IRRITATING ADS

Derek and June flogging insurance. The really creepy elderly man dancing and then falling asleep in his chair. I assume it's a recliner ad. Verisure couples instantly getting an alarm. Any adv with Philip Scofield. The awful family on holiday which is supposed to be a pastiche of Matilda. Actually, there are very few which I find witty. Definitely a grumpy old woman ?

A friend of mine had a very bad experience with Macmillan, MissAdventure. A very brisk, no-nonsense sort of doctor (female) who’d never met her before, called to see her when she was all alone, and told her in very blunt words that she was going to die, and did she want to die at home, in hospital, or in a hospice?

Yes, my friend did die, but she was always a fighter who needed to cling on to some sort of hope. So me that was both cruel and brutally insensitive.

I dare say it’s unfair of me, since it was years ago now, but I’ve never supported them since, though I do support a similar charity.

I have to say I hate the Macmillan ones.
False advertising in our case (though I know others have had better experiences)

What idiot thought up the Lloyds bank beside your side tag line. Don’t they realise they’ve shut all the branches! ??

The bed one with whiny Welsh shrieking commentary, it’s ear grating and as far from a relaxing bedtime that you can get. It’s such a shame as the Welsh accent is usually musical and beautiful.

Oh that donkey one!
It really upsets me too.

The Dior Perfume one - when the model turns to camera and quite aggressively says: What would you do for love???

Eamonn and Ruth advertising some kind of foot exerciser.

The Donkey Sanctuary one, where it shows really badly abused donkeys working the land in some faraway undeveloped country - it's a brilliant cause, but upsets me every time I see it.

Any adverts where children have appalling table manners IMO

Any Bank adverts, they have all left our town ☹️

Bring back the old ads like Leonard Rossiter throwing Cinzano over Joan Collins.

The buy-your-car-this-way one, with the bloke who looks like Beelzebub and can’t say his Ts.

And a lot of others, Daisy sodding Daisy in particular.

All of them - because they unfailingly feature a mixed race family with a white woman and black man and indeterminate children.

That stupid thing where the donkey climbs on the woman's back. What's that about.

Any ad featuring Debbie McGee she is unbearable.

Another vote for Verisure Alarms - seems to be a whole series of them written by struggling scriptwriters.

I hate that 'Where is the sun' one too, although I think the bloke has quite a good voice. In fact I hate all fabric conditioner ads. And cremation ads. And anything with Philip S in.

And any ad that is aimed at people with 0 brain cells - which is most of them.

Bring back Smash is all I can say.

The fabric softener ads where some woman goes into raptures sniffing the stuff.
The direct cremation ones, especially the grinning girl obviously having a party on her mother's insurance money which has been saved by having her poor mother just thrown onto the fire.

Ooh I've read the op wrong.
In that case, then, I really dislike the meerkats ad.
Ugly little perishers.

Any advert by overpaid celebrities which try to convince the older generation to part with their hard earned cash for funeral plans, equity release plans and foot exercise machines. Eamonn Holmes and Carole Vorderman are the main culprits.

Presumably their tv careers are on a downward turn when they have to crop up so often on these annoying adverts plugging overpriced crap.

Claudia Winkleman shampoo ads with her impossibly glossy locks. Anything with Philip Schofield or Rylan whatsisface in. Aaaaaagh!!!!

I'm not sure if it's my phone or the ads, but I'm getting a frozen screen again when the ads move around.

Verisure alarms, where the fully liveried up chap Jack introduces himself to the dopey householder and chucks in ‘thats awful’ in a monotone when told a neighbour has been burgled. It’s really getting on my pips now as they must sponsor one of the late night programmes I watch.

My absolute worst advert that drives me totally nuts is the Marc Jacobs and those women saying Daisy,Daisy,Daisy… drives me bonkers. Also anything with Carol Vorderman in ??

I have seen that where is the sun ad, it is awful as is go compare. I cannot watch ITV2 as the Kayak ad seems to be played before most programmes.

Like Grannysyb above, the woman who does the radio ads for Vodafone. She has a really annoying voice. Also all of the adds for "Motorway"....."the drive you mad way", lol!

Can't cope with the one where adult males have young childrens' baby voices. I think it's for sweets. Ugh!

Bl..dy Phillip Schofield on the radio for we buy any car, can't stand him. Also on the radio squeaky shrieky voiced woman for Vodafone. We always mute the TV ads, so not so bothered by them.

I don’t watch adverts. I record any programmes on commercial channels which I want to watch. When I play them back I fast forward the adverts.
