents. I love Yorkshire accents but for some reason, this trend in advertising somehow comes off as patronising and irritating.

I studied language at uni and we looked at a study that showed that Yorkshire accents are amongst the most trusted, so I think that's why advertisers go for them. But they also script them as though the narrators are reading a bedtime story to children and it makes me so angry.

Especially the whispery, 'smart metre below the stairs' one. Sets my misophonia right off.

I don't see a lot of ads, thankfully, and mute the TV if forced to see them. They all look so boring, particularly car ads, someone driving around a random empty city - hard to believe people get paid for this. I'm sure ads used to be better, just the other day I was mashing potatoes and the old Smash Martian ads came to mind (and still funny).

That oral-b advert. And the one where the couple plug jigsaw shaped items into their mantelpiece, ending up with a TV from eBay (?).

I mute too. They are all too loud (and now I sound like my gran).

I hate the Cancer research ad= or rather, I hate the bit where the woman says defiantly "Cancer won't win. We WILL beat cancer." I don't know why, but she irritates the hell out of me.

The formula one, "breastmilk is best for babies...but if you choose to move on...". As if babies that ate breastfes past six months are somehow left behind!

That eBay jigsaw one has us diving to mute it. The singer sounds like Vic Reeves doing his club style

The EBay song that's half Girls just wanna have fun by Cyndi Lauper and half... who knows what but it's so IRRITATING

Whoops angry cross-post Bloodypunkrockers and TastyTicklemore

Yes, @BiggerBoat1, Habito is the one I was thinking of, but I couldn't remember the name of the company. It's a horribly graphic sort of animated horror thing about, possibly, mortgages? It's very unpleasant!

Re: “Bum, hips” woman - why does she have so many peppers in her fridge? About 10 of them and nothing else.
And June of the funeral plan ad annoys me with her jauntiness and unconvincing northern accent.
I also can’t bear any ad which is overly earnest/sentimental - in a “we’re in this together” sort of way. Banks are particularly bad at this.

"We've only just begunnnnnnn🎵"

Despise those simpering breathy rip off songs!!! When that one comes on I'm scrabbling for the remote to mute. But if DH has got it he blasts it up to wind me up

All of them! I record everything so I can fast forward past the adverts.

I hate that adverts try to pull on your heart strings about our new normal then bluntly say at the end “buy a Volvo/ this toothpaste/ this toothpaste” and it will all be better.
Twats.
A lot of holiday companies trying to secure deposits at the moment with a very uncertain summer ahead. I see why they’re doing it but I also think a lot of poor people aren’t going to read the (newly written in light of Corona) small print and will be very disappointed.

It's just a trickle.. The incontinence pad adverts where women talk about when they laugh they pee....They should not normalize things like this no women should think it's ok to need an incontinence pad 24/7.
Ads like this should encourage women to seek medical help not put up with a problem like this because its seen as part of getting older so just wear a pad all the time like that's the answer.

The clicky fingers on most incontinence pad adverts gives me the rage

I just realised I hate most of the adverts by reading this thread ! Why do they have to be so patronising ?

I want to shoot the guy in the ASDA ad, and I don't have a gun.
I also want to shoot for crimes against the viewing public for the barefaced cheek of it all and no particular order :-

Kevin bloody Bacon
Carol Vorderman (good grief,, really ?)
Philip Schofield
Nadiya Sawalhaa
The bladder leak women (all of them)
Peleton

That smarmy twat on the Vanish ad
All those old twerps selling funeral plans and equity release
Barry Scott
Any gambling adverts
The creeping jesus woman on the available car advert with the squeaky voice and the dodgy walk.. where do they find these people ?
And the daft TV doctor guy who winks at you and says 'sleep well at furniture village'
For God's sake

Perf with Surf ... that woman drives me mad. I mute the TV immediately and won't buy Surf on principle now.

The advert that sponsors Emmerdale with the frantic piano playing......

@TheMarzipanDildo

Pretty knickers incontinence woman kills me. She says ‘pretty’ very strangely.

Bums hips toothpaste advert.

That bizarre one with Rita Ora.

Yes! The way she says pretty. It totally gives me inner rage.

Turkish Airlines advert-can't really say why it annoys me so much but its sort of twee rather then quirky.

It reminds me of the short segments before each entry on the Eurovision Song Contest. You know the bit where Terry Wogan/Graham Norton/etc used to announce the name and some blurb about the artist.

Whole-heartedly agree with most of the other adverts already mentioned on here though

gala bingo ad where she plays the guitar with her toes. Yuck.

"You gotta get them up there girls" for tampons!!!

But love, love, love the AA breakdown service advert with the dog who puts a record on the player in his living room then switches the fan on to get the feeling of fresh air in his face.

My current favourite by miles
