Adverts that are being shown on the tele

I can't think of one good advert at the moment. And there used to be many but those days are gone.

I used to work with all men at one time, and during our 12.5 hour shifts, there was a brief lull when we could sit down, before the chaos began again.

It was just at the time when the ads for tenalady, denture fixatives, and the "full handbag" (constipation) came on the tv.

I hate the pure cremations, panty liners, especially the young woman walking about in her underwer, holding the baby,..

I am fed up with the endlessly boring ones like the ones which show cars (this model is not available outside the EU) being driven on the right.

Also the bodily function ones such as menstruation, urinary incontinence, constipation and diarrhoea!!

Advertisement breaks seem to be longer with a seemingly endless stream of tedious short films. They are more frequent than they used to be as well, the first break often occurring less than ten minutes after the start of the programme.

They seem to me to merge into each so that one minute I'm in the kitchen mopping the floor with a super mop and then all of a sudden I'm on a cruise ship.

It’s the constant begging ones that really annoy me, so many on in the afternoons.

The older couple getting over excited about holiday insurance or the people who dance around with laundry and the man who uses Flash treating his mop with abnormal enthusiasm, make me chuckle. I mean who gets excited about these things, unless under the influence of something.
And I cannot stand the young woman with Fairy washing powder cuddling her small child, she just lays it on way to thick.

“It’s that time”

Yeah most adverts annoy me, but I like the ones with Peter Crouch and I quite like the fairy washing ones with Vogue.

Other than that, they are mostly just very very annoying and far far too long and frequent! Sometimes they come on so quickly I think for a moment it’s part of the programme 🤣🤣🤣

I thought you were going to say Peter Kay for a minute there.
Well guess what?
I don't like him, either.

I don't like the bed ones where everyone goes to sleep smiling!

I don't mind the more informative body function ones: its the sort of thing people are often embarrassed to talk about - the Tena ones are OK -

its that tummy one that cures di-or-eaa
and insurance for my ideal funeral plan
and endless ads for home bath or other aids featuring a smiling glam 60 yr old

The very personal ones, who wants to know about other women's menstrual or urinary problems except the GP?

The BBC puts on so many adverts now too. DH can't stand "I'm going back to Barry".

I'm enjoying this thread more than any advert! 😁

I hate the constant pure cremation ones targeted at the older people who watch afternoon television. I find them really depressing. However, we rarely watch adverts as we record any ITV programmes so that we can fast forward through them.
Many years ago we were on holiday in the USA and a regular advert featured a taxi driver who said. ‘Gee what a time to get a job as a taxi driver just as I’ve got haemorrhoids!’ We found that hilarious at the time.

I've given up on watching live TV, I watch what I want through the apps for each channel. Far more choice that way.

I've recently treated myself and paid for ad-free on ITV (£60 for a year) and Channel 4 (£40 for a year).
It's made such difference to my enjoyment of watching a programme or series!

And the ads for cars nearly always display the model in question sweeping along empty Highland roads, hindrance-free, beautiful scenery and not a caravan in sight. Nor a traffic policeman.

Why do men think it’s so wonderful to get a clean house when women have been doing it forever with no fuss.

I wouldn't mind if one of them came and cleaned mine!

I'll award them a 🏅 as they pose with their mop and bottle of Flash!!

Advert I hate on Netflix is the guy driving up the steps in a blue Range Rover, gets out & gives the dog a ball he’s retrieved.
Now when I see that actor in anything, I switch off.

The man in the over-filled bubble bath who enjoyed the sausage rolls at a funeral turned up again last night. His wife is still talking to him from the other side of the bathroom door.

When the cremations ones -particularly the Simplicity ones I switch off ,
mute the TV,.change channels,make a cup of tea or go to the loo !
Anything,but listen to the "way to go " jingle.

Maybe his wife has to stay on the other side of the bathroom door because she has an irresistible urge to push him under the water.

Have enjoyed the Specsavers adverts - that one where the fellow misses his plane. Then the current one (not Specsavers) where the man misses his check in because he has to negotiate the way to the desk where that woman sits with that superior look on her face. Then there are those adverts which I have no idea what they are advertising. Also all those ones which advocate hiding smells by smothering them with some potent substitute which probably irritate your lungs. Hate that pair who coo over travel insurance or the ones where dealing with your funeral is really exciting.
