Annoying adverts

The Rightmove one where wifey keeps saying Graham in a plaintiff voice, poor devil totally at her beck and call, even when they move.

Plaintive !,

I am the shame as Glorybee we hit the mute button. My husband watches the discovery channel and the adverts on there last so long and they last so long there is time to make a cup of tea.

I get a regular ad. on my iPad game, for some sort of gin. Philip Schofield is the presenter and it makes my skin crawl the way he simpers at the camera. I’ve complained to the manufacturers and I haven’t seen it for a while. Perhaps that’s the answer - complain. Mind you, they sometimes say ‘if you can remember the ad it’s doing its job’!

These comments about adverts has cheered me up no end. Thanks ladies! ?

There's a channel (can't remember which, channel 4 or 5 maybe) that I might want to watch in the afternoon - until the adverts come on.

They are 'targeted' for the average viewer, who, it seems, has a leaky bladder, vaginal dryness, can't get up stairs or into a bath, frets about her family paying for her funeral - yet still wants to go on a cruise!

Lucky me. all the TV I watch is stored on my Virgin "box" so I can whizz happily through the ads. Don't think I miss much!

To turn the topic on its head, which old ads do you remember most happily-early ones like Murray mints, don't forget the TV times, Esso blue (boom boom boom boom) or later ones. of which my favourite was Arkwright's dog for John Smiths ale?

Hetty

The ones that advertise credit cards for people with bad credit with horrendous interest rates, its wrong that they are trying to get people who have financial difficulties to get into more debt and make it sound like a good idea.

Perf with Surf is definitely the most irritating at the moment. I get really annoyed by the 'pretty' incontinence underwear. It is NOT normal to suffer from this after childbirth. The latest Tampax ad telling you exactly how to insert the tampon seems a bit too much information. I can imagine some weird guys watching this one over and over again!!

Lots of irritating ones but for me the worst is the Aviva one where the woman is asking about the door lock

I agree with the posts regarding bingo and gambling. I've written to itv in disgust at these. This advertising has been increasing at quite a pace and is very worrying. Tobacco advertising was banned when it was proved to be unhealthy. Isn't it time gaming was seen for what it is: it preys on vulnerable people and ruins families.

Hate that American ee guy, ever since doing a survey years ago about the so called proposed benefits about smart phones, the whole idea of having all my movements tracked has filled me with horror, so I've never had a smart phone. Now it seems we all may have to have tracking apps if we want to leave the house again.

At the moment it's the Bird's Eye one getting in on the current situation. Like a few fish fingers and frozen peas are going to be the difference between getting through this pandemic or not.

Agree with all these posts about all these cringeworthy ads. Tbey are pathetic and creepy and should be banned !

Not a fan of any ads, but I do like the ones with Harry Redknapp "'ear Sarn 'ave ya seen my bow tie. and Sarn 'addock or cod? etc.

I hate the one where a woman is bemoaning the fact that after having her baby, she pees herself - but because of these wonderful black pants, she doesn’t mind one bit! Try some pelvis floor exercises - they might help you get back to your former self! There was another advert where several women were talking about peeing themselves - all trying to convince you it is “the norm” for the majority of women. I find these ads both embarrassing and degrading - I notice they don’t advertise Tena Men pads............ and as for that idiot leaping around just because he took a pill and managed to “perform” - I can’t listen to that song now without thinking of that advert! I liked the one where the old chap dropped his “blue pill” down the sink and somehow it ended up in the car’s engine!! So funny.

Did somebody say "Just Eeeeet" in a shrill piercing voice. I usually watch either BBC channels or progs I've recorded on the Sky box so I can just fast forward through the ads. But I don't mind any ad with cats in them like Dreamies with the creepy man and the teabag one with cat and dog (PG Tips?)

It's easier to say the advert I DO like- yes there is one. The little girl who gets the £1 coin from trolley but has to give it back to Dad in the car. I love her facial expressions.
Other than that the Perf Surf, Viagra & Tena Lady are just examples of the rubbish they inflict on us. I tend to watch commercial TV on record so I can wizz past the ads.

Ooops... pelvic floor exercises

Oh yes- the Just Eat one should be banned immediately! What rubbish- learn to cook!!!!!

I'm sick of the BBC advertising their own programmes or podcasts etc in between all of their programmes. Especially bloomin George "what does it take for the word to be heard" gggrrrrrr Also they show to much of upcoming programmes that I'll be watching but don't want to know the details of in case they spoil it.

I to ask sick of life insurance, health insurance and funeral cover adverts.

Hetty, that made me laugh!

Northernandproud - totally agree about borrowing money - the credit card ads - and would include Carol Vorderman's equity release ads

The advert for bold washing powder.. so cheesy! And slaughtering Spandau Ballet’s finest at the same time! ?
