Which adverts make you mad?

The elderly lady standing on the doorstep of the couple saying she doesn’t have a roast dinner very often these days. For crying out loud cook yourself a dinner woman! They won’t ask you again.

Just play me all the Lloyds Bank 'Black Horse' adverts on a constant loop! They haven't had a bad one yet, the team behind them deserve every award possible.

Worst - what a deep pool. I especially hate the Maltesers ads aiming to be inclusive of those with disabilities. I do not find a woman simulating a hand job with an ejaculation of Maltesers the slightest bit entertaining, and neither would it be good viewing whatever the ability, age, race or gender of its actors. Not funny, not clever. I hate Parky promoting the over-50s insurance plans. I hate the 'finger-lickin' good' ads for KFC, and not only because of the awful food poisoning they gave me decades ago. I hated this year's John Lewis Edgar ad, message lost somewhere this time (I hated the Elton John one too). I hate adverts with women finding lots of ways to describe their stress incontinence - it happens, again it isn't funny. I hate the Haribo ads with children's voices attached to adult executives. I hate ads with pets using human voices. I hate... far too much, evidently.

I only watch ITV for the 10 o'clock news, because I dislike the BBC's biases. Most of the ads I see apart from that are on Sky Arts or their News channel.

There is one ad that I really think should be banned (and I am not a 'ban it' type at all), and that is the one with a wordsearch where the answer is stupidly easy, so vulnerable people will be sure to find it. The prize is about £15k, with extra if you can 'solve' another puzzle, and costs up to £12 to enter.

They make a big deal of how the phone call to enter only lasts a minute - harking back to the days when calls were charged by the minute, and the actual cost of the call is in the small print, which might not be easy to read for an elderly person.

The odds must be high, the prize is very low compared to the cost of entry, and IMO the whole thing is very exploitative.

Also, the entry is by telephone, so the organisers will have the number of the entrants, and I'd be surprised if they don't use it to contact them again. It is usually on during programmes such as Poirot, obviously in the hope of targeting an older market.

All of the stupid Bingo ads.

Oh, and Alan Titchmarch is unlikely to be in a position where he has to save up for his funeral. He must be worth a fortune - do they think we are stupid?

Yes, June and the bloke on the (guaranteed!) over 50 plan is particularly awful.

The all-knowing man telling the little woman what she needs, and her simpering acceptance. I loathe that advert.

June and the funeral plan and the stannah stairlift one cringeworthy!

never mind about making me mad- but more like upset and shocked. All the adverts about gambling and money loans for. Sick.

There are two at the minute which drive me insane. One is for Pot Noodles and the other for something to do with second hand cars, and both feature someone holding a noooooooooooooooooooooooote until I change channel.

Normally, I screen out adverts - I can just stop listening, but these ones are impossible.

Any ad that reminds me I have to sort out finance for my funeral and all the oldies who are so excited about theirs.

Any advert encouraging people of a certain age to take out equity release and spend at least some of it their AC.

I would love to see one that suggests blowing the whole lot on a once in a life time holiday.

Those blooming SunLife adverts!!

The Rightmove one with bl---y Graham makes me want to throw something!!!! Its on SO often, time after time after time

Netflix and Prime, to avoid adverts, possibly channel4 and lots of YouTube....
I tried ITV for an hour and gave up.....because of adverts and dumbed down tv

Most of the adverts irritate me so no way of identifying one.

But just two I must say I like or have made me smile.

The Gillete ad with the "nice" clean shaven young man who shaves because he isnt being ruled or controlled by the thoughts of others and is just " the best a man can get" ( vast improvement on their woke adverts of the past).

The Tetley tea ad with the dog and the cat putting the kettle on when their owner goes out ( rainy day) and the cat tells the dog that he will have to go for a walk in that later etc.

A dog ad I really dislike is that one for a fit bit for a dog! Give me strength. But most ads are pretty dire these days.

DH always says “You women have no shame” when faced with all the ads for incontinence pads, vaginal dryness, stool softeners etc etc.

I just find this so corny. Who can afford to surprise their daughter on a flight? Too much money!

I hate the jump around advert . I love jumpers and the ' Jump Around ' song( from Mrs Doubtfire ! ) but that girl dancing with the weird arms just freaks me out . Maybe they should have Mrs Doubtfire !

Where do I start, that awful Nicole shirtswinger what ever he name is making ridiculous noises while eating yogurt and the one that she falls over in, those dreadful men in the star mix ad talking like children that really freaks me out! The wayfair advert where Lorraine Kelly is jiggling about. Gladstone Brooks ad,

I keep seeing the Tena advert on my BT email. I click on the "I don't like this" but it comes up every time! Is this all I'm good for? (...and I don't even need them!)

I don’t watch a lot of tv, and tend to record programmes I want to see. That way I can fast-forward through the ads. It’s impossible to avoid seeing some, though, but I rarely remember what they are advertising.
My pet hates, at the moment, are Peter Crouch and his phone contract (stick to the football, Peter. You can’t act for toffee!) and the American man lying on a sofa, rhapsodising about how wonderful it is. I’m dreading the Christmas ads. I will be in Australia from mid-November, and their tv programmes and ads are much worse than ours!
I’m glad that you all like the horses. I actually saw them a while ago, at Southport Flower Show, and they are so beautiful and clever, trained by a very nice man.

I never watch anything live on the advert channels just so I can fast forward all the ads, hate the lot of them!

Vacuum cleaners with the hideous footage showing the stuff coming out. I love the clever collie dog that dashes in to rescue her blue bone but I have to miss that so as not to see the disgusting stuff in the cylinder also I feel disgusted at the sight of magnified flea eggs on carpet fibres. Vacuum cleaner ads make me pleased I have no carpets.

Almost all adverts. Go compare tops the hate list.

There's an advert where some dopey looking bloke is stood in front of the camera. This ghastly, awful, squeaky 'music' starts to play and I think this man gyrates a bit.

Dreadful advert.

No idea what it's for.

I'm rather liking the Tale of 2 Cities one that BT have done.
