It’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard on television….a new low 😩

It's foul isn't it? Another is the one for some milk or another with a farmer sitting on a fence and 'singing' out of tune about 'feel good...' or something, probably inspired by the Go Compare ad. All are awful, but especially the 1st 2

The Pot Noodle advert gets on my wick too angry
Oddly enough, the Boots advert where the little girl is seen sucking the chocolate off maltezer type chocolates and putting them on a plate from which another bloke eats them thinking they're buffet snacks made me WANT a pack of Maltezers confused

I mute this ad too but the ad I detest most at the moment is the Currys ad where the customer spits/sprays his drink over the face of the shop assistant. Yuk!

I’m now remembering why we usually record commercial stations and fast forward through the breaks. Apart from the fact that it only takes 45 minutes to watch an hour long programme.

I did not know who was doing the voiceover for Wren kitchens but on a point of principle, I would not now ever buy one. It is ghastly. Is this not the woman who is supposed to be taking over at Battersea from the lovely Paul O'Grady? Another programme which I always enjoyed, which I will now have to miss.

I thought it was just me - glad others find it offensive too! I have to rush to the mute button!

MamaSB Thu 29-Feb-24 15:15:51

I hate it, it's disgusting. In fact, there are quite a few ads I find offensive lately, far too many to list.

Summerfly Thu 29-Feb-24 15:22:00

Yes, it’s disgusting 🤢

JamesandJon33 Thu 29-Feb-24 15:50:44

I don’t like the one with the man wrestling a huge floppy fish either

Kim19 I agree, that advert (Boots vits I think) is just disgusting.

Freya5 Thu 29-Feb-24 18:48:41

It is dreadful,yes I mute it and go and do something else,it's on long enough, like make a coffee. It's among the worst,the other one being the huge backsides advertising toilet roll, and the wee pads. Ghastly.

How about the little girl in the childcare care ad who states that she's inside the camera? A joy to behold!

Oldbat1 Thu 07-Mar-24 21:28:54

All adverts are muted in this house. Couldnt tell you about any advert.

FoghornLeghorn Thu 07-Mar-24 22:41:24

Yes. It’s gives me the rage. It’s revolting.

I also hate the vitamin one with the revolting child sucking the chocolate off the sweets and passing on her germs.

Plus the Astonish one where a spoiled little girl drops ice cream all over, and sweeps her drink onto the floor, only for her indulgent parents to sigh, smile and get out the floor cleaner.

Oh, and not forgetting the car advert, (no idea which car) with the skinny hairless cat featuring.

Me neither. Basically the ad consists of watching a fish die. Yes, I'm sure it isn't a real one.

Horatia Fri 08-Mar-24 07:24:41

I mute all the ads too.

specki4eyes Fri 08-Mar-24 07:44:01

It is absolutely disgusting, I mute it so I don't know what brand of noodles they're advertising...RESULT! for the advertiser! (Irony)
As for Alison Hammond, I mute the kitchen advert and veto any programme she is on. She is utterly dreadful and an insult to the (mainly) good people of the West Midlands.
And don't get me started on the snotty kid sucking the chocolate off the nuts! Again, don't know what it's advertising ..it makes me nauseous.

Bonnybanko Fri 08-Mar-24 07:47:01

I actually love pot noodles and Allison Hammond she’s so funny - well that’s my opinion like it or lump it as my mum would say 🤣

Bonnybanko Fri 08-Mar-24 07:47:58

Mind you I don’t like these adverts on tv I just whiz past them

Vito Fri 08-Mar-24 10:09:12

Yes hate it .

Cossy Fri 08-Mar-24 10:11:28

It’s awful and makes me feel sick!

Lona Fri 08-Mar-24 10:56:24

Yes! It’s disgusting!

Cossy Fri 08-Mar-24 11:14:22

I hate the ads for most things, as for the one with the snotty child….🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Jaybird1951 Thu 21-Mar-24 11:14:30

I did send an email and was told that most people like it😱
