Which adverts make you mad?

I don't mind ads for medical problems - how else would we know that products were available, or what to ask for if we need them? I don't think that we should be ashamed of bodily functions, or find them too gross to watch.

It's more the portrayal of older women as dependent, or in need of advice from random men that I find annoying, when in reality we are expected to work until 67, and many go on to volunteer for long after that.

I think that the funeral plan/'over 50 plan' ads should be strictly regulated, too. Anyone with a house to leave behind doesn't need one, as the money for a funeral can come out of their estate, so there is no question of being a burden to loved ones.

For those in rented accommodation with no savings, it might be different, but I think that the ads should have to make clear exactly what the responsibility of loved ones would be, and where the state would step in. If people are going to leave less than £3k behind, they can't have a lot of disposable income, and it seems to me exploitative to guilt trip them into putting money into a scheme that makes money for the company, and might not pay out if they cancel when the premiums increase.

All adverts.

I don't like the one of the young girl sitting like a Buddha. It's for one of the internet companies. She is in bed insisting she watches one last episode before going to sleep. Surely not.

The one about the "amazing new idea" of coffee bags. It drives me mad. My Belgian mother in law used them back in the 70s and 80s. Think she got them in Waitrose.

There is one, and I can't remember what it is advertising, but it is a baby about six months old or so in a crib, close up of face and there she is 'singing 'the words to a song, it creeps me out every time.

The viagra couple floating about their home, in post coital ecstasy, just stop in bed and have a cuddle why don't you!
Or fall back to sleep again, like most people.

For every tena lady add, there should be a tena man add.
(They do exist for men, I've seen them in wilkos)

The peliton adverts, drive me insane, just ride your bike in the open air for goodness sake.

I love the 'black horse' adverts, in one of the earlier ones the horse went to nuzzle a woman's baby bump at the end, made me nearly cry.

We always record programmes which feature adds so we fast forward them all . What I really hate are the adds on Classic FM radio. They all have terrible put on accents and the content is cringeworthy. They must think their audience are morons.

the one where a friend tells her how to insert a tampon!!!! yuk yuk

The ad showing either Holly Willoughby or Davina McCall using a colourant to colour their own hair.....really?? , don't believe for one minute they don't go the hairdresser !

Also I'm unusual as I do enjoy the kid in the AA advert , so cute

That coffee bags one annoys me too. I was buying them in the '70s.

Daytime ads, watched a Place in the Sun as it was to feature where we used to live. All the ads are for funeral plans/life insurance/care homes/meal deliveries/stair lifts/incontinence.
A) it’s obviously assumed an older demographic are the only people that watch daytime TV.
B) All of them are decrepit.

How presumptive and demeaning!!

We don't need tv adverts to know about new sanitary products. There are women's magazines, newspapers. Also companies used to give free samples of new products.

The most recent ad which irritates me is not to do with older people but is advertising diluting juice. It's a young boy regaling adults with tips for dinner parties etc. He is a dead ringer for a young Rees Mogg, and I would dislike the advert for that alone. However the script calls for him to be patronising and smug and drives me wild! ☺

I ignore adverts almost all inane. Hence why my viewing preferred from recordings where I can blast through them. Ad blocks on my desktop as well - darn nuisance. Oh, for the day someone invents an advert switch off button on the remote like that for subtitles.

The other day, the signing person appeared at the bottom right-hand side of the screen. Such an improvement on the usual manic arm waving going on behind the speaker - does strange things ones eyes. And before someone jumps in my gc is deaf.

the ad for 'your dry intimate areas'

Youngism....I cannot stand those adverts for women’s fashions and the jingles used I do a rugby tackle across the room for the remote...some of them are so annoying. Advert jingles in general annoy me. There is one for a red SVU SEAT that really annoys me. Most of the time I have the mute button on. The begging adverts during the day and the funeral adverts. The revolting bodily function adverts put on at tea time generated to repulse and hopefully stay in your memory. The sponsor adverts, sponsor a donkey, tiger,elephant,monkey,lama,camel,snake, spider, ant......etc....

Can’t stand most of them but some of the Aldi ones are ok. At least they don’t have the same ones over and over again. We have a particularly unpleasant one, repeated ad nauseam, of a very , very well endowed bloke advertising mens’ jocks. I would say there is a large potato down there.

"Lets talk about leaky bladders" I'd rather not thankyou.

The Pringles one is rubbish, a zombie sitting on a sofa with a lad then starts to dismember his body plonks a thumb on the table, it then becomes ermmm erect and looks like something else! (well it does to me)

I have really gone off Idris Elba ( used to really like him) he is on every break for sky advertising their programmes he did one before Christmas where he sang the twelve days of Christmas it was excruciating.
Also all the celebrities that promote gambling companies.
