What drives you mad about adverts?

Well Mollygo in answer to your question……it is almost certainly not her.
With her pale blue top that “happens” to match the Fairy products being advertised and her (no doubt) immaculate dainty hands ??there is no chance that this women is going to get down and dirty or up rather .. in this case, and wield the dishcloth or mess up her perfectly tamed locks by scooping it all up into a scrunchy
Jealous who Me!

We will have to agree to disagree on that one I simply can't stand them ... I even put it on mute can not stand the voices ! ARGH ! Even young children don't speak like that !

I get annoyed at the ones that I can't work out what they're selling.

My favourites are the Check A Trader ones with Julius Caesar - I love the sly digs at the treacherous Brutus, and in the last one I saw JC said "Thank you" in Latin to a neighbour.

Classy.

I love the Haribo ones.

They’re mostly so boring, or else ridiculous - car and perfume ads are IMO the most ridiculous/ludicrous/both.

Oh for the days of genuinely funny ads - the Boddington’s ones come to mind (still there on YouTube) - and some Batchelors noodle one IIRC, where the two blokes are moaning about disgusting girlfriends using their razors and leaving hairy bits in the washbasin - while licking their plates clean before putting them back in the cupboard! ?

But like so many of us, I usually record and zoom through them now.

That they are so infantile.
It never ceases to amaze me that puppet meerkats make grown people all gooey eyed.

??? I need cupboards to shut the doors on shelves bursting with crap I keep shoving in, instead of clearing them out and donating the unwanted crap ?

I despise adverts so never watch them! If I want to watch a programme on a commercial channel I simply record it. I can then watch it and fast toward through the adverts

Who dusts all those shelves and the pots and dishes on them?
