I love the Gingsters (pasties)ad and also I think the Specsavers ads are really clever
The one that really gets to me is Andrex it’s just so weird
I’m not sure if we see the same adverts in all parts of the country 🤷♀️
I loathe them all!
I find a lot of ads irritating and infantile but I'm really sick to death of all the ads that fill the screens with peoples backsides jiggling up and down.
And why are all car ads arty with absolutely no information about the actual car involved.
I hate the period gush woman who jumps of the bus and looks to see if she's leaked in the shop window!
I'm just watching deliveroo ad of the half man half octopus eating his takeaway with his girlfriend 🤷🏻♀️.
I hate the incontinence adverts where she says Let it all go. Also all the funeral adverts so morbid and not what I want to think about yet.
I like the ebay ads and vinted makes me want to declutter
Pure cremations on nearly every ad break. Don’t keep reminding me I am nearer the end than the beginning, it’s so depressing. Pee pants woman, adverts that use some of my favourite pop songs butchered to fit, Keira knightly screaming ad for perfume, whatever happened to jingles?
I really like the Petplan advert and also the Sky advert that featured the rather lovely Andrew Garfield (totally due to self interest!)
I loathed the Daisy perfume ad' with the word just repeated but hopefully no more, until the next festive season.
I noticed the pee pad lady in her new kitchen too lol.
Dislike the funeral plan/cremation adverts, and the whistling ones (is that insurance?). The expensive car adverts which always state that the car shown is not the same spec as ones in this country, so why show it?
Anything to do with bodily functions.
Ant and Dec building society one, so stupid. Can't stand them anyway.
One I do like, always has my foot tapping, is the young guitar playing lad on the EDF advert. He is playing, what a talent.
I nearly always record anything on advert channels so that I can whizz through them, usual saves about 15 minutes.
All of the funeral plan ads but particularly the twee woman talking through the door to her large husband who is in the bath
I agree, and I always imagine the next stage where she throws an electric heater into his bath...........
By the sound of it, I am very glad that we no longer have a television!!!
Never watch them
I dislike the LNER train line advert with the red haired puppet and the terrible music.
Georgesgran, your hobby made me laugh . I have never noticed who is in which advert but I’ll be looking out for it in future 😂
Turn the sound off for adverts.
I cannot stand the woman's voice on the Viking cruise ad. Is she trying to appeal to older people?, if so, it's not working. Generally any ads with OAPs in, makes them look either imbeciles or patronising. I quite like the one with the badger in, I think it's for Capital, it always makes me laugh, likewise the Nationwide ones.

My ‘hobby’ and yes, I obviously need to get out more, is spotting the same actors in different ads!
The lady who wants dancing at her funeral has just won £10K on the Marie Curie lottery and bought a new car with it.
The pee-pad lady, sitting on her chap’s shoulders at a gig, has a new kitchen, courtesy of Wickes, while the lady who glues in her dentures is now dancing in Chums clothing and the widow, gazing mournfully at her late man’s pic on her coffee cup is plastering Philadelphia on both sides of her bagel with new man.
😂😂I’ll have to pay more attention.
I mute them.

I simply hate the man whistling (at his daughter's wedding?) - SO annoying.

I have to mute most of them. My particular bugbears are the smug Derek in the garden centre waxing lyrical about his Sun Life plans, the bulky pee pants woman (which always seems to come on just as I’m eating my dinner) ditto the ‘oh my gush moment’ woman.
All of the funeral plan ads but particularly the twee woman talking through the door to her large husband who is in the bath.
Also can’t stand the huge Kellogg cockerel parading through the city, nor the Lucozade ad, nor the bloke who whistles, can’t think what it’s for.
I wonder what they get paid for coming up with this drivel?
I like the Gillette ad as the tune is nice, and the Haribo policemen.
Oh yes, I do like the Haribo ad, we ARE the police
But you also reminded me of all the other awful ads 😂😂😂😂
I’m not sure I have any advert I like anymore!
I loathe all the sanitary ads, the incontinence ads and the blonde woman on the mobility aids ad.
I like the Airbnb adverts. Strangely! I just love the little characters and the story line of growing family etc etc
However I'd not go on an Airbnb trip so the ad hasn't worked too well for me!
I don't think I like the poor chicken being surrounded by zombies but I like the music.
I can't stand the gush adverts for tena lady nor the one with Scarlet from Gogglebox telling us how easy it is to insert a tampax. It wasn't 50 years ago and I doubt it's much easier now.
Most adverts today are awful.
We avoid adverts by recording programmes.

Don’t watch them and turn the sound off when the adverts come on. Mostly they are annoying.
No favourites. They all just interrupt whatever I am watching, especially annoying when it's a film.
Least favourites; the big man in the small bath, the pee pant women, the various men and women who go into ecstasies about various cleaning products and smells. I could go on but I won't as they have all been mentioned before on other threads.
