The Costa ad with the shiny trousers makes me feel a bit queasy, I have to look away every time it's on.
The slow zoom out shot, the shininess (bordering on slimy) of the trousers, the lascivious tone of the voiceover...
And nothing to do with the product.

There was a shouty one about replacement windows. I had to turn the tv off.

I can't remember which company but it made me cringe. Thankfully the man who did my windows was quiet and calm.

An old one still winds me up, it’s Victoria Plum and one of their first adverts where two annoying kids in the bath saying “at Victoria Plum” in the most screeching voice. Guess they where related to the owner but years later it’s still like nails on a chalk board to me

Tampax ads , I do not want effing Tampax ads on before my Neighbours fix at lunchtime. OTOH love the Warburtons ad with George Clooney which has two big pluses , George and humour.

There's a new diet coke one with a really annoying catchy song, and then weird clips like people dancing in a bowling alley and a man in sunglasses and hair rollers.

dontforgettofloss · 03/06/2021 08:48

The peleton one, "you're done and dusted just like that", and the little "whew" sound the woman makes

Letsgetreadytocrumble · 03/06/2021 08:50

The Peloton one - but I think that might be because it's on all the time!

'Here for it Ben' - fuck off

KFC - the man sucking each of his fingers. Yuck.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 03/06/2021 08:59

There's a cartoon mortgage company one where the woman is being viciously stung by wasps and gets huge pus filled boils. I was wtf when I saw it.

stillcrazyafterall · 03/06/2021 08:59

Every single perfume ad. You can't smell it so what is the fucking point? Oh, hang on, if I just wear it (even if it smells like shit) I will go from a fat, grey 60+ woman to a nubile babe ? Yeah, ok then. Hmm

awaynboilyurheid · 03/06/2021 09:01

The one where the woman says Your on mute Paula! Drove us all mad in lockdown because it was on every two minutes and her voice was so grating!

Chemenger · 03/06/2021 09:03

The Aviva one where a young woman gets in her car, drives to the middle of nowhere, mysteriously ages 40 years and hugs some children. What on earth is it meant to mean?

cariadlet · 03/06/2021 09:07

I hate gambing ads and bingo ads. I think they should be banned, like ads for cigarettes. Don't make gambling illegal but don't promote it.

Haribo ads with those stupid baby voices.

Perfume ads. Always pretentious.

Bank adverts. Don't try and sell me an image. Definitely don't try to pretend you care about me (although I'm a bit more tolerant of building societies doing this than I am of banks). I just need to know your interest rates.

Car adverts. Again, just selling an image instead of actually telling you anything about the car.

SedentaryCat · 03/06/2021 09:16

The mini-cheddars one 'cheddar town, cheddar town...etc. Haven't seen it for a week or two so wonder if it was pulled due to being too irritating?

The LV one 'dum diddy dum diddy dum' one.

Anything for the older viewer - those HSL chairs/walk in bath, etc. Slightly patronising.

Pinuporc · 03/06/2021 09:20

Not sure if it’s still on but the tampax “get ‘em up there, girls!!” one is dreadful.

It is, I saw it the other day.

Sorrento2014 · 03/06/2021 09:25

Euurrgh hate the Tampax one, also the car one with Rylan (sp?) talking about the dad getting the snip ffs!

Bank adverts. Don't try and sell me an image. Definitely don't try to pretend you care about me (although I'm a bit more tolerant of building societies doing this than I am of banks). I just need to know your interest rates.

OMG 100% this.
"We're on your side" crap, making it sound like everyone has a personal bank manager who will hold their hand, and help them with mortgages, loans, business advice etc!
IRL Every time you go into the bank, (when it is open about 3 hours a week) they treat you like an enormous nuisance and tell you its quicker and easier to do everything online.(most things, I agree are, but most people dont go to the bank just for fun!)
The other day my DH went to the bank to withdraw a few hundred £
The cashier said did he know he could use the app to book a cash withdrawal of up to 1k from a cash machine. a) its v rare that he actually needs to get that sort of cash out and b) who on earth would want to take out 1k in full view of people in the street!!Confused

Sorry slightly off topic !Blush

TheWeeDonkey · 03/06/2021 09:29

The stupid Oral B woman Bums!!! Hips!!! Fuck off
The Asda dickhead
The secret pissing in my pants adverts
All gambling and bingo adverts
I try to avoid adverts as much as possible.

Twinkie01 · 03/06/2021 09:29

The Dove ones before any show I want to watch.

paintedpanda · 03/06/2021 09:30

John Lewis Christmas adverts.
Heart-wrenching advert to sell one (overpriced) mundane item that can be purchased anywhere (pair of gloves, penguin teddy, alarm clock etc) but it's vastly superior because it's from John Lewis.

LunaNorth · 03/06/2021 09:39

Postcode Lottery - ‘someone’s knocking at the door, somebody’s ringing the bell’ - do us a favour and fuck off.

The policemen talking in baby voices flogging Haribo. Fuck off, creepy as hell.

Claudia Winkelman cracking on that she uses Head and Shoulders. Yeah, course you do. Fuck off.

That woman in bed with a massive M and M - ‘now the biting makes sense.’ Weird. Fuck off.

VeganVeal · 03/06/2021 13:29

The hello fresh ad at the end with a small boy with long hair and a smug look on this face as he shovels some food in. I just want to punch him in the face, smarmy git

HasaDigaEebowai · 03/06/2021 13:30

I don't watch many adverts but the marc jacobs "daisy" ones all give me the creeps.

ElizabethTudor · 03/06/2021 13:31

@kiksta

Anything with Philip Schofield
This - him in the We buy any car ones. Just so bloody cringey. Where’s your self-respect fella.
