Annoying adverts

What about that ad for vaginosis. I particularly like the subtle inflated balloons hanging above her head. You know the puffy bright red shiny balloons meant to look like the parts that suffer the smelly infection. (Not). I mean do these people go out and get drunk/high at lunchtime to come up with these cringing adverts. Mind you I suppose you’d have to be under the influence in order to have to make up adverts for some of these products any way.

I do wonder why women get targeted the most for the ‘embarrassing’ adverts ! What about the men’s little problems- don’t any of them have bladder leaks??

I can't stand the British Gas ad. Do we have to see someone sitting on the loo doing a pregnancy test? What's that got to do with the gas going off? All the incontinence ads as already highlighted for the same reasons, the one with June's father with a glut of parsnips and anything with Alan Titchmarsh in.

I remember when the AIDS epidemic was all in the news and it was advertising safe sex using condoms. At the time Aids was predominantly killing homosexual men but to try and get across about safe sex they used women in the advert. Women were shown looking and behaving normal in a bar and the slogan was does she look like she has HIV to you? Do you practice safe sex? The advertising didn’t want to use men as it was deemed offensive and would create discrimination. Until women all complain and not buy these products things will not change. My grandson thinks ladies wet themselves and smell down there! Ebay advertised personal products saying to remove the disgusting smells!?

The funeral insurance ones and the ones for Tena and Andrex pads. At one time there used to be only one or two ads between programmes now there are sometimes ten. I try record the programmes then I can fast forward when watching. Hour programmes are cut to forty minutes or less.

Adds I hate : perfume adds well what would you do for love
Tener lady
Vagasil why do they air it a 5.00 in the afternoon
Sun life
Far more but I can't think of any at the moment
Stay safe folks

Oh dear! I'm now thankful that I've never seen those ads mentioned on here, only the Meerkats ones (which I skip past) on Ch4.
I hardly watch TV, preferring my phone or tablet so I mostly watch YouTube or iPlayer.

What am I missing? Thanks for all the laughs. I never watch any of them as I record everything and fast forward the ads.

The flash one with Dave dancing around the kitchen then by magic it’s sparkles.
That the only one I can think off as I very rarely watch tv.

I watch a lot of telly, so the remote control is always within reach and my finger permanently hovering over the mute button.

The new Tampax one is awful!

I agree with most of those already mentioned but one of my old time favourites was Cadbury Fingers with Harry the Spiders coming out party.

Those" pretty" ,( awful) black incontinence knickers.
Any of the dubbed American adverts for teeth etc.
I also hate the people with constipation and heartburn who should maybe check their diets and not eat too late.

So many are irritating so we also record and view so we can fast forward. There are too many. In one ad break during the Agatha Christie last night, I counted ten different products! We thought they were never going to end. So pleased we had recorded it.

I mute all the adverts to keep sane ?

Anything about funeral plans. So many. Especially the one where Mary pops in and mentions Parky. Every time the old guy says “Hello Mary” we say something far less welcoming. Terrible scripts and acting, too. Still, they’re probably written by someone on work experience - and no doubt the actors are pitched in with no rehearsal. They have to eat like the rest of us.

This thread has given me a much needed laugh. Thank you ladies.
For the record the ones I hate the most are as follows.
Tampax - far too much unnessecary detail.
Oral B - when it comes on I want to reach through the screen and slap the silly woman on it.
Viagra- that bloke looks so smug, I want to slap him as well.
We buy any car-Philip Schofield grinning like an idiot.
But my most unfavourite one is the perf with surf advert. It has actually put me right off buying it!

As a retired physio who did a lot of maternity work the Tena ones make my blood boil! It's not normal to leak after you've had a baby and if you'd been able to see a physio or gone to an ante-natal class and had some instruction you know that and know how to correct it!

The meerkats are annoying and all those ads for funeral plans with the cringe making 'conversations' (does anyone really have conversations like that???) that pop up in the afternoon!

Anything to do with bodily functions. Yuk.
Haribo with the silly voices.
Funeral plans.
Bingo/gambling.

The ad for tena lady black pants showing the woman who has just had a baby. They are NOT that attractive!!!

For me it's the Tombola ads that suggest playing online bingo is a sociable, fun, party thing to do when, in fact, it's people sitting at home hunched over a phone or computer throwing good money after bad. They also sent me a totally unsolicited communication through the post this week, addressed to me by name! Who sold them my details? ???

Lol I'm glad I started this now. Seems like you all needed to get this off your chest. Gave me a good laugh though.

Haribo as makes me cringe (but I remember what's being sold) whereas I like the supermarket coin girl ad (but don't remember what it's selling) !

I'm extremely annoyed about all the betting and bingo adverts there seem to be at the moment.
Are these sharks trying to get people hooked on gambling in these troubled times?

That stupid woman in the gym who knows how to keep her body and mind healthy but hasn't a clue how to keep her mouth healthy. For goodness sake! Has she never heard of toothpaste.
Dont get me started on the afternoon adverts for life assurance, funerals etc. They are unreal - literally.
